Worth of Your Dollar

The dollar is the unit of exchange in Indiana as In the nation. When the rates for electricity in Indiana cities were fixed by law the governing bodies determined, after careful investigation, how much electricity you were entitled to receive for a dollar. They figured the cost of producing electricity, the cost of delivering it to you, the amount of money invested in the plants necessary to serve you and the rate at which these plants depreciated. They arrived at definite figures for each of these items and then they added a reasonable profit for your neighbor, the utility, and said that the utility should give you a certain amount of electricity for every dollar you paid the utility. THAT ACTION FIXED BY LAW THE AMOUNT OF ELECTRICITY YOUR DOLLAR WAS WORTH. The utility took your dollar and, acting as your agent, bought the coal and the labor and other things necessary to supply you with electricity. At that time your dollar would buy enough coal and labor and other necessary things to supply you with the amount of electricity the law said you should get for a dollar. BUT THE STATE DID NOT FIX THE PRICES THE UTILITY SHOULD PAY FOR THINGS NECESSARY TO PRODUCE ELECTRICITY. These prices increased steadily and the utility was bound by necessity to purchase at any price. Now these prices have increased to such an extent that with your dollar the utility cannot buy enough to supply you with what the law says you 6hould receive for your dollar. YOUR DOLLAR IS NO LONGER WORTH THE AMOUNT OF ELECTRICITY THE LAW SAYS IT SHALL BUY,

S THE G000 OLD DAYS By K. C. HAMILTON (United Press Staff Correspondent.) XEW TORK, July 17. It is a strange thing that the average fight fan of today is one of the greatest howlers the world ever saw when mention is made of a heavyweight tangle. The general impression, following sundry raw exhibitions, is that a heavyweight nowadays ia slice of cheese. As a matter of fact, the record of Fred Fulton, the foremost contender for Jess Willard's championship, is a great deal better than the records of some of the most popular men who ever fought as heavyweights. The record of Jim Jeffries doesn't carry the awe-inspiring series of knockouts as does Fulton's. Robert Fitzsimmon's great record of 'J 1 - or Mi-

-Scotten Detroit, fights he won by a knockout doesn't compare very well with Fulton's, and John Li. Sullivan's record is not to be considered in the same breath with Fulton's. Fulton's record shows he has engaged in thirty-five bouts. Of these he has won twenty-flve by a knockout. Once he was flattened and he has lost two bouts on fouls. JefCries went to the squared circle for twenty-one encounters, and on seven occasions he was returned winner by a knockout. Sullivan 'appeared in thirty-six battles. Just one more than Fulton, but he was able to win only eight of them by knockouts. Fitzslmmons fought forty times, and won only twenty-three of them with a finishing punch. It may be argued that the men these champions were meeting were far better than the average heavyweight of today. However, it will be freely admitted that none of then was any better than Sam Langford, who Fulton has credit of a knockout over. And Fulton has barred none of them. He is ready to meet them all. In view of these records it is a rather queer turn of affairs that makes fans refer to the good oil days of Fitzslmmons, Sullivan and Jeffries when the talk turns to heavyweights. TWO GET RELEASES '"Heinie" Morrow and "Chuck" Rhode, two of the most popular players on the Hammond ball club have been "canned." With the season practically half over the two players who have helped Hammond keep its pace have been discharged in favor of two Chicago men. "Dead weight" is given as the excuse, said one fan today. Rhode played well in the outfield and numbered among the leaders in the batting averages. Morrow was fast coming into his own in the pitching box. It is said the fans look upon the move with disfavor. PEERLESS WINS 11 STRAIGHT The Peerless A. C. made it their eleventh consecutive victory Sunday when they defeated the Dollas & Garber A. C. at Indiana Harbor by the score of 7 to 6. in a ten-inning struggle. The fielding and batting of this game was little short of wonderful. Two double plays were credited to the Peerless men. The latter of these ended the. game. This victory makes the Peerless A. C. the undisputed champions of the Twin City in the 16 year old class. They have already defeated all comers of the two cities and will begin the invasion of Hammond next Sunday when they meet the Federals at East Chicago. The Peerless A. C. would like to hear from any other 16 year old team in Lake county. Will travel. For games write- to John Buckley. 4335 Olcott avenue. East Chicago, Ind.

PICK KILBANEl'O SHADE LEONARD PHILADELPHIA, July 17. When Benny Leonard, lightweight champion of the world, and Johnny Kilbane, who holds the title of the featherweights, clash here a week from Wednesday night, there will be considerable coin

wagered on their doings. There are many who believe the lighter of the two can outpoint and oubox the man who defeated Freddie Welsh. Even money is offered by' the Kllb&ne admirers. Interest ii the battle is running high and Indications are that the biggest house that has been seen in this city will attend tho stop. It looks as though each of the boys would pull down $10,000 for his end. Leonard is guaranteed that' much, Kilbane $6,000, but the sale of seats will be 'so large that his bit will be increased by $4,000.
