STATE BOARD
DRAFTS RULES
FOR UTILITIES
Order May Force Railroads
to Get Permission to
Stop Trains.

Indiana'S public service commits
sion today is comforting on two or
ders that may set precedent for
certain phases of regulation for
common carriers in the State and
. curb to the point of extinction the
wildcat" electric line jobbing
The order dealing with the rail-
roads involves the manner in which
train service may be abandoned
and was prepared by Chairman
Frank Singleton. The one dealing
with the electric lines is by Com
missioner Harvey Harmon.
Abandonment of passenger train
service on the Monon Railroad be-
tween Medaryville and Michigan
City is the case in point for the
Singleton order that awaits COM
mission approval.
State Order Ignored
This service was abandoned in
May without any notice to the COM
omission. In a public hearing before
the commissioners, the railroad at
torneys commended that the road can
abandon service and it is then up
to the travelling public effected to
institute action for hearing before
the commission.
They were ordered to re-establish
the two trains last week, but have
refused to comply. Singleton's re-
port today is based on motion for
rehearing, which probably will be
denied. He is expected to rule that
notice of abandonment must be
heard before the commission and
such action instituted by the road
desiring to remove a train and not
by the effected citizenry.
Ban 'WiIdcat" Lines
The Harmon order is one de-
manding lower connection fees be
charged by the Belleview Power and
Light. Company, which operates a
high-tension line furnishing cleo
tricity to rural districts.
From the specific order a general
rule will be deduced which will
bring Ill such lines under commits
sion control. Until the present time
such utilities have operated as wild
cats" and cases have been known
where line carrying $500 volts was
put but ten fleet from the ground
and the line strung through mass
of telephone wires, Harmon said.

SPRING THAWS CAUSE
RIVERS TO OVERFLOW

Both the Minnesota and the Cotton
wood rivers are out of their banks as
the result of the rainfall during the
past week and the spring thaws.
Weather observer Alex Henle reports
that a third of an inch of moisture
went into the ground.
Water is now running over the
bank on the north side of the river
in the vicinity of the Eagle Roller
Mill and the road leading to the old
wagon bridge is under water. 1t has
been reported by mill workmen that
the river rose three feet in twelve
hours and is continually rising high
er and higher. Water must be about
twenty feet deep now in places. The
water is sweeping over the banks on
this side of the river also, depending
of course on the height of the banks.

and Mrs. Jos. Shank. The presence
of the couple here was known but the
wedding was not surmised.
Gene has been receiving so much
publicity of late weeks in the press
of the state that it appealed to him
and his bride that it would be some
thing of a novelty to keep the we'd
ding news a secret and relatives and
few officials were pledged to secrecy,
but just give the reporters plenty of
time!
This airplane romance has been
budding for some time. The bride
is a charming and attractive young
lady. She is the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Kelly, residents of Mime
apolis and has been employed both
as telephone opesator and as sales
lady.
Gene and his bride will reside in
Minneapolis. Not long ago the groom
was given the position of chief pilot
with the Pioneer Always, new con-
Germ, which among other things has
the state agency for the Waco plane.
Not long since Gene received much
publicity for being the first Ameri-
can to bring the loop the loop record
for airplanes to this country. The
record has since gone back to France.
The day before the wedding, in flying
over the country with another pilot,
Gene saw an automobile drop through
the ice at Lake Pepin with the rear
wheels, and hooked onto the car with
his plane and lowed it to safety, just
as the car was about to break
through completely. This is thought
to be the first instance of this kind
to be resulted in pictures of the event
appearing in scores of metropolitan
newspapers. Morgan friends will
join with twin city friends of the
couple in extending hearty congratu-
lations.-Morgan Messenger.

THE HOLE IN THE DYKE.

Most of us are familiar with the
poem that tells of the Dutch boy who
found leak in the dyke. He saved
the town from destruction by plug
ging the hole with his thumb and
standing at the job all night until he
was found asleep from exhaustion in
the morning. This was an unusual
instance of First-Aid, yet First-Aid it
was and saved the town.
In many homes =. there are holes
in the dykes that if neglected allow
the surge of sickness and accident to
take their toll. These holes should
be stopped the flood should be
halted before it becomes flood.
There is one sure way to be prepar-
ed to nip in the bud illness and
injury before they become serious.
That was is to have First-Aid mat
terials constantly on hand.
This does not mean that the home
bathroom should be turned into
hospital or dispensary. The few cub

plies needed for all emergencies.
