patron has found difficulty in receiv- ing desired service. It is true that changes of operators have been made and that inexperienced operators have been employed on the exchange, rendering it necessary for such an operator to become accustomed to in cident duties before service is brought to standard, but it is reas- onable to believe that sufficient period has elapsed to bring about this standard of operation.
 If the postmaster general ap- proves of the proposed advance of rates in Newport, then it certainly should be expected of the company that Newport patrons receive the quality of service to which such a compensation entities them.

that an audit covering an entire year or a period of twelve months would enable the councilmen to see their way clear to reject or grant the re- quest of the Arkansas Light X Power Company to raise rates.
 This, as we see it, is the only fair way to dispose of the matter, and we believe this is the view taken by every fair-minded citizen. No one wants to pay the Arkansas Light & Power Company more money for their service unless the company can show that it is entitled to greater rate of pay, while on the other hand there is no one who should want the plant to operate at loss if such a loss can be shown through compe- tent means.
 It is stated that expert accountants will probably begin the work of au- diting the company's books here Monday.

ASKS GOVERNOR FOR
 AN APPROPRIATION.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Aug. 31.-Representa- tives of the Boys Industrial School asked the governor for a deficiency proclamation for $12,000 to carry on the work of the institution. After a consultation with the state comp troller, w. T. Reynolds, the governor issued his proclamation for $10,0oO, to be paid out of the general reve- nue fund to provide for the current expenses of the school.
 Judge J. w. Wade, president of the board, and Supt. w. N. Deatton, sub- mitted report showing that the in- mates of the school have increased from 52 per month to 80 and some times 90 or more; the prices of ne cessities have increased within the last few months approximately 30 or 40 per cent; for several months there has been a subdivision of the work at Pine Bluff caring for from five to 25 boys, and making arrange ments for the industrial training of the boys and their transfer to the Geisreiter farm donated to the state; the former home at Pine Bluff was burned, with a lot of furnishings, necessitating rebuilding and furnish ing; the winter months, which are approaching, will mean heavier de- as juvenile delinquency is greater during that season of the year.

DIDN'T THINK SHE'D

sfTanlac Has Made Me We'll and Strong" Says Mrs. Miles-Suffer- ed 20 Years. Gained 29 Pounds.

q am now twenty mine pounds heavier than I was when began us- ing Tan1ac and I feel like a new wo- man in every way said Mrs. Annie Miles, residing at 1445 Evergreen Avenue, Jacksonville, Fla, a short time ago.
 "For twenty-five long years l suf- fered with stomach trouble and indi- gestion and tried everything I ever heard of for it, but kept getting worse all the time" she continued q just had to force myself to eat enough to keep myself alive, and what little I did eat made me suffer hours of agony, from gas that would rise on my stomach. I had awful head aches and dizzy spells constantly and was so nervous I could hardly sleep fell off in weight and got so weak and so no-account that I felt I could never be we'll again.

pensible industry, ceases to have that exemption as soon as he ceases to be an operative in that industry. The Boards have never applied that in the case of bona-fide disputes be- tween labor as an aggregate and employees as an aggregation but they have always prevented the man taking refuge behind industrial ex- emption and then discontinuing the work for which he received exemp- tion, so that the apparent purpose of the senate amendment is already in operation.
 "The reason for the exemption of married men is dependency and not status"
 In view of these orders, men en- gagged in non-essential industries and occupations should get into es- sential industry at once and stay there, in. spite of the fact that the strike clause has been stricken out of the new draft law.
 More and more it is being declar- ed the policy of the government that man must either work or fight if physically fit.

THE WATER AND
 LIGHT QUESTION

The regular meeting of the city council will be held next Monday night at the city hall, at which time < 2 it is said that the matter of granting the Arkansas Light & Power Con- pany the privilege to raise their rates on light and water will be con- sidered further. Manager Moss of X the company's local plant, said he is { not informed definitely whether H. c. Couch, president of the company, will appear here in person, and could not say that the matter would be ta- ken up Monday night at all by the company. This, he said, depended upon whether report from expert Accountants could be had at the time and placed before the councilmen, { which report would show from an au- dit of the books here whether the company is losing under the present < method of operation.
 '- The Independent has attempted to take common sense view of of the light and water situation here. It believes that an audit by expert ac- countants should be made of the company's books here and determine whether the company can show a loss from an operation of twelve months. We do not believe that an audit of the transaction of business fro one month or two months would be sufficient. But we do believe

PLANE LOADING
 |s RISKY WORK
Work of Preparing Planes For Bomb ing Germany Must Be Carried
 Out With Care and Skill.

