"A Years
Improvement

One year ago this company signed con-
tracts for about $50, 1000 worth of new ma
chinery, to replace the old plant, which the
rapid growth Of this city had rendered insult
ficient and entirely unsatisfactory to give
the grade Of electrical service the commu-
nifty demanded.
In six busy months that followed, we
put this new machinery into our plant, and
began operation with clean new outfit.
Since then we have made constant efforts
to enlarge and to better the service to our
customers. and to raise to new level the
methods of conducting the electric light
business of this city.
The money we spent for the new equip
ment did not all 60 tc the factories and mills
Of the Eastern States. Our payroll in Chick
sha for men employed on construction work
was $4,000; our regular employees and
office help received 81 l 900 more; and we
bought of local merchants and business men
who themselves were maintaining pay-rols,
several thousand dollars worth; so il is cor
rect to say that our work put nearly SIS, 900
right into the pockets of Chickasha people;
IS per cent Of it TO be spent here in town.
We wish the amount had been twice as
big. We expect to prosper here only as 9TH
er business firms prosper, and whenever our.
expenditures take the form of money paid
for wages, most of which goes directly to
build up the business and prosperity Of this
community, we realize that it is twice
good an investment as that money which
has to go to manufacturers and merchants in
other parts of the country.
The requirements of an electric plant to
furnish the public with first-class, reliable
service, with steady lights and even power,
are numerous and difficult to meet; time and
money and painstaking effort has to be ex-
pended to make an old plant over into
new one. The worries and responsibilities
of the business are ours; we try to deliver to
you finished product of satisfactory service,
at fair price, measured fairly and paid for
in friendly and amicable fashion.
We know there is still room for improve
ment; and we are not going to stop trying
to make our service better and our business
relations with the PEOPLE Of Chickasha in
creasingIy satisfactory all round.

suNFLoWER PHILOSOPHY

Methods are plentiful when it comes
to killing time.
When the Lord made mankind. the
devil added the tongue.
A womans idea of a good doctor is
one who has a tender voice and SYM
pathetic eyes.
You can't, as a rule. judge mans
interest in history by the number of
occasions he celebrates.
The man who ate 80 eggs in 80 min
utes probably couldn't do it now; the
fool rarely prospers.
There being no Indians or bandits or
perlous adventure these days. 1t is
easy for any man to tell his wife he
is brave. and make it good.
If there is anything that makes peo-
pie trouble tired it is to be told that
peoples hearts go out to them in SYM
pathy. They don't want hearts: they
want money. There are nine counter
feits of sympathy to one that is genu-
inc.
Two women We're discussing wo-
mems dress last night, and decided
that the real sign of slouchiness. and
one no man should overlook. is rag
ged or dirty petticoat under a nice
dress. Any woman has time to trim
the ragged frills off her petticoat, and
any woman who hasn't time, or
doesn't take time to keep her petit

keep a house clean.-Atchison (Kan)

N Kennebec JOurnal:

Editor kennebec Journal: M
Ny atten ton was called to an item
IT. a recent issue OF the Journal, fur
nished by Miss Butterfield of North
Auburn, in regard to a slave once own
ed by my great grandfather, Reming-
ton Hobby of Vassalboro. The item
states that Mr.. Hobby received the
negro in payment of debt owed him
by a Boston merchant who was slave
owner.
| have often heard my mother tell OF
the negro Denmark, my great grand
fathers body servant. He was brought
to America from Guinea, in his boy
hood and sold into slavery. Reming-
ton Hobby, one of the pioneers of Vas
salboro became his final owner. Mt.
Hobby afterward became a Friend and
later a Friend minister. Not feeling
it right to hold a slave, he gave Den
mark his freedom and settled him IN
a little negro colony in China, Me. he
soon became discontinued and came
back claiming that the other negroes
stole all his things. He outlived Rem
ington Hobby, and my grandfather,
John Hobby. provided for him until
his death About a year before Den
mark died. John Hobby gave his bro
ther-in-law. Stephen Jenkins of Chi
ma, a yoke of oxen in return for WHICH
he agreed to care for Denmark the rest
of his days.
In the burying ground of the little
Friends church on The Neck in
China stone. suitably inscribed
marks the last resting place of this
one time slave. | have the impression
that the stone was placed there by f.
II. Jenkins of Augusta, grandson OF
Stephen Jenkins of China. and great
grandson OF Remington Hobby. Lydia
Bailey an aged Friend, one of my
neighbors. says she remembers the ne
gre well, and that he lived many years

False Economy.

Another attempt is being made to
the one at Washington. The argument
advanced is that the change is in line
with the policy of economy which is
being so rigidly enforced at the pres
ent time. This is not a new PROPOSE
ton by any means. 1t has been sug-
gested at nearly every session of Con-
gress during the rast 10 years. 1t has
generally appeared in the House and
peen killed in the Senate. Senators
Hale and Lodge took a leading part
in the fight for retaining the agencies
in the spring of 1908: in fact the New
orally realized the wisdom of making
it as convenient as possible for pen
sioners to receive their money.
The veterans who fought for the
country in '61-'65 are entitled to every
consideration and accommodation in
the distribution of the scant return
this nation is now able to make to
them for their sacrifices at that time.
To abolish the II pension agencies and
concentrate the work at Washington
would not effect economy, but would,
on the other hand, work q genuine
hardship on the veterans and would
so congest business in the Washington
office that pensioners in remote dis
tricts would be seriously embarrassed.
The amount of money which will be
paid 10 the soldiers this year is esti-
mated to be S., 900, or approximate
| ~ 3 per cert. less than last year. Now,
with a reduction in the amount OF
money to he distributed Of but per
cent. it is proposed to wipe out about
95 per cent of the machinery for dis
| tributing it, That might be all right
| if the agencies didn't have anything
| to do. but as a matter 81 fact all the
| agencies are needed if the veterans are
10 be properly served. 1t is doubtful
| if the administration will countenance
such short sighted economy, once the
| nroposal TO do so is brought into
| prominence.

fortunately. often fixed by the cost of
power generated by steam in the dis
trict where the electric power is to be
sold He takes as an example an eX-
IRENE case saying that the rental of the
water power at $25 year for a horse
mower will furnish satisfactory mar
gin of nrofit while it costs $1O0 to
generate a horsepower by steam. He
saws that instead of fixing the electric
mower at S25 it is very likely to be
fixed nearer 500, Slightly less of
course in order to get the business)
and control the market. He grants
that this is obviously an extreme case
and that the margin between the cost
of the two kinds of power is not usual
Nv so wide. The statement does how
ever. illustrate a common practice"
he says.
The point he makes from this stu
alton is, that if manufacturer in
looking over the ground, finds that
under the laws of France or Switzer
land he can obtain his power at the
$25 rate or its equivalent he is not
going to locate in part of the Unit
ed States where it is only worth the
$25 rate, but where, by reason of the
differential on steam power, it is
raised nearly to the limit at which
steam power can be produced. He
says that industrial progress in the
United States will be retarded by
this state of affairs. He believes that
the question of the productive leader
ship of this country is at stake.
