have been wearing our summer clothes
with the weather warm and balmy.
But they are entitled TO IL as / am
told they have had the hottest summer
ever known; no corn for the cattle, so
meat is scarce and much of it poor.
Vegetables and fruits also have not
matured up TO their best. ana careful
planning of meals with a knowledge
OF foods and food values is absolutely
essential with such scarcity OF foods.
But with all this / have never eaten
more delicious, well-cooked meals or
been in cleaner meat markets and
grocery stores in my life. ! find Kan
sas laws are very rigid along the lines

Borough Officials Rule That All Poles Must Carry Electric Lighting Wires at the Top-Base Blocks for Sol- ders Monument Arrive.

The regular monthly meeting of the board of warden and burgesses was held Monday even 1ing. The reports of the clerk were accepted as read The change in the contract with the South ern New England Telephone company was voted as requested by the tele phone company. agreeable with the recommendation of the public utilities commission of the state of Connecti- cut. In accordance with the above ac ton all poles now carrying both cleo tric lighting wires and telephone wires must have the electric wires on the top of the pole. It is pointed out by the commission that the lighter wires. being more liable to break than the heavy high tension electric wire, should be at the bottom. If they do break, they fall harmless to the street, whereas. if they are carried on top, as at present, if a break occurs. they unavoidably foul the electric wires and fall to the street charged with the heavy 2.200 volts carried by wires with which they have come in contact, It is further shown that with the telephone wires underneath all re- pairs and changes by the telephone company can be made without fear of injury from the high tension wires several feet above.
