Let There Be Light

About year ago the people of Carlisle were promised a 24.honr light service, which was to be in operation by the first of July. It Is now eight months past that time and we seem no nearer the service than we were when the promise was made If there ever was a time when we needed that kind of service now is the time as the country is infested with criminals of almost every de- Scription, who always take occa sion to commit their deeds in the dark Carlisle should wake up to the fact that an all night light service is necessity. and should see that we set it. The town could put in plant and a sewer age and water works combined and pay for 1t in a few years and not miss the money The amount paid out for scavenger work each year would more than pay tor a
 water and sewerage system in ten or fifteen years and we would
 have the benefit of them all dur. ing the time that we were paying
 for them. The net income from
 lights and the saving to the town by furnishing their own lights
 would pay for the light plant in
 a few years and the people would
 get the benefit of a much lower
 rate for the service which could
 be had under municipal owner
 ship. There is reason 10 believe
 that the company that was to give us the 24>hour service over did the thing by gobbling up ev- cry little light plant in this sec tion. TLere has been much complaint of the poor service
 that has been given in other towns where they have been op- erating during the past year. Let CarIisle's Board If Com merce get busy on a light, water and sewer proposition.

The DairJmens Bank has a half page advertisement in this issue of the Independent urging the citizens to buy war saving stamps. This is good evidence of the patriotic spirit of this pro- gressive financial institution. Every stamp purchased is that much money expended for good cause that will return to the spender with good interest. The buying of thrift stamps is a good investment and it will pay you to read the large advertisement do- mated by the Dairymens Bank that appears in this issue and let the good work go on.

The season of the year is here
 for cleaning up the town and a
 day, or two or three days. if nee, essary, should be set for that
 purpose. All the ditches in the
 town should be thoroughly clean
 cd out and opened up so that all
 the surface water would be car
 ried of quickly after d rain. All the filth in the streets and alleys should be collected and hauled away A general cleanup should be made and it should be done thoroughly making the task much more easily done through the summer months. This will add greatly to the health of the town and give our little city much more presentdble appear ance to strangers and people  looking out location for a busi- ness or a home It will not be long until the warm weather will set in and then it's time to see that the place is rid of all the tin cans and buckets that have accu mulated during the winter sea son. Coal oil on the top of your rain barrel will help to rid your place of the dreaded mosquito. who is very unpleasant guest. Lets clean up and make Carlisle one of, if not the most pleasant places in the state to i've.

Warning Issued Against Scheme to
 Swindle Farmers

Another scheme for swindling the farmers of the United States has been discovered by Federal Farm Loan Board. A man ad- vertising himself as an author. ized organizer of national farm loan associations is sending out dvertising matter emblszoned with the national flag, stating that he will organize such associ ations at $500 each, and will teach others the trick for a certain sum of money. His advertisements have reached farmers and busi ness men over a large part of the United States. He claims to be so busy organizing national farm loan associations that he needs help, but will take time to teach others for monetary consid- eratlOn.
 All such representations are fraudulent. In order to borrow under the farm-loan act, 1t is necessary for farmers to orga- nize cooperative national farm loan associations in their local communities. It Is a violation of a ruling ot the Federal Farm Loan Board, published more than year ago, for a national farm loan association of a joint stock land bank to spend any money for promotion purposes Associations thus organized will not be chartered by the Federal Farm Loan Board Farmers are warned therefore against any one asking a fee for his proffered services in connection with ap plying for loan under the Fed era farm loan act.

TO consider why Street
l "bunches" instead of b
This is question often asked, and expresses
reasonable complaint respecting an important tea
ture of Street Car Service.
We know that many of patrons after hav-
ing waited minute after minute for Street Car with
none in sight, have been indignant and justly so.
Of course we do not intend to Our Cars in
"bunches and make every possible effort to pre-
vent it. If all Cars all lines time, Cars will
pass any given point at regular intervals whether
that means every ten minutes or every three min
utes That is the plan do our best to follow, al
though we regret to say that many times we fall
short of doing So
If the traffic on certain Car Line warrants
car every five minutes, that is the service we en-
deavor to give. Purely business proposition, it
pays us to have Cars operate with clocklike pre-
cison and regularity. If it is ten minute service,
we aim to have the Cars pass exactly ten minutes
apart. Any deviation from this is expensive to the
Company and inconvenent to its patrons, Just IN
proportion to the extent of such deviation.
IF WE COULD ONLY KEEP ALL OUR
CARS ON TIME-that is the great problem. 1t
is practically impossible, during the rush hours
especially, to keep all Cars time, and when one
Car gets behind time, the following Cars catch up
with it, which results in 'bunching" Of Cars on that
line.
There are various contributing causes such as
extreme weather conditions, washouts with sand on
the track in the summer time, and billiards with
snow and ice the track in the winter time; fires,
