license plates this year. The new policy for handling the license distribution has become enpoiiticai, so the Association iwithdrawing from this field of er vice to the public.. Democrats, newt} •lected to office, are appointing mei ill over the state, to distribute thes< icenses. This is to be regretted. The Auto, nubile Association, through its cffi .es over the state, issued the licensee fficiently and cheaply. It saved mon hah half, a million dollars extra foi .he mail fund. which otherwise would have been spent in printing postage and clerical help, had thf is suing of the plates from the stall capitol been continued. Now comes the statement from the Association: That we would have t< compel- with every political jot hunter, and have the endorsement c he county, district and state politi cal organization. This is. an impos sible-situation, for us as a state, wide civic, organization, and 'to comply with- it distorts our position as art at; tomobile owners’ orgahii.aHbn.

“We were not in existence for the rurpose of issuing license plates, exept that we would render this ser- ; .ice to members whereever possible.” Now comes the announcement from ndianapolis that the license plates ci IL, not go on sale Dec. 15, as re-j [ufred by law. Delay, confusion, and ometimes graft, follow such a sweep- i ng-out of a non-political organiza-1 ion by a political party. P<'litical pa-’ ronage never did recognize efficien-1 :y or ability.

so he didn't have the slmek of seeing her first.' { Mrs. Damon, as she lay in bed, recovering from an attack of flu, had the news broken to her gently by ! Roger, who came in and closed the 5 door after him. J “Motherv when I went down to the . station to mail ■ that letter, on the > train for Dad, I saw a woman sitting t there crying, and I found out she’d come to work for some family, and ’ they hadn’t met her. She’d lost the

address and could not remember their ‘ name — isn’t that : dumb? So I 1 brought her home i to have something to eat —she hadn’t ‘ had any breakfast. • and was afraid to f go to a hotel.” ** “But. darling, did you tell her I was sick, and that' ouj man! had to I go home for a fu- ' neral?" |. “Yes, I explained i that we were in a pickle, too. and I were 'trying to decide whether Dad j

fl

and I should go to a hotel for our * dinner.” j "Well, -you are going'. It's foolish i of you to stay home because the doe- ' tor won’t let me get up yet. The tur- * key will keep, and if .my fever doesn't 'return today, I can get up tomorrow; > i Mary will be-back next day. and we J can have our Christmas dinner then.” ! “Well, we’ll see—but now I’m go- 1 Ing to take her into the kitchen—she’s Mrs. Schwartz -German, I guess ami. get out the eggs and things for her. I told her I'd make, her some toast, hut that I wasn’t very good on coffee. Dad could make it tine, but I was . afraid 1T wouldn't be enthusiastic.’’ "Hardly “ exclaimed Mrs. Damon, remembering her husband's complex ( against doing anything not on the program. “Weft, do the best .vou can, dear—but I. hate to think of the way that kitehen must look after two days of male housekeeping.”She went back to her reading, and I .is the hbuse was quiet, finally fell'asleep, making up for the hours 1 lost worrying in~H>e night about what her “boys" would do for holiday fes- ; tivity in this bleak situation. ! Two hours later she was roused I by. a gentle tap at her door, ami in reftpoflse to-her .“Come!” Roger eu- , tered. carrying dainty tray, with a > cup of steaming-'chocolate, -ami some ! attractive little cukes. "She made it—the chocolate —and these ate some -kitchens, or whatever you call 'em —she had in her bag, like they make in the old country, And she’s got all the' dishes washed. 1 ' helped pur "'em away—and now, what I d'ye s’pose?” % ■ “She has unfolded her wings and flown back to heaven'” guessed Mrs. Daipon, sippirfg the most -delicious —cocoa she bad ever tasted. ‘.'No! She’s got the turkey in the I oven, and is getting the dinner? I’m 1 going to the plume now to see if I i can locate the folks that sent for her. 1 She remembered the mnne-Mtirtin She told me half an hour ago, bjat I didn’t want to hurry too much, because 1 wanted her to get the dinner , cooked z “Oh, yon scamp!” laughed his mother. “Go right to the phone and call

up all the Martins. ( There, are so many 1 it may take until j the turkey; 1 is done, | anyway.” . j “Yes, it’s pretty | hear ready now?” I Whether Roger ' artfully timed his I search for lost em- ' plovers ors not.,.they ' were located just as dinner wa s I ready, and were so jub: efnl. that they told Mrs. S hwartz to serve the dinner and eat he r ow n ; the y | would send for her -

in an hour to cook their own evening I meal. It seemed they had expected I her at another station, and had wor- • Tied all morning over what had hap* petivd to the poor woman, as well as what would happen to their own poor dinner. When the angel-cook left as four o’clock, she—would take no pay for her work, saying: “I hat a gut Chrismus, and dis liddle boy vas my Kris Kringle.” (©, U3S.

Seventy-two black walnut trees recently consisted a $1,500 cash crop for a farmer in Barton County, Mo., according to the Forest Service, U. S. Department of Agriculture. The trees were second-growtn, 12 to 14 inches in diameter, and averaged two 16-fout logs with an average of 130 board feet. A St. Louis firm paid an equivalent of $l6O per thousand board feet for the logs, ~

i is 1 How Electric Rates I Have Been Reduced in Indiana I I I I I Si BSIDIARIES of the Midland United Company have I carried oh a continual program of voluntary rate reduetion g in IndiWna during the last six vears. Rate revisions made during the period from 1923 to 1929 benefited residential 0 and eomrnercial light and power e-ustomers of subsidiaries | to the extent of §5,150,000 in the year 1929 alone. In other words, had the average rate charged for electrical ■ I energy b) these companies for the year 1923 been applied to energy sold to residential and commercial light and power I customers during the year 1*929, they would have paid < ‘ §5,150,000 more for the service received thau they actu*1 allv did pay. This saving represents a 21 per cent reduction in the cost to ‘ • the public oi these services during the six year interval. « Similar rate reductions also have been made by subsidiaries of the Midland I nited Company in the rates for gas service. ! Bv revisions in their rate schedules, these companies have , I made it possible for customers to enjoy the added convenience and comfort of many electrical appliances for home ! I Use at a small additional cost, or at no greater cost for electricity than was paid a number of vears ago when electricity . was used only for lighting. It is the policy off Subsidiaries of the Midland I nited Company to reduce rates as rapidly as the requirements of I good service will permit. The above figures bear out this statement. When reductions in rates do not come as rapidly as incomplete knowledge of the facts indicates they might, it should be remembered that the cost of producing electricity at the generating station, a figure frequently cited, is but a small part of the total cost. Electric service is similar in some respects to water service. , Accumulation of water in the reservoir costs little. Providing and maintaining the mains and carrying it into the home, however, costs considerably more. Many necessary expenses are likewise incurred between the generation of electrical ; energy at the power plant and its use by the customer. In conInection with their policy of improving service and reducing rates, subsidiaries of the Midland United Company are work- ’ < ing diligently to reduce the cost of each of these factors. Public utility companies are the only enterprises in the world that manufacture and deliver to the customers premises the finished product readv for use in an instant upon demand anv time of the day or night, 365 days in the year. Compare the cost of the service with its usefulness and convenience, and its value as contrasted with the relative value of any- ~ thing cist* vou can buy becomes apparent. 1 This is the fifth of a series of advertisements discussing the economics of the public utility business and reviewing how the public is benefited by holding comjxm? control. j Midland United Company PRINCIPAL OPERATING SUBSIDIARIES: , Northern Indiana Public Service Company . . .
