This might be done with profit by
school children in every city in America.
1t would be the means of saving many
dollars worth of objects that otherwise
would be wastcd. B,t the great benefit
would come in sthe training it would give
the pupils in the ways of thrift. They
would be given demonstration of the
value OF saving,. and would soon learn to
make the application personal.
We must always consider that thrift is
cumulative and Progressive in its develop
ment. The saving of 4 little today makes
it easier to save more tomorrow and so
on. But hope no one will gain the
idea that thrift means saving only in the
smaller sense. Thrift is putting to the
best possible advantage, every penny.

Germany to Berlin. In those days,
which now seem to fade into the mid
die ages, people were asking wonder
Iinsly why the prideful Germans had
never fortified Berlin. This mex
plicable circumstance was expected 10
be Of great assistance to the Slavs,
and was counted upon to permit the
steam roller to move unimpeded along
the Inter Den Linden.
But the past four seasons of fighting
have shown that an empire not ef'
ficiently guided in the days of peace
cannot suddenly transform itself into
an effective organization for war after
hostilities break out. Modern war
fare has proven itself to be the most
technical of all the arts and profess
isions; but at the same time, 1t has
demonstrated that the qualities OF
leadership it demands do not differ in
nature from those capacities for organ.
Iization, thoroughness and quick decis-
tiol. which raise nation industrially
to the first rank. Russia, second
:class industrial nation, in peace, has
proven herself to be a second class
fighting nation, in war. The past year
has shown that she is paying the usual
ipenalty for inefficiency. Had the
facts been otherwise. had Russia re
vealed a special aptitude for war, the
ahsolutist sway of the cars would
have become Europe's new peril after
the end Of the present war. But,
civilization has been saved from that
peril, and Russia has been taught that
she must work out her destiny by
peaceful effort.
The French army committed three
plumbers early in the war but since
then, its commanders have equaled the
Germans in qualities of leadership and
its rank and file have shown the high
est courage. The early French mis-
takes were due to the same causes
inferiority of subordinate leadership,
and indecision in the ranks owing to
recollections of the Franco-Prussian
war Poor leadership was responsible
for too rapid advances into southern
Alsace and western Lorraine last
summer When the Germans deliver
ed their counter strokes, there was a
panic among the French and no subse
quent efforts have been able to re-
cover the ground that was lost in the
French retreat.
The third, and by far the most SER
ious of French errors occurred during
the fighting In southeastern Belgium,

that month less than 81 worth Of cur
rent he was refunded for each of
such months the difference between
the amount he had used and 81, the
amount he had been charged.
Helps Small Consumer.
Under this system the consumer
who used more than $12 worth of
current per year paid only for the
amount Of current he had used. Those,
however, who had used less than q
total Of SIP worth of current for the
year, were required to pay for more
than they had used. There are quite
a number of consumers in each of the
three cities served by the Keokuk
Electric company who use less than
$12 worth of current during the year.
Usually this is in the smaller homes
OF the poorer class Of workingmen. 4
The $12 yearly minimum is one
used in practically all the larger
cities Of the country, approximately
80 percent OF the companies charging
this amount. 1t Is only in some Of
the smaller cities and towns that the
fifty cent minimum Is found.
The announcement of the reduction
to the fifty cent minimum comes as a
surprise here. The matter has, not
been agitated here and there was no
pressure brought to bear on the COM
pany to secure this rate. The decision
to reduce the minimum was made by
the company of it's own volition.
Effect Of Change.
The s12 yearly minimum has been
active here for two years. The mini
mum formerly was fifty cents UP until
the time the current was taken from
the Mississippi River Power company
in juno, 1913. The $12 minimum was
made effective July 1, 1913, and will
have been in operation exactly two
years when it is changed the first Of
next month.
It is not believed the reduction will
have any apparent effect here. The
companys receipts will be reduced to
considerable extent and the cost of
Electricity to the smaller consumers
will in few cases be cut in two. To
these it will mean saving of six dol
lars per year. There are very few
consumers, however, who do not use
more than fifty cents worth of Juice
per month, and the large majority use
over the amount Of the present mini
mum of $12 annually.

HELPS SMALL CONSUMER
Larger Users Of Electricity
Will Not be Affected by
the Reduction From
$40 Yearly.

The minimum rate for electricity in
Keokuk, Hamilton and Warsaw will
be reduced from $12 per year to fifty
cents per month, beginning July 1, it
was announced by Manager J. P. Ingle
OF the Keokuk Electric company, to-
day.
The reduction Is one which affects
only the smaller consumers Of cur
rent.
Sanction OF Boston officials of the
Stone and Webster company has just
been received here and the announce.
ment was. made at once.
Reasons for Reduction.
To make possible the use of cleo
tricity for lighting and other purposes
at low cost In the homes Of the
small consumers and to avoid the con
fusion incidental to refunds on the ST.
yearly minimum, matter which al
ways has caused more or less trouble,
are the REASONS assigned by the com.
pany in making the new minimum
rate.
The $12 minimum is one which has
proved difficult for many to under.
stand and for this reason has caused
much confusion. Under this system
the consumers were billed each month
during the year for minimum Of one
dollar, whether or not they, used this
amount Of current. At the end Of the
year If the consumer had used a total
of more than S12 worth Of current, but
at the same time had, during one or
more months of the year used during

from the Big Nine conference and
anxiously await the decision of the
conference faculties on the baseball
question as outlined by the confer
ence representatives at Chicago on
Saturday.
Tn Badger faculty failed to pass on
the matter at meeting this week,
and according to- close followers of
the situation the matter will be al
lowed to rest a. week to ascertain SEN
timent on baseball at Wisconsin. Wis.
consin students have always been
strong for baseball and have antici-
pated contests in every sport with

While the campus has been absorb

football situation came up for more
discussion today when Seattle alumni
urged in wires to students handling
the Dobie boom that every bit of
pressure possible should be directed
at the regents to take speedy action
at engaging the miracle man of the
west. In their messages they reiter-

Wisconsin will have first considera-

COLORADO SUPREME COURT
.UPHOLDS PROHIBITION LAW

Denver, Dec 9.-The authority Of
Colorado to enact and enforce state.
wide prohibition was upheld by the
state supreme court in an unanimous
opinion written by Justice w. H.
Gabbert.
At tae request OF Gov. George A.
Carlson, the supreme court took orig.
inal jurisdiction in the friendly suit
to secure a judicial Interpretation of
Colorado's new prohibition legisla.
tion and furnish q basis for its en-.
forcement. The action sought to en-
join the Denver city commissioners
from issuing a saloon license to
August Koch. extending beyond Jan.
1, 1916, when statewide prohibition
becomes effective. The commission.
ers in issuing the license based their
action on the fact that Denver ia gov.
erned under special charter granted
10y legislature, and at the municipal
election last May the electors adopt.
ed charter amendmnt which sought
to give tae municipal officials author.
ity to continue the sale Of intoxi.
cants.
The states case, submitted to the
supreme court by Attorney General
Fred Farrar, contended that Denver
and other cities under commission
government, while they possessed
certain special rights in purely mu.
nicipal matters, did not obtain their
charters authority to conduct their
affairs in contravention of state law.
1t argued that the state authority was
supreme and that municipalities had
no more right to enact and attempt to
enforce ordinances in violation of the
state prohibition laws than they had
to fix penalties for murder or other
crimes
Attorneys for the defense argued
that the Denver charter was granted
10y the state legislature and gave that
city's authorities enlarged powers
