TWO WOMEN SUPPORT JUNIOR
REPUBLIC, SAYS WILBUR
Judge of Juvenile Court Lectures
at the Y. M. C. A.

Curtis D. Wilbur, judge of the Los Angeles
juvenile court, spoke in the Y. NJ. c. A.
auditorium last evening, his subject being
''The George Junior Republic" The California
George Junior Republic is located near San
Fernando, and is a place where boys are
shown the right path in life. Judge Wilbur 8
purpose in speaking last evening was to
stimulate interest in the republic. He said
in part:
Life is but a great school where we all
must learn the lessons by hard knocks. A
republic is where prepare the boys and
girls whom 1t would be wrong to send to
reform schools to go out into the world and
be law abiding. Getting right down to facts,
It is a government of the boys and girls, by
the boys and girls, for the boys and girls,
and though l am loath to say it, the Call
fornia George Junior Republic is existing
through the generosity of only two women"
The late cold spell has put the old
est settler on the shelf He owns up
that he never saw anything like it,

I CENT ELECTRICITY
IS FAVORED PRICE
Council Proposes to Fix Lower
Rates for Electricity in
Los Angeles
CORPORATIONS PROTEST CUT
Public Utilities Report Says Com
panieS Are Allowed Fair
Profit with Decrease

Electric lights at cents a kilowatt
hour instead of 9 cents, and a minimum
charge Of rs cents instead of 81 for
small quantities probably will be the
rate the Los Angeles public will have
to pay after July 1. The council yes
terday expressed it's Intention of fix
ing such rates for electric light, and
at 8 o'clock this morning the public
service corporations that supply Juice
will appear before the council and
try to convince that body that the
rates should not be reduced so low.
The board of public utilities yester-
day recommended to the council the
7-cent rate, but it recommended min
imum charge of 81 for fourteen kilo-
watt hours instead of eleven kilowatt
hours, as is now the case.
The lighting corporations intend to
make hard fight to prevent such a re-
duction. H. H. Trowbridge, attorney
for the Southern California Edison
company, told the council yesterday
that while his client had not had time
to figure out the exact loss that would
result by reducing the rate to cents,
It had approximated that the 7-cent
rate would reduce its revenue nearly
100000 a year. H. M. Stephens. rep
resenting the Pacific light and Power
Los Angeles Gas and Electric COM
pany, made similar statements. All
| three attorneys pleaded for at least a
week in which to prepare their answer
to the report of the board of public
utilities, but City Attorney Hewitt told
the council that the ordinance fixing
rates should be passed in time to allow
thirty days before July 1 for the ordt-
nance to become effective.
! In submitting it's report the board
made the following statement:
Although there are differences IN
the proportions of the several
classes of consumers supplied and
in the relative distribution costs,
there is nothing in the situation
which demands or justifies differ
entail rates to different companies.
The board, after careful consider
alton and consultation with its en-
gineers, is satisfied that the present
base rate of cents per klloWatt
hour for commercial and domestic
supply is more than adequate to
Weld ample returns on the neces-
| sarv investment in plant, and we
therefore recommend the reduction
of said base rate to cents per kllo-
watt hour, according to the follow
ing schedule of rates:
Minimum rate per month for
fourteen kiIowatt hours or less, 81;
for fifteen or more kilowatt hours,
to and including all of first 250 kilo--
watt hours, cents per kilowatt
hour, consumed in one month;
next $50 kilowatt hours, &c per kilo-
watt hour, consumed in one month;
next 500 kilowatt hours, SC per k1lo-
watt hour. consumed in one month;
next 100 kilowatt hours. 4c per kilo-
watt hour, consumed in one month:
and for all excess over the first 1000
kilowatt hours, as aforesaid, &c per
kilowatt hour.

the work would be expedited so far
as possible.
Mr.. Scott said that the Los Angeles
chamber of commerce Is especially in
terested in the work. because the con-
tiition OF the highway project here has
it's influence on other counties. and
therefore on highway development all
through Southern California.
"The city of Los Angeles" said Mr..
Scott. twas the pioneer in this work,
for Los Angeles obtained the enact
ment of the highway law and was the
first city to vote bonds under it. Ma
turally other cities are watching us to
see what will be the outcome of our
efforts, and so long as there are ru-
mors of bad conditions in this county,
other counties will hold back"

formed along each side of the long
concrete walk which leads from the
station to the old chapel building,
and Through this line the Missis-
slsslppa legislature, the faculty I'D
visitors walked to the old chapel.
from which point of vantage they
viewed an exhibition drill of the
entire student body.
1t was an inspiring sight. es-
peclally to those legislators who
had for the first time visited the
college, to see those 800 young
men in their attractive grey uni
form with guns, bayonets and
swords. AS one senator remarked:
With that body of young men
lies the future of Mississippi.
Among them are future statesmen,
Napoleons of finance, bishops,
journalists and literary lights,
Jurists, scientists, physicians. ag-
riculturists and others who will
make history for our common
wealth."

The members Of Rldgley lodge,
No. 23, l. O. O. F., appreciating,
the fact that their cemetery is not
kept up to the standard that onght
to apply to that>sacred spot, have
| ipaugerated a plan which will. if
supported by the square owners,
result in marked improvement in
its condition, and the trustees in
charge of the cemetery ask the sup
port of the people of this CITY and
square owuers generally in carrying
their plan for it's improvement into
effect. They have employed an ex-
perienced and competent sexton
and placed him in charge and it is
their intention to keep the squares,
the roads and the walks in the best
of condition. To do this it will
require all of the revenues which
are derived from the cemetery and
they hope that every square owner
will contribute the small amount
charged for keeping the squares i'll
first class condition. 10 do this
charge of $500 a year will be i'm
posed, and in consideration of this
sum they guarantee to keep the
squares in condition all the year.
If this plan is generally supported
the cemetery will be made a place
Of beauty and there will be no
cause of complaint from the own
ers OF squares or the public. Mr..
VIM Ward is the secretary of the
board and fees for caring for The
squares can be paid to him, the
whole ammount being collectable
in ADVANCE. In this good work the
Odd Fellows ought to have the
support of the people generally and
they respectfully ask the same.

laid about the Baard of Supervi-
sors on last Monday, Townspeo-

peared to present their respective
views with reference to this pros
pective road. Individual and or
ganic help was promised and prof
fered, tongues were unlimbered and
enthusiasm burned brightly and
the Honorable Board agreed,
through q majority. at least, that
If legal warrant could be found for
such action thecounty would ap-
'propriate two thousand dollers

terprise.
However, the ardor was some
what cooled by a slash from an ell
derly, yet hustling farmer, who
didn't seem to lose sight of the ru-
raj needs in the moment of inter-
urban supremacy, and riz to say;
Gentlemen, if such there be
here, let us not grow frantic over
this parlor scheme, as it were, but
turn our attention somewhat to the
dining room and kitchen, SO to

stance in riotous road building for
