Grand Forks Herald,
Gentlemen:
Ny subscription expires on April
II, so I herewith enclose a check for
renewal as I can not miss seeing how
the Townley Bolshevists propaganda
is diminishing or. fl%ourishing in our
beloved state. The parties that are
strongly in favor Of socialism are say
ing that the Grand Forks Herald is
a damnable liar, but I for one, fail
to see, it in that light. I think it
stands for good government and for
the financial interests of our state gov
eminent which should be the interest
of all and every individual of the state
and from a farmers standpoint, I
cannot see what good can come of
making our state socialistic.
Tallack T~allackson,
a Farmer.

TELEGRAPH RATES ADVANCE

The postmaster general announces a 20 per cent
advance in telegraph rates, to take effect Immediately.
HI says the advance is made necessary by recent ad-
vances in wages. Perhaps he is right. We haven't the
figures. But the announcement will come as a shock
to those persons who have acted on the assumption that
the money with which to meet the expenses of operating
public utilities could be derived from some other source
than the sums paid in fees by those, who use the service.
The powers Of a public utility concern seem to be con-
sidered similar to those of Sthe conjuro- who produces
live RABBITS from a hat, or materializes Towering plants
OUT of the empty air.
a7-tIt is true that government is able to perform mir
acles~ which are beyond the private corporation. The
government can, as a matter of fact, raise wages and in
crease the cost of every item of service without raising
it's rates to patrons. The private concern cannot do this
unless it has been making exorbitant profits. and that
fact can usually be readily ascertained. But the govern
ment can, and often does. conduct a business actually
below cost by the simple expedent of. collecting the diff
ference in taxes. That the private corporation cannot
do. because it has no taxpayers on whom to fall back. 4
If this shifting of burdens from consumer to tax
payer were done directly the taxpayers might not like it.
If the city government in charge Of a municipal plant
were to charge rates which resulted in a net loss of $780,
900. for instance, and, at the end Of the year, were to
frankly the amount Of the shortage and make
a levy to cover it, the entire community would protest,
and would demand that, if economies in operation could
not be effected. the rates be raised to a point which
would make the business self-sustaining.
But that is not the way in which it is done. A little
bookkeeping does the trick. 1t seems properly charge
able against the plant, for depreciation. for interest, for
loss of taxes such as would be paid il the plant were a
privately owned institution, and so on, are omitted, and
on the books the plant shows a handsome surplus. The
tax is necessary. just the same, but it is so distributed
that the taxpayers do not know that it is levied to make
up a shortage on the municipal plant. And it is this
method Of accounting, SO often followed, which makes
Sc many municipal statistics worthless.

The state law governing the issuance of bonds by
corporations provides that the amount Of the bond issue
must not exceed the subscribed part of the capital stock.
On that basis the Consumers Stores company. on whose
capital stock just $1,000 has been paid, may issue $500
worth Of bonds. provided it. has otherwise complied
with the law. The managers actually propose to issue
$500, 900 of bonds. It's merely a matter Of a few ciphers.

Jump from Bed
in Morning and
Drink Hot Water
Tells why everyone should
drink hot water each
morning before
breakfast.

To see the healthy bloom in your
face, to see your skin get clearer
and clearer, to wake up without a
headache, backache, coated tongue
or nasty breath, in fact to feel
your best, day in and day out, just
try inside bathing every morning
for a week.
Before breakfast each day, drink
a glass of real hot water with tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in 1t
as a harmless means of washing
from the stomach, liver. kidneys and
bowels the previous days indigesti-
BILE waste, sour bile and toxins, thus
cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary canal before
putting more food into the stomach.
The action of hot water and lime
stone phosphate on an empty stom-
ach is wonderfully invigorating. It
cleans out all the sour fermenta-
tions, gases and acidity and gives
one a fine appetite for breakfast.
A quarter pound of limestone
phosphate will cost very little at the
drug store, but is sufficient to dem
onstrate that those who are subject
to constipation, bilious attacks, acid
stomach, rheumatic twinges or
whose skin IS sallow or pall;d, that
one week of inside bathing will have
them looking and feeling better

Omaha Girl Signs
Up With Leu Cody

Lew Cody last week signed up
three new leading women, Miss Ma
rie Kowaleski formerly of Omaha) },
Miss Ethel Wood and Miss Hattie
Kay.
The star took action without con-
sulting his manager, L. ]. Cashier,

Campbell, Of the Dustin Farnum
company, had induced the young
women 10 appear in a big banquet
and masquerade ball scene which
marked finis to the production Of
"The Corsican Brothers." made un-
der Mr.. Cashiers supervision.
Misses Kowaleski, Wood and Kay
are attached to the Office staff of the
Cashier studios in Glendale and had
long cherished desires to appear be-
fore the camera--if only once!
But, womanlike, they had pinned
their faith on Lew Cody as feminin-
ity's conceded ideal, and the star
had, in fact, promised to use the
girls as soon as opportunity offered.
Director Campbell beat Cody to it,
however, when he was making out
his schedule for 400 extra players for
his big night scene taken on the
new French Opera House Set, espe-
cially constructed for this picture.
Next day Marie told Cody of her
costtme-all about the pink crepe
de chine, Heavily embroidered and
edged with purple velvet" that con-
stituted her French period costume.
while Misses Wood and Kay chimed
in with their stories of cinematic
grandeur.
But Cody has matters fixed" now,
for he has obtained the signatures
of the young women to a paper re-
stricting their "film appearance" to
Lew Cody productjons exclusively.

Note of Warmth in Paris
Feminine and Male Attire

Paris, Nov 8-The word has
gone forth in the matter of autumn
fashions for men. Gray marengo
and a cloth the color of toast will
be in favor. Navy blue, for the pres
ent, has had its day. Bottle-green
clothes will be worn by boys.
AS to cut, the jacket will be a
little arched in the back, and the
trousers will maintain the crease
until the coming of breeches, which
certain daring spirits desire to in
troduce.
For women the winter promises
to be more furry than ever. Fur
hats, bands of fur running round
the skirts, an edging of fur on un-
dergarments, coats with fur collars
and cuffs at $3.50 apiece-these are
some of the fur features in the
Paris shops lust now.
