HEARINGS SOON
ON LIGHT RAISES
Local Companies Seek Addi-
tiOns to Surcharges.

The public service commission is ex-
pected to begin hearings In the near
future on petitions Of the Merchants Heat
and Light company and the Indianapolis
Light and Heat company Of Indianapolis
for increased rates.
Both companies, asserting the present
rates are not sufficient to meet the in
creased cost of operation, wish the addi-
tional rate granted in the form OF an
addition to the present surcharge, al
lowed during and after the war.
A specific increase is not asked, the
companies wanting a surcharge large
enough "to cover added costs of coal,
material labor and taxes"
A surcharge of mills a kilowatt hour
for commercial lighting and power was
authorized Sept. l. 1917, and this was
increased to mills Aug. 10, 1918, for
both companies.
The commission has denied Indian
apolis public warehouses authority to
make increases In storage rates.

Weak. thin, nervous people almost In

phosphate in the nerves and lack of iron
In the blood. One Of the surest, quickest
and safest ways I'm which 70 make up
the deficiency IS TO take with each meal
a I've grain tablet Of digestible phosphate
and iron known among druggists here as
Blood Iron Phosphate; because Il sup
plies iron 10 the blood as well as phos-
phate 10 the nervous system. People who
have tried lt say that one FIVE grain
tablet taken with each meat quickly re-
stores depleted nervous energy, enriches
the blood, increases strength, vitality and
endurance, and those who are too thin
usually pvt on pounds Of solid stay

NOT 50 GLOOMY If
ALL PULL TOGETHER

The fan Of 1914 was gloomy We
did not know what we would do in
1915. In 1915 we had, comparatively
speaking, q splendid year We have
the richest soil in the world and we
have raw material that is convertible.
Labor is going to be plentiful, people
must have lumber and they are going
to buy cOttonseed products.
Cotton is low and there is a slight
damand. If we hold out there must
be a better demand. There is no use
in crowding dead market. Those
who are out Of debt should house
their cotton. Those who are in debt
can paw something and carry on. Cot
ton does not perish if it is kept in
dry place, and it is in our power to
manage that We can get reasonable
price for It,
There Is a surplus of cotton. Ac-
cording to present demand, there Is a
big surplus, but there is a way to
handle this surplus, and when cotton
is below the cost Of production It is
our duty to ourselves to take meas
ures that will result in its not being
sold at loss.
We have got to cut the acreage
next year and we have got to con-
vince the world now that it will be
cut. People say that erybody in
creases his acreage in such a year.
but the banker, the marchant and the
farmer, working together, can cut The
acreage.
AT the coming cotton conference
this plan win be worked out, and it
will be drastic, and it will be en-
forced It will be enforced because
Of necessity.
If we can grow enough stuff to
feed ourselves and cut the acreage,
then we will quickly become creditors.
There must be no child's play about
the coming cotton conference.
Those who are unwilling to cut
must be forced to do so, and they will
be forced to do so.
This brings on more talk.
Three or four years ago we were
producing BlOIuluuS NudH1AgASH VI
hogs in this country. We were form
ing pig clubs and corn clubs. We
have some fine bl00ded hogs in this
territory. Our people should inn
mediately begin to buy males and fe-
males and put themselves in a way
to have hogs to eat and hogs to sell.
But the big thing is meat to eat.
Fifteen per cent. of our land de-
voted to hogs, cattle, Irish and sweet
potatoes, and Is per cent. more de-
voted to oats, cowpeas, corn, sorghum
and alfalfa will make it so that we
will no longer be slaves to a single
crop.
Then will cotton be blessing to
us, because when we have grown it it
will be grown on food produced in our
own territory. Every bale that we
sell then, will not be sold to paw for
meat, meal and flour we have already
eaten, because we will have sold this
stuff to ourselves and will have paid
for it out of our own personal labor
Now, you may say this looks well
on paper, but you can not nick a
flaw in the plan. 1t is common sense.
Next year we have got to do this
anyhow. because we are not going to
