The fight against the board for the recall has been conducted by the parent-teacher circles of the city, which have set forth a series of allegations against the school directors and the super intendent.

That rates for light and power charged by the Puget Sound International Rail way & Power company In Everett and vicinity are unreasonable, unjust and more than sufficient is charged by the public service commission. The utility company is ordered within 10 days to file a reduced schedule of rates applying to all light and power service, which will yield the company an annual return of 8 per cent on the value of the light and power systems. The company is ordered to cancel all contracts in conflict with the new schedule and the city is notified to terminate all franchises between th6 city and the company insofar as they conflict with the new rates. The order of the commission for reduction of rates for light and power service followed a finding by the commission that the valuation of the light and power systems of the com pany for rate purposes on Decembr 31. 1918. was J600.861. of which $445. 642 was apportiond to light and $55,- 209 to power. After paying all operat ing expenses and taxes and allowing for depreciation at 3.05 per cent, the combined light and power system gave a net return of 15.13 per cent in 1918. For the same period and after making the same allowances the return from power was 43.60 per cent and from light 11.61 per cent- would result In general injury to American prestige in foreign coun tries.

As a teepee is no better than the skins it is built of, so, as with all other things that have been done to make our big, over-sire, flexible, extra ply, hand-built, wrapped tread "D" Type tire, the one best tire on the market,, it is natural that my people should be as particular in the selection of rau) materials as they are in the actual building of the product. Only the finest quality of fabric, compounds and rubber will loosen the purse strings of my people. Even as the she bear rejects unclean food for her cubs do my people refuse acceptance of those raw materials that do not reach the high "Savage" standard. And sometimes we have been instructed to re-ship the rejected materials to other tire factories where the standards are not so high; even as carrion is consumed by the vultures. My people are famed in all the land as being hard to please with raw materials, and great is our pride because of it. I SALUTE YOU, O MOTORISTS! LITTLE HEAP HAS SPOKEN..
