KEEPING THE PEACE.

President wilson's task in the Mex
lean question seems to have forced
him to serve in a dual capacity, more
so perhaps than any other question
with which he has been confronted
He must serve as prosecuting attor-
mey and also as Judge
As prosecuting attorney, he must
make a case against the defendant
ard look after the interests of the
complainant. But because the defen-
dant is a nation of half-gOverned. half
starved people the President is not
equally matched in the case and he
nast also look after the interests of
well-nigh helpless defendant.
Hence the President has no doubt
realized that any sort of action against
."axico would not have been credit
able to this country, and he has been
exceedingly patient.
But his greatest task has been re-
straining his own people. He has po-
Iced the borders and has organized
TIE entire country for concentrated,
large-scale action, but all of the time
ne has been keeping the peace. 1t has
not been a kindergarten task-this
problem of composing all of the differ
ent factions and interests of this
great country, in the face of threats
ahd assaults by uncontrolled and un-
COi:trollable bands
Although the peace may not be i,ept
through another presidential term,
the present occupant of the White
House has already proved himself
great pacificator

LABOR SHORTAGE IN CHICAGO
Militia Call May Force Employment
0i Women in Mems Trades.

I!y United Press.
CHICAGO. July Whatever the
effect may have been on other cities,
the mobilization of the American Mi
litia finds Chicago facing a serious
skilled and unskilled labor shortage
today. The extensive employment of
women in what heretofore have been
exclusively masculine fields is not
considered improbable nor remote.
Labor employment bureaus are
swamped with demands for male help
of all kinds. Want ad columns are
iammed with offers of jobs. More
than ! 900 regular manual labor jobs
are waiting for men to take them. AL
most an equal number of skilled labor
jobs are open.
The demand for office assistants.
managers. clerks and men of trades IS
far in excess of the supply. Hundreds
of first-class jobs have gone begging

troops took the militiamen from their
benches. desks and Offices. and the

many instances has been seriously in

Imagine how it would feel to be

Gse of water will seem a crime. OF
course the condition in Columbia is

citizens is to take care in using only
what is necessary.
The chief waste of water comes
from those who sprinkle their flow

gathering of the produce is entrust

New Banded Sailors;
More Varied and Colorful

that State zoologist IL. A. Surface, of
the Department of Agriculture says
that it is an easy matter for any in
terested persons to answer the ques-
ton for himself according to the
locality in which he may live, as
the killing of fruit buds this year is
decidedly local.
I'm some portions of a county
practically all of the peach buds may
be dead, and in other portions of the
same county most of them may be
alive at the present time," says DR..
Surface. What may answer for one
region may not be true of another.
BY personal examination the facts
can be learned with ease.
There is mistake in the popular
notion that it Is possible to tell the
condition of all fruit buds at this time
of year The possibility of diagnosis
applies only to the buds of the stone
fruits, or peaches, plums and cherries.
OF these varieties the fruit buds are
very large and rounded, and the leaf
buds are small and pointed. BY cut
ting across the large, round and
conspicuous fruit buds it is possible
to see if the center is green or brown.
If green, 1t is certain that the bud is
all right; but If brown, it is dead. The
proper way to do is to examine the
buds of different twigs on the same
tree, and on trees in different por-
tons of the orchard. Keep a record
or the number examined, the number
good and the number dead. When
one hundred have been examined
these numbers are the equivalent of
percentages, respectively, and a state
ment can safely be based upon such
an examination and count.
1T will be found that peach buds
this year in elevated regions where
they kept cold during January, are
mostly alive; but where 1t was warm |
during that month, and especially in
lower ground, they are killed. The
crop in general this year will be very
short compared with that of last year. |
There are several regions from
which reports have come to the effect
that they are entirely destroyed.

from the situation on the investors.
The producing plant of the petition
er may be called into active service
at any time. We have determined to
regard 1t as part of the property up-
On which the Company is entitled to a
fair return.
After correcting some slight errors,
and adding the value of 500 meters
which were omitted by inadvertence
or oversight the appraisal of the staff
would be as follows:
Cost of reproduction, $516,590.00;
Cost of reproduction less depreciation,
SAIL, 10000.
This would be the result without de-
Quoting the value Of the property used
and useful In the production of arti-
ficial gas, and with no allowance for
going value or working capital
The history of this plant shows that
its unfortunate career is due in part,
at least, to conditions over which it
had no control. 1t may have sinned
previously, but its SHINING did not pro-
duce natural gas Natural gas has
been the milestone about the neck of
this utility. 1t has had losses prac-
tically throughout it's entire career that
have never been compensated by ex-
cessive earnings. 1t is entitled, I'M
der any theory Of the law, to an allow
ance for going value: This we have
fixed at $35,0OO00. 1t is also entitled
to working capital. Working capital,
above material and supplies, is cap
able OF an approximate determination.
1t ought to be allowed working cap
ital above material and supplies of
about six weeks Of its operating ex-
penses for the year. We think $40, 00O,-
90 would be a reasonable allowance
for working capital. An examination
Of all the evidence and Of all the ap-
praisments leads us to believe that
the staff's valuation of this property is
fair and reasonable valuation After
allowing $35,000O0. for going value and
100000. for working capital, we de-
termine and by order fix the value of
the property of the Richmond Light,
Heat and Power Company, that is used
and useful for the. convenience of the
public at $450,00000. We also find
that 2 per cent is proper and ade.
uuate depreciation account to be car
ried by the Richmond Light Heat and

such depreciation account can be rea-
sonably required
