SABETHA, KAs., Jan. 22.-ln'
junction-proof municipal heat
that's what Sabetha folk enjoyed
during the recent cold spell.
Steam heat, too, that came crack

weak pressure, no meters, nc

ceedings-just plain heat, steam
heat and plenty of it.
Socialism is a word that isn't
heard in Sabetha nor is Jeremy
Il Bentham, who laid down the
!; principle, the greatest good tc
4 the greatest number" considered
l. a live issue in the town. Yet
:, when Sabetha finds that it is in
u need of anything Sabetha goe:
+. ahead and gets it without bother
ing much about what name to
call it by. A mass meeting,
vote, a committee appointed and
; the thing is in the way of being
accomplished. That is the way
Sabetha got a municipal light
! ing plant, municipal water, q
public playground, an independ'
eut telephone system, sewer and
now municipal heat.
Ten years ago when Sabetha
proposed to vote bonds for ar
electric light plant some said II
was unconstitutional. There are
still some who hold that any
proposition that increases taxes
is illegal, but they are not strong
on voting days, and so the light
ing proposition was carried, and
$4,000 was spent on the plant
Since then $4,000 more has been
spent on it, the bonds have been
paid off, and the service extern
ded to Morrill,, seven miles away.
One improvement begets an
other. The light plant had
plenty of power, SO a year and a
half ago the town decided to use
some of it to pump waterup out
of the ground. Again bonds
were voted, wells were sunk,
reservoir built, and now the town
has ten miles of water mains and
a plant that can pump 1-4million
gallons a day. The system cost
$4,000, and the town is making
money with it-pumping water
at a cost of three and one-hali
cents a thousand gallons and
selling it at thirty cents-besides
having fire protection.
But George E. johnson, the
city engineer, decided last sum
Baxter Springs news. [volume] (Baxter Springs, Kan.) 1882-1919, 1912-02-01

which ticket can tag the most
desirable candidates first.
For instance, at the next cleo
ton DR.. Samuel Murdoch and
Capt. Louis Miller will be candi-
dates for mayor, but when Doc
tor Murdoch was asked today
which ticket he was on he could
mt remember.
The truth is the people of Sa-
betha don't leave very much for
a mayor and council to do. They
have to have them for certain
purposes, of course-to register
bonds, for instance, so they will
be all regular and legal-but
when it comes to starting any
thing the people usually start it
themselves and finish it, too.
A couple of years ago the town
fell out with the Bell Telephone
Company and a mass meeting
was called. The town is strong
for mass meetings and does most
of its business that way, but
there isn't thing in the world
to prevent the mayor and council
attending one Of them and find
ing out, along with the rest of
the citizens, what is going to be
done. This particular mass meet
ing appointed a committee to
wait on the telephone officials
and tell them what the town
wanted. The telephone officials
showed disposition to trifle and
daily, whereupon the committee
went home and called ano her
mass meeting.
The next day every user of a
Bell telephone took a neat little
paper bag and tied it over tie
receiver of his instrument and
put his name down as subscrib-
er to the stockof an independent
company. In three months $50
900 was raised, the Mutual Tele-
phone Company began to string
wires and today it is formida-
BILE competitor of the Bell in
Nemaha County.
Although Sabetha has got
pretty much of all outdoors to
grow in the citizens decided
awhile back-in mass meeting,
of course-that provisions should
be made for a public playground
for the young Sabethans of an
other generation. The present
generation has a large park in
the center of town, not to mem
ton the ample schoolhouse
grounds and the acre back yards
to which home owners largely
run, but Sabetha has an eye to
the future as we'll as on the pres
emit. So the town bought a play
ground, a large rolling tract a
little way out, just as a precau-
ton against overcrowding in the
years to come. 1t isn't needed
now and is chiefly used to Craze
cattle on, but it gives the town
comfortable feeling to know
that it is there and that it will
be of use sometime.
What will Sabetha do next?
Sabetha doesn't know, but if it
is something in the way of a
public utility the town is deter
mined it shall be municipal, nom
partisan, without strings and
embody the principle of the
greatest good to the greatest
number. And if that be Social
ism Sabetha is willing the knock
ers should make the most OF it.

