We understand that the city has a great deal of electric current going to waste in the day time. Why not make a speclal day rate to housekeepers to encourage the use of electricity in cooking and other household work. This would put money into the city's pockets and reduce the drudgery in the homes. INSlIltNCl09 \' S.\INS. Appit'roximitely $'i.00h.lt) are paid in life itislranc' e 112eliiuis in this state yearly.

Let the State strive to educate its cit izens instead of striving to build up institutions." After citing the laws of New York state by which cash scholarships are awarded to students to be used at any accredited college in th state, Dr. Douglas makes the suggestions as fol lows: "I. Let the legislature appoint a strong central committee headed by the State Superintendent of E.ducation, give this committee the power to fix the standard a college must maintain in order to be graded as an approved college and the right to investigate the work of all colleges applying for state recognition. Should any colleges re fuse to give the information desired, its name would simply be stricken from the list. "This committee would exercise no control over the college. It would simply lhave the right to investigate, report and determine what recognition it shall receive from the state. "2. a. Then have the 'legislature abolish all scholarships now in exist ence ecept those given for military training and establish say, about 2,000 new lones worth approximately $75 apiece; requnire all state colleges to charge tuition fee of $10, and $35 for room rent, janitor hire, light, heat, wa ter, and so on; allow the recipients of these scholarships to attend any col lege in the State that meets the re (uirements of this central board of ed ucation and c'hoose his own course c st'udly, provided it is graded as full umler-graduate college work. "'h. Or, let the legislature abolish ail tuition fees in state inistitttions. as has h n recoiiimnded by the State board of E'ducation, and allow the eittiel coll'ege $75 for every :t1udeit0 ilt the state they educte. The chuirch people of this state who are 1iniderniikiing to r11n colleges pay at les a two-thirds of the taxes. If you int4ude thie care of students, it costs .e state at least $2.50 for each stu dienit ('i1ieduated inl a state coll(e':e. The chuI11'rches limlyinlg the hills say to the State, 'We will educate these young iment and women ourselves and pay the txes necessary for state institutions if you will allow us $75 to editeate olur student.i it is new osting you $".-0 to eduente.' ".(. If neither of thles' plans coml mlends itself to the legislatuire, then re-jtiire stleits attend(ing state col leges to pay a small tuition fee of $10 a year and sutlicient. fees to keep UiP the collgr'e property, say about $3, approximately the amount, students at t:niing cnurch and independent col leges are paying. Should this plan he adtoied by thie legislature. a limited nuimber of schmlarships should be pr0 viled in state colleges to nmeet the titi tion and other fees of the really needy students." foutms Folk's Party.

From beginning to end it was both amusing and exciting. 1v cry character of the play was suitably represented and well rendered. There was no dull part in it. "Mrs. Tubs of Shanty Town" is the title of the play and represents the lhardships, yet cheerful and hopeful perseverance of a widow laundry wooman who is strug gling to rear a number of children. An old man, who finally fell heir to a good fortune, a census taker, a school teacher, and at widower who was hunting his fourth wife, made up the other chief characters. Miss '4ell Goodman, who represented Mrs. Tubs was just splendid all the way through. Miss Lillian Martin, an old visiting lady, who never says anything harm ful of any one, and Miss Ruth Rasor, "an old mlaid", who with her inherited fortune finally saved the family from being cast out on the streets, were very amusing. The children, Misses Sudie Lowe and Mlary Grillin and Mas ters .lack Wileutt and 1lugh Miller Leaman, had a large share in the make up of the entertainmentc. l3ur row iill, the census taker, Miss 10ssle llrown, the school teacher, and .Jake l asor, the three ti nis removed wil ower, were all importanat charac ters. Several others nlme in at the win1dityu anad helped to conmplete the scene. lkis i ra Ilkes, a visIt or, was the lost inportant of these. Frank Miller, the rna "ay boy, Albert Dial, .l ohnella Austin, and Alma ('olenman ma'le up tlhe other characters. These young people were greeted w1ith1 ana atteilive anmd app renati ve aliince and realized nearly $2.01101 from Iheir entertaiiimenit for the school. h'le Cross 11111 school closed Thur iiis day for the Chriistinas holidays, after an interesting prograni of appropri ate ('hrislt mas exercises in the morn ing. Songs. Reeltations. reading, etc., were included inl the program, and last hut ly no means le'ast was a beautiful (hristinas free given to the children. Every leart was made glad. The whole aud0itorium seemed filled with nshtinesliia and joy as San Ia ('ltus lian~d ed1 out the three or four hundred pres ents, one by one, to the anxiously walling children. After these exercis es ar. Culbertson read a letter from the 'nited Daughters of the Confed eracy. presenting a tahle to the school as a Christmas gift, for use in the au ditorium. Following the usual part ilg greet ings, the school adjourned until January 3rd. IS YOUR COMB FULL OFILFALLEN HAIR? What to Do 11lien Har ('omes Out.

It is believed that more stringent laws for the punishment of violators of the prohibition laws will be made at this session. Representative Liles will introduce a measure doing away with the option of fines and requiring judges to give straight chain gang sentences to all persons convicted of violating the prohibition laws. It will be necessary for the General Assem bly to provide the governor with a fund for enforcing the law, for the ap propriations heretofore made by the counties for this purpose came out of the dispensary profits and will un doubtedly be discontinued. Rumors that the lawmakers will de vote a big part of their time to playing politics are discounted here and little credence is given to such reports. The general assembly has very little rea son for playing politics-that is, any more poiltics that is always visible in all lawmaking bodies. It is beloved that the spirit of harmony and a de sire of constructive legislation for the good of the State, which was evident throughout tie last session, will again prevail. * M)Ul:4*4tN NEW*S. * "0 e* * 4 Madden, .lan. i.--Started gaily on a new year again, are we?
