Continuation m past because it was not there when they wanted it. Greeneastle is a town that should have double the number of gas consumers that it has

at the present.

“To aid in increasing the consumption of gas in the city of Greeneastle, the Greeneastle Gas Company has filed with the Commission a new rate which we expect to have approved within a very short while. This new rate, which is Optional, will not increase any customers’ bills, but will tend to materially decrease some of the bil's. As an example, in most of the towns in which we operate, the average domestic consumer uses approximately 2,500 cu. ft. per month. Under the $1.85 rate which Greencastte has had in effect in the past, this gas would cost $4.63. Under the new rate, which includes $1 Service Charge, this amount of gas would cost $4, or a reduction of over 20 cents per 1,000 cubic feet. To all customers who take advantage of water heating and space heating, it would mean further reduction. As an example, 6,000 feet of gas under the old rate costs $11.10. Six thousand feet of gas under the new rate would cost $7.50. You will note that this rate is put in to encourage the use of

LONDON SINGERS ARE PRAISED BY TOUR MANAGER

F. C. Coppicus, one of the most famous concert managers in the United States who has personally sponsored the tours of such attractions as Caruso, Chaliapin, Jeritza, Rosa Ponselle, Marion Talley, and many other leading musical personalities, is authority for the statement that the English Singers of London, who will present a concert here on Friday evening, November 16th at 8 o’clock in Meharry Hall, give the most fascinating program he has ever heard. “I have attended over 1,000 concerts in the last ten years,” states

Mr. Coppicus, “and of all these concerts, the performance of The English Singers at Town Hall last year stands out as the most fascinatingly varied and interesting. This is the judgement also of tho New York critics and of practically everyone who has ever heard tho English Singers. To account for their success, ono must speak first of their perfection of ensemble which permits them to give a demonstration of the finest polyphonic singing heard in recent years. Secondly their program material taken from the golden age of Elizaltethan literature is a veritable treasure chest of song. Third, every number being sung in English with the noble diction of British borr, the entire audience can participate in a perfect understanding of the poetry as well as the music.

of Indiana. Having worked for this company since its formation, I know that it is their policy to see that the customers of their subsidiary companies have a service that is not excelled by the services rendered to the customers of New York or Chicago, and that they do not leave a stone unturned until they are satisfied that the local company is rendering this type of service to their customers. The citizens of Greeneastle may rest assured that in the future, they will have this type of service from their ccmpany—that all that will be expected of them is to render co-opera-tion to the local manager in advising him of local trouble and tell their neighbors of improvement in gas service so that we may regain that which is of untold value, namely the confidence of your community. The company must ask you however, to bear in mind that no matter how splendid its general service may be there necessarily will be times when gas appliances in some homes will get out of adjustment for one reason or another and some times condensation or rust in the interior of the pipes may partially close off the open ing in the service or house pipes, thereby causing poor service in some particular house when the gas service in general and in neighbor’s houses may he 100 pet cent good. “We are therefore asking that at any time that, any one’s gas service and supply may he poor or inadequate that you be good enough to call the Gas Office, to the end that the trouble may be promptly remedied. “While this company in the last couple of months has spent upward^ of $20,000 to improve service in Greeneastle, it will not stop. This has been their policy in all the towns in which they operate. All that the company wants is to he considered part of your community. We desire to grow with you and to mutually benefit from the growth of Greencastle. In other words, we are part you. You might say we are the hewers of wood, we are your servants, we desire to merit your praise as the suppliers of fuel for all of your fuel requirements where you want a quick hot fire for cooking, heating of water, space heating or any other of the thousand uses to which gas may be put, for we urge the citizens of Greeneastle to keep in mind at all times that ‘if it is done with heat, you can do it better with

gas.’ ”

John H. Harrison, editor of the Commercial-News, Danville, 111., has given his city a tract of land, totaling more than 230 acres and including 64 acres now in the Danville Country Club, “to be forever used as a public recreation ground and to be known as Harrison park.” Mr. Harrison is a trustee of DePauw University. The tract is one of the most scenic to be found anywhere, and is said to have unlimitel possibilities in development. When it has been developed it will be the most beautiful tract in several states, landscape artists claim. The land is mostly rolling, in some places having deep ravines. The river winds itself around in a complete "S,” distributing its attractiveness to all parts of the park. Bridges will be built across it, making any point in it readily accessible. Mr. Harrison made formal tender of the land today, and it is plannee to have it o|>en to public inspection next Sunday.

THE VONCASTLE William Haines Featured In “Excess Baggage” William Haines, who appears tomorrow and Friday in “Excess Baggage” at the Voncastle, is a new William Haines and not the wise-crack-ing youngster whose high spirits were always getting him into difliculties. He shows a deep-rooted emotional ability in his new picture and makes the audience feel that his problems are their problems too. He plays the part of Eddie Kane, a small time actor with Josephine Dunn as Elsa McCoy, his leading lady. The story opens hack-stage in cheap vaudeville theatre in Los Angeles where Eddie Kune proposes to Elsa McCoy, assuring her that with her help they will soon be on the “big time.’’ She accepts him and the picture jumps four years to where they are again in Los Angeles apparently no nearer success than before. Kane perfects a new vaudeville trick, a slide for life backwards down a rope from the balcony to the stage with a backward somersault halfway dow’n. The stunt secures him “big time” hookings hut Elsa feels that she is merely “Excess Baggage” in

the act.

At this stage, she is offered an opportunity at big money .o play leading roles in motion pictures and accepts. Without her, Kane can no longer do his dangerous act and himself becomes the "Excess Baggage” of the combine. A year later they meet again in New York where their

problem works its way to a thrilling

and novel solution.

THE GRANADA “[’ay As You Enter” Coming Mith Two Comedy Stars The Gram.da is closed today but on Thursday “Pay As You Enter” a Warner Brothers farce comedy, is recommended to all those who like to laugh and to those who doubt whether they can be made to laugh. Never has Clyde Cook been so timidly funny as in the role of the street car motorman dominated by “Terrible Bill” McGovern, conductor on the same ear, and a rival for the love of “Quick Lunch Mary,” waitress in a stationary “wagon” near the car

burns.

Ixiuise Fazenda, always a favorite, is not only funny but charming aa presiding genius of the eating placo and William Demarest portrays with swaggering zest his part of the carman and prizefighter. Louise has a rival in the person of the languorous Myrna Loy, who deserts Bill only when he loses his big fight and rails to get her the fur coat promised. Now arrives Louise's chance to wheedle him into matrimony by ftea hand-outs. She fails. Then comes Louise’s “accident,” for which she is awarded a thousand dollars. Tho money works wonders with Bill, and he takes her to the Car Men’s Ball, where he steals her money, tossing it to Myrna from a speeding taxi. It is caught trickily in the old trolly car by Clyde! Pandemonium breaks losol Don't miss this one!
