LIBERTY LIGHT GO., ASKS HIGHER RATES BEFORE COMMISSION

In view of the expectation that increased electric light and power rates will be granted the city of Richmond, the Liberty Llgnt and Power Company, which buys electricity from the city of Richmond and distributes it in a number of small towns nearby, filed a petition with the public service commission Monday for an increase in its rates to cover the expected lncreasevlt will have to pay the city.

The company asks the following

Rchedule for the towns of Liberty.

West College Corner and Boston: For lighting, 13 cents a kilowatt hour for

the first sixty kilowatts, and 10 cents for all more than sixty, with a mini

mum monthly charge of $1.25; for

power, 51.50 per II. D. connected, with

6 cents a kilowatt hour additional, and

for rural lighting 10 cents a kilowatt hour.

The company resells power to the

Brookville Electric Company, at Brook

vllle, and it also asks for an increase

in its rates to the Brookville company.

A hearing on the petition of the city of Richmond was held last week be

fore E. L. Lewis, chairman of the com

mission, and he intimated after the hearing that an Increase would be granted. A decision in the case will

be given in the next few days.

The Farm and the Farmer By William R. Sanborn

Farmers Are Warned to See

That Threshers Are Insured

The Workman's Compensation law of Indiana provides that all men op

erating threshing rigs shall carry enough insurance to protect their men against accidents. Farmers should ascertain in advance if the law has been complied with. In case there is no such insurance in force and an accident occurs, the farmer Is Jointly liable with the thresher for the damages. This applies to men filling silos, to building barns, etc., under contract with the farmer, who should, in all cases, see that the workmen are duly protected by insurance. The Tippecanoe county brotherhood has formulated a set of rules for threshers that are considered excellent, and which contain so much common sense that they have been adopted by the entire state association. These rules are for rig owners, managers of rings and for the farmers, the duties of each being defined to facilitate the work and to insure safety of men, prevent losses from fire, etc. These rules have been ' mailed over the state to heads of threshing outfits. All county agents, officers of farm associations and others interested are being supplied with the folder and copy of the law relating to the matter.

The farmers' co-operative elevator at Camden reports a shortage of coal for threshing operations, which threatens to delay the work. They also report the arrival of the first load of 1920 wheat on last Saturday, of a good grade, which was brought in by George Riner. George Kirst showed up with a load of fine wheat on Monday afternoon. The manager of the elevator says that the wheat is fine down their way. While often thin or light in straw, it seems to be of prime quality, he sayH, and is testing 60 to 62 pounds so far. He states that the crop promises to

be heavier than was thought probable. They paid 2.60 for No. 2 red on Mon-1 day.. Too Wet for Threshing. Thompson & Powell, of Hagerstown, said Monday night: "The heavy rain on Sunday set back the threshers for about three days. We are not looking for the rigs to run until Thursday, although one may get busy here and there on Wednesday afternoon. This will depend on the weather in the meantime. Threshers are not all supplied with coal yet, and we are out of coal, with plenty ordered and some expected to arrive at any time." Sunday Rain Was General. The rain on Sunday put threshers on the hummer in Union counly, and indeed over a wide portion of the Indiana map, for the showers were pretty general and heavy in places. Frank Demort, of the elevator at Liberty, sajs he fears that no wheat will be threshed in Union county until Wednesday afternoon, possibly not until Thursday morning, depending on the weather. At this time they are planning to pay 2.60 for No. 2 red wheat. No Wheat at Lynn. "It is entirely too wet to thresh up this way," was the word from the

Lynn mill and elevator on Monday night. "We hardly expect threshers to get going until Wednesday. Call us next week at this time and wo hope to be as busy as nailers. Just now flour is very quiet and our wholesale price is $ 13.60 per barrel." One elevator man was asked Tuesday if he had any cars ready for loading and said: "Well no, nor can we ask for cars until we have the grain to load, and if we should we wouldn't get them. We must also load and be ready to move the cars within a short specified time." Tried Out Their New Rig. A new threshing rig was tried out

at the Gib Morgan place, southeast of Centervillc, last. Saturday evening. The grain was in good condition and 14 bushels went through on the test. It was figured that the Morgan crop would have been threshed on Monday but a soaking rain on Sunday afternoon prevented. Wade Kennedy, of Economy, reports it still too wet to thresh, and that they had a heavy rainfall there on Sunday.

