Definite plans to dismantle and re-

Gil convened Thursday night and again
took under advisement the report and
appraisment of Engineer McCreary of
his investigation made on behalf of
the city and after going over the fig
ures and facts, it was concluded that
the plant could be acquired at very
reasonable figure and that same could
be operated without loss and would
more than pay the interest on bonds
issued to acquire it. Other reasons
advanced why the city should acquire
it were that it would furnish and as
suro the people of Winslow the lowest
gas rates in the state of Arizona and
a good and efficient gas service at the
lowest possible cost; that to dismantle
and remove the plant would impose
great hardships on the housewives of
WinslOw, who in reality receive the
most benefits from gas service.
Gas is the cheapest and most mod

come here. The removal of the plant
would not only be detrimental but it
would give Winslow the reputation of
not being progressive and would keep
out other public utilities and modern
cOnveniences and would in general ef-

plant cannot be constructed for ap-
proximately three times the value of
what the present plant can be bought
for, and many requests have been
made by the taxpayers and promin-

plant and not permit it to be dismant-

ne present mains and without addi-
tional expense, as there are now over
me hundred houses on mains that are
@ot using gas, and by obtaining one
hundred new customers would great
iy increase the revenue of the plant
With avery small increase in operat-

Matter of Grave Importance to the

new rates granted are still by far the
lowest rates in the state for city of
this class and other cities much larger.
Every one will concede that the pre-
sent plant has been very poorly and in
managed and that the peo-
pie have had very poor service and
that there have been and still are nu-
nerous people who have been trying
for months to get the service but the
policy of the plant has been not to
make any new connections and the un
certainty Of it's permanency has pre-
vented our merchants from laying in

in face of all this there are 345 pre-
sent consumers

brandy, whisky, and other dear old
remedies in the treatment of this

dent supporters of dampness scarce

Of pneumonia with alcohol than the
rest of us save by treatment with

that they can't produce statistics

remedy.
Physicians generally had long
since eliminated whisky and brandy
from the emergency chest. These
panaceas, so welcome TO so many
habitual inmates of hospitals, had
become practically obsolete, so far
"a serious treatment was concerned,
although the public still liked to
imagine that n. C. Booze was good
for fevers and fits, coughs and colds,
fainting and chill, good for what
ever you pleased to think allied you.

ENJOYABLE ALL-DAY MEETING
AT NARROW GAP

A large crowd assembled at the
Narrow Gap schoolhouse last sun
day and enjoyed an all-day meeting.
The day was ideal and the people
came from far and near. The morn
ihg service was well-attended. Rev.
Howard Hudson had charge OF the
service, J. o. Lehman, managing edi-
tor of The Citizen, preached the
sermon which was followed by an
address by Rev. w. C. Noble, az
cCuntant TO the treasurer OF Be
rea College.
Shortly after ~ o'clock basket
dinner was spread and the crowd
was joined by number OF Berea
people who came out after the
morning service at Union Church,
and a most pleasant time was had
by all during the noon hour.
Mr.. Hudson called the assembly
together in the schoolhouse at 2
o'clock. And after the reading OF
the Sunday-sohool lesson by l. b.
Chestnut, they listened TO some ex-
cellent addresses given by DR.. j. r.
Robertson, Prof. Il. l.. Dix, and DIR.
J. w. Raine, all of Berea College.
Another feature of the day that
was greatly enjoyed was the sing
ing that was well rendered by the
quartet from Berea. Many were
heard to express a hope that another
all-day service might be ARRANGED
later in the summer.

chief point of emphasis just now.
The principal issue is why has. the
fall in prices set in. According to the
daily press at least four reasons
may be dug out of the mass of in
formation presented"
He then gives four reasons for this
decline as follows:
First, the dealers are overstocked;
second, the women of the country
have refused to buy goods at such
high figures; third, profiteering mer-
chants saw the light" and cut their
prices on account of the fear of pro-
secution; fourth, the Federal Re-
serve Banks have raised discount
rates.

