SOLDIER BOY LOSES SUITCASE

The following letter was received by the sheriff's office Friday morn ing, May 16:
 Muskegon, Mich, May 10, 1919. Sheriff,
 Flagstaff, Ariz.
 My Dear Sir:
 One of our soldier boys back in March, seemed to go mentally bad, and started for the West. He blew into your town about April 1st, and seeing a freight starting East he handed his suitcase to a fellow who said his name was Morgan, and he said he belonged to the Commercial Hotel. This man Morgan told him he would keep it for him until he sent for it. The soldiers name is Charles Luloff, and he says he has lot of stuff in the case he hates to lose. Wish you would kindly try to locate it and send it to me. Thanking you in advance for anything you may do regarding this, I am
 Yours truly,
 CARL A. STAUFFER,
 Sheriff. Mir. Prochnow, of the Commercial Hotel, informs the sheriff's office that no one by the name of Morgan was working for the hotel at the time men, toned. Some mistake may have been made by the soldier boy in the name mentioned Should any one know any thing regarding this boys suitcase, please notify the sheriff's office.

ferred on the public; with this axiom
in view it is obvious that the method
pursued by two different isolated
counties in bonding to the limit for
good roads, is the wrong system. be-
cause the limit Of benefit would be
greatly extended if all the counties
constructed good roads. In other
words, let US presume that Lake
county gets the benefit of her $780,
900 in good roads, while it may fair
ly be said that all of the citizens Of
Lake county would get twice as much
benefit if the counties Of Orange,
Sumter and Marion expended a like
amount IN good roads. Travel, trade
and commerce are not limited by
county boundaries. The value OF the
good roads in Lake county is enhanc-
ed to the citizens of that county by
the extension of those roads In a
complete system into other territor-
les and the greater distance such
roads are extended In one complete
system the greater the benefit accrP
ing to Lake county by reason Of the
100000 investment she has made.
Presuming that the investment Of
Lake county in good roads is q pro-
fitable one, suppose that any man
would agree that that investment
would be doubled under the conditions
/ have mentioned. Seeing that double
advantage can only be obtained thru
it is bad public fin&n-
cling not to enforce that co-opera-
tion through the construction Of q
system Of state highways. This win
increase the ability Of some Of the
counties to pay taxes, particularly
those counties that have spent large
amounts in good roads where their
neighboring counties have not done
so. By placing these matters in the
hands Of state board with abundant
powers and providing for allowance
for fair credits to counties for the
value Of roads constructed, or a fair
adjustment with reference to those
matters, which would give such coun-
ties some fair exemption, the burden
could be equalized, but for obvious
reasons already mentioned, this
should be done by state board, and
as the roads should be constructed In
a very substantial way, bonds should
be issued for doing this work, as it
would tend to prevent the develop
ment of the state to undertake to
raise this revenue out Of current
taxes. / believe, too, that it is an
axiom IN public financing, that ex-
cept with respect to small items and
an unusually flushed condition, the
money for rorrnanopf frnrrnvownn-rko
should be raised by bonds.
Yours very truly,
William Hooker.

FUR AND A HALF
BILLION DOLLARS
At Four and Half Per Cent, Matur-
ing in Four Years, viii be the
Amount of the Victory Loan
ASSOCIATED Press)


Washington, April 14-Terms OF
the victory loan were announced yes
terday by Secretary Glass. The
amount is S4,500,O00,000, over-sub-
scriptions to be rejected.
Interest at AZ per cent. for partial
ly tax exempt notes, convertible into
81 per cent. notes wholly tax ex-
empt.
Maturity, four years, with the
treasury reserving the privilege OF
redeeming the notes in three years.
The 81 per cent. notes to be issued
later, also may be converted subse-
quently back into AZ notes.
The AZ per cent. securities are to
be exempt from state and local taxa
tion excepting state and inheritance
taxes, and from normal rates of fed
eral income taxes. The 3A per cent.
securities are exempt from all fed
eral, state and local taxes. except
estate and inheritance taxes.
The size of the loan was much
smaller than had been anticipated by
most of the close observers, who look
ed for an issue of about six billions
particularly in view of Secretary
Glass past statements that the loan
would be five or six billions.
This will be the last liberty loan,
Secretary Glass explained. although
there will be other issues of govern
ment securities to finance belated war
expenses. These will not be foated
by popular campaigns.

