HAT approximately $700. 000, 000 is required by

Ireeenily published report of Senator Willard M.
Calder's Com m it I ee on Keconst rncl ion and Production.
Alter a searching inquiry into the various conditions bear
ing upon Hie housing situation and the country's industrial In
duction, the Committee finds that the business of public util
ities has outgrown their plant facilities owing to 'he inability
of tho companies to finance improvements and additions nec
essary to take care of the increased service demands.
"Prior to the war," states the Comm'ttec, "it is estimated
that the normal annual requirements of electric railway, gas,
and electric light and power companies for eiUnsions, bctter-uM-nts,
and improvements was about $500,000,000, proportion
ed us folows: Electric railways, $250,000,000; gas com
panies, $125,000,000; electric light and power companies
?12.XOOO000.
Tho Committee has been Informed that for four years not
over 4 0 per cent of such betterments as been made, leaving
an accumulation or about $1,200,000,000. If this sum is ad
ded to $700,000,000 required alone for new residential build
ings held in abeyance, a total or approximately $2,000,000,000
Heoms necessary for the public utility program in the Immedl
ate future.
"The question or placing these businesses on a sound
financial basis in order that credit may flow to them is tho
same question which confronts Meant railroads end housing,
bud in the case of public utilities the case is more difficult be
cause there In no central body as now provided in the case of
steam, railroads which might adjust rates in prcpier relation
to operating costs and capital invent nicnt. The utilities like
wise sillier In their effort to secure new capital for necessary
extensions of service by tho ulmcst insurmountable difficulty
of having to compete for such capital with municipal, slate and
similar tax-exempt Securities. Vntil these problems are sol
ved the public should reco-nize this underlying reason for
much ol' the faulty service and for the failure to provide the
additional facilities urgently demanded In meet community
needs. Paid Advertisement.

Fire destroyed C. V. McNamer's

at the time the entire town was

hose in action quickly and by hard
work the fire was prevented trom
spreading. Burning brands were
carried all ovtr town by the high

and women, patrolled the town, and
extinguished every incipient blaze.

GRAIN GOOD IN GOOSEBERRY
An Extravagant Dresser.
The late czar of Russia had the rep
tatlon of being the most extravagant
of European monarchs as regards
dress, lhe bill of his civil tailor Is
said to have bordered on $10,000 a
I year, and that of the military tailor,
$15,000.
(By L. A. Hunt)
Profesor G. R-. Hyslop and the
County Agent have been certifying
seed grain in the southern part ol
the county the past few days. Last
season they traveled 130 miles in the
Gooseberry, Eightmile, and Liberty
districts certifying seed and found
only 40 acres of class B seed wheat
of the early Bart variety, all the oth
er fields showing a hearty percentage
of mixture. One field of Forty-fold
being graded by a grain dealer when
threshed as Forty-fold 34 per cent,
Club 22 per cent, and other varieg
ated mixtures 44 per cent.
This season 1,349 'acres of Fnrtv-
fold, Bluestem, and Turkey-red
wheat were certified. A field list of
these fields and with their certifi
cates will be mailed the grain farm
ers.
All the Forty-fold shipped in la&t
has given a good account of it
self, farmers are estimating the in
crease in yield over the old seed as
2 to 5 bushels per acre, and of course,
no. farmer will be docked for mix
tures on this wheat.
Turkey ted wil run tha For'r
fold a close race ihi year. We think
the heaviest yeild of Turkey per acre
will be the Gooseberry district thia
year. If we miss it, well, we'll
just blame the threshing, that's all.
