butte to the worth of these securities
in the collateral world, and is also
tribute to the business management
G. the Lincoln company
However, not all of the credit for
the good standing of the Lincoln
company is due to Mr.. Montgomery.
Every head OF department appears
to have caught the spirit of good
management displayed by the general
superintendent and vies with each
other in an effort to make his depart
ment one Of the best managed in the
parent organization.
Heads of these departments are J.
f. .Shuff, commercial manager, who
has long been with the company,
knows it like a book and is considered
one of the live wires. o. R. Mallat,
the secretary and treasurer; A. 7.
Hutchins, plant superintendent. and
D. f. Byerly, superintendent Of dis
tribution, are all doing their share in
adding to the capacity and efficiency
OF the company.
The capacity Of the plant is 5000
kilowatts. A new 5000 turbine is
now being installed and new switch
board put in at an expense of over
$4,000 Electric lines and gas mains
of the company are from time to
time extended so that every addition
to the rapidly growing city is being
served.

Lincoln Electric Light
and Gas Company

One of the public service corpora
tions which has had much TO do
with the building up OF the capital
city is the Lincoln Electric Light and
Gas-company, which has been doing
business in the city for many years.
For the last three years it has been
under the management of G. A. Mont
gomery, vice president and general
manager. Under his efficient man
agement the company has taken rapid
strides and the patrons have received
better service than ever in the history
of the company.
The Lincoln com Jany was recently
taken into what is known as the City
Service corporation, which covers
many of the best and largest cities
in the country. This alone should
speak well for the management OF
the company by Mr.. Montgomery
and the further evidence that the
stock of this company was selected
as one OF the three securities put up
back of the $250,0O0,0O0 S per cent

JAPAN SENT Ho,'EYsUcKLEs
China Contributes New Variety Of
Fragrant Flower to Native
Supply.


Years ago Japan sent to this coun-
try vigorous green vine which won
favor through its lavish display OF
fragrant white flowers in late spring.
For time the vine and flowers were
kept within the bounds OF gardens,
lawns and parks. Then it ran away.
Today you'll find it roaming along
the roadside. climbing stunps and
hedges. 1t needs no gardener, for it
can take care of itself. It's the honey
suckle.
The Japanese variety which ran
away joined some OF its American
cousins, who are just as pretty and
Just as fragrant. There's the coral
honeysuckle, for example, famous
porch climber in the southern states.
with trumpet-shaped flowers, red out
side and scarlet within. In England
they have the woodbine. cream col
ored fragrant relative Of the honey
suckle.
Recently there came a new variety
from China, where il was found on
the tops OF mountains 5000 feet above
the sea. Its foliage is almost ever
green, and the flowers are reddish
bronze. Another variety has red
flowers, with yellow ard buff mark
ings.
There's no need to hunt for the
honeysuckle. Its fragrance will an.
nounce it before you're near enough
to see it.--Philadelphia North Amer

Our Fruitland friends who got their

with the fact that the condition is
quite general, in the valley at least.
1t even rained in Bethel. The Bethel
haymakers got their hay dried out in
good shape and have it all in the stack.
The hay was not damaged very much
except in appearance and it is thought
that the color will he improved when
the hay goes through the sweat.
The hay crop in the valley is believed
to be quite short this year aud for this

there will be less hay than usual in
Bethel. But perhaps when the hay is
all made the shortage may not be so
great as some of us would like.
