WANT UNIFORM
STREET LAMPS

Street Commissioner Tuerke
is opposed to the erection of
any varied assortment Of side
walk lamps or eIectroIiers, and
suggests that people first see
about their permits before CIV
ing contracts for the lamps.
The permits pass through Com
missioner Tuerke's department.
One reason for the suggestion
as to care in awarding con-
tracts is the desire to have a
uniform lot of street electro.
Tiers. The chamber of COM
merce has the matter under
consideration, and the street
department will. probably aid
the chamber in securing the
adoption of a uniform style of
lamp post.
The suggestion as to care In
making contracts is made at
this time for the reason that
agents with different styles
may get busy and try to sign
up property owners on the plea
that their lamp fills the bill.

Mules Are Shocked

Last Monday afternoon Fritz Elges
tied span of mules to a telephone and
electric pole in front of Dettling's
saloon and few moments later Sorona
IL sheep man. noticed both mules
sprawled out on the ground and appar-
emily III great agony. Not knowing
that the animals were being subjected
to heavy current Of electricity because
of their halter chains coming in contact
with ground wire running down the
pole, he rushed up and grabbed the
halter chain, intending to free the
mules. The second his hand came in
contact with the chain, the unseen
agency sent him staggering. Not being
acquainted with the pranks of electric
ity, Sorona made another attempt to
unite the mules and again he received
u jolt that he will not soon forget.
Seeing that something was wrong with
his mules, Mr.. Elges hurried to their
assistance. The first thing he did was
to grab hold of the halter chain and
the next thing he did was to take a
seat on mother earth. Discovering the
trouble, he secured a pair of iron
cutters but the handles were not in
sulated and got another shakeup before
the mules were .emancipated from
their electrified position. - Record

BUYS A NEW CLOCK.
Then He Shows False Economy Of
Keeping Old One Too Long.

AT last" sad :. Quillback, I'VE
have bought : lock, and good
ness knows we led il.
.. 1.-THE old CLOCK was q small, round
nic@el-plated timekeeper we had had
for some years, and in the course Of
time 1t began to show signs of wear
But we hated to go 10 the expense Of
a new clock as long as we could make
that one do, so we kept it, shaking her
up most every day for something like
year until finally it got to be so tire
some that we mustered up courage
and bought new clock, e.
And then I did little figuring. In
the course Of year 1 had spent an
average Of five minutes a day shaking
up that old clock on, say, 300 days,
making, to save the cost of a new
clock, gross total of time spent
amounting to 1900 minutes. You d.
vide this by 30 and you find that had
spent in shaking up that blessed old
clock little more than 25 hours!
Now, in the way of income, you
know, don't pretend to class up with
the Rockefellers and Carnegies and
that sort of folks, but figuring my
earning capacity, on the modest basis
of so cents an hour ] find that have
spent in shaking up that miserable old
ticker time to the value of $3.50! And
the new clock cost only 50 cents!
of course, buying the new clock
when we did instead of year sooner,
we saved the wear on 1t in that
period, and if we count the life. of
such a clock at say ten years we find
that we Lave thus saved about seven
cents worth Of wear on the new clock,
and this, properly, of course, should be
deducted from the $3.50, but even at
that, in the best showing possible we
find that to save SO cents we have met
with net loss of $12.43, to say moth
ing Of the wear and tear on us caused
by the aggravation Of having to shake
the old clock up every day and make
it go!
I'VE had been, as in so many ways
we are prone 10 be. penny wise and
pound foolish, but we are learning
wisdom and we haven't got TO shake
the old clock UP any more, anyway"

The Age Of Gold

This is beyond comparison the age
of gold. One thirtieth of all the gold
that has been mined since Columbus
found the Americas, has been dug from
Mother Earth this year. Since gold is
the measure of value for all things. the
effect which 1nIst be produced upon the
price of every known commodity by
this stupendous o1tpouring of the metal
is very great and also world wide. 1t
is obvious that the result of increasing
so rapidly the supply of gold. which is
the universal yardstick of values, is to
increase with nearly equal rapidity
everything which it measures. Take
away gold and the values drop. but
swell the quantity of gold known to he
in existence and values leap upward
again. -Philadelphia Press.

WELLS FARGO'S DIVISION
OF ENORMOUS PROFITS

The increase of the capital stock of
the Wells-Fargo Express Company
from 81, 600, 900 to $24, 100000 is merely
q convenient means of absorbing the
accumulated surplus profits of about
$1G,000,O00. A special dividend of $500
u share has been declared to the stock
holders, out of which subscriptions for
new stock may be paid.
Such an enormous surplus of profits
means excessive earnings through over
charges for service rendered the public
says the Sacramento Bee. This is be-
this country are SO high that they en-
able the express companies successfully
to compete with the Post Office and yet
charge EXCEPTIONALLY high rates. The
express companies have long been so
strongly represented at Washington, in
both houses of Congress, that they have
been able to defeat any material re-
duction of rates.
The railroads are hand in glove with
the express companies, for mu CHI of the
stock of the latter is held by the rail
roads. The railroads charge the ex-
press companies relatively much less
than they do the Post Office Depart
mcnt for like transportation, and the ex-
cuse of the postal service for high rates
on parcels is the high cost Of mail car
riage.
Thus one monopoly supports another
at Washington. There is u system of
wheels within wheels constantly at
work tonthe disadvantage of the public
But the agitation for IL cheap parcels
post cannot be suppressed, and grad
ually the public mind is being enlighten-
ened to the point where the reform can
not longer be refused. The cost of
carrying the mails must he greatly re-
duced, and with that reduction will
come substantially lower rates of post
age, particularly on parcels.
