Mr. Morse was probably selected as
an example for the millionaire in jail ;
because he violated the rule which
prohibits stealing from another thief, ,
which is a serious thing in New York.
Stealing from the common people is,
of course, another thing.
The United States government is at
the present time a large owner of I
water-power privileges, and investi- ,
gation of those privileges is a matter
of public duty. In the absence of
specific information concerning its
value, a water power may be easily
acquired, and water-power rights have
thus gone from tne control of the
government for’ a fraction of their I
real value, not for useful development, J
but for speculative holding, which
involves keeping them for
long
periods in a nonproductive state.
Enormous water powers outside of
the public domain are being produc- |
ed at extremely low valuations, and I
although the development of these
powers will undoubtedly be of ulti
mate value to the people at large,
their extent and value should be
matters of public record.

POLK COUNTY* SCHOOL OFFI
CERS’ CONVENTION.
The annual convention of the Polk
County School Officers’ association
which was held in Dallas on Saturday,
December 5th. was one of the best ever
held, if not the best, as the attendance
of school officers was much greater than
ever before and the interest good.
Principal R. L. Traver, of Monmouth,
gave a very excellent talk on some of
the necessary supplies that a rural
school should have. State Superin-
tendantJ. H. Ackerman, Hon. <!. W.
Mver, T. W. Drunk and A. .). Shipley
talked on the state school funds and the
unit of administration. Many different
subjects of interest to the rural schools
of Polk county were discussed by the
school officers present, and C. L. Starr
gave a talk on the subject of elementary
agriculture in the rural schools and

It is economical becausejit can be quickly turned off when not
needed. With gas or kerosene there is the temptation to let light
burn, when not needed, to save bother of lighting and adjusting.
In some homes the electric light bill amounts to only about $2 per
month. You can probably get some kind of artificial light for less
money than electric light, but does it save you anything when it
limits opportunities for work and recreation, ruins your eyesight,
smokes your walls, mars decorations and increases household work.
You can probably save a dollar tomorrow by going without your
meals, but it wouldn’t be economy. It is not so much what you
save, but how you save, that counts. We are always ready to ex
plain tfie “ ins and onts” of the lighting proposition to you. Call
