BILL PROVIDING
FOR POWER PLANT
INTRODUCED IN NY.

Senator Graves, Buffalo, introduced
a bill in the Senate creating the Nj
agara Hydroelectric Power Commits
sion, which is to build, operate and
maintain state powerhouse on the
state reservation in Niagara Falls and
to generate electricity and distribute
it at cost to the communities of West
ern New York. The bill appropriates
$3.50, 900, of which not to exceed $275,-
600 is made available during 1917.
The proposed commission under the
provisions of this measure is to con-
sist of three persons appointed by the
Governor with consent of the Senate.
The commission may take from the
Niagara river 4,400 cubic feet of water
per second, returning such water to
the river at some convenient place. 1t
may also take, with the consent of the
majority of the city council of Niagara
Falls, whatever water diversion may
belong to that city for sanitary pur-
poses or uses and the electrical power
developed therefrom shall be deliver
ed to the city, provided it shall pay
the cost of generation and transmits
sion. A similar bill was introduced in
the Assembly last year, but failed to
pass.-From Electric Review.

LOCAL CONCERN

OVER THE STATE

The extent of the progress made by
the Dauphin Electrical Supplies Com
pany, John S. Musser, president, can
probably be better judged by the
mention of few of the many con-
tracts executed by them throughout
the State. some of which are the
Home of the INDECENT, Holmesburg

Schools at shamokin, Mt. Carmel, To-
wanda, Canton and Mannheim, the

Preparing An Old Electric
TOaSter For Hatter'S Use

In the better class of stores dealing
in mems hats it is the custom to brush
each hat carefully before it is wrap
ped up for the purchaser. The idea
is not only to remove the dust which
may have accumulated while the hat
was on the shelves, but also to smooth
the surface fibers. If the latter is done
by means of warm wooden pad strok-
ed around the hat in one general di-
rection, the fibers are all arranged
evenly and given pleasing gloss
which at once indicates a new and
usually high-priced hat.
A halter told about this little trick.

MANY Big JOBS
TOTHE CREDIT OF
ELECTRICAL FIRM

Many notable residences and. large
buildings have been wired and sup
piled with electrical fixtures and ap-
pliances by the Dauphin Electrical
Supplies Company, John S. Musser,
president. Each job is supervised by a
competent foreman and every me-
chanic is an expert. All work, no
matter how large or small is taken
care of in the same careful manner
and must give perfect satisfaction. The
proof of this is the ever increasing
growth and success of this progress
sive firm.
Among the many important build
ings wired and supplied with fixtures,
etc are the Donaldson building, all the
Bell telephone buildings, Standard
Baking Company, Schmidt's bakery,
Dauphin Cigar Company, Moorhead

EMPLOYEES COURTESY WINS

EMPLOYEES COURTESY WINS
CUSTOMERS FAVOR
Service is one of the chief standards
by which the success of a business Or
ganization is measured. There should
be engendered a feeling of thorough
cooperation and good fellowship be-
tween the public and any public SER
vice company. 1t is an asset that which
can be developed to a great degree.
The following letter was received by
the Merchants Heat & Light Com
pany, of Indianapolis. Ind, from the
Nonnegut Hardware Company, of that
city, and speaks for itself:
"Gentlemen:-I have had the con-
ditions below happen so persistently
consistently that l believe it will
interest you. Talked with men regard
ing light service in first place and
they were extremely courteous. Pur-
chased lamps from young lady and
she was courteous. Talked over tele-
phone regarding meter being in wrong
place and he was courteous Talked
with another regarding system of
sending me cards to read meter on
account of no one being home so your
man could get in and you had put
meter inside house and he was cour-
teous. Last night lights went out and
after waiting for a couple of hours
got in touch with your man and to
my surprise he was more than cour-
teous. He eeXplained just what the
trouble was and that he had man or
men out then (and you did. ! am sure
any company would like to hear the
report as above regarding their men,"

In winter he used to keep a pad oil
two on a steam radiator ready for
use. With the approach of milder
weather when little steam is needed
for heating he was at a loss as to a
convenient and safe method for warm
ing the wooden pads. Having an old
electric toaster at home he adapted
it for his use. 1t was one of the hori-
zontal type which had been discarded
because of the common burning of
bread crumbs that fell upon the heat

of the woolen pads becoming ignited

that it would not burn when put over

 Isn't it time that the people wake up and demand an accounting?
 Or they satisfied to let the board of supervisors pick it's friends and boost their salaries and the sal ay of those they do not just exactly take fancy to?

