JEWELRY STORE
IS BURGLARIzED

The plate glass window Of the RC-
chier Jewelry Company building was
broken last night some time in the
early morning hours and the display
window ransacked of valuable sterl-
ing silverware, a diamond ring and
some watches. A large brick was hurl-
ed through the glass with great force
and glass was scattered from the front
to the rear of the room.
Mr. ROchier stated that he is salts
fled that the burglars were not green
hands, because they gathered up the
most valuable stuff and left the plated
ware, that is not of high value A
hole was made in the glass large
enough for a man to crawl through
which was done, and several watches
were taken from his work bench.
AS rule, all the valuable jewelry
and watches is placed in a safe at
night but having visitors at his home
yesterday, Henry hurried home with
out taking time to put away the things
on display in the front window.
AS a result of the raid last night,

NO WONDER ITS POPULAR
(By the United Press.

PORTLAND, ORE, March II, Cunt
ed Press)-How can anyone be blam
ed for dancing the shimmie when
even a cockroach can't resist it ii
the face of jazzy music!
DR.. Helen Clark, head of the Reed
College psychology department here
is authority for the statement the
shimmie is fast becoming the popular
indoor sport for cockroaches. She has
proved to her students that soft, tune
full music sends a healthy coCkrOach
into an emotional trance which finds
expression in a rhythmic dance. And
high strains produce an ecstatic re
sronse which has every semblance OF
the shiRInie.
Similar results were observed in the
angle worm, which wriggled and
"shivered" in perfect cadence with a
popular dance step.

~ "N.l'' bIl ''Ns
No increase on the rates for elec.
trioity used by the City.
For the first IL kilOwatt hours used
this would mean an inCreash of about
fifteen per cent, and a majority of the
light users at Harrison use less than
fifteen kilowatt hours per month. IN
other words, if your light bills have
run about Sl50 per month, under the
new rates they would be about $50
per month : if they have run about
1925 per month, under the new rates
they would run S2.70 per month; II
they have run $3.45 per month, they
would be $3.50 per month under the
new rates
We give these specific instances for
the information of the public gener
ally, and the particular increases cited
will affect more than rs per cent Of
our customers at Harrison,
1t is useless to call the attention OF
the consumoing public to the fact that
everything has increased in price and
that the purchasing power of the dol
lar has cOrrespondingly decreased
Fuel is one Of the main items in the
operation Of all electric plants, and
il cost probably as much to ship coal
to Harrison as to almost any other
point in the State, and the cost of coal
delivered at Harrison has increased
approximately 300 per cent within the
past three years.
It is well known to all Of you people
that the light plant at Harrison has
never been a paying proposition; that
for the past two years 1t has not made
sufficient money to pay its bond inter
est; that the plant was forced into
Teceivership proceedings and that the
same was taken over by the bondhold
ers who had to put up considerable
money out Of their own pockets II
order to. finance the proposition, save
their investment, and 10 furnish con
tinuous electric service TO the COnsum
ers at Harrison
We have requested that the propos
ed schedule OF rates he allowed to gc
into effect April lst, 1920, and each
consumer Is therefore notified that i
there Is any objection to the proposed
increase that same should be made m
writing to the Corporation Commission
at Little Rock, Arkansas Immediately
and at least ten days prior to the eifec
tive date Of the proposed schedule OF
rates.
II is the purpose Of the new fIar
rison Electric Company TO furnish the
very best electric service possible, and
we expect to place orders within few
days for some much needed improve
ments at the plant, and we hope to
receive the cooperation OF the public
generally.