London, July 25.- Correspond ence of The Associated Press. )-The loading of bombing airplane with bombs for raid in Germany is risky work and must be carefully done or the workers will be destroyed by their own bombs. The big, long-dis- tance airplanes carry twelve to four teen large bombs, each too heavy for man to lift. Before these are placed in the machine crew of ar morers has to prepare them by ln- serting the various fuses, detonators, and exploders in them, which trans forms a harmless case of treacly T.. N. T. into a missile of terrific burst ing force.
 These bombs are raised one by one from the ground by a bully system worked by men inside the machine, while one or two armorers on the ground below steer the unweildy yellow cylinder into it's guides, and assure themselves that it IS firmly held in the hook above before they release it. Loading fourteen bombs of this type takes some little time, and when it has been done the bombs have to be so arranged and fitted that they can be released either "safe" or "alive" by the observer.
 Meanwhile the engineers are fill ing the great petrol tanks with hun dreds of gallons of petrol, and the engines are being carefully over hauled and tested. The water tanks and oil tanks in their turn have to be examined and replenished. Car penters test the wings, the wires, and the tail-planes, and adjust the all-important central system.
 Electricians overhaul the various lighting sets, for if the lighting sys- tenn fails during flight it may cause great deal of trouble and perhaps bring disaster. Gun-layers are taking their ma chine guns to pieces for the thous- andth time, and are carefully oiling and examining every small part. The guns are then fired on the range before being mounted on the ma chine. The very light pistols and the revolvers belonging to the machine are oiled and tested to make sure the safety and the success of the ma chine and it's occupants, who have to travel at midnight several hundred miles over Germany on their mission of destruction to the great war fac tories and railway functions of the Rhenish valley,

CHANGES IN PHONE
 RATES MUST HAVE AP-
 PROVAL OF BURLESON

Washington, Aug. 30.-Under or ders issued today all changes in tele- phone rates must be submitted to Postmaster General Burleson for ap- proval before becoming effective and the companies are required to make charges for installing new telephones or changing the location of old ones.
 A statement by the postmaster general says the new changes are necessary to conserve labor and ma terial and to eliminate cost which is now borne by the permanent user of the telephone.
 Installation charges where the rate is $2 a month or less will be S5; where the rate is more than S2, but not exceeding $4 a month, will be S1O, and where the rate is more than $4 month, $15
 The moving chgrge to the subscrlb- CT will be the actual cost of labor and material necessary for making the change.

CANNING DEMONSTRATION
 AT BOWEN'S RIDGE SCHOOL

. A canning demonstration was held at Rowen's Ridge school, of which S. T. Nero is principal, on August 18th. As this is one of the progressive schools and communities in the coun- ty, there was much interest shown by the mothers and girls. The dem onstration was largely attended. Though a variety of vegetables were not obtainable, yet a demonstration in canning corn, tomatoes and sweet potatoes was successfully carried out.
 A demonstration in making peanut butter and cottage cheese has been planned for the club girls at this school. The date will be announced later
 Mrs. Mary L. Ray, the district agent of Little Rock, was in the county from the 27th to the 29th, visiting the clubs and inspecting the work. She was present at this dem onstration. A meeting was held at night especially for the farmers. They were urged to increase their food production, to cooperate with the home-makers and canning clubs, also the agent.
 I want to urge the clubs, also indi- vidual families to purchase their own canners. I will be glad to give

A few days ago the Southwestern Bell Telephone Company announced that an increase of phone rates in Newport would become effective September 1, which is tomorrow. Since the first notification of this step has been given the public, the above ruling in Washington was made. The Independent could not learn from the local exchange today whether the raise of rates in New port had been approved by the post master general in Washington, as required.
 The Independent does not wish to raise an objectional point against the advance of charges for telephone service here if such an advance is necessary for the company's adequate operation, but this paper does know that the present service does not warrant such an increase.

Of Women
Opposed by Unions at
Central Labor Meet

At a meeting of the Central Labor
union Friday night resolutions were
passed opposing the importation Of
women workers. S. c. Jackson, sec
rotary of the union, alleges that wo-
men workers are now working for
less money and at less agreeable
trades than those at which they are
most proficient because of the af-
iliat.on with labor unions. He
states that the union will oppose i'm
porta;on of workers until the re-
su;ctions have been removed. The
following was passed.
"The Omaha Central Labor union
is opposed to the idea of import
ing female war workers into Omaha
ewing to the fact that there are wo-
men here not wanted in the places
where they are the most proficient
because they have joined labor I'M
ions.
wv feel that there are a sufficient
number of female workers here in
Omaha who would be only too glad
10 do either heavy or light work
provided they are paid living wage
and are not profiteered out of their
rio',t and inst wages"

Floyd Hunt, 10 years old, 2624
North Nineteenth street, driver OF
an automobile, which ran into a
crowd on the sidewalk in front OF
the Besse theater, Twenty-fourth

tanned by the dead baby's parents,

promised that he would do every

into the crowd instead of coming
to a standsill. as it was his ipten-

Record Live Stock Run
On South Side Market
With 1896 Cars Yarded

With the arrival of S. cars of
stock Saturday this has been a rec
ord week in the stock receipts in
the Omaha market. The total run
OF cars for the week. is 3,495, which
is IL cars more than the run of the
previous record week last April,
when 3,4S3 cars were received.
The cattle run for the week to-
tailed 81 sos head, which is still short
of the record established Septem-
Der %, 1917, when 6l,S50 head ar
rived.
No new record was made on
sheep. Though the weeks arrivals
totaled l96,725, that number was
.clipsed September 20, 1918, by the
shipment OF l99,S36 head.
The heavy shipments caused much
congestion in the yards and there
was consequent decrease in prices,
but good outlet was found for
everything offered. The greatest
difficulty was in the yarding, weigh
ing and shipping, although in this
respect Omaha was no worse off
than other points.
From the heavy run of stock this
week it is expected that records will
be broken In every branch of the
Grade this year. ~. ~ ,'.-.
