MOTOR FIRE TRUCK HAS AR
RIVED.

Grenada is building and otherwise
improving, and the City Council has
felt it's duty to take all possible pre-
cautions to protect the property in
terests of the citizens of the COM
munity and in this they thought
correctly. Acting upon this idea,
some months ago motor fire truck
was purchased, which purchase arriv-
ed only few days ago, and can now
be seen at the garage of the Grenada
Auto Company. The motor truck
tenables the city to fight fires to a
much better advantage, and should
reduce the fire loss of Grenada and
consequently reduce the cost Of fire
insurance. With reduction Of the
rate of fire insurance and the mini
mizing of the terror and annoyance
of fires, the town should save enough
in a few years to more than pay fol
| the cost of the motor truck. Gre
NADIA can fight fires now as well a:
some of our cities.

SECOND PRIMARY

The second primary election for
the nomination of a candidate for

per cent. of the vote throughout the
district. In this county there was
but 365 votes polled out of little
over 1,l0O registered voters. There
WAS marked indifference, and at al
most every precinct it was difficult
matter to get enough men who were
willing to give their time to hold the
election. Knox carried the county

ONE CENT LETTER
POSTAGE ASSURED.
Postmaster General Gives Out Inter-
esting Figures from His Depart.
ment. Says Profit on Garry
ing Letters SIS, 100000.

Efficiency in the post Office depart
ment with a proper readjustment of
rates, will permit the government to
inaugurate one cent letter rate
within the next year, according to
postmaster General Albert S. Burle-
son.
This emphatic statement made by
the postmaster general before the
National Association of Postmasters
of the United States at their July,
1916 Convention, indicates that this
important reform is much nearer
realization than most people believe,
and that next winter will see radical
steps taken toward this end.
In addressing the postmasters
General uBrleson declared that they
are giving the best postal service in
the world today, and that is what the
American farmer and business man
are entitled to, for they pay for it
II advised the postmasters to spare
no expense that means greater eff
ficiency.
"But that does not mean extrav
agance," said Mr.. Burle
"Where is an official who will tel
me that employees useless to the ser
vice should not be Topped off. l d'
not want to be hard on postal EN-
ployees. l believe the government

FERGUSON ANSWERS
"CITlZfN'S" ARTICLE.
More About Power Plant from Mem-
Der City Council. Says Exten-
sion Will Bring Much Ad-
ditional Revenue.

Mr.. Editor:---I first wish to ask
space for this article and to thank
you very kindly for the many past
favors of like nature.
The casual reader or some patron
of the Water e. Light Plant might
infer from Mr.. Citizens discussion,
which appeared in your last weeks
paper, of the boards action concern
ing the water and sewerage extern
sion west of Poplar street, that the
patrons expenses would be increased
and the extension being made to ac-
comodate those who live on the line.
May | say such is not the case.
Patrons monthly plant bills will not
be any higher, and out of the 200 or
$50 houses which the board hopes to
make patrons of, the plant knows of
| but one person on the line that has
asked for the improvement. The ex-
tension and plan is simply business
and sanitary proposition. The great
majority of the patrons of the plant,
| am sure, much prefer paying so
called enormous charges rather than
be without the lights and sewerage.
So if any favoritism is shown, 1t
must be in favor of those that have
water and sewerage and not the peo-
pie who happen to live on Gerard,
Bell and other streets. The prop
erty owner on those streets pay a
water and light tax, Notwithstanding
many of them have neither water or
sewerage. If Mr.. Citizen was one
of the city fathers, think he would
favor paying for the Improvement
out of the monthly earnings OF the
plant The City Coucil asked for an
expression, and the taxpayers, by
their vote, endorsed the action of the
board in this matter. Our water
and light rates l think will compare
favorably with other plants in the
state, Notwithstanding we have bet
y ter service than most towns of this
e size. The enormous price for water
|, and lights that Mr.. Citizen speaks
G of paying is perhaps due to his lacl
l. of economy. The board is trying t.
l. do for the people on Gerard, Bell ant
/? other streets as was done with thos'
n on Main and College, except the is
IS suing of 2O-year bonds to pay TO
# same, which cost SO for 81.

