Highbinders Squealing Like Stuck Pies-Watch for Paid Write-Ubs

The shoe beginning pinch The Los Angeles hghbnd the handwriting the wall They begin realize the people of Yuma yet ready surrender their birthright smp accommodate the Los Angeles of the local public utility corporations But the slogan has gone forth-"cut out the rough stuff'
 That's exactly what say-"cut out the rough stuff" Be decent Treat the people of Yuma though they free people, slaves Give them least sembance of fair treatment Give them light power, gas and water at thing what other cities of like size have pay Don't force them pay $75 per thousand for gas when be manufactured and sold profit less than half that price Don't charge them twice much for electric light and three four times much for the power your fans is charged elsewhere Don't charge them much for that amounts robbery Cut all that kind of rough stuff and the people will meet you than half way.
 Don't try to palm off old junk shop the people for $7 O0O when expert from Kansas City years ago valued $4OOOO and your valuation very recently but $75OOO That's the kind of rough stuff the peo pie cut out and if you don't it yourselves the people will eventually cut it out for you.
 That's my advice to the highbnderS from Los Angeles
 Now go ahead with your paid wrteups. The people will be wise enough election day through the whole scheme The TraSk report anything but satisfactory the property with whom have conversed. They such debt sadded them this particular period They willing pay $17 OOO for lot of old junk What they willing to be taxed for is municipal ownership and this means plant entirely the old at price that is not brazen robbery.
 Our streets have been up for several months with not effort made put them back anything like decent condition private citizen to commit such nuisance he would be taken before within twenty four hours Why those Los Angeles hghbinders any better than our own citizens? Why should they be allowed to do just they please and at the time charge the citizens than decency allows? They are so mad that when they ordered replace the mud dy water pipes, and to lower them places they have order here from Los Angeles that the city will have make other arrangements for fire signal They going do away with the old trap whistle entirely They therefore make the first towards the slogan to cut out the rough stuff In the meantime the city authorities should force them repair the rapidly as possible and not let them remain eyeore for months stretch In all other cities streets are torn up and repaired block a time. Why can't the rule be enforced here?
 This article written last Saturday. There will be other article in this issue telling of the city council meeting Tuesday night at which time it hoped the aldermen will think twice before they put the $3OOOOO bond issue before the people and recommend that the old trap be purchased at $171 ,OOO But we will see.

M4XWELL BREAKS CANADIAN
RECORD.

Makes Run From windsor to Toronto
i'm Two Hours Less Than Former
Time.
The possibility of a motor car be-
ing used as a bearer of important war
dispatches has been demonstrated In
Canada by Ray Mcnamara, road en-
gineer for the Maxwell Motor Com
Dany. Inc, of Detroit while he was
using a Maxwell touring car to blaze
path for Canadian motorists.
Mcnamara established a record
without a parallel in the history OF
Canadian motordom. He covered the
275 miles from Windsor to Toronto
in six hours and fifty minutes or &C
tual running time. The elapsed time
was seven hours and forty-tour min
utes
Heavy rains over seventy miles OF
the course made the roads nearly I'M
passable. Travelling of any kind was
difficult.
Putting things mildly this trip was
about the nearest thing to aeroplan-
ing that | have ever experienced,
wired the road engineer to the Max
we'll company.
The trip from Windsor to Toronto
was better by two hours than the I'M
official record.
So we'll had the Maxwell car per-
formed that Mcnamara and the two
passengers carried with him were
compelled to wait for the newspaper
men and Maxwell dealer to appear on
the ground The trail blazer arrived
in Toronto sixteen minutes ahead OF
schedule time.

E<cane Through Roof.

Officer John Gang, employed by the
Western Maryland Railway as an Off
ger at Pen-Mar Park, is lamenting the
fact that he lost three prisoners over
night. Gang arrested on Saturday as
train riders three men who had beat
their way east from San Francisco.
Being late in the afternoon and as
there We're no more trains scheduled
for SmithsbUrg. Md, where prisoners
are usually taken for trial, Gang de-
cidcd to place them in the lookup at
the park overnight and take them
away early Sunday morning. The
lookup is a wooden structure. having
been built when the park was first
opened, nearly 40 years ago.
The next morning the prisoners
were gone. They had succeeded in
tearing hole through the shingle
roof and escaping into the mountains.

That Bad Back.

Do you have a dull, steady ache In
the small of the back-sharp, stahbing
twinges when STOPPING or lifting-dis-
tressing urinary disorders? For bad
back and weakened kidneys Westmin-
ster residents recommend Doan's Kid
ney Pills. Read this Westminster
statement.
Mrs. C. V. Bankert, "a Pennsyl-
vania avenue, Westminster, says:
About six years ago I had a severe
attack of kidney trouble and suffered
very much. My back panied me and
I felt so bad that 1 couldn't do my
homework. The kidney secretions
were scanty and contained sediment
My doctor didn't help me much SO
Wien a friend told me OF Doan's Kidney
Pills, 1 got a box at the Shaw Drug
Co. I Immediately saw great relief
still use Doan's Kidney Pills whenever
| need them, as they are a wonderful
kidney medicine"
Price Coo, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy-get
Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that
Mrs. Bankert had. Foster Milburn
