'NEWSIES' SEE
EVERYTHING AT
WORKMAN SHOWS

"Dad Howard and his newsboys
were the guests of the Wortham
Shows last night and what time
they had!
The boys are those who deliver
your Imperial Valley Press every
afternoon. Dad' is the circula.
tion manager, the youngster who
sees that you get your paper on time.
Just who had the best time is a
matter of conjecture but the group
took in everything, rode all the
rides, saw the four-legged girl, the
armlfss and leglcss man, the last Of
the Aztccs, the freak animals and
dozens of other attractions.
Fred +. Lawlcy, general manager
Of the Wortham Shows took tn"
evening off and became one of the
boys. The affable manager person
ally directed the "paper throwers "
through the entire show and got as
much kick out of the tour as the
boys themselves.
"Dad who is 73 years young
was particularly impressed with the
four legged girl. " Dad" has seen
Il great many females of the species
during his soiourn on this planet
but a girl with 4 quartet of pedal
eXtremeties was something that
heretofore he had never witnessed.
This morning he is still wondering.
The boys-how they scampercd
from one show to another-from the
caterpillar ride to the airplanc
swings-from the flappcr hotel to
the penitentiary-from Sampson,
the 30 foot python, to Roy, the
petrified man.
Back and forth, across the mid,
way, they followed "Dad' and
Fred Lawley. Everything was free
and all they had to do to get in or
get on was to wave their red news
paper boys cards.
The barkers and the show man
ayers went out of their way 10 see

fighting. The attendant showed
them the inside workings-a really
marvellous hookup Of wires and
springs that made everything rcalis-
tis. The guns fired, the soldiers
moved, the flares flashed and even
the company dog mascot wagged his
tail.
"Dad' Howard and his boys left
the Press office at 7 O'Clock last
night in three cars. They were met
at the entrance by Manager Lawley.
More than three hours were spent in
the enclosure and the only regret Of
the boys was that al good little
boys who expect to 20 to heaven
should be in bed before l0:3O, even
on show nights.

Commission Decides to Abolish
Minimum Rate System
EFFECTIVE ON MARCH |
Consumption During Past Year sis,-
$4,000 Gallons Have Been Csrd
Officers Reelected Ry Boarl-
Woman Hurt Gets $1,000.

A small service charge for water
meters in use in the city. to b. add
ed to the bills for the amount Of &C
tual water CONSUMED. and the aho,-
jshment Of tn, OIL minimum rate
charge WAS decided upon by the
boa I'd Of water commissioners at a
meeting Friday afternoon.
The new service Charge, which
will become effective on March /,
was adopted by the boar'i as a
means of conserving water used by
consumers and no additional rev.
enue will be derived ly the depart
ment by the action.
The service charge will bn ~
cents every three months for The
customary f1ve-e,shths inch motor
which Is installed in all dwellings
and on practically e"ery service
pipe in the city except for con-
paratively small n1,ni"r ri the
larger buildings md factories The
minimum rate charge tor this type
Of service at the rres'n time is 81
A study of conditions by tn" water
department offHia.. has Indicated
that a large percentage Of tn" wat >r
consumers do not US enough water
SO that the rate charge brings Tine
actual amount Of the 'Gil dboN, the
minimum charge. hi other Ne
stances consumers, with only &c"
iSr RI,
iessly and with muc, waste due to
the fact that they never use the
minimum amount.
1t Is expected that n number OF
the smaller consumers will benefit
by the change. as the service charge
in addition to tho bill for the actual
amount OF water consumed will not
reach the old minimum rate. The
service charge adopted by the de-
partment is at the same rate for
which charges have been made in
the past for additional meters on a
single service. These additional
meters will be played and charge for
when requested at the same rates
as formerly. The placing Of such
extra meters Is often arranged in
cases where a landlord wishes 10
know how much water each tenant
is consuming.
The service charge rates for the
larger meters above the -eighths
inch size. Of which there arc COM
paratively few in use. will be as fol-