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS STRAINS AT GNATS AND SWALLOWS BIG DOSE OF IRE
 IMPEACHMENT AND REFORM"

At it's last meeting the board of supervisors took it into their heads to partially revouonze the salary list of coun ty employees.
 But the revolution only applied adversely to lone little woman.
 Mrs Clarence Dunbar the efficient and panStakng chief clerk the county recorder had her salary o SIPS per month reduced $10O while the county surveyors salary was boosted from $50 to S75 and the assistant county attorney received boost of $25 per month The salary of the county surveyors bookkeeper most eSm able lady was allowed remain SIPS per month, but no such good luck overlook the assistant county assessor nor the assistant county treasurer and the other member of the genter for their salaries remain the same as that paid the courthouse antor-$OO per month
 lust why the salary of one lone little woman should be cut down $25 per month and that of big husky boosted $25 per month each rather strange to the average And yet it is in perfect keeping with the boards action ignoring the just claim of Mrs Shanssey as successor her amented husband and giving the job the Col Shanssey had twice defeated the polls.
 That may be good Democratic politics, but life long Democrat fail in that light If the good of Yuma county do not register vigorous protest against the supervisors responsible for these outrageous transactions then will always think they do know what best for their interests There is such thing rubbing in just little too deep The voters Of this county will probably ounumber the the coming election and they do up with the offend ing supervisors will miss my guess.
 By critcizng the board of supervisors for raising the salary of the county surveyor and the assistant county at torney do not to say that they are worth that much for of fact they faithfully dscharg ing their duties they worth But do say that the chief clerk of the county recorder worth as much the job worth and it has never been less than SIPS per month since the office created by the statehood laws The fact of the worth than before for the county increases in

more disagreeable, and more danger ous, but that is no reason for shirking the duty.
 This is not an academic question with me. I am perhaps too much ad- vanced in years for active military service, but I have two sons, neither of them subject to conscription, who have volunteered. One of them, as member of the Missouri field artil- lery, served his time on the Mexican border, and has just finished his course of training at Fort Riley and has been commissioned as captain of field artillery in the officers reserve corps. Like his comrades at that camp, he will do his duty as that is prescribed for him by the constituted authorities of his country. The other has assisted in organizing a company of field artillery in Iowa, and has been hOnOred by his comrades with

the position of senior first lieutenant.
 Every consideration of the welfare of our people determines me against any discrimination. It means that lines of descent shall become per petual lines of clevage, resulting in discordant nationality, with vary ing rights and duties for it's different parts. That there should be ques- tion by some of our citizens of the loyalty of others is a matter of pro- found regret, but to submit to sus- picion is to confirm rather than to repel it. In the past history of this country there never has been sug- gestion of "exempting German-Amer- ican citizens from actual military ser vice at the front" or from any other duty to which any other citizen might be called. And so let it be now and ever hereafter.

GERMAN AMERICANS LOYAL
 TRUE SERVICE KNOWS NJ HYPHEN

The repugnance to fighting ones own kindred is natural one, but cir cumstances may make such fighting unavoidable. It was so in our Civil war, in which my father took his part. Men of German ancestry were found upon both sides. They were in the charge of Pickett's division and they were in the lines that re- pelled that charge. More than this brother in that war fought against brother and father against son.
 That our own soldiers of German birth and of German ancestry may be subjected to unjust question of their loyalty is unfortunately true This will make their duty more difficult,

