CARMEN HONEST,
SAYS OFFICIAL
Union Secretary Declares
Thieving "Floaters'' Are
Soon Discharged.

Stirred by a report appearing in an
officials of the employees union of the
Capital Traction were hindering the
company in its effort to stamp out dis
honesty among its employees. J. II.
Cookman. secretary and treasurer OF
the union, last night emphatically de-
MED that there was any truth in the
report.
I'VE are now and always will be in
full cooperation with the Capital
Traction officials" said Mr. Cookman
THE union is waging a determined
fight to eliminate all dishonest en-
ployes, and we resent the attitude of
people who seem TO think that all the
men are crooked. The ones who steal
are mostly 'foaters,' and as soon as
they are found out they are set loose. :"
Asked If he thought that conditions

he thought that conditions would be-

pride to the record of the unionized

HOW DOCTORS TREAT
COLDS And GRIPPE

Ask any physician or druggist and
he will tell you that the best and only
effective remedy for a bad cold, sore
throat or la grippe is what he calls
"a brisk Calomel purge" which
means a big dose of calomel at bed
time But as the old style caIomel
has some very unpleasant and dan
gerous qualities physicians and drug
gists are now recommending the i'm
proved nausealess calomel tablet
called "Calotabs" which is free from
the sickening and dangerous effects
and whose medicinal virtues are vast
ly improved.
One Calotab on the tongue at bed
time with a swallow of water-that's
all. No salts. no nausea nor the
slightest interference with your diet,
pleasures or work. Next morning
your cold has vanished and your en-
tire system feels purified and re-
freshed.
Calotabs are sold only in original
sealed packages, price thirty-five
cents. Your druggist guarantees Gallo
tabs by refunding the price if you
are not delighted.-Adv.

Pubic Utilities Commission
Expected to Hand Down
Decision Shortly.

The Public Utilities Commission is
expected to give decision in the mat
ter OF the formal protests made by
residents OF Takoma Park and other
sections against alleged exorbitant
gas bills rendered them for November
Brig. Gen. Charles W. Kutz, chair
man Of the commission, yesterday said
that the testimony, charts and tables
of figures submitted by the complain
ants at the hearing on January 3, are
being carefully snalyzed.
These figures, it is said, show 'mys-
terious" increases. which the COM
pany explained by stating that an
inexperienced youth read meters dur
ing October and that the figures for
that month were undertakings which
were made up the next month.
Dissatisfied with the explanation
given by the company. Maid. 5.
Fletcher. President of the TakOma
Park Citizens Association. presented a
statement showing the average bills
paid by the complainants for a period
ranging from six months to several
years. and upon comparing these aver
age with the large bills rendered dur
ing November showed an increase or
more than 100 per cent. and in some
cases several hundred per cent.
Tables of Averages.
The tables OF averages. together
with the November bill in the ten
cases submitted to the commission by
Maj. Fletcher were as follows:
First Case-Average bill for six
months. S6.1T; November bill. s2O.O7.
Second case-Average bill for
twelve months. SgS9: November
bill. S2Os7.
Third case-Average bill for
twelve months, S2.79; November bill.

Fourth case-Average bill for

Fifth case-Average bill for

Ninth case-Average bill for

In asditiOn to the foregoing show

both civil engineers. presented charts
showing the meter readings at their
residences in curves for a number
of years, which, compared with the
November bills, showed increases of
from 200 to 400 per cent.
Maj. Fletcher asked the company
officials how they accounted for
the extreme increases in November
where conditions were exactly the
same for previous months in many
years. Their answer was that the
meters had not been correctly read
during October.
The commission therefore was
asked by Mai. Fletcher to reduce the

Crop Outlook Poor

From conversation with farmers
living in various sections of the coun-
ty it is learned that the crop outlook
is anything but bright for the present
season and many of the most conser-
vatiye of the farmers are given to con-
siderable pessimisim on she subject
Continued rains have been anything
but benefit to either small grains
or corn and cultivation of the latter
has been impossible on the most of
the fields, thus giving the weeds a
splendid chance to make Roadway. Rye
is coming on nicely but unfortunate
ly the rye acreage is very small. The
county is learning by experience that
it's farmlands need thousands of feet
of thing and that the sooner this is
done the better off financially the
county will be-. Many land owners are
convinced that this ditching should be
done Immediately without any wait
for a drop in prices or more favora-
BILE conditions of any kind.

There are great many houses that

Now that the date has been definitely
set for July there should be no fur
Their delay. The sooner the require
ments are fulfilled the easier it will
be to place the service in operation
successfully and conviently.
Within few days register of the
patrons will be established and unless
you have your number and mail box
IN place it will be impossible to include
your name on the register.
The house numbers may be obtained
from the City Clerk, Fl. c. Rutter and

days.

ATTITUDE ON COUNTY
SEAT REMOVAL.

Tuesday of this week the petition
for the purpose of calling a special
election to decide the future site of The
county seat was circulated. The mud
dy roads have prevented the Wabasso
people from getting out in this COM
munity so far but we presume the
end of the week will find the county
pretty well. canvassed.
Sentiment in this community as far
as we have been able to learn seems
to be pretty much opposed to change.
During the past two weeks we have
talked with many farmers and several
business men and with but 5one excep-
ton they have favored the present site.
While several of them are not so
strong for the town OF Redwood Falls
they nevertheless feel that were they
as well acquainted with the people of
Wabasso they would also find that not
everything was to their liking and in
asmuch as change will mean more
mileage and added inconvenience they
do not feel like letting themselves in
for additional taxes to satisfy the am
billions of Wabasso.
Looking at the proposition from all
sides one must admit that the fight
is largely between the towns of Red
wood Falls and Wabasso. We doubt
very much If the citizens of either city
are actuated by purely altrustic mo-
tlves. The courthouse and the officers
connected Herewith are considerable
addition to any town in the county
more especially to one the size of Wa
basso. One has it and wishes to keep
it, the other is willing to spend money
to acquire it.
No one, not even the most partisan
Redwood Falls man, can blame Wabas-
SO for getting the county seat if pos
sible. 1t will give them prestige, more
population, and speaking in personal
way, rich resident to share in the
paying for various needed civic i'm
provements.
However, it remains to be seen
whether the people of the county are
willing to increase their taxes to salts
fly Wabasso's ambition Belview In
dependent, June Is.

Is Courthouse Cracked?

There is another very funny thing
about the county seat question. Red
wood Falls and Wabasso both have
pictures of the court house. One is
perfect while The one Wabasso has
we are told, has crack from top to
bottom. In all probability it's the
plate upon which :he picture was TAX
en- that is cracked instead of the
building. It's too bad if Wabasso had
such bad luck with their picture and
then on the other hand some guy may
have been mean enough to break this
plate on purpose, as a crack in the
court house might be enough to turn
the trick. Max Johnson, in the Milroy
Echo.
It is just barely possible, Max, that
the fellow who saw this serious dam
age-feature of the courthouse may
have been a bit cracked himself. Would
il not be worth the while of the resi-
dents of the county to each consider
himself a committee of one to come TO
Redwood Falls and to see just how SER
ious it is?
