It is true that the prices of staple commodities is higher than :eyes before and every thing else has talk en raise.

COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS

The Council met in regular sss-- sion Tuesday night with Mayor Carlson in fhe chair and Council men Lebsch and Smith present. After calling to order and the read, ing and approving of the minutes of the last meeting the claims against the city were taken up and allowed except the salary of tho Clerk which was held up by coun- cilman Lebsch. x.1 Considerable discussion followed
 the action of councilman Letsch in which some of the citizens took part, but Councilman Cauffman being absent no second WAS receir- ed to the motion to allow the claim
 and it passed over.
 An initiative petition was filed
 with the Town Clerk by T. H.
 Cureton signed by 130 citizens
 requesting the Council to pass ordi-
 nances regulating midnight closing.
 The Council passed the petition to
 their next meeting, but the petition
 having received sufficient signatures the proposed ordinance will be submitted to the people at the next , city election.
 1 It is the opinion of the News : that if Mayor Carlson had a Coun- cil back of him that was as desirous
 as he to serve the city well, he could accomplish . number of things that
 he has in mind that would .hs of benefit to the town in general. :5s At a former meeting the Mayor i. was instructed to purchase a siren whistle for fire alarm and he ini- i; forms us that he has done so and that the whistle will soon be install. ed. This is something that the
 town has needed for some time.

PUBLIC STATEMENT

To The Williams News:
 Consider able misunderstanding has arisen in regard to an article which 1 con- tributed to the News last week. I state frankly and honestly that when submitting this article, I had no thought of lnjuring the feelings or reputation of any person mentioned in the proposed ticket. Most of those mentioned are per soual friends of mine and I neither had then nor have now any desire to do any injury to any man men, toned on the ticket.
 Tn the seconI place I consider many if not all Of th,se menti ned by me fully as 'mpetent of ad- ministering the affairs of the city as some We have had in the past If any satire was intended it WAS only upon the judgment of some people in suggesting names whish they had. and this without any thought of working any injury}to those whose names had mentioned
 In the third place, I want it dis. tinctly understood that I went into no mans past, cast no reflections upon anyone mentioned, nor do desire to do so, for 1 have seen both sides of life myself and have selected what I consider the right side of this life and am only toe willing to help anyone else. My motto is, "Live and Let Live and Boost for the City of Opportuni. ties". Knocking gets you nothing but the enmity of the general pu b. lie.
 Yours,
 Bobby Burns

THE TOUGH TICKET

There has been considerable spec ulation as to who was the getter up of the tough ticket. After running down several clues, it is Our unani- nous opinion that Bobby Burns is the man. Now who is this Bobby Burns? Like the Bobby of old he is not unknown to fame, and as a news paper writer he is the. whole cheese. In looking up his past re- cord we find he has beautiful rep.
 We find primarily that he is an adept checker player with his nose.
 We think that his picture would beautifully decorate rogues gall cry, but which by strange anom- ally of fate adorns the screen of the movies every night. (He pays for it.. Resolved that we, the under signed, members of the Tough Tick ct believe the foregoing statemer | to be true and herewith solemnly pledge ourselves, our lives, and our sacred honor for the success of the ticket.
 Jack Martin, Dad Ragan, G. M. Graham, Benj., Franklin, Gee Jim.

ALMOST BY HEART.
Better Know Few Books Than Skim
Through Many.

From the New York Sun.
In his yearly report Dr. Nicholas Muir
ray Butler deplores too much slovenly
reading matter as an obstacle to educa-
ton the substitution of quantity for
quality" and recalls the fact that the
great lawyers. of the colonial period and
the makers of the Constitution had few.
but the f1ttest books; knew well a few
first-rate books
One reason aside from insufficient or in
competent instruction in the schools for
the SO often complained of illiteracy, SO to
speak. of college students is probably to
be found in the mass of juvenile stories
which the Carnegie and other libraries
feed to them and which they skim through
at the double quick getting no permanent
impression. Their grea:-grandfathers
read over and. over and assimilated a
handful of books. The little dingy or tat
tered home collection was often their
school. college and university. Let us
read over again Nicolay and Hays de-
scription of Abraham Lincoln's boyhood
studies:
His reading was naturally limited by
his opportunities, for books were among
the rarest of Injuries in that region and
time. But he read everything he could
lay his hands upon, and he was certainly
fortunate in the few books of which he
became the possessor. 1t would hardly be
possible to select better handful of
classics for a youth in his circumstances
than the few volumes he turned with a
nightly and daily hand-the Bible, 'Aesop' s
Fables Robinson Crusoe,' The Pilgrim s
| Progress history of the United States
| and Weems'3 Life of Washington These
We're the best and these he read over and
over till he knew them almost by heart
Almost by heart. Fortunate the child
who has lived with few books. In a
| world of volumes swollen to intolerable
dimensions there are still but few books.
They are those we make our own; that
shape the mind. store the memory. are
the foundation and the discipline Of our
intellectual life.

LONDON BUDGET, $1so,ooo,ooo.
Costs Approximately That Amount
to Run City for Year.
A Correspondence of The Star.


LONDON, January -. l9l4
1t costs s130,C00,G00 a year to run Lon
DON This cost is revealed in return
which the London county council has
issued. The county council spends $J5,-
OO0, 600 a year, but as it gets grants from
the government for various purposes, such
as education. it only asks the ratepayers
for $35.O00.000 There are other authori-
ties which have power to ask for money,
and SO chaotic is the system of local gov
eminent that it is not even possible to
say, to million or so. the exact amount
which the people have to pay. All that
can be said is that it is somewhere in the
neighborhood of s13O.O0003O.
Since the London county council was
created twenty-three years ago it has
on capital raised no less than $470.O09, 900.
OF this as much as $1a0.0oo, 900 has been
spent on street improvements Education
has taken $50. 500. and SEQ 600. OGh has
been spent on main drainage. London is
an expensive place to manage, and despite
the economies practiced during, recent
years it is getting very obvious that locsi
government will cost the people much
more in the future. Still there is popu-
lation of i.J00,O0o to bear the burden.