National Food Administrator Herbert C. Hoover, the man California loaned to Bel gium and the United States government in this present war crisis is as ardent and un- compromising an advocate of the liberty loan for everybody as he is food director. From Hoover the following message has come to the men and women of the Twelfth Federal Reserve district: "The first service of this country in this war is to provide the allies with money that they may pay for their food and supplies from this country. Our second duty is to provide our own government with money that we may build ships to transport these supplies and to raise and equip an army to replace the wastage of the allied manhood in the trenches "The obligation upon prop erty to support these issues is just as great as the obligation upon our manhood to sacrifice
 itself in battle It is the duty of every man and woman in this country to subscribe for the loan with no more regard for his own con- venience or the terms of the loan than our soldiers show for their pay when they go into action" Liberty bonds are for every man, woman and child.

''CAMlLLE" AT FOX'S
THEATER SUNDAY

Sunday will bring to Fox's what
will have to be branded as an alto
gether extraordinary show. 1t is sell
dom, indeed, that the screens most
famous actress, and most famous and
popular fun-maker are shown at one
entertainment, especially when one
considers that either of the two is
an absolute guarantee to fill any
theater at any time. They are Theda
Bara, that talented Fox prOtege, who
Is reaching the climax of her artistic
career, and Charlie Chaplin, the man
with the high school pedal extremi-
ties, and each is coming in the latest
subjects released. "Camille' is prob
ably the best known piece of litera-
, ture that has ever been dramatized.
/ There has never been an actress yet
, who has not secretly aspired to play
the title role, but on the spoken stage
. there has been only one successful
Camille, and that was Bernhard. 1t
has been attempted on the screen
several times. but never before has
there been a screen actress capable
of handling it. and never before has
it been produced on the extravagant
scale that the story Itself demands
But now, at last, there is a real
screen Camllle, ana, as mas been pro-
phesied by longheaded critics, Miss
Bara will go down in history as the
actress who made the work mo-
, ton picture possibility. Fer emo
tional scenes are equally as good, and
in many respects superior to Bern
hardt's. And as for the production
itself, it is only necessary to an
nounce that the picture was produced
by William Fox, and in consequence
there is not a technical nor dramatic
imperfection in the whole eight reels
that the work consumes.
AS for Charlie Chaplins new We.
hicle-well, it has everything else
that he ever did. just back right of
the boards. The title is THE AID
venturer" and from what we already
know of Charles past history, it Is
easy to assume that anything that he
will admit is an adventure, must be
as full of action as possible. Both
"Camille' and THE Adventurer" will
be held over for three days.

in her best vehicle, THE Law OF
The Land" she added hundreds OF
New Britain people to her long list
of ardent admirers, and justly so, for
she truly achieves wonderful sue
cess.
The Law OF The Land" is ONE of
the most engrossing and truly dra-
matte stories ever filmed. The basis
of the theme is old, but the manner
of it's development is replete with
sensational moments and surprising
twists and turns. One never knows
what to expect, and when he does ex-
pect the development along one line
it never fails to do just opposite to
his expectations.
The big heartedness of a police
lieutenant, and his ability to read into
human character alone saves che
woman from the gallows and allows
the sun to creep through menacing
clouds. From start to finish, The
Law Of The Land" claims its audi
ence and never for a moment releases
it's clasp. From the Rialto theater,
New York, where people stood twenty
deep and watched the unraveling of
the gripping theme, to New Britain,
is considerable Of jump, but the
artist and her art has arrived and is
worth seeing. 1t will be shown for
the last time today.
Elsie Ferguson, conceded by many
to be the most beautiful woman on
the speaking stage, will make her
debut to New Britain audiences
Thursday in "Barbary Sheep and
she will remain until Saturday In
this story. where east meets west.
there are strange happenings, and the
story, with its plot laid in wild AL
geria, is a thriller. The climax sends
it's. shaft home with a penetrating
thrust, and brings the plot through
with smash. Miss Ferguson
achieves degree of dramatic sue
cess in this picture that she failed
to reach in even her most successful
stage plays.
On today's program will be the Ly
ceum Weekly and several other good
pictures.
