Danenhower, SATURDAY M O R N IN G LIGHTING RATES A » there seem to be a wrong impression with regard to the proposed change in the light ing rates, we offer the following that all may know just what it means: About eight yean ago the rating on lamps was changed from a candle-power rating and since that time, as you well know, have been rated by watts. Therefore we are asking for a change of tariff from the candle power rating and put on the watt rating. On figuring this new rate there has been added 11-100 of a cent per watt and then give a 10 % discount if bills are paid on or before the 17th of the month. If the discount of 10 % Is taken it leaves our flat rate the same as it formerly was. We believe that the new rate will work much better for all concerned than the o*d rate. If any further information is desired we would be glad to answer any questions our customers desire to ask. Yours for better service. Falls City Light 9:80 Devotional.

As its best reply to the charges that the administration has been dilatory and inefficient in its war work, and that because of that delay and incompetency our troops are not properly equipped and many of our soldiers have perished iu disease-breeding camps, the Journal produces part of the record of our shortcomings in the Spanish-American war.
