Letter From Wayne Downing.

On active Service with the American
Expeditionary Force, Toul, Feb. 2,
19l9.-Dear Folks: 1t has been sew
eral days since have written and at
that | have sent two other letters
since | have received one at all.
don't get any mail other than what
you yourself and Mabel send, so there
is not much. We expect to move to
a salvage park in the next few days
and if we do, in all probabilities we
will be over here for six or eight
months longer. That will surely be
HELL" but as you can see we can
have no say. The men who have de-
pendents are able to get a discharge,
if it is wished. of course, there is
lots of red tape it it, but lots of them
are getting them. They are sure
raising cain about keeping the boys
over here. At present we are clean
ing up the country for the French.
Most, of them are on leave, and it is
a rare thing to see the French soldiers
in this section doing any work. We
are taking down unused telephone
lines, putting up new ones, while other
outfits are building roads, taking down
barbed wire entanglements, filling the
trenches and exploding mines, putting
up buildings and soforth. The French

TER-ROTTON LIGHT
Lamar Still on the Public Utilities
Waiting List and the william
Still Pursues Her.

The citizens of Lamar still keep
their lamps trimmed and candles
~handy and walk the streets in dark
nessness while they patiently await
the decision of the public utilities COM
mission on our right TO handle our
own public business in our own way,
and get light where we can get the
real article and ut a decent rate.
Not content with handing the citi-
zens Of Lamar what he admitted under
oath to be the poorest service of any
of his eighteen plants and at the high
est rates, Pa van Diest is now buying
space in the papers to abuse private
citizens of the town, and this is charg
ed up in the expense account and our
people will be asked if necessary. to
pay increased rates for their lights in
order that he can pay for these abus
i've ads. The citizens of Lamar pay
the bills and dividends to boot-it don't
come out of Pa van Diest's pocket.
Let each taxpayer when he goes to the
polls to vote on the bond and light
plant propositions ask himself the
question how he likes to pay for news
paper space to enable one Of the citi-
zens of Little London to abuse our
home people-or even as he puts it to
settle n LIE Junta scrap.
The Intermountain company is now
trying to make the people believe that
they are going to put up new plant
at a cost of nearly one hundred thous-
and dollars-all new. Remember
though they told US that before and
we got secondhand junk. Remember
also the utilities commissions expert
testified that owing TO their System Of
bookkeeping it was impossible to tell
what part of the cost of the improve
ments was paid out of the expense
fund, but 1t was ali added to the value
OF the plant and Lamar was expected
to pay dividends on it. This is to be
repeated again and the valuation will
then be placed at over quarter Of a
million dollars, which VIII make the
dividends greater than Mr.. Corson's
estimate of the cost of running the
plant given at the hearing last year.
Each citizen should remember when
he goes to vote that the longer Lamar
submits to these outrageous conditions
the greater will be the accumulated
costs and dividends and instead Of any
hope for lower rates, higher ones will
be assessed. In not one of the Inter
mountain company's carefully worded
ads-preparcd by their attorney, mind
you-is one word said about more
reasonable rates. They dwell only on
the hope for better service, knowing
that they have made their service so
rotten that it will be very little trouble
to improve it.
BY collaboration of two high-elass
artists on the Register staff we are
able here to produce n scene in La
mar when with pockets empty and the
junk all '7orn out Lamar reaches its
last hope.

The Perry Chief remarks as 'it
is noticeable fact that as soon as a
community of farmers becomes fami-
liar with the new Iowa road law,
finds out exactly how much it will
cost to build permanent roads, a,:d
how much time they have in which
to- pay for it, that community i'm
mediately seeks to get on a primary
system. This condition is true all
over Iowa and the state is well start
