CITY-OWNED ELECTRIC
 PLANT PAYS PROFIT

Yielding to efficient manage
 ment, the electric light plant
 owned by the city is taking on a
 new lease of life, and the defi- cit that used to "bust the backs of the taxpayers is gradually
 being turned into a profit and is becoming larger and larger each month. "Hustlin' g Jerry Lee, stated yesterday that the plant this month would net a profit of about $500 and that even that profit could be in creased in following months as the use of electricity becomes more universal.
 Of course this change is due to two or three causes. But the more apparent reason is that of good management, coupled --nffbe-a Willie L(fffmffffz with sound business logic fr the solution of the commercial problems that confront such a plant.
 In the East, where water power is available, cheap cleo trlclty can be manufactured, in some cases as cheap as a cent per kilowatt, but here in the West, where coal or oil has to be used, electricity is more costly. And it is in this coun- try that economies ought to be practiced that will give to the consumer lower rates. Munici- pal ownership has always been a hoodoo. People for years thought that unless they paid q huge out-of-the-state company their bills, somebody was graft ing. In fact whole political platforms have been construct ed about this one thing.
 Gradually, however, cities have been accumulating their public utilities, and maintain ing them on the profit sharing plan. Here, with our local plant, is but another example of "better municipal business. The credit must, of course, be distributed among the members of the city government, but the men who assure the future are the men who are most closely associated with the business To J. H. Hudson, the plant su- perintendent is due the great credit for the maintenance of service. Under his immediate care there is $35,0O0 worth of equipment. At any time an ac- cident might ruin some valu- able machine, at any tirnethe merest bit of negligence might cost the city thousands of dol lars and the profits for years to come.
 A few months ago the plant was costing the city in operat- ing losses several hundred dol lars each month Now it is producing an almost equal of profits. Within the past few months it has taken two distinct progressive steps, one to s'break even" and the other to get ahead. There can be but one result. The reduc- ing of rates and the consequent increasing consumption of pow CT, ad plant development which will add to the material assest of the city and make a "StilI better Williams"

Talk about fun, we'll it is at just such a delight fully happy gathering that it makes one wish they were a kiddie again. All had a merry time, we'll we wonder if thew did not. One precocious young ster was heard to voice the sen- timent of the whole merry lot when he remarked: ''jimminy crackey, this is the life." Every conceivable costume was there. Many were beautiful, and as many were grotesque. all were symbolic of happy, happy child hood. There was little of that bashfulness that might be ex- pected to be found in so large a crowd of youngsters. They were all out for a merry time, and they certainly had it. Gam es were indulged in for those who wished to play, and who did not? Dancing was another feature, and it was real cute. The grand march was some thing to remember. Did they keep MT. Barnes and Mrs. Shy der busy with the music, well did theyl And such ice cream and cookies. all the way from Donofrios, oh me, oh my.

stonewall Jackson Hcnored

Fifty-siX years after the death of
StoneWall Jackson the public decided
to build a monument to his memory,
and place it in the capitol Of Vir-
ginia. General Jackson's death was
| tragic. His own command shot him
down by mistake, supposing him to
be a federal officer. He died few
hours later, not far from the spot
where he fell.
The collapse of the Southern Con-
federacy was just approaching--bu
he was mercifuIly spared the gloom
and depression of the final end. Gen
eral Longstreet was also fired upon
by his own troops and suffered seri-
Dusly from the wounds, but was
able to pull through. He did suffer
great deal from these war-wounds
in later life.
Some day there will be a monu-
ment erected to General James Long
| street.
The exact spot at which Jackson
: fell was marked at the time by his
aides. After the war a boulder was
| placed there, later a monument. 1T
stands now says the Richmond
News Leader, away from travel and
beyond the Chancellor House. The
fine highway that is one of the prides
of Spottsylvania has turned away to

the Bloody Angle lies also to the
rear. The spot in very truth is the
end of the field. on the Ear border
