telegram telling what is needed, and
1 have got to go around and explain
things to the parts maker so that he
will shift the proportions OF his pro-

requirements. Sometimes these shifts
are very sudden, and their necessity
could not be impressed adequately on
the parts maker without a man on the
ground to take UP the matter person
ally.
With factory making only a COM
paratively few cars, it is possible for
the purchasing agent himself to take q
little run out in case there is any de-
lay on some part and the plant where
drop IT'S other work for the short time
necessary to clean up the job. But in
big quantity of work the case is en-
t1rely different, both from the stand
point OF the car manufacturer and the
parts maker, because the whole thing
is continuous high speed performance.
where factory is working on the
big production basis all the various
parts must flow in without Interrupt

the full completion Of the cars. If
there is a delay in even the smallest

The experience Of one part chaser
is typical of them all. He says:
AT one OF the plants where we are
having lamps made there was a serious
tagging in the deliveries, so I was
called upon by the factory to remedy
things I found the lamp people ready
to assist me in every possible way, and
they even invited by advice and sug-
gestions as to how they could expedite
deliveries So, taking them at their
word, I roamed around their place and
saw some things which I thought could
be improved If the best results were TO
be obtained Among other suggestions

cesses so that instead of the lamps be-

The Temple garage, Barnett & Kaar,
proprietors. at 10s-11i West South
Temple street, which has Just taken the
Utah agency for the Locomobile, will
receive it's first shipment of cars the
first OF this week. Because of the great
demand for Locomobiles on the coast
the San Francisco office, which has the
western agency, could send but two cars
to Salt Lake, one being a 90-horse
power touring car, the other 3o-horse
power baby tonneau, IN the popular
style of grain.
Barnett & KRar have been flooded
with inquiries since they announced a
few days ago that they had entered
the selling field. and while they have
been limited to six cars for the sum
mer, they anticipate no difficulty in
supplying all orders when the 1911 cars
are placed on the market in August.
The two cars TO be received this
week have been sold, and several Of the
remaining four TO be received have been
spoken for. Because of this the Temple
garage people will be unable to enter
any Locomobiles In the auto races
scheduled for the end of the week,

merits to the general public

BASKET BALL

The Normal basket ball season
will open Friday evening, Dec. 2,
with a game between the Normal
quintet and the Hudson high school
team, to be played in the Normal
gymnasium.
This game will be we'll worth
going to see. The Hudson high is
a strong candidate for the state
high school championship, and with
a team which has played together
for three years, should put up a
clever game. Prospects are excel
lent for a strong team at the Nor
NAL, also, as all of last years regu-
lars are back and there are num-
Der of new men of exceptional abil-
ity who have entered school this
year. The team gives promise of
being the best that has represented
the Normal for several years.
The schedule so far as arranged,
includes the following games to be
played at home: Ellsworth high,
Dec. 16; Prescott high, Jan. 20; La
Crosse Normal, Feb. IL. Arrange
ments are being made for a game
with the Superior Normal quintet,
but no date has yet been fixed.

The great sun hides it's face,
Slowly the beauteous light must die,
Which reflects from the wonderful Grace.
Gently the soft wind lulls to sleep
The brides in their nest;
The silvery moon from out the east,
Watches DER the peaceful rest
The flowers have closed their tired eyes
And dropped their pretty heads;
And darkness coming from the skies,
Gives the whole world rest.
So Sleep, little one, on your pillow soft,
No harm shall come to you here,
For far away, in the Heavens aloft,
You are watched by Father dear

Local Hunters
Interview Dietz

DR.. W. G. Fortune and Bonnie
Rosenberg returned from their
hunting expedition Friday morning,
each bringing deer. Thew did
not join the Marengo Club in Bay
field county, but did their hunting
in Sawyer county, making their
headquarters at Hayward. They
had long and interesting talk with
Mr.. and Mrs. John Dietz and son
Leslie in the Jail at Hayward and
also with sheriff Madden, who &C.
companied them as far as Spooner
on their homeward trip. They re-
port that the people in Hayward are
far from being in sympathy with
the Dietz cause and that Dietz
complaint of being underfed, ETC.,
in the Jail was unwarranted, as he
receives the same fare as the sheriff
and his family. The general i'm
preston is that the Dietz trial, if
held at all, will be held in Eau Claire,
and that he will never be convicted
on any of the charges for which he
is now being detained. Mrs Dietz
remarked on the contrast of their
positions now and at the same time
last year, when they were entertain
ing a dozen or fifteen deer hunters
at their home on the banks of the
Thornapple. In regard TO the deer
the hunters "bagged," somehow
their tales of "how they shot 'em"
reminds one of that song about
Kelly, sung in the minstrel show,
the prominent lines of which were:

The November Badger

The Normal school Senior class
publication, The Normal Badger,
for November is just off the press.
1t reflects great credit THE class
and the Badger staff. The editor
ials are excellently composed, the
class notes and general school news
gotten up in most interesting
fashion, and the humor we'll select
ed. The stories and poems in the
literary department exhibit excep-
tional talent along these lines. The
cover design and illustrated head
ings, drawn by Miss Mollie Tron-
stad, the staff artist, are truly ar
tistic. Two photos from the Shop
ard studio, one of President Wilson
and the other of the 1910 football
squad add considerable interest. to
the publication.
There will be three more issues
of the Badger this school year, and
everyone who is at all concerned
in the welfare of the school will find
these publications to be of except
ional interest.
A good example of the general
excellence of the Badger material is
shown by the following poem, writ
ten by a member of the Junior
oloCc.

