VALDOSTA, February 11.-That
the city water Plant mas sustained a
total loss of $7,5O4.O9 per year IN
the last five years was shown to the
council by Councilman L. ]. Miller
when he stated that instead of rec
ommending a change in rates, he
desired that they should remain as
at present.
Mr.. Miller stated to the council
that recently he had thought Of ash
ing that some changes be made, but
in the meantime he had asked City
Engineer w. H. Gainey to give him
the actual cost of operating, as
against the income, and this was
prepared covering a period of five
years. The statement showed that
in 1918 the city lost $833.5O; in
1916 the loss amounted to $4,694,-
sc, while in 1920 the city's loss
went still higher amounting to &c.

/ can make goods
But to Ruth merely having a
good position and making money
did not make the man. Bruce had
already proven his worth, and be-
sides she and her father needed
him.
When they told Remington of
their happiness he advised them to-
wait a while before marrying. he,
was not as sanguine as Ruth and
felt sure that, in spite of few days
respite from persecution, that
neither Van Dyke nor the Olympus
Coal Company had completely
given up. Until his affairs were on
4 frmer foundation it would be the
part of wisdom to wait So Ruth
and Bruce abided by his judgment
and, in the meantime, enjoyed each
others companionship.
One day they visited the cavern
in which was the lava pit. There
they lived over again that thrilling
moment when Burton first rescued
Ruth. They thought they were
alone, and the sound of pebbles
crunching under heavy footsteps
startled them They looked up to
see a tall, lean-faced man, a KNAPP
sack slung over his back, regarding
them questioningly.
My names Timothy Hawkins"
he volunteered. Il own the land
above this cavern Who are your"
This was surprising information.
Bruce answered 1--WE are scien-
lists and interested in this lava pit"
He pointed to the well of molten
lava boiling at their feet
We'll" drawled the stranger
who said he was Hawkins, IF you
find anything valuable around here
1t is more than | have ever done
and I've prospected this land for
years. I'd sell out pretty cheap"
Fearing a fresh complication in
her fathers plans, Ruth spoke.
My father will buy your land.
Come to my house this afternoon
nd the sale can be arranged"
Hawkins was delighted at the
prospect of the sale OF what was to
him utterly worthless land, and
promised to call. Ruth and Bruce
fastened home to. break the news
to Remington, who was happy at
being able to at last secure the
rights to the land, the owner of
which he had heretofore been un-
able to locate.
Judith, always alert in the inter
ests of her employers, the Olym-
pus Coal Company, learned of the
anticipated transaction and stole
away long enough to relay the news
o Jim Stain. He had little time
to act, but, at all costs, this sale
would have to be delayed, and he
started in action a plan.
Never dreaming that every min
ute of delay. was in favor of the
coal company, Remington leisurely
discussed terms with Timothy
Hawkins.
Il think it's only worthless land"
Hawkins said, "But you can have
It if you pay what you think is
fair price"
That raised a fine point, for, if
Remington were eventually able to
realize his hope of manufacturing
Fuelite, the land would be valuable
to him. Otherwise it was as worth
less to him as to Hawkins. Finally,
however, the price was settled and
the bill of sale written.
Hawkins was about to place
thereon his signature when he
paused and said, Before l sign
this, / want you to know that you
are buying only my share>| The
other half belongs to my brother
who disappeared years ago"
This. of course. was a cnmnlica-

Bruce Burton, with several we'll
aimed blows, threw his opponent
from his saddle and spurred the
horse forward, hoping to catch up
with Ruth Remington before her
trail became lost Little did he
dream that he would find the girl
he loved hanging on with her last
ounce of strength to the leather
reins that swung over the edge OF
the broken bridge, from which she
had been thrown.
With infinite care and words of
encouragement to the tired girl, he
pulled her up to safety and into his
arms. Words of love rushed to
KS lips but Ruth was thinking only
Of pushing on Besides, Stains
gang would soon be upon them
again.
The blackboard was useless and
they would have to ride the unsad-
died team. They cut across coun-
try, completely leading Stains men
astray, and continued on to Van
Dykes cabin, feeling safe from
further hindrances.
Back in the Remington home,
however, the absence of everyone
was being taken advantage OF by
Peter Van Dyke. This personal
enemy of Robert Remington, ada
mant in his purpose of vengeance,
had found the loose brick that
swung open the entrance in the
fireplace to Remington's under
ground laboratory. He entered
and, after thorough search OF files
and desk, he discovered the form
ula for Fuelite and the Remington
patent papers therefor. These were
quickly transferred from their hid
ing place to Van Dykes pocket.
Re-arranging everything SO that, at
first glance, no one would suspect a.
marauder, he left as he entered
unseen.
Well pleased with his little coup,
Van Dyke returned to his cabin
and was himself due for a little
surprise, for he found Ruth and
Burton about to depart with his
prisoner, they having easily over
come the solitary guard. However,
now that he had the patent, Rem,
ington was welcome to his free
dom.
Since you did not turn them
over to me yourself, Miss Reming-
ton" Van Dyke could not resist
the temptation to gloat over his
success. At have helped myself" He
pulled the papers far enough from
his pocket for them to see that he
spoke the truth.
With a cry of rage, Remington
sprang at Van Dyke. There was
needed only a glance from Ruth to-
Bruce for him to understand herr
intention. She rushed to pull off
her father. AS she did, Bruce
Jumped on Van Dyke from the rearl
and held his arms locked behind

Quick, father! / have the pa,

Father and daughter rushed for
the horses, while Bruce securely
bound Yam Dyke and followed
soon catching up with them. Their
trip back to the Remington ranchi
was undisturbed and Ruth breathedl
a sigh of deep relief.
Several days of peace and quiet
followed-days during which She

Clara zetkin Speaks

The next speaker was Comrade
Clara Zetkin who was greeted with
loud and prolonged cheers.
Comrade Zetkin: If we are now en-
gagged in weighing and reviewing the
road already traversed, it is Because
we wish to outline the path for the
next courageous advance, for we are
all united in the conviction and the
desire that we must speed the courses
of the revolution. In this respect the
central points are the October retreat
of the German Communist Party and
the tactics of the united front, two
subjects of international Importance.
We have listened to the statement of
the majority representatives OF the
German Communist Party about the
October defeat and its causes. We
were entertained to a grotesque mis-
representation of the past, and to a
heavenly glorification Of the present.
It was asserted that the October de-
feat was the inevitable outcome of the
petty bourgeois, opportunistic policy
pursued by the Communist Party since
1921, which was calculated to liquidate
the role of the Communist Party as an
independent and leading revolutionary
class party of the proletariat, and thus
to deprive It of it's right to exist.
There are several facts. which give
the lie to this assertion. We are told
here about Brandlerism and Radekism,
regardless OF the fact that until quite
recently Radek was one OF the most
ardent champions Of the left wing.
Brandler, who is reproached with hav-
ing pursued his policy quite conscious
ly and systematically since 1921 did
