The Gas Rate Decision The fixing of the valuation of the property of : the Richmond Light, Heat and Power company for rate making purposes at $650,00, instead q in excess of $850,000, as asked for by the com- ' pany, as well as a decrease in the rate which the small consumer must pay for natural gas, is a victory for the city of Richmond. The commission says the purpose of decreasing the rate for small domestic consumers and increasing it for industrial users, is to help conserve; the natural product, which is piped into Richmond from the West Virginia fields. The order also directs the company to refinance so that the common stock, which has no equity, is wiped out, and the total amount of its securities does not exceed $650,000. The valua- ' tii:i as fixed by the commission is in excess of the $535,000 for which the city contended, but a valuation of $650,000 for rate making purposes 'is considerably less than the valuation of $850,000, for which the company asked. On this point the city cannot complain. Indianapolis dispatches said the Richmond case would establish a precedent in the fixing of gas rates in Indiana, as most of the problems at issue in other cities of eastern Indiana that buy the natural product from - companies which in turn buy the West Virginia product, are settled in the Richmond decision. Judged as a whole, then, the consumers of natural gas in Richmond have no reason to feel ; that their interests were not safeguarded by the city officials and that justice was not a factor in ;'the decision of the public service commission. ; It will be remembered that a hard fight was

lif Good Evening By Roy K. Moulton It will be rather dangerous to con vere with the planets, for some of! them may be further advanced than ',ve are. ' " .' We met an old-fashioned person yesterday. - He was asking what became of the league of nations. Nobody knows. A coal famine has been announced but they don't tell us whether it is a new one or the one we have been having for several years. Confessions of a cynic. I am a very wise sort of guy in j many ways, but I can't remember that I I ever fooled anybody very much. j . I am fond of children, dogs and j , horses, but I hate goldfish, goats and flivvers. I believe the champ pest of the i universe is the one who has been ! through bankruptcy three times, yet comes in and puts his feet on uiy desk and tells me how to run my business. I don't believe that any man who washes dishes at home is ever going to be 'very popular with the Amalga j mated Association of Husbands, i I don't believe that all the wise persons live in the great cities, but : I know that some of them do, because I have had to pay numerous amounts in borrowed money to find out. A western man committed murder and the sheriff was busy, but forgot lo hang him. Now he has been sentenced to lif' imprisonment. If he couid get out of serving his Fentence, he would probably be offered a simply marvelous vaudeville i contract. j Human nature is a peculiar thin?. In speaking of the umpire say it j with pop bottles. I Rupsian piincpss in New York says she like? r.pplo pic, but you don't haa-to he a princess to do that. A Newark collar button manufacturer cannot be found. Maybe he has rolled under a bureau or something.

made on the commission at the last session of the general assembly by certain interests that wanted it abolished on the theory that it was not protecting the rights of the consumers of the products of utility companies. This argument had its basis in the fact that the commission wa3 forced during the war in. a period of rapidly advancing prices to increase rates of many utilities. The commission had no control over this condition. Now, when prices are beginning to come down, when we are rapidly approaching the state of normalcy, the commission, in the Richmond decision, proves that it is just as willing to reduce rates as it was to, increase them. The judgment of the commission relative to the re-financing of the company also squares with the dictates of justice. If the common stock has no equity now, there is no reason why it should be accepted as a factor for rate making purposes.- The company should re-organize its finances, so that its securities will be within the $650,$0 limit.

Seeing the American Viewpoint 1 The cogent reasoning of Secretary Hughes on the Yap problem is receiving the indorsement of European nations. One by one they are accepting the American policy of internationalization of the island of Yap. France and Italy have expressed their support of a plan which would forestall a monopoly over this important point in the cable communication of the world. Although England has not expressed herself, American diplomats feel that the support which Australia and Canada have given to the American plan will induce her to vexert pressure on Japan to relinquish her claims. Japan takes an exceedingly national view of the situation, which is fully in accord with her determined, policy of controlling everything in the Pacific. But the international aspects of the case, as well as the contention of the United States that it has an equity in the island, must ultimately prevail against the narrow nationalism of the Japanese. America is not asking for a monopolistic control of the Island, but affirms that all nations should have free access and use of Yap for cable purposes.

