Over; City's Children
Start Back to School

ton for between 1000 and 5000 school
pupils Of the city.

Der of pupils entering the high schools.
This is due to the large number Of
young men who have dropped out of

enlist in the service or war work, and
who are now returning.
The public schools were also re.

Other than the treaty developments
little important work is expected this

the Capitol.
Long Debate Expected.

ports Of the foreign relations commit

nearly forty, are under fire, negotia
tions will proceed as to mild OF

are regarded as the crux Of the entire
controversy. Indefinite debate. is ex

MILLER URGES THAT
FARMERS ORGANIZE

"Why the farmers should organize"
was the theme of an address by H.
Miller, Of the state federation Of far
mers associations, to Wayne county
branch in the courthouse Monday aft
ernoon.
Miller laid emphasis on the fact that
the farmer in the state was yet poorly
organized, and urged good, thoroughly
organized leagues.
He told how the miners organiza-
tion, composed only of about 10000
members in the state, got legislation
through the state body to their ad-
vantage, simply because they are Or
ganiZed and have backing.
The farmers need legislative COM
mittee," continued the speaker. Some
one to look after their interests at the
state Legislature. Unless they have a
legal committee 1t is impossible to get
through good, practical legislation.
Everybody knows the size of the tax
bill, the various workmen's compensa-
tion acts. Now how can any one man
know and understand everything and
every point contained in a bill that
siZe?"
E F. Murphy, local agriculture agent
also addressed the body, which was
called to order by Walter Fulghum,
one of the vice-presidents of the asso-
citation. Many farmers were present
at the meeting, which was held in the
Circuit Court room. Murphy was
placed in charge of the central work
of the county federation, under Harry
Macy, president.

GAS RATE RISE
ASKED OF CITY
BY N. JOHNSON
Big Increase in Prices Made
by Logan Gas Company to
Local Concern.

An increase in the natural gas rate
in Richmond Is imminent, probably
effective, Oct. l.
Nimrod Johnson, manager Of the
Richmond Light, Heat and Power COM
pany, informed the board of works of
the nee essity of an increase Monday.
No decision was reached at the meet
ing.
Johnson told the board that the Lo-
gan Natural Gas and Fuel company,
which supplies his company with the
product, had raised the prices, from
% cents per 1000 cubic feet, to 35
cents, an increase of 50 percent. ef-
fective, Oct. /.
To meet this increase, the Rich
mond company will have to boost its
rates or shut off the natural gas and
manufacture the artificial product.
City Non-committaI
The city did not indicate what it's
attitude toward the requested increase
would be.
change" said Johnson. we will have
TO furnish it with artificial gas. The
Logan company has increased its rates
to other companies that buy its gas"
Definite action on the proposed
change probably will follow a meeting
Cf the city attorney with the board
of works, at which the new rate sche-
dule will be discussed.
The increase asked for gas by the
company will probably be a fifteen
cent rise for all rates, according to a
statement by City Attorney Byram
Robbins. Monday, after conferences
with Johnson. However, this is not
final. The letter of the Logan com
pany to Johnson follows:
Dear Mr.. Johnson Replying to
your letter of August 13, in which you
request further information concern
ing the natural gas service and the
wholesale rate at which we can fur
nish gas curing the coming winter,
may we not be permitted, before ans
wering these inquiries, to first briefly
refer to the insufficiency in the rate
at which gas has been furnished to
your company during past years.
Established on Low Costs.
THAT rate, as you know, was es-
| tablished in 1913 upon the basis of the
extreme low costs then prevailing,
when no human being could conceive
the era of high costs which has been
followed and extended through subse'
Quent years.
mo doubt you fully realize that the
| present rate we are charging your
! company for natural gas, long since
| became insufficient to offset the tre
menodus increases in all the elements
entering into our investments, and op
| Grating costs, including materials, lab
or, taxes, malntainence and other
large items of expense, and in addition
| that it utterly fails to provide an ade
| Quate return upon such an extensive

their reason for claiming greatness,
this afternoon when Pat Moran's Reds
trimmed the Quakers, 10 to 2, at Ex-

hibition games. the Reds started the
contest with their regular lineup. and
gave the local fans some regular base
ball for four innings.

get mixed up, and at the end of the
game Ivy Wingo was playing short
