Author OF Connie Morgan

Boards Request

Sank Centre1born novelist, James

cation this week that he would
send the Bryant Library autograph
ed copies Of his works. Their arri-
val will complete the display Of

ors.

Mr.. Hendryx, whose books are
widely circulated from the local in
stitution, replied to a request from
Mr.. Caughren. An early letter seek
ing copies Of his autographed
works went unanswered.
Mr.. Hendryx SAID IN his letter, II
haven't complete set of them lex
cept one copy in my files). How
ever, I will see what I have, and
maybe my publishers can supply
most Of them. believe some of the
earlier ones are out Of print"
It was only a short time ago that
the idea, lain dormant for years in
the minds of many here, bore fruit
when Miss Bernice Finnegan, IL
brarian, wrote both Lewis and Hen
dryx, seeking autographed works.
Mr.. Lewis sent his Immediately, a
shipment including five of his
most famous works. Although cir
culation figures are indefinite on
the amount Of persons that read
both the Hendryx and Lewis works
it has been indicated that the wide
sweep in ages that enjoy the boys
north woods series of Hendryx
make him the most popular author
here from that standpoint. Plans
are now being made for locked

authors works.

Electric Rates

Federal Power Commission
Survey Shows City AS
One of Highest
NEED FOR REDUCTION
100 KilOwatts At Proctor Sell
At $3.50; At Sank
Centre S6.25

A report by the Federal Power
Commission, just presented to Con-
gress, shows that Minnesota house
holders pay greatly varying a.
mounts for the same quantity Of
electricity. The report stated that
virtually all reductions and rate
changes for electric power were
made during the past two years In
more than four-fiftns Of Minneso-
ta's communities of 1000 population
or more.
Sank Centre was listed In the
cost Of electricity to the consumer
in its bracket, in fact it was listed
as one Of the highest in the state.
In comparison Of communities OF
$500 to 5000 population, bills for %
kflowatt hours would run from 81
at Detroit Lakes to $3.50 at Luv-
erne; for 100 kilowatt hours from
$3.50 at Proctor to $6.25 at Sank
Centre; from Sc at Ltchfield to
$1O.22 at East Grand Forks.
The above would indicate that
Sank Centre should have a reduc-
ton in rates within the near fu-
ture, and we understand the Water,
Light and Power Commission now
has before it, for consideration a
schedule for reduction. It Is to be
hoped that when the reduction Is
made that householders, who now
pay the highest rates proportion
ately, be considered as entitled to
the largest reduction. Hence, great
er reductions should be made in the
top brackets Of electric service
where the small user will get the
benefit.
Virginia, Mimi, appeared to have
the lowest general level Of charges
according to the report, and other
low charges were in Fergus Falls,
Moorhead, Detroit Lakes and Proc
tor. High electric bills were found
in st. Paul, Duluth, Winona, Albert
Lea, Luverne and Sank Centre.
The commission found in its rate
survey that in some cases users of
electricity are charged more for 100
kilowatt hours than for $50 kilovyatt
hours.
During the two year period fol-
lowing Jan. 1, 1885, residential rate
changes were made in $50 Minneso-
Ia communities, or 84.1 percent Of
the 535 Minnesota communities for
which such bills are shown. These

The work is a sideswiping glance
at a modern era and the place OF

one review of the book stated. The

Postal employees and Community

Postal employees in attendance at
this meeting were: L. o. Gray, John

This meeting was called for the
purpose of opening roads, especially

interested in this merely to give
better public service and to make 1t
possible to get mail to every mail
box on the rural routes. Their pur-
pose was not accomplished at this

in telling of the meeting said:

the postal departments interest Is
it is not a question of
whether they build proper roads or
