Public Ownership

From the April number of Pearson's Magazine we re- print the following extract from an article under the head of Cook with Elec- tricity::"
 Under municipal owner ship it is possible for every body to cook with electricity. For a number of years the city of Seattle has been sup plying it's citizens with cleo tricity at a rate as low as 2 cents a kilowatt hour, which makes it almost as cheap as gas. But mark well, Seattle has a very excellent munich pally owned and we'll mana ged light plant.
 The report of the plant for 1914-15 states that the ave- rage bill for domestic power consumers, which included light in all cases as well as water heaters in some cases, was $3.97 per month. AL lowing $1.10 per month for light, which was the average for 1915, the cost of cooking for the average family figures $2.87.
 Now comes the latest num- Der of Kansas Municipali- ties" with the report that the city of Wellington of that state, which also has a municipal light plant, has cut the rate of electricity for cooking and heating to 2 cents per kilowatt hour. The city commissioners have in stalled various kinds of cleo trical cooking and heating for demonstra- tion and will sell the equip at cost, to encourage the use of day current.
 This reduced rate in cleo trical service, says the Kan sas report, meets the local natural gas rate of 27 cents per thousand feet.
 The lighting rate is 8 cents and the rate for motors is 5 cents.

The German Imperial
 Chancellor, von Bethman-
 Hollweg, says that the kill
 ing of American people by
 German submarines was done
 in the friendliest of spirit.
 Probably just to show the love and effection held for Americans by the Germans! Of course this makes all the difference in the world; the Germans feel so friendly to the Americans that they must kill a few occasionally just to demonstrate their friendship. Too bad the people killed did not under stand the matter properly, otherwise their dying mo- ments might have been happy.

A Warning

Breathes there a man with soul so dead
 Who never to himself hath said, My trade of late is getting bad,
 I'll try another ten-inch ad.' If such there be, go mark him well.
 For him no bank account shall swell, No angel watcheth golden stair,
 To welcome home millionaire. The man who never asks for trade
 By local line or ad displayed, Cares more for rest than worldly gain,
 And patronage but gives him pain. Tread lightly, friends, let no rude sound
 Disturb his solitude profound; Here let him live in calm repose
 Unsought except by men he owes, And when he dies, go plant him deep
 That none may break his dreamless sleep; Wherein no clamor may dispel
 The quiet that he loved so well; And that the world may know it's loss,
 Place on his grave a wreath of moss; And on a stone ''Here lies
 chump who wouldn't advertise"

Expense of Gouernorshib Contest

Expense of GoUernorship Contest
 The majority of taxpayers in the county are under the impression that the guber- material contest will increase their taxes. None of the ex- pense will be placed on the shoulders of the taxpayers in the state or county, the costs all being charged to the contestant and contestee.
 "A great many people have complained to me about the increased cost of running the superior court" Judge Stanford said recently. They believe that their taxes will be heavier on ac- of the contest. Prac- 5ically the only loss resulting from the gubernatorial con-

Hogs today 12O0O, market steady to strong, top $15.O5. Sheep today 72OO, market steady, lambs S14.95. cattle, hogs and sheep all looked lower at the start today, but mar ket on each class finished in good shape.
 Beef Cattle Steers at SIP were the best here, but a new high top is due, probably around SIP. .35, possibly more. Bulk of the steers sold at $11 to $11.75, including some 40 lay cattle from Kansas, 1162 bs. at $11.6O. Plain light steers sold at $8.50 o $8.75. There was a good 'un of pulp steers, mostly at ,11 to $11.65, one sale at ;11.85, a new high record or this class. Twelve loads if Montana hay fed steers old at $10.75 and $11, Mon ana bulls $9.

sold at $11, and New Mexico steers, 1181 lbs. at$11. Qua rantine arrivals, included Oklahoma steers and heifers, 578 lbs. at $11, reds, GA lbs. at $10.75, and five cars of Louisiana steers, 555 lbs. at $8.50. Butcher cattle sold firm, cows up to $1O.25 bulls $10, veals $12.5O
 Stockers and Feeders The market was quiet after the middle of last week, and barely steady today, stock steers at SITS to S9.75, feeders $9 to $1O.25, fleshy feeders up to $1O.8O, stock cows and heifers $6.5O to $8. 75. Predictions favor prices on country kinds.
 Hogs = Opening prices 5 lower, because of heavy sup plies around the market cir cle, but demand was strong, and the close was steady some of the best hogs selling strong to 5 higher, top S15.O5, bulk $14.5O to $14.95. Light hogs sold up to SLOTS, and pigs most at $11 to SIS, some common southern pigs at $9 to $10. The run last week was one third less than nor nal at nearly all points, be- cause of hampered railroad service, and the bottled up demand came out today with increased capacity, hence the strong close. Railroads are unable to furnish as many cars as are ordered, especially in Nebraska, hence hogs sup plies are apt to run cratic, and are hard to estimate ahead.
 Sheep and Lambs = Like cattle and hogs, lambs and sheep opened with a lower tendency, but finished strong, most of the good lambs fin ally selling at $14.75 and $14.95, some 82 lb. lambs at SAYS, heavier lambs are worth around 14.50, clipped lambs 11.50 to 1925. Easter lambs are due, and a few choice spring lambs will sell around 20 cents a pound. Feeding lambs are quiet, and sell at 1925 to IA, some shearing lambs going out up to 14.40. Wethers are worth up to 12.5O, yearlings 1850, ewes 1925, for best.

An Interesting Mar
riage Announcement

On Sunday, August 26, about 2:3O
p. M, while the officiating officer. j.
Alonzo Brown, was keeping house in
the absence of his better half and had
just got thru dinner, fed the pigs and
was sitting on the back porch with the
broom in his hand trying to keep the
chickens out of the kitchen, he heard
some one speak on the front side of the
house. On being told to come in, he
was confronted by two young men and
two talr females. Upon being invited
to have seats, one of the young men
replied that they never had time as he
had prescription" he wanted filed
very hurriedly. The officiating officer
realizing that he was not a licensed
pharmacist and very likely never had
the drugs that the prescription called
for, he began to think fast
After being handed the prescription
we very readily saw that the bearer
was laborng under a misapprehension
Instead OF prescription" for "love-
sick, as he no doubt thought it was,
1T was a mandate for a certain portion
OF his earnings when he got to France,
provided he complied with the oath he
was to take before some officiating Of
ficer
On being sworn by the officiating Of
ticer to forsake all other sweathearts
for the one he then held by the hand
and to love, nourish apd cherish her so
long as they both lived. Mr.. Hovcy
Barkley consented that, inasmuch as
Uncle Sam bore all expenses of his
soldiers in France and paid them wages,
he could send enough money back to
keep wife.
Miss Mollie Pilgrim then decided that
inasmuch as it would be better to marry
and enjoy some of the fruits Of Hovey's S
labor while in the army as to wait until
after the war to marry and then maybe
Hovey had spent it all.
All parties present agreed that the
above ideas were well conceived and
after few preliminary remarks and
and questions asked by the officiating
officer, which were answered satisfac.
torily by the contracting parties, Mr.

Work Day for Orphans

Announcement has been made to
the effect that the Thornwell Orphan
age at Clinton, the Connie Maxwell
Orphanage at Greenwood and the Ep-
worth Orphanage at Columbia will
ask all the friends in their various
constituencies to observe Saturday,
October 13, as a Work Day for or
phan children. The plan is simple and
has been tried for several years with
great success. The idea is that on
this special day every friend of each
institution will devote the income of
the day or the proceeds Of labor done
that day as contribution to the or
phan boys and girls. We are sure the
scheme will appeal to many of our
people.
