RED HEAD RECONsIDERs.

Chester Torkelson, the red-headed
pitcher, outfielder, comedian of the
New Orleans Pelicans, who decided to
give the Pels the hinky-dink and beat
It out to the Pacific coast, has changed
his mind and is now full-fledged
member of the Birds again.
Red was well satisfied as a Pelican
until he saw several reels of Mack
Sennett's bathing beauties. Red learned
that these comedies are made out on
the Pacific coast, so h decided he
wanted change Of scenery pronto. The
quickest way was too slow for the sor-
rel. He notified Manager Johnny Dobbs
and President Helnemanh, of the New
Orleans club, that he was through, and
that he wanted to ebtraded or sold
to Pacific Coast league club.
But Red has undergone, a change of
heart. Just why the bricktop has de-
cided he'd rather remain here the rest
of the season in preference to Pa
cific Coast league berth isn't stated.
The chances are that Torkelson will
get his wish and be shifted to the p
c. l.. before next season starts.
Red is a very valuable adjunct to
any ball club, being a good pitcher,
outfielder and comedian He Is the only
real fun maker in the Southern league
at present. There are several who
think they are funny but the fact re-
mains that Torkelson is the only real
laugh getter in the league.

CITIES MUST HELP
FARMS

While we recognize the right OF
a utility to make reasonable earn
ing upon it's investment, 1t is not
aecessary that an equal earning
should be made upon all of the var
ious branches of service which it
renders, nor is II necessary that each
community or consumer should pay
= rate which would yield a return
equal TO that of every other COM
munity or consumer. Electric COM
panies do not have TO secure the
same return in poor and sparsely
settled communities that can be
earned in prosperous cities. II Is
sometimes necessary that the more
prosperous communities served by
a utility make up to some extent for
The smaller revenues derived from
che less fortunate localities served
by tn sam system. II Is to be hopeo
that these diklng districts will con-
tinue to develop and increase in
wealth and ultimately be able to pay
charges that will yield q greater re-
turn to this company. Every utility
serving a broad territory and maxi
Ing the extensions necessary to the
development OF its field should ex-
pect to share somewhat the hardship
and lean years that inevitably befall
The pioneer, relying upon the ultim-
ate coming OF more prosperous times |
and conditions. We do not believe !
"a requiring prosperous communities /
served by a utility to contribute to
an unreasonable extent for the lack
OF earnings in pioneer sections but
the best results will follow close CO.
operation between utilities and set
tiers who are struggling together to
reclaim the swamps and the wilder
ness.
I'VE realize that this country is
not making the return under the
contract rates that more prosperous
conditions would justify. We are not
disposed, however, at this time on
the evidence before us, to set the
contracts aside and impose charges
for energy which we feel the traffic
cannot bear. When II can be shown
that these districts have been more
thoroughly developed, and that u
reasonable degree of prosperity has
come to those who are struggling 10
reclaim these wild lands, we will per-
nit this utility to share in the pros
Derliy they have helped to create.
Until that time comes We will de-
'lpc o set those contracts aside and =
,ul IN effect rates embraced in the 0
lcw tariff" o
The above policy in aid OF general =
development Is all right provided a Z

urn upon its entire investment that
