Paper for One Issue.

A special shipment of paper for The
Herald, coming in by express Saturday
morning at 7:30 o'clock, was not al
lowed to stop in transit one minute by
the Wells-Fargo company. Before the
wheels OF the train had come 10 full
stop, the paper was thrown onto a wait
ing truck and carried through the ex-
press office at double time and placed
on a waiting express wagon, which
began moving just as the paper was
rolled aboard.
At $40 o'clock, the paper was in the
basement of The Herald office, ready
for the grinding presses J. E. Elliott,
agent of the express company, pulled
off the sketch. which he modestly calls,
good work"
1t was necessary for The Herald 10

The Herald had to be set out at San
Antonio for repairs and while the re-
pairs were being made, The Herald ran
out of paper. The railroad company
asserted its ability to get the car here
by Monday, but The Herald had only
half enough paper for printing Satur-
DAYS edition-enough to print a l6
page paper, but the issue was 50 pages

can be made serviceable and when put
into service it will reduce the total
pumping cost on the mesa from approx
imately cents per 1000 gallons to be-
tween 8 - cents and cents per 1000
gallons: and II was for that reason that
the master has included the shaft well
and it's equipment in the valuation of
the properties of the company.
What kiersted Said.
Mr. Kiersted ctr. 1927 says: What [
have stated as the cost of producing
water service-9.7 cents per 1000 gal
lons-Is the cost under existing condi-
tions: when the new equipment IS put
in, that cost viii be reduced some,' and
by putting a tunnel, which has been
proposed here, out from the present
shaft and connecting the wells into this
tunnel, lifting the water out of the
ground and into the tunnel and into the
shaft by air lift and then lifting it
out of the shaft by more economical and
more efficient pumping than the air lift
method, then the cost might be re-
duced." TT. 445).
Believing that economy. but not at
the expense of efficiency, should be ex-
ercised by all public utilities, the mas
ter is of the opinion that the amount
recommended for rate making is suffi-
ciently large, and should not be in
creased

PULLED OFF QUEER PLAY.
Ty Cobb Figured In Funny Stunt
AGAINST Doves Recently.

Playing with the Augusta (Ga) team
against the Boston Nationals recently,
Ty Cobb figured In one Of the most
remarkable plays recorded in the an
mails of baseball
Moran of Boston drove a long, low
fiy between center and left field. Coles
of Augusta started for it, and Ty
Cobb started also. The ball hit Oil
Cobb's outstretched finger tips and
bounded into the air.
Cobb stumbled and nearly fell. but
Coles drove forward and knocked the
ball into the air with his gloved hand
as 1t fell again. and Cobb, making an
other reach for the ball, failed to
clutch it securely. Coles again came
to the rescue with a dive toward the
ground. and he, too, failed to hold the
ball a second time.
Cobb threw himself at full length as
the ball Topped toward the earth
again, and this time caught and held
it with his bare hand three inches
from the ground The entire perform
ance occupied nearly a full minute.

to the eye This knowledge has led
: TO the perfection of a system Of fndi-
rect light, where a room may be made
as light as the day itself without a sin
gle lamp being visible Many railroad
stations. banks. and other commercial
institutions have adopted this form of
/ lighting, and hundreds of private homes
homes are now equipped with It.
The Hy-lo- Globe.
One of the newest things in the cleo
trio light world is what is known as
the turn down electric light. This is
an apparatus attached to the ordinary
bulb wherebyOne may have his lamp
burn as dTmly as he desires When one
looks over the vast number Of new
designs and styles of lamps L becomes
evident to him that many an artist has
devoted himself TO the production OF
electric fixtures
The use Of the incandescent lamp in
advertising is growing every day. One
Of the most unique and attractive ideas
of the application of electric current
10 advertising purposes is that to be
seen at popular lake resort at Cleve-
land, o. IT shows a diving girl stand
ing on platform far above the water.
Above her is the legend, Come in, the
waters fine" While the behOlder looks
at the sign the diver suddenly disap-
pears Immediately she reappears be-
T..
power of suggestion in this unique sign
is strong, and it is said that the Wis
TORS TO the resort go in bathing even
when the water is cold.
Gas Demand Increased.
When the incandescent lamp was
made a commercial reality by the ge-
MUS of Thomas A. Edison the whole
world thought that it ended the reign
of gas. Immediately gas stock de-
cl1ned everywhere, but II was soon
found that the more demand there was
for electricity the more there was for
gas. It was also found that every I'm
provement in electric lighting brough<
a corresponding Improvement In gas
lighting. The incandescent electric lamp
was followed by the incandescent gas
mantle anu in this way gas lighting
and gas fixtures have kept the pace
set by electricity
Candle Sale Good.
One would think that the eonstnatIy
expanding use of gas, electricity and
petroleum in this county would lead to
a falling off in the sale Of candles, but
this is not true On the countrary.
the candle making industry is grow
ing at the rate OF about 10 percent a
year. Many Of these candles are used
for religious celebrations The Stand
ard Oil company, which never oyerlooks
an opportunity to make a profit in the
field of Illumination. is the 7r0<fezs<
principal producer of candles. Amer-<
ica's production now amounts to about
