Faces Eyerywhere.

Faces Everywhere.
The time has now arrived when we
are to hear candidates praised from
morning to night. Well see smiling
faces everywhere. Well find post
ers In all sorts of places likely and
unlikely. Even at the circus on Tues
day evening the performance was
stopped while we were asked to look
about at the signs and pictures of
prospective office holders strung on
iigh lines like the family wash. Per.
sonally don't believe that sort Of
advertising pays for there wasn't q
man or woman near me who didn't
feel that something had been put
over on him. We'd come to see the
show not 30 hear the good points OF
the racers for the next election.

verttsement during the coming weeks

in gas rates at Logansrort and wa

The opinion of Commissioner HAYNES
is Identical in each case. II being stat
ed that the gas companies represen.
that since the filing OF the petitions
for Increases, representatives OF the
companies have been in conference
with citizens and civic associations IN
the cities affected and it appears to be
the sentiment OF the people that wbti.
recognizing the extraordinary costs
under which the companies have been
forced to operate. the present rates
should not be increased but any Losses
should be met by further conttnu-
ance Of the rates for a reasonable
period after the advent OF lower costs
