A girl was born to Mr.. and Mrs.

Friday night marked the beginning
of a cold spell here, which it is
hoped will not be equalled again
this winter. The thermometer dropped
to 30 degrees below zero and for five
days in succession now (up to We'd

40 degrees below. That's hard on the

Some time ago it was decided at a
board of directors meeting of the
local telephone company that the
rates for telephone service should be
reduced and Immediately a request
was made to the Railroad & Ware
house Commission to grant a rate
reduction. This has been granted and
therefore the regular monthly bills,
which have been purposely delayed
this month will go to the subscribers
with the reduction mentioned. The
company feels that this is substan-
tial reduction and that several new
subscribers or rather several of the
old subscribers will want to renew
the service. See the advertisement
in another column of this issue of the

Congress out of its inertia sufficiently
to formulate or consider any legisla-
tion for unemployment relief or for
correcting such conditions. They
have succeeded in favorably report
ing a bill from committee which pro-
vides for emergency hunger relief and
other steps to supplement the de-
pleted state and local funds which go
to care for the millions of destitute
citizens. The House has done moth
ing.
In another committee on that side,
a witness prominent in the Federation
of Labor astounded his hearers with
Of New York bankers, acting through
interlocking directories of various
Influential corporations, had actually
succeeded in getting a strange hold
on our great business and Industrial
groups, and were bringing employees
to state of actual servitude. He but
tressed his charges with voluminOus
testimony and evidence collected dur
ing an investigation of several months.
As a result, the Senate under the lead
ership of Norris, Judiciary committee
chairman, may make an exhaustive
and take proper steps to correct it..
Also backing the inquiry will be the
groups interested in seeing purchas-
ing power restored throughout the ma
ton in order to insure permanently
improved commodity prices.
All these things are significant.
But they are such a small part of the
complete picture. which cannot be
fully recited in letters such as these.
On every side are expressions of deep
est concern; word comes indirectly
from the incoming President that ire
mendous plans are in the air for con-
solidation of all transportation groups,
for instance. Preliminary studies are
also under way to devise, if possible,
one central governmental agency to
control the activities and the rates of
all utility groups, electric and gas,
pipe line and oil, telephone and radio.
Persistent work goes forward looking
to expansion of credit and currency,
to new policy toward mortgaged
farmers. to an Overhauling of one aft
er the other of acts directly affecting
major economic and social problems.
Prospects are not bright for the large
number of incoming Members of Con-
gress; their responsibilities will be as
heavy as those of any Congress in the
Nations history.

your duty and obligation to obey
them. IF you don't you may be re-
sponsible for a serious and even
fatal accident
Automobile collisions at intersec-
tions last year cost the lives of
$500 persons, injured 100000 others
and were responsible for a total of
$50, 200 accidents. statistics of the

two per cent of all pedestrian acci-
dental deaths, or 3,170, and 99,80Q

tersections.
It is the driver who sees fav-
orable signal light some distance
off, and then accelerates his speed
in an attempt to pass the intersec-
ton before the signal changes, who
is a dangerous driver. The speed
of his car makes it difficult for him
to stop if he reaches the intersec-
ton after the light changes. Then
his chances for causing an accident
are immeaSurable.

YOUR INSPECTION

The merchant and manufacturer who advertise,
actually are placing their merchandise before you
for inspection They invite your most critical atten-

advertisements so speak, say to their products:

If the manufacturer and merchant did not have
confidence in their they would hesitate to call
attention to them For advertising rigidy tests the
maker the seller and the merchandise. BUSINESS
so TESTED, AND FOUND NOT WANTING, IS
PROSPEROUS
In the long run, you depend on the man who

programs are one Of the oldest OF
radio features. They made hit
the first might and have been con-
tinuously successful ever since.
What about that first night!
The Debut Of an Hour.
Well, it is written in the record
book that at 10:321s p. m. pre-
ciseiy, on the night Of December
80, 1925, Cities Service presented
over WEAF, New York, WEEI,
Boston, WEAR, Cleveland, and
KSD, st. Louis, a program of in
strumental and vocal music; there
was mixed quartet and an or
chestra. The first number was the
"Serenade Espagnol" by Bizet. Be-
hind it all was a belief, convic-
ton that Americas millions rep
resented an audience of sound
musical taste. It really was the
beginning of an adventure story.
The next bit Of action came in
| the form of flood of letters. The
radio listeners had been invited tc
suggest programs. They did. Anc
they kept on suggesting programs
The thrilling part of it was thai