SHOOTING NEAR STRUMITZ
MISS EDWARDS PARTY
FOR MISS LIVINGSTON

Saturday afternoon Miss Mary
Harriet Livingston was again the at
tractive guest of honor at a charming
party given by Miss Marguerite Ed
wards. The Edwards home was dec
GRATED for the occasion with vases of
white roses. The guests were invited
to come at five o'clock and a very
pleasant hour followed. The friends
of the bride-elect were delighted to
have this time with the honoree and
of which they took advantage as she
is soon to leave them for her new
home in South Carolina. The honoree
was presented with a most attractive
hand-painted recipe book in which
each guest had been asked to write
her favorite recipe. The recipient was
delighted with the gift, as she ex.
poets to Immediately go to house
keeping after short wedding trip.
The guests were invited into the din
ing room, which was specially dec
GRATED. From the large chandelier
were hung streamers of white which
were fastened to the round table, in
center of which on a lovely lace mat
stood smiling kewpie appropriately
veiled in tulle and wreathed In lilies
OF the valley. On the table scattered
here and there were sprigs of aspar-
agus fern and lilies of the valley, and
attached to the end of the streamers
were little Easter chicks, which were
given to the guests as favors. Re-
freshments were served, buffet style,
consisting of fruit salad In apple
cups, little heart-shaped sandwiches
and iced tea and then it was that the
surprise of the afternoon occurred.
This pleasant party really turned out
to be miscellaneous shower for the
bride-elect. The whole affair had
been kept a secret, the honoree not
even knowing that there was to be a
party at her friends house. The hon.
oree's small sister, little Miss Mar
garet Livingston, dressed In dainty
pink organdie, came into the dining
rCom drawing a little white express
cart filled with the gifts that the
guests had brought, and which were
received with surprise any many ex-
clamations of delight. Assisting the
hostess in looking after the pleasure
of her guests were her mother, Mrs.
John L. Edwards and Mrs. ]. II. Liv-
ingston, mother of the guest Of honor.
Enjoying the hospitality of Miss Ed
wards were: Misses Annie Pope
Eagleton, Caroline Harriss, Mabel
Meffert, Adela AK, Ruth Rentz. EN-
ma Perry, Elizabeth Davis, Lois Liv-
ingston, Blair Woodrow, Mary Shep-
pard and Mrs. w. J. Edwards.

ISOLATED PLANTS
AND ECONOMY

We wonder how far the general
public has come to realize the very
grave economic changes in power pro-
duction which have occurred within
the last few years. Undoubtedly ii
feels them, and engineers have come
to grasp them fully. Yet, in spite OF
all this, there are hundreds, yes thou
sands, of isolated plants operated at
what must really be serious loss to
their owners. With cheap labor and
cheap coal the difference between the
cost of power purchased and power
generated may be comparatively
small. AS coal and labor go up the
operating costs of a plant with a
poor load factor rise at an appalling
rate, and even when the load factor is
fairly good the difference in economy
between a big plant and small one
is formidable.
AS things stand today the absolute
cost of fuel has on the whole more
than doubled and the cost of labor
has risen in about the same degree.
Moreover, the former shows no hope
full indications of dropping and the
latter very plain symptoms of rising
A standard eight-hour day comes
pretty nearly being an accomplished
fact in general industry, and longer
working periods can usually be main
tanned only at considerable wage in
crease. Whether this element in the
cost of power is to be maintained per-
manently at present high level may
be open to question, but wages are
not likely to come down without re-
duction in the cost of living, and the
latter waits on the former in an eco
nomic deadlock. The coal costs are
likewise unlikely rapidly to be reduc-
ed.
The result of these changes on the
isolated plant is nearly or quite to
double the actual cost of energy per
kilowatt hour. In some instances il
is increased even more, and the added
cost of replacement and repairs at
present is still another serious item
for consideration. Meanwhile, al
though most central stations have
been forced to adopt coal clause,
there is very little doubt that such in
creases of price as they have been OBJ
liged to make are far less than the
added charges that overWhelm the
producer of power on small scale. 1t
is therefore time for a very thorough
overhauling of the whole question of
costs by those who are operating in
dependent plants and striking anew
the balance sheet between power pur-
chased and power produced.
The great increase In central sta
tion loads from the realization of this
situation is, of course, already OBJ
vious; but we doubt very much
whether any considerable percentage
of the isolated plants which would
actually profit by changing to central
station service have even yet come
over. The same forces that are
building up great networks supplied
from a few big stations replacing
plants locally active, make the eco
nomic condition of the small power
producer conspicuously bad, so that
he now would profit by shutting down,
even if it were necessary to under
take a considerable transmission from
an economic source in order to get his