mer that the plant wasn't doing
all the work it could be made to
do. Making light and pumping
water exhausted a good deal Of
steam that the people of Sabetha
weren't getting any benefit from.
This steam was wasted-was
shot off into the air without
bringing any birds down. So
Mr.. Johnson proposed to lay
steam pipes in the street and use
this waste steam for heat.
Of course, some said it could
not be done, and when Mr.. John
son convinced them that it could
they said it would be too expen-
sive and that the power required
to force the steam through the
mains would cost more than the
revenue derived.
At first, those arguments
seemed good. When bids were
asked for laying the mains the
lowest was SO, 500. Sabetha de-
cided that it was too much
money, but it didn't give up the
idea. Instead the town took the
job over, bought some picks and
shovels and asked for volunteers.
And the volunteers who respon-
ded we're the boys of the Sabetha
High School. They dug the
mains and laid the pipes and the
job cost the town $4,000, all of
which was kept at home.
Then the city engineer set
himself to devising a method OF
putting the steam into the
houses without developing more
power and he succeeded. The
steam is sent through the pipes
at one pound preSsure-the ex-
haust pressure at which it for
merly was shot off into the air
and when it condenses in the
radiators the water is pulled
back into the boilers by means
of a vacuum pump, and there
again made into steam. Less
than 2 per cent of steam is vast
ed in the process.
Having gone in for this kind
of Socialism or paternalism or
Benthamite theory, or whatever
one likes to call it, Sabetha made
complete job of it, 1t went in
to the market and bought a stock
of radiators and sold them to
residents at cost. When the cold
snap struck Sabetha seven blocks
of steam pipes had been laid and
forty connections made, and as
soon as the frost is out of the
ground the high school brigade
will begin again with pick and
shovel to extend the service, for
Sabetha is convinced now that
municipal heat is as feasible as
municipal light and water.
The income to the town from
what was waste steam will be
not less than $4,000 this year
two years will pay for the orig
inal cost and then the rate will
be reduced. The rate charged
this winter is twenty-five cents a
square foot of radiation, and
users say that is about IS per
cent of the cost of heating with
stoves. Nor will the extension
of the mains add to the cost, for

LITHIA TABLETS.

The changing views of the medical faculty
as the result of scientific Investigation are we'll
illustrated by the history Of the use of lithia
in medicine. A good many years ago a pro-
minent physician in England made a series
Of careful experiments on selected young
men in perfect health, and demonstrated
that by the use of lithia the elimination of
uric acid was greatly promoted. The expert
ments seemed conclusive, and at once the
physicians of Great Britain began prescrib-
ing lithia for govt and rheumatism, and as
soon as the publication OF the experiments got
into the medical journals Of France and Ger
many the use of this Ubstance became prac-
tically universal. But DR.. Emil Pfeiffer, q
prominent physician at Wiesbaden, discover
ed, to his surprise, that the expected result
did not materialize when he gave lithia to
the many patients who had come to that city
for the waters and for treatment. Not I'M
derstanding why this was the case, he re-
peated the English experiments, but, instead
of taking carefully selected subjects in per-
feet health, he chose q number from among
his patients who were suffering from the uric
acid diseases, 10 his surprise, he discover
, 1912-03-09

ed that the results obtained in England we're
absolutely reversed at Wiesbaden; that lithia
actually retarded the elimination of uric acid
in equity patients, and that it's use to this
extent was harmful rather than beneficial.
After controlling his results in the careful
German way, he published his conclusions.
At once the medical faculty of Germany be,
gan to give up the prescription of lithia.
The doctors of France followed, and after
the translation Of Dr.. Pfeiffer's paper into
English the more progressive and younger
doctors Of America and England gave it up,
antil its use in medicine has practically ceas-
ed. AS a consequence, the wholesale, price of
lithium carbonate has fallen within the last
few years from about two dollars to about
siXty-ive cents an ounce, and were it not for
some new uses for this element which have
been recently discovered it would probably
disappear from the drug-stores and sooner Or
later from the pharmacopmia.-IH O7tt1ook.

WEST INDIAN COTTON.

Messrs. Wolstenholme and Holland, of
Liverpool, write as follows, under date Jan
uary 16, With reference to the sales of West
Indian Sea Island cotton
Since our last report, about $50 bales of
West Indian Sea Island cotton have been
sold, and prices remain very firm.
The sales are chiefly composed of Mont
serrat cotton at $50. to 19d, with a few
from other islands at similar pricos. About
10 bales St. Vincent were sold at 21d.
A similar report dated January 80, is as
follows
Since our last report about 100 bales of
West Indian Sea Island cotton have been
sold, chiefly Montserrat, on the basis of $50
for sound quality.
The market remains firm, and good quail
ties command firm prices.
The report of Messrs. Henry ". Frost
& Co., on Sea Island cotton in the Southern,
States, for the week ending january 20, is
as follows
There has been a good demand during
the week for such odd bags of Bright Fine,
up to Extra Fine to be had at from &c. to,
32c, and also for all the small offerings of
off cotton, for which factors have been able
to get 1c. to &c. advance over previous pri-.
prices, Consequently factors are frmer in
their prices for all grades. The planters
crop lots continue to be neglected. AL
though nonsinally held at full prices, factors.
would be willing to make concessions to
effect sales. The old crop cotton is still be-
ing held off the market, in expectation of
higher prices later.