PORTRAIT OF LINCOLN UNVEILED
AT BLUE RIDGE

The unwilling of great life size
painting of Abraham Lincoln was
an important event in the World
Conference of Boy Workers which
is now in session at the Blue Ridge
Association Grounds, Blue Ridge, N.
c. Hon. Raymond Robins, of Chica-
go. who has figured so prominently
in the affairs of Russia in the last
two years, was the principal speak
er. Mrs. Bush-Brown, one of the
most prominent artists of Washing
ton who painted the picture, was
present and told how she had tried
TO reveal the great heart of the man
in her painting.
DR.. w. ID. Weatherford, President
Of Southern College Of Y. NJ. C. A.,
presided and said, that this painting
o. Lincoln was welcomed in Lee
Hall, because Lincoln was a great
Christian, a great American, a great
soul untouched by hatred, and be-
cause the pictures Of Robert E. Lee
and Abraham Lincoln, hanging in
Lee Hall and both painted by the
same great artist, would forever de-
clare TO those who come to Blue

NEW PLAN FOR CELEBRATING IN
DEPENDENCE DAY

A new plan has been proposed
for celebrating the Fourth Of July
which commends itself 10 us most
highly. We publish IL here with
the hope that IL will be approved
by others and be carried out in our
coming celebrations.
The method of the celebration
is this: TO treat the Birthday Of
the Republic as the commencement
day for all those who have come OF
age since the previous Fourth; TO
make the Roll Call Of these persons
The climax or the main event Of our
Independence Day celebration. The
object lis TO attach dignity 10
the enfranchisement Of every Amer
lean voter"
The practical steps TO be taken
are the following: Advertise for the
names Of the new electors, and OBJ
tain their consent to he present at
the proposed festival. Arrange
suitable program, including the in
PRODUCTION Of distinguished visitors,
greetings from afar, music by child
rem, and souveniors if desirable.
The printed program should exhibit
the full names Of the new electors,
who should face the audience on the
evcntful occasion, and rise and an
swer when called upon"
This feature introduced into our
celebrations ought TO become gen.
orally observed and il would serve
10 emphasize the Importance Of the
elcctor; il ought TO build up faith
in Americas future: TO encourage
independent thinking in the indi-
vidual, tolerance in the classes, and
unity in the Nation.
May we hear from others who are
interested in this movement. Ask
your neighbors what they think OF
it. Give il your serious considera-
tion.

MUSICAL AT MIDDLET0WN

Mr.. II. f. Taylor, of Berea, assisted
by other local talent. Those who
assisted were: Prof. Rigby, Miss

Jameson, Mr.. Bradley Kineaid, and
Mr.. George Dick.
Mr.. Taylor played several selec-
tions on the organ, which had been
moved from the College Chapel down
TO the church for the occasion.
giving an interesting Introductory
explanation TO each selection. A
mixed quartet sang The King Of
Love My Shepherd Is" and duets
and solos were rendered by the
other talent.
Mr.. Bradley Kincaid added special
zest TO the occasion by singing two
songs to his own guitar acoompani-
ment.
The neighbors and friends from
Berea joined in the evenings en-
tertainment and the church was
crowded to the doors. An admis-
sion of ten cents was charged, the
proceeds TO go for church expense.
A very delightful feature of the
evening was the rendering of sew
eral spirituals by the Middletown
Church Choir, led by Matilda Gentry,
At the close Of the entertainment
refreshments were served TO the
talent and were for sale TO all 9TH
ers. All expressed themselves as

morning on The Lords Supper
The object Of this sermon was TO
show when and by whom the Lords
supper was instituted and what il

was given by some Of the children
Of the Sunday-school. There was
also another addition to the church.
The sermon at night was on The

eDt. They planned for a social
which was given on Monday even
ing by The Department of Recrea-
tion and Culture. The social was
given on the church lawn and was
fer all Leaguers and new members
of the church. There were several
young people present, and some OF
the older ones also. Everyone
seemed to enjoy the games and the
ice cream cones which were served
afterwards. The social broke up
with song and prayer.

THE SCARCITY OF ALCOHOL

There is already a marked fall
ing off in the business of the county
jails, a letting down in the press
of cases in the lower courts, a
greatly diminished demand for med
ical charity, and a very encourag-
ing shrinkage in the deadbeat list
OF every business man who deals
with the public.
A clinic opened in the city OF
New York in anticipation of a great
increase in drug addiction among
unfortunate citizens who could no
longer get booze proved superfluous
and had TO be closed because the
awful drug addiction so freely and
rather ill-naturedly predicted by
the city ofiice-holders failed TO ma
terialize. The opening and closing
of thai clinic somehow reminds
one of the bad boys across the
street who, if we won't play his
way, threatens TO eat worms.
Dire predictions of a sad increase
in the fatality Of the flu were made
by the friends of N. C. Booze in
many parts of the country, which
predictions proved equally bad
guesses. This years flu epidemic
was much less fatal than the cpl
demic OF t9iS-i9.

Physicians, scientists and medi-

Their efforts are represented by the
numerous preparations now on the

all these preparations lies in that,
either they were too mild or too
violent and drastic in their &C