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Oan," "Take It," "Up" LIFE BEGINS PERPETUALLY In the closing chapter of his most extraordinary "Outline of History" H. G. Wells penned the very illuminating sentence I have used as the title of this Talk. This three-word statement has run through my mind like a new inspiration, and so I give It to you. Unless we get the full significance of it, we fail to understand the main purpose back of all life and effort. Unless we are willing to face the realities packed into every hour, and to play the chords of our better natures to the exclusion of those which bring only dischord and confusion into our daily lives, we are not worthy to handle the task of life itself. Our souls must be hardened in quite the same manner as our bodies, if we would serve our time creditably. Prolonged rest and inactivity produces death. There is no room for anything or anyone not useful. Instudying the history of the earth, I have noticed that the biggest animals seem to be the ones first to disappear. As though they took up too much room and served too little! The world never stops for a second in its orbit. Nor do events hesitate. Life begins perpetually! One of the greatest teachers of the world Jesus said: "Let the dead past bury its dead." Nothing finer ever came from a pair of human lips. II it discourages you to think about "beginning all over again," you at least can decide to begin anew. There can be no Yesterday Today. Life for you may start right now. Who is there able to take from you the chance? Would you dare to compete with anyone less than yourself?

Thp usual inquiry followed, and then the colonel, having heard the evidence said. "Who called the piper a I did, sir," said a young subaltern, saluting. ''But who called the blighter a piper?" Who's Who in the Day's News E. I. LEWIS. E. I. Lewis, whom President Harding has just appointed a member of the interstate commerce commission, is regarded su one of the best informed men on public utilities in the United States. Prior to his experience on the public service commission on Indiana., of which he was chairman, Lewis was a writer of national note on subjects that had to do with public utilities and civic affairs. His investigations as a member staff of the Indianapolis News attracted wide attention to his work E. I. Lewis. and were largely reEpon?ible for his appointment on the public service commission of Indiana, which was the first public office he ever held. Lewis has conducted the Indiana public f-ervice commission on a high plane and has established a reputation for fairness both widi public utilities ami the public.

The Home Garden Prune out "the old wood of currants and enough new wood so that the plants will not be crowded. Currants bear fruit on wood two or three years old. Good strawberry and raspberry patches make a fine addition to a home ground. Put them in now. If Progressive or Duluth Everbearing strawberries are used you can pick fruit this fall. It's time to plant corn as soon as the ground is in condition. After this has been harvested, follow with such crops as turnips, spinach and kale. For early use the yellow sweet corns are the best. Of these the Golden Bantam is a well-known variety. Early Minnesota has long been a favorite. White Mexican is a valuable early corn. Others, under different names, are also excellent. For midseason and late use, Crosby, Potter's. Excelsior. Country Gentleman, Black Mexican and Stowell's Evergreen are suitable. Here are approximately the number of new seeds, or seeds testing around 90 per cent germination, that are needed to plant a foot or row: Bush snap beans and bush lima beans, 3-6 seeds per foot; pole beans, 4-6 per hill; beets, 12-15 per foot: carrots, 25-30 per foot; Swiss chard. 6-8 per foot; sweet corn. 2-3 per foot in drills or 4-5 to a hill; cucumbers, muskmelons and watermelons, 10-15 per hill; kohl-rabi, 10-15 per foot; lettuce, 20-25 per foot; onions. 20-25; parsley, 25-30; parsnips. 20-25; peas, 10-12; radishes, 15-25; salsify. 12-15; spinach, 20-25; turnips, 20-25 per foot; squash and pumpkins, 4-8 per hill.

Mr. McKee has lived here for the past four years' and has been with the Rutenber Motor Works. "We had gas in the stomach something awful; were very bilious which caused dizzy spells, and a coated tongue all the time. Wre seemed never to get hungry, but ate from the force of habit. We were both nervous and restless at night, and our sleep failed to rest us. "We have been taking Dreco 'and this medicine has helped us both very much. It is a pleasure to sit down to a meal now, with a good, healthy appetite; knowing that there will be no gas to make our stomachs uncomfortable. We sleep sound every night and that coat has been cleaned off our tongues. We are glad to praise Dreco for what it has done for us." All good druggists now sell Dreco and it is being especially introduced in Richmond by Thistlethwaite's 7 Drug Stores. Advertisement.
