the penalty which will attach to this
increase during the so-called base
period"
The city lowered the lawn rate last
year and It may be that the finances
Of the water department could not
stand q further cut in rates now. It
would seem only fair, however, that
the base period be adjusted In order
not to inflict undue cost upon those
who have used the city water supply
generously during the April drouth.
This could be done by calculating the
average winter use for the months OF
November to March, inclusive, ex-
Guiding the early part OF April from

Society's Responsibility

0OClety , NeSPUlsSlUIAlIy
No man today can say that he Is
self-sustaining, says Bishop G. H. Le-
Blond - st. Joseph, Mo. For that
reason tie social service agency has
m essential part to play In any mod
ern society.
"A board Of directors sitting in a
little room hundreds Of miles from a
community" Bishop LeBlond told an
audience Of Ohio charities workers,
Can change the fortunes Of that
community by the stroke Of a pen.
Whole families are made destitute
and the children Of these families
suffer"
Hence, the bishop pointed out, So
ciety must be forever alert to preserve
the stability Of families which are the
victims Of movements that they can
not control.
We have passed the pioneer period,
when men really could stand or fall
by their own efforts. Cooperation to
help those who have been caught in
the complex shiftings Of modern life
Is one OF the jobs society cannot
overlook.

SELECTING JURY TO
TRY VAN HOOK MAN
Three Others Plead Guilty and
Are Sentenced in u. S.
Court at Minot

Minot, N. D., April 26.-R- Selec-
ton Of . jury was begun In federal
court here Tuesday afternoon for the
trial Of + q. Ranum. former vice
president Of q bank ct Van Hook, who
Is changed with false entries and mis-
application Of funds.
PRICK 70 tho calling Of the Ranum
case for trial, Judge Andrew Miller
sentenced three defendants who had
entered pleas Of guilty.
John A. Harter, former postmaster
at Corinth, was sentenced to pay q
fine Of $300.72, the amount which he
admitted having been short In his
accounts when his office was checked
by postal inspector last November.
Judge Miller gave Harter 10 days In
which to pay the fine. # he does not
pay, he must 60 to jail.
p. q. Woodwork and Walter z.
Paulson Of Stanley, who pleaded
guilty to smuggling . small quantity
Of wine and beer from Canada, were
fined $25 each. Both told the court
they had never sold any liquor and
that they intended the beer and vino
for their own use.
In sentencing Woodwork and
Paulson, Judge Miller told the two,
who are both IS years old, 'sYou made
. mistake. I think you realize that.
In fact, most Of you boys do make
mistakes when you get to monkeyins
with that stuff"
Harter told Judge Miller that most
OF the money which he was charged
with embexzling had gone toward the
support Of his wife and two children.
After the shortage was discovered,
Harter borrowed money, he said, to
replace the amount. He has been .
laborer this winter on CWA projects
In Williams county. When HarteP
was first questioned about the short
age, . postoffice inspector told tho
court, he attributed most Of the short
age to q robbery Of the postoffics
which he said had occurred several
earlier.

WHY THE POLITICIANS RUN THE
HEALTH DEPARTMENT


The administration Of public health
Is subject to the whim Of the political
boss In every burg in Yankeeland
from Hickville on the Hudson to Hot
Dog City, California. With every elec-
ton the political gang that wins i'm
mediately turns out the incumbents
Of the better berths In the health de-
partment and puts deserving work
ers'' In their places. Public health
Is as solid patronage racket for the
politicians as is the conduct Of our
prisons everywhere In this crooked
country.
A woman whose husband works In
q foundry asks whether fumes from
coke are poisonous. At the foundry
they have used heaters all thru the
plant this past winter, burning coke
and having no pipe or flue connection
to carry the fumes out Of the work
room. Her husband suffers constant
~ from splitting headache, and 50 do
many other workmen employed there.
The woman thinks 1t is against the
law, but her husband says no, that
state inspectors are around about once
q month and II it was against the law
the inspectors wouldn't allow 1t.
Naive, the dumb cattle are about
these matters, eh. fellow capitalists?
Now II the grait-ridden town where
this condition exists were blessed With
q plain unbeholden health officer
something after the fashion OF the
one who has made Rochester, N. T..
famous-this good woman would new
er have thought Of writing to me
about the matter. She would have
reported 1t to the local DR.. Goler. and
he would have had stovepipes on those
furnaces or stoves in short order or
the owners Of the plant would have
found themselves in serious trouble.
OF course any such heaters, no mat
ter what fuel is burned In them, must
have stovepipes to carry the products
Of combustion out of the room.
A coke fire, q coal fire, q kerosene
or oil burner, a gas stove, or even
q wood fire, may give off the deadly
odorless carbon monoxide gas or fumes
If there is a closed or insufficient
draft or If there is any leak in the
stovepipe or flue. It takes only q
small pollution Of the air Of a shop or
room with carbon monoxide to pro-
duce poisoning, and splitting head
ache is one common sign Of mild car
bon monoxide poisoning.
