PAYING CORRECT LIGHT BILLS?
The Commonwealth-E Edison Co.
operates over 100000 electric light
meters in the city. The meters which
measure the amount of electric cur
rent used by consumers are owned,
installed and inspected by the Edison
Accompany.
Each of these 100000 families
which pays it's bills to the Edison Co.
must take it for granted that the me-
tiers are correct and that it is not
paying for more light than is being
used. If a consumer desires an in
spection of his meter he must pay the
light company 81 or wish in vain.
But things may be different if an
ordinance asked by Aid. Charles Mer-
riam in the gas, oil and electric light
committee lives through the council.
The city in the future will examine
the meters of the Edison Company to
make sure that the consumer is not
being cheated.
If the meter has been running slow,
that is, if the consumer has been get
ting more light than he has been pay
ing for, he is charged so cents for the
test.
If his complaint against the Edison
Company that his meter has been
registering more current than he has
been using is right the light company
must come across with the fee.
The ordinance asked by Aid. Mer-
Ram came down from the public serv-
ice department, was rehashed by the
electric light committee and is now in
the hands of the corporation counsel
for legal preparation. It provides in
spection by the city electrical ex-
perts.
Although the Edison Company is
not charged openly with cheating the
people the ordinance is regarded as a
safeguard and it's passage is an i'm

CHARACTERISTICS OF A MULE
Endurance, Vlsor and Easlness to
Keep Depend Upon Mare-pe-
mand ls for Big Animals.

Mule breeders differ to some extent
over whether the mule colts charac-
teristics are due most to the jack or
to the mare. Several investigators
who have asked mule breeders for
their experiences and opinions have
received information that was at vari-
ance. The weight Of opinion, however,
seems to incline that the external
characteristics Of the mule colt are
given him by the jack, while his en-
%durance, lyigor and easlness to keep
will depend upon the mare.
SO It viii be seen that the scrub
mare. the cat-hammed, washy type
of little weight or stamina will not
make a suitable mother for the mule
that is 70 sell well. Any sort Of a
mare will not do. but that is rather a
popular idea among some growers.
Take a big farm mare, n that will
stand about 10, 1914 or 16 hands high,
and that weighs anywhere from 1,400
to 1880 pounds, and bred to a good
jack she should produce the kind Of
mules that the market is always look
ing lOI.
When the jack is selected he should
be of fair size and weight at about
1000 to 1900 pounds, and have the
right kind Of a pedigree back of him.
OF course there are good jacks that
are somewhat smaller, but the 10 to
15h hand animal is the n that is
most certain to produce the type of
mules that a farmer likes to be able
to offer. Where an animal is bought
II is worth the buyers while to spend
a little more and get as nearly what
is wanted as possible.
It is Just as easy to raise a big, rug
ged, heavy mule as 1t is to grow the
little mules that are now used over
much Of the South. They call them
