PARTY-LINERS
AND THE GOLDEN RULE

Party line telephone subscriber virtually are
co-tenants They jointly pay for single tele-
phone line
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1912-03-01

If they were co-tenants of a building they
would be careful not to infringe upon the rights of
others. That same regard for the equities
should keep them from infringing by appropriating
to themselves more telephone service than can be
exacted their fair share of the capacity of that
line.
Lengthy conversations on unimportant mat
ters, the prattlng intercourse of children, phono-
graph concerts, and the ike-these sometimes con-
gest party lines and give cause for protest from
other tenants in common
Ordinary regard for the principle of the Gold
en- Rule will do more to avert party line difficulties
than all the rules any telephone company NAV
promulgate.

18TH ILLINOIS IN
lTSLAST MEETING

Notices to the members Of the Sew
enteenth Illinois regiment of the Grand
Army of the Republic have been
sent out from this city, call
ing attention to the annual re-
union of the veterans which
is to be held this year at Peoria next
Thursday A pathetic feature is that
at the end of the announcement is
written the single but significant word
fms" II testifes TO the thinning
which has occurred in the ranks Of
the noble boys in blue who went at
the call of Abraham Lincoln to fight
to prevent disruption of the country
which our forefathers gave their lives
70 free. The advance of the years
has been more than even the gallant
soldiers could repulse and while they
will not admit defeat yet, still they
are forced to give up their annual Sc
union because of the nervous strain
II involves.

talk COMMISSION
FOR WATERW WORKS
Subject That Has Been Often
Discussed Is Again Being
Agitated.
PLANT is WORTH ST, 900, 900
Past Mayors Have Urged Independent
Board and Present Body Should
Not Object to 1t,

There has been more or less dis
cussion and agitation in Rock Island
for years of the proposition to take
the waterworks entirely out of poll
tics and place it in the hands of an
independent commission such as now
controls the park system and the pub
lie library. 1t is argued that the wa
terworks plant of the city of Rock Is
land now valued at 81, 100000 should
be run absolutely on business prin-
ciples and under some lasting provi-
sion placing beyond the possibility
of having its management changed ev-
cry time a new administration comes
into power.
Some years ago the people on a
referendum vote determined to
authorize the city council to sell the
system to a private corporation, but
fortunately the city council then in
power failed to acquiesce in the idea
and the plant still remains the prop
erty of the city. In more recent
years the plan of creating a water
works board has been discussed and
two mayors, Schafer and McCaskrin,
urged the creation of such board in
messages to the city council. But moth
ing has ever come of the idea.
INCREASING IN VALUE.
Meanwhile the plant has been
growing in value. The new filter
plant pronounced by experts one of
the best in the country and pointed
to by many as a model, now in sue
cessful operation, is one of the most
valuable adjuncts to the system. 1t
| is presumably on account of the grow
! ing Importance of the waterworks
system that every little while the agi-
/ tation for an Independent waterworks
| board, made of men picked for their
| fitness and placed in absolute charge
of the system and controlled by the
municipal body only in so far as the
appropriations for its improvement
and maintenance are concerned
breaks out anew.
INVOLVES NO REFLECTION.
The discussion of such a project in.
wolves 10 reflection on the municipal
commission or disparagement of it
effects in the premises. In fact, it /.
believed the present municipal body
under the commission plan, would be
glad of the opportunity of Kidding itself
of responsibilities of the direction Of
the waterworks system, taking it out o
its hands entirely and placing it il
! a senarate commission a sort of sci
entific board, where it would be alb
solutely independent of influences o
any kind, political or otherwise.
At any event there is much dis
cussion of the subject and it would
not be surprising if the commission
at an early date had the subject be
fore it.

BIG SPRINKLER CAR
BLOCKADES q LINES

The power sprinkler of the Tri-
City Railway company effectually
blockaded four street car lines for
half an hour this morning shortly be-
fore o'clock. There seemed to be a
difference of opinion between the
front and the rear trucks as to the
course they should follow. When the
car arrived at Third avenue and
Twentieth street, the front trucks
went on north toward the river while
the rear trucks struck out for Dav-
export via the bridge. Before the
motorman discovered the separation
of courses, the front trucks had
yanked the rear ones clear of both
tracks. A dozen street car men and
hundred spectators alternately
worked and gave their advice for half
an hour before the difference between
the two sets of trucks was amicably
adjusted. The front trucks gained
their point and the sprinkler kept on
the main line. The hind trucks sui
lenly followed, beaten TO a fragile. ."

MOVE TO DISMISS
CASE SET ASIDE
Magistrate G. j. Smith Refuses
to Hear States Attorneys
Motion.
CHANGE OF VENUE TAKEN
Charges Against Florence Corners
and Ed Patton Now Before
Justice G. p. Nissen.

Change of venue was taken by Mrs.
Florence Corners and Ed Patton from
the court of Magistrate Smith to the
court of Justice G. P. Nissen, but be-
cause of the latter's absence from his
court this morning, the hearing. was
continued till o'clock this afternoon
The charges against the prisoners con-
Germ criminal relations Assistant
States Attorney P. R. Ingelson, act
ing under instructions from States At
torney L. NJ. Magill, moved to have the
Corners case dismissed in police court,
but because Of the circumstances sur
rounding the case, Magistrate Smith
demanded that hearing be held first.
! Thereupon a change of venue was TAX
en-. The same motion will be made be-
fore Justice Nissen. Should the case
against her be dropped, that against
Patton will end in the same summary
way
CLAIM BIRTH OF CHILD.
1t is the allegation of police authori-
ties that a child was born to Mrs.
Corners several weeks ago, a short
time previous to the arrests. No GER
| tificate of death is on record to show
for the burial of any child. The ply.
stefan in the case states that there
was no birth. Mrs. Corners husband
resides in California.

ing. This makes a good and cheap
morning feed for cold weather. 1t
should be seasoned a little Just as
though you were going to eat it your
self. Scraps of meat or trimmings
from steaks may be added to the mess.
Where the farmer raises beans, peas,
sorghum, etc, they may be cooked for
chickens with success. In some of our
cities where there are large bakeries
one can get a number of kinds Of offal
that makes the finest feed in the world,
such as stale or overdone bread, crack
ers and cakes Such stuff makes fine
feed for the young chicks. The hotels
and boarding houses are sources of
food supply for chickens. Foreigners
coming into this country claim that
Americans waste almost as much as
they use. In these times of high prices
let US look in upon ourselves and see if
we can stop lot of the leaks. At least
try to turn the waste products into ac-
count 1t is not only the city dweller
that is Wasteful, but the farmer leaves
many nook and corner vacant that
could produce good chicken food al
least. These corners could be broken
up and planted to sunAoWerS that
would make a very much relished
chicken food when ripe. In fact, they
make a very ornamental back yard set
ting for the city lot. 1t is good plan
to have a chicken note book in which
to make memorandum of plans to be
carried out. Take a diary, for exam
pie. and in the space for April make a
note of planting suntlOwers, sugar beets
for the chickens and so on. In thai
way you can keep up with the times
