ton from New England to the central and the
southern colonies, In case the British should
send an expedltionary force from New York. He
also strengthened the existing defenses. SO much
general satisfaction was there with Kosciuszko's
work, that Washington In a dispatch says, "To
his care and sedulous appreciation the American
people are indebted for the defenses of West
Point" 1t was this Polish soldier who urged that
West Point be chosen when 1t was later decided
to found a training school for American youth.
he spent two of the six years he was In this
country at West Point, where a monument was
erected In his memory In 1928.
Kosciuszko's next service was In the Carolinas
campaign with General Greene and 1t is said
that Greene's escape from CORVALLIS during his
memorable retreat was due largely to the work
OF the Polish officer In constructing pontoon
bridges which allowed Greene's army to cross
rivers before the British could overtake Il.
The close of the Revolution found Kosciuszko
a brigadier-general and a member of the Society
Of the Cincinnati. BY vote of congress American
citizenship was conferred upon him In October,
1888, and he was granted 500 acres of land on
the Scloto river In Perry county, Ohio. which
he later sold.
American liberty having been won Kosciuszko
decided to return to his own land and fight again
for Its freedom. To follow the activities of the Po-
lisR patriot after his return to his native land
Is to follow the stormy days OF a Poland fight
ing for freedom against heavy odds. In 1891
Poland, under a new constitution. became a linz
tied monarchy with ministerial responsibility.
Invidious class distinctions were done AWAY with.
But the new constitution could not stand
against the old confederation. Polish territory
was a desirable corridor for surrounding powers.
The little Polish army under Kosciuszko and
Prince Joseph Ponfatowski did what 1t could. For
three months 1t kept back all invaders. But
King Stanislaus II of Poland, doubtful of sue
cess. acceded to the demands of the confedera-
ton. Poland was again parceled out to her neigh
bors and reduced to one-third her original d.
mansions.
Undismayed, Kosciuszko and bis followers
withdrew to Leipsic. There they laid their plans
for another battle. In this encounter they were
partly victorious, recovering considerable lost
territory. But the game of war against an enemy

CERMAK'S SUCCESSOR CHOSEN

The Council of the city of Chicago,
the nations second city, in Tuesday
nights session, chose a temporary
successor to the late mayor, Anton j.
Cermak. in the person of Alderman
Frank Corr. veteran politician of that
city. The choosing of Mr.. Corr who
is pledged to uphold the policies of
the late mayor, would indicate that
Mr. Cermak's policies were satisfac-
tory to a majority of the council men,
bers and if satisfactory to them they
must have been to the greater num-
Der of the citizens there. At any
rate when a successor is finally
chosen by election, pretty good in
dication can be had as to whether the
people thought the efforts of Cermak
in his campaign to clean up the city
were as sincere as publicity would
have them seem.
Many newspapers spoke of Mr.. Ger
max in glowing terms as being the
best mayor that Chicago ever had and
this struck responsive chord in the
people throughout the country due to
the way he died.
Mr.. COrr's election by the council,
however, was not entirely without Cp-
position, for he was opposed by Is
members.

A WAVE OF OPTIMISM

We sincerely hope that the wave OF
optimism which is in evidence over
the radio and in almost every paper
since the gradual re-opening of the
nations banks is reaching out into
the smaller communities. Stocks are
soaring and deposits are growing. say
the reports and in some cities the
merchants are staging what they term
New Deal Days" on which they Of
fer bargains to their trade.
The American people have been so
accustomed to flashes in the pan dur
ing the past four years that if this up
turn is at Last permanent and definite
il will be welcomed with JOY and will
place new hope in the hearts of those
millions who have been watching on
the sidelines while their loved ones
have been denied the full necessities
OF life. After ALL the part of the upturn
that will be welcomed most is when
these able bodied people can be put
back to work. Then and then only
will the upturn be permanent even
though confidence may have to be
established and fear banished first
before this is possible.
We are hoping this is the start, but
something else will have to be ac-
complished to aid it and that is a
good form of farm relief legislation.

HOW'D YOU LIKE A PAID BILLs
capitol TimeS)

The users of light and water serv-
ice in Holton, Kansas, received well
come New Years gift this year from
their city government The monthly
bills for these utility services, when
opened, were all found to be stamped
paid" Service for the month of
December was rendered absolutely
free,-a gift of the municipality owned
and operated light, power, and water
plants.
The excellent financial condition Of
the HOlton municipal utilities made
this gift possible. During the past
year. despite low rates and non
skimping, efficient service, a surplus
was accumulated by the utilities
above normal requirements. The city
commissioners pondered the manner
in which it could best be used In the
interests of the consumers. They de-
cided upon the gift of a months serv-
ice free.
Have you ever heard of a privately
owned public utility in or out of the
big power combinations sending out
pdio uliio do SlIto W liiC COuSuLucI6.
Have you ever heard of privite utfl-
ity using surplus earnings for COM
munity public works, buildings, play
grounds, and streets? Have you ever
heard of a private utility turning sur
plus earnings over to the city fathers
so that local taxes might be reduced
or abolished altogether. No. and
neither have we. But scores of mum
icipally owned and operated light.
power, and water plants are doing
these things to the everlasting benefit
of their home communities.
Some day Madison. with its private
ly owned power and light utility max
ing net profits of nearly a million a
year, will wake up to the lesson of
other communities that are finding
public utility ownership practical and
profitable.

books being audited by a board OF
audit before the bank closed at Will
low River, and there is where our
school took a financial tumble which
we cannot get over. And that's why
we must make a change.
When the bank closed we had enor-
nous amount of outstanding school
orders i'm the bank and the district
paid interest on these orders for many
years before the affair was settled in
the courts. We paid large sums for
attorneys fees, witness mileage, court

was signed after | resigned from that
board. Why was it necessary to sign
an agreement with Mr.. Erickson to
get your own property back, or why
was it necessary for the escrow in
the first place? So your statements
are very incorrect. The S34, S63.92
was of course largely paid for orders
outstanding before the bank closed.

cumulated while this matter was in
litigation.
Records will show that other sums
were also paid for this same purpose.
These large amounts were mostly
levied against the taxable property
of the district. Look up the tax rates
for all those years. This you cannot
deny. Yes, the people will not stand

WRITES ON BUTTERMAKER'S

After listening to several remarks
in regard to buttermaker's salary the

ton is not out of the way. Either
some people do not understand the
sliding scale or don't stop toy think,
when they will express themselves
like this: The sliding scale is alright,
if we don't make anything on butter
fat, the buttermaker does not either,
but if butterfat comes up he will make
pretty good. he may even get up to
$4,000. In order to get this amount
butterfat will need to be 3S cents a
don't think anybody expects it to be
that for some time to come.
| have no objection to sliding
scale if started right. and l also be-
lieve in economizing if done right, but
don't believe at the present time
more misused than the two words
economy and cooperation. You can
judge for yourself if the creamery
board did right or wrong after look
ing the scale over as follows:
One-quarter cent a pound and $50 a
month based on IS cents butterfat
and S. a month less for each cent
going down below IS cents and SIS per
month raise for each cent going up
from IS cents will be at last years

a pound and $40 a month, $1597.75;
at 12c and "A cent pound and $50

Going the other way it will be, at

so forth. And remember, this includes
that he furnishes all help necessary,
and we have always demanded COM
petent help. If we farmers are ever
to get on our feet I don't believe it is
by cutting everybody down to our
present standard, but more in trying
to get ours up.
