campaign, as much as anything
else. that the federation quickly
climbed into a place of respect and
prominence, both with Congress
and the people of the District.

there was practically no favorable

Fayors Utilities Commission.

At the second or third meeting
Of the Federation of Citizens Asso-
Citations the idea of a public utili-
ties commission was agreed to by
the delegates. Mr.. Clayton, who
had been elected as president, un-
dertook without pay to devote his
time to promoting the idea, and be-
fore long the proposed utilities
commission became the big idea for
which the federation stood. The
citizens associations, Of course,
wanted a commission elected by
the people of the District If they
could not get that they were will
ling to take one appointed by the
President of the United States and
approved by the Senate. In the
end, because of the opposition both
of public service corporations In
the District and of the then Dis
trict Commissioners, the federation
was obliged to assent to a public
utilities commission composed of
the District Commissioners. Then.
as now, the federation stood for a
separate utilities commission on
the grounds that the District Com
missioners already had too many
tasks to permit of adequate atten-
ton to railways, gas and tele-

Many Fights Yet to Be Won.
Numerous matters of public inter-
est on which the federation has
taken its stands are yet to be won.
For example the delegates Of the
Citizens associations are generally
opposed to the Borland law which
assesses the cost of street improve
ments, such as paving and sewers.
to the adjacent property. 1t Is con-
tended that it is not the abutting
real estate alone that benefits and
that a fairer way would be to a re-
turn to the method of general tax
alton, and permit the improvement
to be assessed against the entire
city.
The federation also is asking res
toration of the ''ifty-fifty" plan of
taxation for the District in place of
the present arrangement where the
Federal government pays but 40 per
cent and the assessed private prop
erty in the District the remaining
so per cent.
In the matter Of school books, the
federation early in it's history Joined
with the Central Labor Union in
urging that free texts be supplied.
They were successful in getting free
books for the grade schools and are
still agitating for free text books
in the high schools.

The Wrangell sentinel., 1921-07-07

in safety, ease and plenty, has held good positions at good pay because our soldier boy was away. Now that he has returned he asks for what is left over, work of any kind," We turn down the bonus because that would cheapen the sacrifice he made, and he is too big to protest against the injustice. He gave two years of competent service out of his sound competent life and the good American gov- ernment fed and clothed him during that period. If the stacker prof. iteered on the job while he was gone he ought to be big enough to forget it, and maybe he is. He isn't asking for a bonus. just as he didn't ask to be excused from service. He is no beggar-he only asks for "wotk of any kind "
 But this lad is neither the most nor the least fortunate of the re- turned soldiers. Some are perma- nently injured, broken in health, incapacitated for life. They need all that America can do for them, and it is not too much. Others come back sound as he, and were so fortunate as to fit into nice niche somewhere that is enabling them to realize in a measure the ambitions they cherished before the war. These risked life and limb and gave two years and they can spare it easily. Can we allow them to?
 Praying America keeps faith with God. She remembers him (espe- cially in her need). She always will. But the boy God sent back to her.

 "Jazzing America"
 Social America finds him rather impossible. He is so dreadfully blunt and sincere. There isn't much jazz about him either. He doesn't fit in somehow, and any way we want to forget the ter rible struggle and everything con- nected with it, if possible.
 And generous America feels that he owes her lot for what she did for him over there.'' There are lots of other claims on our gener- osity and it isn't wise anyway to lionize the boy too much. He takes himself too seriously as it is.
 But the boy? What does he think? Do you suppose that he may not sometimes question, while seeking work of any kind, ' whether we who constitute Praying, Social, Generous America, are after all quite worth the sacrifice he offer ed, and so many of his comrades made?

FORD WILL BE RICH SOME DAY.

