MATTER OF MUCH IMPORTANCE
Official Hearing to be Held in City on
Electric Schedules

On Wednesday next, at two o'clock,
the state railroad commission viii hold
public hearing in Viroqua to listen
to arguments, for and against the
question of increasing electric light
and power rates. The company asks
the utility commission for permission
to make substantial increase. It will
be the privilege, as well as it should
he a duty Of citizens to attend upon
this important inquiry. The Censor
realizes that everything in use has a
marked increase in price We be-
lieve, however, that our people are
now amply paying for the service we
have from the company If there is a
higher schedule IN the state we are
not SO advised. In fact some towns
similarly situated have much lower
schedules for both light and power
These facts and conditions should
be carefully and rightly presented at
,he hearing. We urge, tho. that the
city should be well represented by in
5prested citizens.

TWO Heroes Remembered.

Jasper county, Indiana, was named in honor of Sergeant Jasper of the Revolutionary army because of his spe. cial patriotism and bravery. He was sergeant in a South Carolina regiment And in the attack on Fort Moultrie, early in the war, the flagstaff was shot off and the flag fell to the bottom Of the ditch outside of the works. Jump Ing from enc of the embrasures, Jasper mounted the colors, tied them to a staff and held them in position under a bot fire until another flagstaff was brought. For this q. commission was offered him but he declined 1t through llistrust of his qualifications. On an. other occasion he and another sergeant named Newton sttacked British guard of ten men and released some prisoners the guard were conveying to Savannah. A township in Jasper coun. ty as named Newton in honor of Jas per's companion on this occasion. A county in Georeia and central square In Savannah help to perpetuate Jas, per's name He was killed at Savannah near the close of the war.

TELEPHONE TALK.

The public service commission of ln- diana has upheld the right of free and practically unlimited speech over the telephone.
 At hearing at Columbus the tele phone company sought to charge toll rates fer rural lines where in the past free service has been given. The com pany urged as one reason in support of the application, that there was too much unnecessary talk over the lines, So overburdened were the wires with casual conversation, that patrons with really important messages often had to wait long time before they could get their calls through.
 The decision hinged solely on whether or not there was undue con- gestion because of frivolous conserva- tion, and the commission decided that on the ccmpany's own showing the lines were not overburdened.
 None the less, there is too much use less talk over the telephone. Particu- larly is this so at the present time when there are frequent hurry-up mes sages that demand immediate atten- tion. "Visiting' by telephone should be discouraged A good telephone service is an item in war efficiency;

What War Does.

For those who go to war the victory is not always to the strong nor the race to the swift. One of the seeming ly paradoxical things taught by the conflict between the states was that recruits who seemed to the ordinary observer to be too frail and small to stand the ngors of war almost uni. formly developed into tough and reli. able soldiers, often more 50 than their bulky and athletic brethren. The test of the battlefield has proved that many a man who had been timid and considered himself a coward was in reality braver than the swashbuckler who had sneered at him back home. Men who have been disgraceful fail. ures in civil life have been converted In the fire of WAT into leaders of high ability.

WHY D0 ALL DOCTORS PRESCRIBE CALOMEL?

Of all medicines in the world doc tors prescribe calomel most often and depend upon it most universally reason-wbat IS it?
 If you will study the doctors books you will find that the medical author tics prescribe calOmcl for almost every disease. The reason is that Calomel is the greatest and only thorough sys- tenn purifier. It makes the liver ac- tive, drives out the poisons from the stomach, bowels and kidneys and thereby purifies the blood. Calomel puts the entire system in the most favorable condition for Nature to ex- ercise her recuperatiye power. Your doctor will tell you that drugs mere ly assist Nature That is why he prescribes calomel so often.
 The new kind of calomel, called "Calotabs.' is refined and purified from all of the nauseating and danger
 GUS qualities of the old style calomel
 and is rapidly taking it's place. for it is mroe effective than the old style calo
 mel as a liver cleanser and system
 purifier. One Calotab- at bedtime ! with swallow of ws,ter-that's all l No nausea, nor the slightest unpleas- l antnesa Next morning you awake
 feeling fine-with a hearty appetite
 for breakfast. Eat what you please

 tions of habit or diet.
 Calotabs are sold only in original
 sealed packages, price thirty-five cents. Recommcnded and guaranteed

British war expenses for the coming year are estimated at $l4,0OO, ,000, ,000, of which onethird will be paid OUT OF TAXATION Britain has a popula- ticn of only 4S,O00,000 To squeeze tho tremendous sum of between four and five billion dollars out of that number by direct taxation makes extra ordinary demands upon the British purse.
 In Great Britain, as in every other country, the masses arc not as wealthy as the classes; the income of the or dnary mortal is as nothing com pared with the income of the socalled "upper-ten" Consequently the direct taxes levied hit the latter nearly eNclu- sively.
 One cannot raise five billions in taxes year by charging penny more fer stamps, putting a tax on tea, sugar or soap; not at all. Such huge taxes are raised by unmercifully taxing large incomes and by levying what some good folk would call on "confis- tatory" excess profit tax.
 Indeed. it is necessary i'll England that as large proportion of the cost of the war as is possible be paid for by direct taxes now. The British debt now stands at $39,OO0 100000, includ- ing sS,OOO,O0O,OOO loaned to her allies. It would be unwise for England to let the great debt pile up more than is necessary.
 There is no doubt in the least that the United States could pay a larger percentage of the cost of the war by taxation, instead of depending so heavily upon the sale of bonds. We would have to place the latter anyhow, but not so much. On the other hand, if the war lasts few years lcnger, we will be forced into greater direct taxation, just as was the ease in England. ThereS are elements in our population that want to stave this off as long as possible, but the intelligent section of our statesman ship realizes that the era of greater direct taxation is not far distant.
 Of course, very few are going out of their way to bring on this greater taxation era-nothing is so unpopular as taxes. But money obtained by

Hamp Williams, state fcod admins trator, and Henry Moore, Jr., repre- scnting the Arkansas ginners, manag- cd to present the Arkansas cotton mems side of the controversy growing out of food administration regulations, at conference in Memphis Wednes- day. Representatives of the national food administration heard the recon mendations at a hearing to secure in formation on these questions:
 Should the food administration fix the price of seed?
 What is the cost of ginning?
 What is the cost of handling seed by the seed buyer?,
 Should the plantation gin be placed on the same basis as the custom gin
 Farmers and ginncrs contend that under the present regulations they suf- fer financial loss. Among other things they asked that oil men be permit cd to hold cotton seed 7S days instead of 52; that ginners and seed dealers be allowed profit of $2.00 per ton 50 cents for loading charges and two per cent from the mills for shrinkage; that for Arkansas figures be passed on an estimated 40 gallons of oil to 300 pounds; that 30 cents per 100 pounds be allawed for ginning.
 Mir. Moore declared that increased costs made 30 cents per 100 pounds necessary to assure fair profit to the ginners, and that the other recom- mendations would enable the farmer to obtain better price for his seed than he obtained this year.