"The fact that this year we have
surplus of between $4,000,0O0 and
$5,OOO,0OO demonstrates that at
last the postal service is on a strong
business and self-suppOrting basis.
If we can keep down useless extrav-
agance, we can soon inaugurate one
cent postage in this country"
This frank statement from the
postmaster general substantiates de-
clarations which have been made
during the past year or two by Of
ficials of the National One Cent Let
ter Postage Association, which has
its headquarters at Cleveland, that
with economical operation of the de-
partment and a reasonable adjust
ment of postal rates, one cent letter
postage could be inaugurated with
out injury to the federal govern
ment, and letter users given the
/ benefit of a big reduction over cur
rent rates.
Nearly sixty bills were presented
at the present session of congress,
calling for one cent letter postage.
Scores of representatives and sena-
tors have been closely studying the
matter and have become united in
a conviction that the time is ripe for
one cent postage, a reform sought
for many years, but only recently
brought to the attention of congress
through the persistent campaign on
the part of the National One Cent
Letter Postage Association.
At the present time letter users
of the United States net profit tc
the government of over $4,000, ,0O(
year over actual cost of distribu
ton. At the same time large maga
zine interests are securing distribu
ton of their product at one cent
r pound, which means great loss T.
the government, and to make up thi
/ loss users of letter postage are pay
1 ing a profit of 100 per cent.
$ 1t is t. correct this great injustice
e that the postmaster general and hi
hundreds of assistants throughou
a the country are now employed
!. From all indications, one cent lette
:. postage promises to be one OF tn
n most important issues at this winter
session of congress.

Warning To The Public

Information has come to me Of
violations of the Scarlet fever
q uarantine, also that some cases
have been smuggled. The law
makes it the duty Of anyone hav.
ing knowledge, Of the existence
of scarlet fever, or of any othec
infectious or contagious disease
to inform the County Health Of
ficer.
1t then becomes his duty to ln-
vestigate. and to properly quar-.
antlne and isolate such cases. 1t
would appear that anyone having
scarlet fever or other contagious
disease in his home would have
sufficient regard for the welfare
of his neigh bors and their child
rem to safeguard them, to the
extent at least of obeying a
quarantine, but there are excep-
tons to this. A quarantine
means that you must remain in
the house where you are quaran.
tined, and not to allow others to
enter or to leave. For those who
will not so stay in the house the
law has provided jalls for. The
failure to report contagious
disease, or the failure to observe
quarantine is made a misde.
meanor, punishable by fine or
Imprisonment. And this notice
is to warn all parties that all vio-
laticns Of the quarantine and
health laws will be vigorously
prosecuted.

A Good Home Market

If you want a good home mar
ket, here's the way to get the
thing. Do a little bit of boost
ing every fall and every spring.
Don't get grouchy in the winter
don't go knocking in the sum-
mer. If you follow this prescrip-
ton, you can make your town a
hummer. You can work a trans
formation in the man who buys
your shoats and your double
jointed turnips and your fine An
CORA goats and your peck of
picked peppers and your spuds
beyond a doubt-and your su-
gar corn and sorghum and your
barrel of winter kraut. You can
timber up the merchant-you
can make the banker grin-you
can multiply your chances, thus,
to gather in the tin. You can do
a thriving business among the
village folks if you'll mix a little
ginger, if you'll dish 'em up some
jokes-if you'll cut out all your
selfishness and let the fellows
know that you are boosting for
your town-that you want to see
it grow. There's a law Of COM
pensation-you must boost if
you would reap. You will never
find market in a town that's
half asleep, where the mer-
chants are discouraged and the
folks have got the blues-and
the man who owes the jobber is
a-quaking in his shoes.