It is reported that Henry Ford's
profit in May was over $18,OOO,OOO,
and that his June profit will prob
ably be larger And fifty years ago,
long before we had automobiles or
movies" people thought everything
had been discovered and invented. 1t
just calls attention afresh to the fact
that we can never tell what is going
to happen, or when, or how. Henry
Ford has already amassed the great
est fortune in the world in manufac-
turing vehicle undreamed of a gen
GRAFTON ago, and apparently will be
able to double it or treble it before
he dies. And now this generation
knows that everything has been dis
covered and all the machines and ap-
planes invented; and next year or
the year after some plain citizen like
Henry Ford may arise to inaugurate
something that will make Henry's ac-
cumulations look like a free-will Of
fering on a rainy Sunday Every
generation has looked back so or 90
years and been amazed at the dis
lance the world has progressed in that
time.

Now those who have such a guilty
conscience need have no fear, for we
do not desire to besmirch our pages
with the story of their iniquitles,
but we wish to be distinctly under
stood; it is only because of the re-
gard we have for the decency of our
own paper and our readers, and not
because we wish to hide their wrong
doings. Of course, there is no telling
Just how long we may feel this way.
It will not do to tempt us too much
for there is just possibility that
under provocation, we may tell the
story of some particularly glarlng
infraction or misconduct on the part
OF some one who tempts us too
strongly We are human, still it is
our desire to keep the paper clean.

HOT WEATHER RULES.

Load lightly, and drive slowly.
Stop in the shade if possible.
A sponge on top Of the head, or
even a cloth, is good if KEEP wet. If
dry it is worse than nothing.
Water your horse as often as pos
sible. So long as horse is working,
water in small quantities will not
hurt him. But let him drink only a
few swallows if he is going to stand
still.
When he comes in after wo,k,
sponge off the harness marks and
sweat, his eyes, his nose and mouth,
and the dock. Wash his feet but
not his legs.
If the thermometer is rs degrees
or higher, wipe him all over with a
damp sponge, using vinegar water if
possible Do not wash the horse at
night.
Saturday night, give bran mash,
lukewarm; and add tablespoonful
of saltpetre.
Watch your horse. If he stops
sweating suddenly, or if he breathes
short and quick, or if his ears droop,
or if he stands with his legs braced
sideways, he is in danger of heat
or sun stroke and needs attention at
once
If the horse is overcome by heat,
get him into the shade, remove har-
ness and bride, wash out his mouth,
sponge him all over, shower his legs
and give him two ounces of aromatic
spirits of ammonia, or two ounces of
sweet spirits of nitre, in pint of
water; or give him pint of coffee
warm. Cool his head at once, using
cold water, or, if necessary, chopped
ice, wrapped in a cloth.
If the horse is off his feed, try him
with two quarts of oats mixed with
bran, and little water; and add a
little salt or sugar. Or give him oat-
meal cruel or barley water to drink.
Clean your horse at night, so he can
rest we'll, and clean him thoroughly.
The salt dandruff drying on his skin
makes him uncomfortable, and often
produces sores under the harness.
Do not fail to water him at night
after he has eaten his hay. If you
don't he will be thirsty all night
If it is so hot that the horse sweats
in the stable at night, tie him outside,
with bedding under him. Unless he
cools off during the night, he cannot
we'll stand the next days heat.

PRINTING A CLEAN PAPER.

gentle reader, what it means to print
a clean paper, and yet print paper
that will please its readers? There

you like your wife and daughter to

with which every town is blessed?
There are always disagreeable hap
penings being peddled about town
which would make Juicy" reading

being nothing in the paper happens
to be a party to one of these chap
penings" they almost break down

The world is made up of people
of divergent views who are generally
sincere in what they think. A sue
cessful newspaper caters to all
classes and endeavors to publish
what it considers would be of general
interest to it's readers. There is a
sharp distinction between pleasing a
reader and interesting him. To
please him you must reflect his views
to a fine point even at the risk of
being an echoe or a tool To inter
est him you must strike his attention
even though you enrage him in so
doing. Successful newspapers try to
interest not to please.
