Big Consumers to
Pay More for Water

There has been an opinion afloat
of late that the corporations using
city water under the minimum rate
are not paying their share OF the
water tax. The city commissioners
have a little remedy which may
work out a higher rate for the rail-
roads and the Belle Springs cream
cry and a lower rate for the resi-
dence district. There are only four
corporations in the city whose con-
sumption of water places them in
the minimum class. The three rail-
roads and the Belle Springs cream
cry use much more water than nec-
essary to secure the minimum rate
of cents per thousand gallons. The
railroads use about 100000 gal
Ions per year and each corporation
pays into the city treasury about
$40O years. The Belle Springs
company uses close to 100000
gallons for which it pays around

MANCHESTER TO HAVE A
TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL

Manchester Motor: A large and
enthusiastic high school meeting
was held in the Manchester school
house Monday night. q. A. More
house was elected permanent chair
man and M. e. Simpson was elected
secretary.
Mr.. Morehouse appointed as Q

high school building; District No.

Mustard. The committe is to re-
port as soon as they have made the
canvass.
A high school here will mean the
dawn of new era of prosperity for
the township, and a united efeeSc.1ss
should be made to secure it. The
present valuation of assessable
property OF Flora township is more
than $1,5OO,OOO and the cost of q
high school would not be a burden
to anyone, especially If the payment
is extended for number of years.
The increase in value Of every
piece of property in the township
would be a hundred fold as COM
pared to the increase in tax.

SUNDAY SCHOOL GRADED
UNIONS GOOD MEETING.

The regular meeting OF the Sun
day school teachers' union, held q
the United Brethren church last ev
ening was well attended by Sunday
school workers. The devotional ser
vices were conducted by Mrs. Daily
A motto entitled, Others was pre-
sented by the president, Mrs. Harry
Taylor, which was enthusiastically
received by the union.
The secretary, Mrs. Hobbs, read
minutes of the last meeting. Mrs
Humphrey presented two songs to
be used for offering songs in the
junior department. They we're sung
by a mixed quartette from the M.
e. Sunday school and was one of the
most pleasing features of the ev-
ening.
The treat of the meeting was a
debate, Resolved, that the hour
following the morning service is the
better hour for Sunday school than
the hour preceding the preaching
service" The affirmative was ably
represented by Rev. Hull and Rev.
Schrock, and the negative warmly
defended by Rev. Hoffman and Rev.
Lucas. The judges appointed de-
cided in favor of the affirmative,
whose decision was greeted by ap-
plause by the union, but upon the
presidents call for vote of de-
cision no one seemed inclined to
commit himself for a serious con-
sideration of changing the hour.
Most Of the workers seemed to think
the customary hour for holding the
Sunday school quite satisfactory. The
first three chapters of the text book
''Some Good Stories and How to Tell
Them" reviewed by Mrs. Daisy Steen
was enjoyed and proved helpful.

Auto Tax Makes
New Road Fund

der the new arrangements recently
made by the county commissioners
and more drags will be put into
commission in a short time. Thirty
men will be at work with the dragss
under the direction of township
trustees and the county commissions
ers, when the plan goes into fuII
effect Each man will be responsi-
BILE for five miles of road and will
have the work he does upon 1t SUBJ
ject to comparison with what is be-
ing done on other five-mile stretches
by other men with drags. This 10
expected to provoke a rivalry in
good work that will make the coun-
try roads as good as constant atten-
tion can make them.
The good results already have
been seen on the stretches of road
where the drag has been put into
use. Not all the thirty road drags
purchased by the county commissions
ers are in use as yet, but they Will
be working before many more weeks
have elapsed. The man in charge
of a five-mile stretch of county
road is paid rs cents for dragging
his road single time, or $1.25 for
double dragging 1t. The time when
the road shall be dragged will be

sioners or the township trustees.

The county will have a new source
of revenue for road Improvement
when the auto tax is collected the
first Of July and the county COM
missioners are wondering how the
new fund Is to be handled. The
county has not had road fund be-
fore and all improvement to the
county roads was paid for out Of
the general fund. The new auto tax
Is designated as accessible for road
Improvement and for that purpose
only, There are close to 500 autos
in the county which means that
there will be $4,000 ready for road
work by the middle of the summer.
The roads of the county need work
and the money should be expended
as soon as possible and in u manner
of profit for the whole county. How
this will be done the commissioners
do not yet know.
Douglass county has instituted
new system of, working the roads
which is meeting with the approval
of good road boosters. The Ga
zette says:
The goods roads campaign has
progressed beyond the stage Of talk

Beginning the first OF July the
county officers draw their salaries
under the new law passed at the
meeting Of the last legislature and
practically all of them get small
raises. The clerk of the district
court leads the list with raise of
$400 per year. His salary will now
be $1704. The county attorney and
the county superintendent are the
two county officers who were made
the goat of the legislature and get
many added duties without a raise
OF any kind in salary. The county
attorney is made the divorce proctor
for the county with many added
duties and is not allowed to repre-
sent either party in divorce cases
DUNG his term of office. The divorce
field has always been open to the
county attorney and the county at
torneys in this county have always
drawn their share of these cases.
The county superintendent is COM
PEELED by the new law to spend twice
as much time in the school districts
of the county as heretofore and his
salary Is not raised. At the present
time he also has a pretty good chance
OF being made the critic for moving
picture films of the county without
extra pay.
The salary of the county treasurer
is left at $1,000 but the county must
pay all of the premium for surety
bond hereafter where It payed only
half of the premium under the old
law. This phase in the new law Is
the same as s95 added to the treas
urer's salary.
The office of the probate Judge is
most effected by the new order. His
salary will be raised about 5000

MARKET DAY SALES
LEAD TO SPECULATION.
Buy Goods at One Market Day and
Sell Them Again at Next.

The market day sales have come
to place where some of the get
rich-quick men of the community
are using it to whet their sense OF
speculation. A month ago a second
hand washing machine sold at the
public sale for 80 cents. This same
washing machine found it's way into
the market day sale Saturday and
was knocked off at $1.S5, which,
considering everything, was not bad
interest on the money. A number
of articles of small value have been
going the round of the market day
for speculation purposes only ana
while there is httle against such
speculation the business mems as
sociation is looking for an effective
way of stopping it in the sales be-
fore 1t becomes too general. The
sale Saturday totaled $1496. A
arge crowd was in town all the af-
.ernoon and all of the merchants had
