LIGHT PLANT REPORT
 GIVEN HIGH PRAISE
MISSOURI PAPER FINDS CON- WAY A MUNICIPAL OWN
 ERSHIP ARGUMENT.

The recent report of the Conway light and water plants, copy of which happened to fall into the hands of the Poplar Bluff (Mo.) Citizen Democrat, is being used by that paper as an argument in favor of municipal ownership at Poplar Bluff. In a re- cent letter to Supt. E. V. Leverett the editor of the Missouri paper says in part:
 "On March 19 we vote on a S75.OOO bond issue for city light plant, and We are meeting with bitter opposition at the hand of the Missouri Public Utilities Company, and we want you to give us some information regard ing your experience with city owner ship.
 Right here permit me to say that your successful handling of the mu- nicipal plant in your city has done as much to make your city known as anything you can point to with pride We are desirous of knowing more about this plant and your experi- ences.
 We are making a fight for the plant and you may rest assured that this publication, an undivided city council and the general public is ap- preciative of any aid shown and shall endeavor to reciprocate at some time"

to earn their money; they should be held to strict account for it as we'll To some extent they should be reouir- ed to bear constantly increasing share of their own regular expenses. To allow child to spend all his mon ey for his pleasures and look to the family for necessaries, is a vicious practice. It will not ruin all boys. but 1t will ruin a great many of them Spending money has ruined more boys than the lack of it has even injured. Let boys and girls make their own money and then require that a reason ably large part of it be used help fully.
 l sincerely hope you will think this proposition over very carefully. I am working in the interests of your child: The money he saves will amount to but little comparatively, but the habit formed will mean much to him. Help us to help you make your boys thrifty and prevalent. Help us to teach him the dignity of self-support Help us to teach him that the only money that brings happiness is the money that is fairly earned. And help us to teach him the right use of his greatest ma terial gift-time. For the child who has learned rightly to use his time has gone far on the road that leads
