Removal and disposal of garbage
and household refuse Is linked with
The public health to such a vital de-
gree that no longer should there be
a quibble over ways and means whiie
the social need is swift and perma-
nent relief.
Clarksburg is permanent, SO let us
have something the public can de-
pend upon. The municipality has
broadened and stretched itself so
that no longer is the present gar
bage incinerating plant an outpost,
but is somewhat central. With this
growth the means of removing gar
bage. from homes has become obso-
lete. 1t is no longer. dependable, nor
is 1t absolute, which is necessary for
comfort.
Inspection adds but little to an
ordinance. Facility must be pro-
vided If we wish to have no offend-
ers to our city. And this also ap-
plies to any department of govern
ment. So long as we permit our cit
Izens to be the prey OF careless and
irresponsible persons and a haphaz-
ard method, so long will the cues
.tlon. remaiT unsettled and the condi-
ton it creates be menace to social
life.
1t is without the pale OF reason to
suggest that I'VE should turn our sew
erage system over to the pilfertng
hands of a private. monopoly. Divi-
dends upon the invested capital
would rival those of the. Standard
Oil Company, and the service would
be doubtful, il not miserable. Both
the sewerage and garbage questions
are much alike, because of their con-
nection with social comfort and
health.
We should not turn the garbage
removal business over to private
concern, for the reason that pub
lie monopoly economically conducted
is blessing, but few private mo-
nopolies can boast of anything but
the high cost of their service and the
excellence of the dividends.
1t has been suggested that twenty
five cents be charged for weekly col
lections of accumulated garbage
This service would cost each family
$1s per year, and the city OF
clarksburg with about 1000 homes
would pay about $4,000 for this
service.
If the system We're properly organ
lied. with weekly collections at
stated periods, and the municipality
provided the means at stated peri
DDS, and the municipality provided
tho means for removal in covered
wagons in charge of disciplined and
competent persons, the work would
be properly performed and the econ
omy practiced would be worthy OF
city with the growing prospects OF
Clarksburg. The system should be
made part of the department OF
sewerage. The tax could be placed
directly upon the family, the same
las the water service, and the collec-
ton made at the same time. TINS
should have the effect of reducing
the cost to each family to 50. So, s 4
and So per year. In this manner 1T
would not operate as tax upon
property, but upon the people,
gagged by the number OF persons IN
a family.
Let us have more service and less
special privilege; let US run public
affairs Tor use and not for profit; let
us have social ownership of public
utilities. Let the people rule!

Big CROPS PREDICTED
Speaker Says Conditions Are Ideal
for Planters to Profit.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
st. Martinville.-Jules Dreyfus Of
New iberia, speaking to the farmers
and citizens of this town on the pros
poets of the rice industry in this par
ish, said that the rice crop for the
coming three years is going to be the
most profitable investments in the
state of Louisiana. The land Of the
Teche country subject to irrigation of
Teche waters produces one of the best
types of rice in the United States, due
to the temperature of the Teche
stream and to the alluvial land of this
country. 1t will take three years
with normal increase Of rice consump-
tion per year to create a speculative
surplus of rough rice to depress the
Price of this product The price Of
rough rice is 81 to s4.21 per barrel.
which means IS per sack to the plant
er. The minimum crop raised per
acre on these Teche lands under the
most unfavorable circumstances is
ten sacks per acre, which means $50
per acre transferred into money, rep
resenting a prospective profit Of at
least $25 per acre.

London, Eng.-The Servian gov
eminent decided to withdraw from
the Adriatic sea. This action is re-
garded in all quarters as a notable
step in the direction of peace.
A Sofia dispatch gives reports from
Adrianople, saying the rations in the
invested town have been reduced to
one-fourth. Eighty thousand persons
are sick, without medical aid or the
means of obtaining warmth.
Turkish and Bulgarian delegates
met to discuss terms of capitulation.
The Turks demanded that they be al
lowed to retain their arms, the Bull
garians refused to grant this.
Some difficulties are being met
with at the ambassadorial conference
in London, and the question Of the
frontiers of Albania has been aban-
doned for the moment, as it has been
found impossible to reconcile the de-
sires of Austria for an extended AL
bania and accept 1ae sug gestions Of
Russia for narrowing the boundaries
of the new state.
The ambassadors examined a long
detailed memorandum presented by
the Greek premier, NJ. Venizelos, in
which he enumerated all the racial,
historical, geographical and cultural
reasons in favor of the annexation of
the Aegean islands to Greece.

s10,000,000 Loss IN FRUIT
CALIFORNIA HAS THE COOLEST

Half of Citrus Crop Is Gone-Temper-
ature Goes as Low as 17-Car-
rers Also Suffer.