A Very Considerable Council

value of his property and all its better
rnents. With this much profit cinched
and all deferred payments drawing per
cent interest he has better thing than
aay running chance as to earnings, for
some day a city council might have
nerve enough to cut his rates again If
the exact size Of the earnings should
be discovered.
However this figuring OF earnings
and per cents is confusing to some.
What will Mr.. Jones say to the invi-
tation extended to him to expose his
books to expert accountants and ap-
praisers OF the councils own choosing?
He will never stand for it. His real
earnings and his actual investment
would then be discovered just as 1t was
discovered by the accountants and en-
gineers who represented possible pur-
chasers. The council would have to
cut his rates still lower and the city
couldn't afford to buy at his price. He
will make a counter proposition de-
signed to gain more delay. Delay is
always desirable to the prisoner under
sentence. The council might be in
duced to waiver. He will insist upon
selecting the experts himself and he
will demand a stipulation as to what
earnings he shall be allowed. He will
want about 10 per cent on the total
valuation on the borrowed money which
costs him per cent as well as on the
equity which he has Invested. Then
he will take his chances on being able
to select experts who will appraise the
property high enough.
In the Cedar Rapids case the COM
pany produced some thirty experts who
testified to the most ridiculous fairy
tales imaginable. For instance one
manager had testified once before in
Chicago case that 1t cost SO cents to
produce gas in Chicago and within
six months afterwards the Chicago
com pany voluntarily sold gas at IS
cents and made 6 per cent on all Of its
securities at the price. 1t was about
all the city's attorneys could do to ma
experts who were above reproach even
after the district court had given them
full authority to choose anyone they
desired. The city council in Marshall
| town should beware Of the experts 1t
should never stipulate that Jones e
Hovey should enjoy profits On money
| which they have not invested. Il should
hold Jones & Hovey to strict compliance
with its proposition TO expose the
books on exactly the same terms under
which a district court would order
them into review. No compromise
| would be safe or Just to the people. No
good lawyer would let his client make
any other agreement. Would the mayor
or any good business man buy the
property without seeing those books
and appraising the property with his
own experts?

If ever there was a considerate and
lenient city council toward a public
utility company which has been over
charging the people and understanding
the community thru a long period Of
years, 1t is the present city administra-
ton. Here is the city council deliber-
ating over set of rate ordina nces
which propose rates not nearly as low
as many another city of similar popu-
lation has enjoyed for years while the
mayor presents a proposition for pur
chase of the plant which is based upon
a repres entation that the company
earnings now are $4,000 per annum
and WILL under the proposed reduced
rates, increase to $4,000 per annum in
very few years. The mayor is a
shrewd and successful business man
and has been negotiating with the
president of the company. 1t must be
assumed that he is informed as to the
earnings.
Now, it is known that three different
sets Of engineers have appraised the
company's property within recent years
and that all have practically agreed on
$780, 600 as the value of the plant be-
fore these recent improvements were
made. The money borrowed on 1t is
$3.50, 900, leaving $4,000 as the actual
equity invested. II the earnings will be
s35, 900 this year, after the new rates
are in force, as the mayor predicts,
then the new rates proposed in the
Hull ordinances will leave Jones &
Hovey 50 per cent profit on their ac-
tual equity after interest charges have
been paid. A city council which is pro-
posing to leave a public utility COM
pany any such profit as this must have
the buck ague or else 1t would make
its rates a little lower.
And again, remembering that the
mayor plans to put into effect under
municipal ownership rates equally as
low az proposed in the Hull ordinances,
it must follow that il the net earnings
would reach 200 in the seventh year
under city management, 1t would do
the same under Jones & Hovey's man
agement. This is an admission after
careful conference with President
Jones that the net earnings under the
Hull schedule of rates will rise to
more than 43 per cent on his actual
equity even after he has spent $4,000
for betterments.
II would seem that IL the mayor has
a straight tip as to what the earnings
would be under the new Hull rates that
President Jones ought to be dreadfully
worried for fear Hull might be struck
by lightning or something before his
ordinances were passed.
But our friend Jones has inquired
himself safe. He proposes In his OPP
ton to the mayor TO have the people
| Of Marshalltown pay him $4,000 Tor hii
good will over and above the actua
