The State Editorial Association has honored itself. as a body of self-re» sheeting newspapermen, by a formal repudiation of the practice of legis lators giving the state's money to re— porters as gratuities. The members of the association know that it's a fraud and a humbug, and there is noth- ing to relieve it of the character of a vulgar steal. wherein dishonest men make ”good fellows" of themselves at the cheap price of their worthless hon- or, but at a cash money expense to the taxpayers. looking toward an equitable adjust ment and fairness in rates for sprink‘ cling service, the city water department has passed the following rule: Hose. sill cock. post hydrant or hose attached to faucet in house or cellar, for 60 feet or under, rateforseason........ ....... $300 For each additional front foot . .. .05 The rate of $3.00 is the same charge that has always existed, Ileichnnge being that the season rate will apply feet. The injustice of‘one fixed charge , for all properties. whether a small city lot. or an extensive stretch of a user tel-of an acre. has always been a cause of much complaint to the water board. The board of water commis- sioners took the position. that until the water department could furnish "the citizens. good water they would allow the rates to remain. though they were unfair. being partial to the large property owner. The above c in rates were passed at a meet- held April 26. and approved by the citi council at their regular meeting become familiar with the titles and. as they are printed on the back of all bills sent out.

It is difficult for some young house- wives to learn that in using a gas range to cook with it isn't necessary to turn the gas on to its full i-xteut in order to cook. if the cake burns. they soon learn to adjust the oven, but it. is on the top of the range that, they waste gas.