Sugar Market Appears To Have Become Heavy It begins to look as If the sugar market has become top heavy. For instance, England is now offering West Indian sugar at 16 cents for

prompt shipment from London ana Cubans are selling at $18.06 for centrifugars. Suffering Europe is also able to snare us some sugar, aside

from the British Isles, for a cargo of 5,000 tons of cut sugar has Just arrived at New York from Hamburg, Ger

many.

The most pertinent fact to consumers, however, is that eastern refiners are quoting fine granulated at $22 to $22.50 per hundred pounds at this time, right at the beginning of the greatest demand. Cuban and Brazilian granulated, while not so white and sightly as our American product, is sweeter and goes farther in canning

operations. Perhaps tney ao not know Just what they are talking about but the claim is made that they are getting more of the sweetness out of sugar at our refineries in order to increase the supply of syrups.

Prohibitionists Discuss Attitude of W. J. Bryan (By Associated Press) LINCOLN, Neb., July 20. Early arrivals among the delegates to the prohibition party's national convention today were discussing chiefly the attitude of William J. Bryan should the convention offer him the leadership of

the Drohibition ticket next fall. Fre

quent mention of Rev. William A. ("Billy") Sunday as his running mate brought the statement from Mr. Sunday that ho would be willing to accept tho nomination if chosen. "Mr. Bryan's recent statement in The Commoner that a man must accept such an honor if it is offered," said W. G. Calderwood, vice chairman of the national committee, "is looked upon by us as tantamount to a declar

ation that he will accept. We are pre

paring to go to the mat in this cam

palgn and we are going to nominate a ticket that will draw hundreds of

thousands of votes."

Allied Premiers Recognize Japan's Territorial Rights (By Aaaoclated Press) HONOLULU, July 20. The council of allied premiers at Spa has recognized Japan's right to occupy Nikolaievsk and the northern portion of the island of Sagbaliea and to establish military governments in those

districts to protect the lives and property of Japanese subjects from the

Bolshevikl, according to information from Viscount Chinda to the Japanese government and conveyed here from Tokia in special cable dispatches to

Nippu JIJ1, Japanese language newspaper.

Saghalien, island of Nikolaevsk, and separated from the mainland by the Amur gulf and the gulf of Tartary, has been the scene of Bolshevik activities. The southern part of the island was ceded to Japan by Russia in accordance with the treaty of Portsmouth.

Cubans Refuse Rice; Serious Credit Situation (By Associated Press) HAVANA. July 20. Several of Havana's leading bankers and a committee representing the California rice association conferred today on the

serious credit situation brought about by the alleged failure of certain Cuban importers to accept rice shipments valued at more than $20,000,000, now held up in the harbor here which it is claimed were shipped under contracts. No statement was given out by the conferees, but the bankers are reported to have demanded that merchants protect their paper and to have intimated that the island's credit might be seriously involved as American exporters are becoming dubious of the good faith of certain Cuban importers. A member of the rice association declared that for the past five years American firms have been shipping to Cuba under the same terms and con

ditions which now exist but have

never been faced by such a situation,

"s I . Note the cushion design, the extra rubber.

Many truck tire problems in many lines of business are answered by Firestone Cushion Tires. They haye added cushioning power needed for proper protection to your load and truck. They have the wearing strength needed for maximum mileage. 12 to 27 More Rubber Firestone Cushion Tires have a greater volume of material. That is one reason why they ride easier. It is obvious, too, that this means longer wear. The extra wide tread provides approximately 20 more area of road contact giving firmer traction under all conditions. 300 More Efficient in Heat Radiation Overheating is a common danger to truck tire equipment. But Firestone engineers have evolved this special Cushion shape that lessens the strain through a different flexing of the rubber and gives a greater surface for heat radiation. y Any Truck Immediately Equipped Firestone Cushion Tires are built to fit any S. A. E. base. No wheel changes necessary. The nearest Firestone truck tire dealer can apply them to your trucks and trailers without delay or added expense. If you want resiliency plus extra-long wear, and if you want the practical economy of most miles per dollar, put on Firestone Cushion Tires. Made in all sizes.
