Should The City Purchase
The Water Works?

On the l4th day of October the pre-
sent agreement or contract that the
city of Hurley has with the Hurley
Water Company expires, and on or
before that time there mas to be some
definite understanding between the
city and the water company.
At tue last meeting of the common
council representatives. of the comp
any appeared before the council and
stated briefly the conditions of the
company and what they expected if
they continued to furnish water 10
this city.
As l believe in municipal thrift
and economy | will endeayor to ex-
plain why believe that this utility
should be purchased by the city.
First, if the present company con-
tinues to furnish water to the city
they are going to The Railroad Com
mission of Wisconsin and ask for an
increase in rates, which one of the
officials of the company stated would
be about 90 per cent of the present
rate. This would mean that instead
of the cityapaying $500 as they are
now doing, next year it would have
to pay s4564 for hydTant rental and
the individual consumer who is now
paying $1,000 next year would be
paying sI9.56.
am of the opinion that the plant
of the water company could at this
time be purchased at price not to
exceed S35 600 and if it is not pur-
chased by the city and the talked of
rate is put into effect the city would
pay ont in period OF ten years the
sum OF s45, $4,000 for hydrant rental a
lone, to say nothing of saving that
could be made to the individual con
sumer in the same seriod of time and
if it was owned blythe city there would
be no taxes to day, no hydTant rental
to pay; it would merely mean a set
of figures crediting the water plant
with earning that much for the city.
1t looks to me like business prop
osition that the city cannot afford to
pass up, and now is the time, Mr.
Tax payer and Householder. that you
should express your views on the
matter to your aldermenor make your
ideas known To the mem hers of the
Commercial Club so that the city can
take some action and act to the gen.
eral welfare of the community

The City Mans View.

A reporter for large city news
paper recently asked five persons
picked at random" How can We keep
the boys on the farm" One man
who was asked this question, sta
tlonaTy engineer, replied: Give
them farm. Cut the farms down,
and let each man work bis own farm.
Then be will never leave the farm. 3"
Ask the next farmer you meet on
the street if he believes that would
solve the problem, and he will tell
you that the city maD's idea is all
night in theory but that it would be
poor when put to practice But it is
typical of solutions of our agricultur-
al problems offered by editors of city
newspapers and people not in touch
with farming conditions.
SAT time when labor is extremely
scarce, being almost understandable at
any price in many sections, this city
man suggests that We cut up our
farms and give each man a small acre
age to work for himself. 1t would be
inst as sensible TO suggest that the
labor troubles in our big Industries
could be settled by cutting up the
large factories and splitting them in
to numerous small shops, each one
owned aud opeT ated by single indi-
yidnal This is utterly preposterous,
OF course, but it is only slightly more
so than to suggest that our large and
efficient farms should be split into
smallones to be operated as units and
with the small-sized machines and in
sufficient equipment which the small
farmer would be forced to buy. It's
d poor solution. but it serves to show
how far the city man is from solving
the problem of which he knows moth
ing about

The point is that leisure succeeds
and does not precede work, that If
you plan a day with four hours Of
work and four hours of poetry writ
ing. you are perfectly justified, pro-
vided you find more nourishment in
poetry than In beefsteak. The hours
Of labor are determined by an adjust
ment between what we want and what
we are willing to work for, and the
hope of leisure can spring only out
OF a confidence In the ability Of col
lective brains to provide facilities by
which a man may do more with less
effort, says Worlds Work. The only
way to provide these facilities is by
increasing the margin of production
over consumption, for It is that mar
gin which provides the capital for in
creased facilities.

BODILY MECHANICS.

According TO report of the
physical examinations Of frst-year
men at Harvard. 50 per cent required
training In bodily mechanics" upon
their admission TO the college. Fewer
than one per cent were rated as "hav.
ing a good mechanical use of the
body" the rest were faulty to some
degree, standing, walking or sitting,
and more than one-third were put
down as being very bad examples.
This part of the examination does
not relate to physical defects in the
ordinary sense, organic or functional
troubles, as ailments of the heart,
lungs, eyes, throat or ears. II is
strictly concerned with determining
how well the student carries him
self" 1t is a reasonable theory, how
ever, that a good carriage has IA
vorable influence on the general bod
lily condition, and physical directors
nowadays lay stress on it. 1t is
strange if, as indicated by this Har-
ward report, preparatory schools are
neglecting bodily mechanics, for a
campaign Of public education has been
carried on for some years, says
Providence Journal The subject
ought to be taught before a boy or
girl reaches the college age. IN
