snap. dash, fire, romance, youth,
thrills, excitement, big scenes and

This opinion is being echoed by

being amazed by the magnitude and
immensely of the big scenes: they

Saratoga, and they are leaving the
theaters after seeing ''The Whip" de-
claring that it is the biggest motion
picture in the world.

Are You Interested In Saving $18O,O0'
More for the People of Madison?

Madison voters will soon decide whether they will incur an Indebtedness of
100000 to build a new Electric Light and Power Plant, or will contract for
a supply of electricity at wholesale from the Northern States Power Com
pany, without any new debts or capital expenditures.
This seems to be plain business proposition, the principal question being,
"What will be most economical and satisfactory for the citizens OF Madi-
SON." .
Our Company has already submitted a fair and liberal offer to the city in
the form of a proposed contract, which is on file at the office of City Audi
tor Rae, and which may be examined by any citizen n engineering repre-
sentative.
This offer proposes to furnish electricity on a wholesale basis to the City
of Madison for a period of fifteen Or more years at a very low rate.
If accepted the city would continue to own and operate it's
electrical business
but it would buy electrical energy already manufactured, instead of man.
ufacturing the current itself. In other words, instead of purchasing fuel,
machinery, etc, it would purchase power produced n a large plant, which
can always manufacture cheaper than a smaller plant.
According to the estimates of dninterested engineers the city will save
about $4,000 a year by PURCHASING electricity, compared with the cost
of making it in a new plant. The saving will be greater than this as the
quantity of electricity used in Madison increases.
A minimum saving of ST., 900 a year will amount to $780,
600 in fifteen years, on the terms of the proposed
contract.
The reason why the Northern States Power Company is offering this ad-
