GARDENS IN BEREA

On the whole gardens in Berea
are fine. There are thirteen more
gardens in Berea than last year.
Preparation, fertilization and Guilt
walton are much better. With all
the preparation, fertilization and
cultivation we still have weedy gar
dens. There are some gardens now
in Berea that are SO full Of weeds
that the cabbage, potatoes and to-
matOes can't be had without search
ing and wading thru weeds waist
deep, then pulling weeds out Of the
way to get what you want. This
is not patriotism nor good garden
ing.
The weeds are taking plant food
and moisture out of the soil and
causing your crops to suffer. The
weeds are also going to seed now,
every weed producing from 500 to
5000 seeds which will seed your
garden well for next year il you
dent cut or pull before they get
ripe.
Call and see the gardens owned by
the following people,:
DIR. M. NJ. Robinson
Mr.. Wertenberger, our Editor.
Mrs. J. ID. Charleston
Mr.. Bert Coddington.
These are only mentioned because
Of a few extra things to be seen, not
because they are the best gardens
in town. II you want to see the
very best garden in town call on

how to prepare, fertilize and Guilt

Do You Understand Your Light Bills :!

Prospective buyer How much
gas and electricity do you use
every month?'
Owner-''I don t know, but here
are the bills. Judge.
The above was intended for a Joke,
but is it?
This Company tries in every way to
make its bills show the items charged
for in a clear, understandable manner.
1t does not merely say ''lights for the
month of January but it tells you,
on the bills, how much electricity YOU
used for light, and how much for
power if you have a separate power
meter; and also, what rate it is charg-
ing.
Further, it offers you every means
for checking the accuracy of the bill.
The first means is the meter You
dom expect the merchant from whom
you buy food, to supply you with
household scales. Yet that is exactly
what the light company does with re-
gard to the electricity you use. And
it leaves the measuring device,-its
meter,-in your possession all the
time! All you need do, to check the
quantity charged on your bill, is to
read the meter each month yourself
And it may be money in your pocket to
do it. We have about 800 meters scat
tered between Grizzly Creek and
Mitchell Creek and out toward Cardiff,
The Glenwood post., 1917-01-27

and it's some job to read these every
month, make out the bills and do it all
without mistake. We would much
rather be called down by you about an
error in our bills, than to have You
thinking of us as thieves and robbers
forever afterward. We don t think we
make many mistakes, so are not afraid
to mention this matter, but we certa in
ly want chance to correct any that
do occur.
Then there is that little matter of
the rate. Do you know that the Com
pany's rate schedules are open to your
inspection? That means that you can
find out, for yourself, just what our
rates are for every class of service.
Everybody gets the same rate. What
ever may be your belief to the con-
trary; we repeat that all our consumers
are getting the same rates. That's
law. We obey the law;-that's COM
mon sense Ask the Public Utilities
Commission, if you won't take our
word for it.
So, having meter to check the
quantity charged for, and the open rate
schedules to check the rate charged,
and having both these shown in writ
ing ON the bills we send you, is there
anything more we can do to tell You
chow much electricity you use," and
