ent Street IRntlng appropriation.
While the Commissioners were adj
vised by the City Attorney that Hop
kinsville has the right to fix and reg
ulate the rates Of the Kentucky Pub
lie Service Co, to private users and
was also advised that the rates pre-
scribed by Ordinance No 20 were Just
and reasonable and therefore fair to
the Company, under the position taxi
en- by the Company, which was that
the city did not have the right to fix
and regulate its rates, II would have
been necessary to litigate the ques-
ton to sustain the terms Of the Ordi-
nance No. 90. Law suits generally
are long drawn out and are expen-
sive, even for the winner, and since
the Company ultimately evinced a
willingness to compromise the differ
ences, II was deemed best because
more certain and more economical for
all concerned, to make an amicable
settlement. Under the settlement the
majority Of the users Of electricity for
lighting are substantially benefited
and harmonious. relations between the
city and its inhabitants and the Com
pany are continued and the city is
saved the expense and uncertainty of
litigation, all Of which will doubtless
prove welcome news to the public.

COMMUNITY CLUB WORK

At meeting of the Rio Grande
County Farm Bureau at Del Norte
the question of Community Club
Work was taken up and this work
was explained by Mr.. Jamison, the
District Emergency Agent. who is in
the Valley to establish these clubs in
each of the counties.
This Community Club work is be-
ing done by the Department of Agri-
cultural College. The object of these
clubs is to promote a closer relation
ship among the farmers in their local
communities and to encourage more
of the social life than is now carried
on in most of the farming districts.
This club work will in no way inter
fere with any other of the coopera-
tive organizations, but will encour-
age more of this kind of work to be
taken up and will cooperate with all
of the organizations now working
along these lines. These clubs will
promote and encourage local work in
the communities, taking up in an in
innate way the problems and ques-
tions relating to the community in
which the club is organized. Later
these clubs will be organized in a
County Federation of Clubs, and
from this County Federation with
the Farmers Union, Hog Growers AS
sociation and other cooperative Or
ganizations in the County will form
the County Farm Bureau.
The Farm Bureau as formed last
Spring contemplated taking up this
Community Club Work and is now
carrying out it's plan. Committees
were named to start the work in the
west part of Rio Grande county and
clubs will be organized in the Grang-
er and Twin Mountain Districts. and
the Pinos Creek District. These
clubs will be organized as soon as the
farm work lets up enough so that the
people have time to give to this work
Dates will be given out later. Other
parts of the county will be organized
as soon as they can be reached.

AMPLE SUPPLY OF FRUIT CARS

shippers and railroads in the matter
of car supply, the State Public Utili-
ties Commission has detailed two in
spectors to the Western Slope where
they are keeping in touch with the
movement of the fruit crop, now in
progress. Daily reports made by the
inspectors indicate that the work
done by the Commission during the
past summer, with the object of pre-
venting car shortage in Colorado,
has had results. AT Palisade, where
the first real movement of fruit from
the Western Slope begins, the supply
of cars has been satisfactory. The
labor supply also is reported ade-
quate.

means End of War"

Petrograd, via London.--"The end
Of the war now is in sight" This was
the remark Of the president Of the
Duma, Machel V. Rodzianko. "In well
coming Americas decisive step" he
continued, 81 am not only speaking for
myself, but expressing the attitude Of
the allies, whose representative dis
cussed with me, the rupture Of Ger
man-American relations. | feel that
an American declaration Of war on
Germany must follow and in that case
the scandinavian countries and Hol.

lead of the United States, resulting in
the complete isolation of Germany and
her allies from the rest of the world
This undoubtedly would end the war"

SWISS WILL NOT
FOLLOW j. s. LEAD
sPAIN's ACTION INTERPRETED AS
INDICATING NATION WILL NOT
BREAK WITH GERMANY.
WILL ACT FOR AMERICA
King Alfonso Has Been Officially Stat
ed On Several Occasions To Be
Waiting For Opportunity TO Fur
ther Moves For Peace.

Washington. - Information that
Switzerland will not adopt President
Wilson's suggestion that in the inter
est of the world peace other neutrals
follow the lead of the United States
and break off diplomatic relations
with Germany, was received here, So
far as is known this is the first re-
ply.
Spain's taking over the American
interests in Germany and Switzer-
lands similar action for German in
terests here, are interpreted as remov-
ing both these neutrals from parti-
Cipation in the break in relations.
Spanish Ambassador RianO, who
conferred with state department Off
cials, said he had adyices that Spains
answer to the German notification
would be made public, but that he did
not know its contents. He intimat-
ed it was doubtful if Spain would for
mally reply to President Wilson's note
to neutals, as her taking over Of Amer
ican interests in Germany indicated
that no matter how seriously she
might protest Germanys actions she
would not as yet sever diplomatic re-
lations.
Spain is the largest neutral now
absolutely free from ENHANCEMENT in
the war and is by far the best
equipped automatically to serve as an
intermediary between the belligerent
groups. The practical certainy that
an American break with Austria also
cannot be avoided makes it more de-
sirable than ever that Spain should
remain outside the struggle.
King Alfonso has been officially stat
ed on several occasions to be waiting
for an opportunity that may present
itself to further moves toward peace,
and now that the usefulness of the
United States has been impaired
stands as the most likely mediator.
The Harrison times., 1917-02-10
Says NeutraIs Together.

London.-The Manchester Guardian
believes that President Wilson already
has received assurances that other
great neutral powers will follow the
lead of the United States. "The Unit
ed States" says the Guardian, takes
her fitting place as the greatest Of
the neutral powers and their leader.
i take it for granted said President
Wilson, that all neutrals will take
the same course He would hardly
have made such a statement without
authority. If other powers notably,
we suppose practically the whole Of
the powers Of South America, should
join the United States in this step
there is a strong probability that they
will also join in the next and decisive
one of entering side by side into the
war"

Fish Farming.

That fish can be raised as a profit
able farm crop is the belief Of the
state College of Agriculture at Cor
nell. The college authorities are plan
ming to add to their present fish hatch
cry series Of ponds in which the fish
may be kept and reared to maturity
under known conditions. Up to the
present time there has been scarcely
any scientific fish raising and most of
the hatcheries are raising FRY" and
turning them loose in the streams to
Sshift for themselves. The only places
where trout are raised to any extent
are on commercial farms, and even
there the process has not been stand
>ardized nor has the problem received
the study necessary to place fish rails
ing on practical basis. The ques-
ton of the best fish foods and how to
provide them the selection of breeding
stock and the best methods Of fish pond
management have been neglected, and
Mt Is these questions that the college
hopes to solve.