Los Angeles, Cal.-Temperatures
from 4 to degrees lower than
ever before were recorded, blasting
the hopes of orange and lemon grow
ers. Estimates of citrus fruit losses
ran from $40 O,OOO, 900 to $50, 100000 and
railroad freight losses, figured in
terms of shipment, were approximate
ed in the statement of shippers that
the 1913 crop of oranges and lemons
would be from 10000 to 10000 car
loads short. Southern California has
had the coldest weather in 40 years.
Last years crop netted growers
s35, 100000. Eleven millions went to
the railroads in freight and refrigera-
tor charges. At the beginning of the
season this years crop value was es-
timated at $4,000, 900, and. according
to heads of various fruit associal. ons
and firms. the damage done by the
two days freeze will amount to per-
haps half of theentire crop.
Actual losses to both growers and
railroads, however, will be dependent
to a certain extent upon the attitude
of the government toward the ship
ment of slightly damaged fruit.

.PATTEN MUST STAND TRIAL
cORNERING COTTON MARKET is
HELD TO 6E ILLEGAL.
Supreme Court of United States De-
cides He and Assoc cIates Violated
Antitrust Law in 1910.

Washington, d. C.-"COrnering the
market" in commodities is Illegal un-
der the Sherman antitrust law, ac-
cOrding to a decision of the supreme
court of the United States, which held
James A. Patten and his associates
for trial in the New York federal
courts for an alleged "cornering' OF
the cotton market in 1910.
Patten is the Chicago operator
whose manipulations in the wheat pit
were a spectacular feature of the
grain markets on numerous occasions.
Justice Vandevanter dellvc led the
courts opinion.
Patten and his associates were in
dicted in New York. The circuit court
for the Southern district OF New York
| quashed the indictment, declaring pri-
vate ownership of large quantities of
cotton did not create monopoly, and
/ that the cotton operators are not
chargeable with any attempt TO re-
strain interstate commerce.
| In effect, Patten and his associates
pleaded "cornering" of any product is
! not prohibited by the Sherman anti
trust law. They argued that a corner
| is not a complete restraint of trade,
| and only a commercial incident Of
trade.
1t was contended that participants
in a corner were not "conspirators" TO
restrain trade, and that the govern
ment's charge was too remote and in
direct. Those indicted with Patten
were Eugene Scales, Frank B. Hayne
and w. p. Brown.
THE contracts of the defendants,
the court declares, amounted prac-
tically to issuance OF orders to buy
more cotton than the actual supply
This was a means of stimulating the
market-of operating a corner
Justice Lurton dissented from the
opinion on technical grounds. Chief
Justice White and Justice Holmes dis

Woman Also Has "Nighties" for
Tramps lengthened.

London, Eng-A woman member
of the Winchester board of guardians
has been advocating better treatment
for tramps, and the board has sue
cumbed to her eloquence.
She complained that the short night
shirts supplied to the tramps were not
enough protection to the legs in the
drafty corridors of the workhouse.
The lady argued that they ought to
be made longer, and the guardians de-
cided to add six inches to the length
of the garments.
She also advocated with success the
substitution of straw-stuffed pillows
for the wooden blocks hitherto used,
and as a result no more heads will be
sent to the block at Winchester.

Chicago.-An Evanston man who
has watched the wife's rapid progress
through club life was startled the 9TH
er day in rummaging about the house
to discover a strange costume he new
er had seen his wife wear. The cos
tune was scanty. 1t consisted OF four
yards of chiffon. brown stockings, and
a trim little suit of light brown under
wear. Clutching the evidence in one
hand and his spectacles in another he
dashed into the library.
"Wh-what is all this?" he demand
ed.
The wife laid down her copy OF
Henrik lbsen.
Why" she said calmly, that's my
eurythmy suit"
After her husband had revived she
explained she had become a member
of Evanston society's latest cult. IL
is a school OF rhythmic dancing and
interpretative art"
Three times a week Evanston wom-
en- seek "eurythmy." They hasten to
the studio with small bundles and
line up for their study class. The
brown suit represents the tanned skin
of the ancient Greek. the scarf OF chif-
fon their costume.
At first the classes performed In
bathing suits, but "eurythmy" could
not be attained in such cumbersome
costumes and the inexpensive Greek
scarfs draped over union suits were
substituted.
1t isn't dancing" said one of the
women, when questioned. 1T is a
serious educational theory. Rhythm
is at the bottom of 1t and rhythm will
discipline the minds as well g. the
body.
Every movement means definite
beat in the metrical structure OF the
music The actions may be read from
music sheets. only we dance the notes
instead of playing them"
why, I'm just crazy about 1t, said
another IT'S Just the best idea. II
