BANDITRY IN CHINA It is the scale and audacity of the| latest piece of Chinese banditry| avhich make it serious. Never before! po: Bldg.. | , | sumers, costly compressor stations and other equipment necessary to raise the pressure to carry the gas to its) destination and draw as much as le from wells. “Natural gas rates in a majority of communities are out of all pro- portion to costs of other necessities of life, being far lower, and they have nat been increased in the ratio in which the cost and distribution| of the fue has incraesed to the com- panies. It is an economic fact nat- ural gas companies cannot remain} in business unless they get an ade- quate return on their investment. It is also a fact that constant exte sions of natural gas lines are neces- sary as fields near the distributing point become exhausted. To pro- vide the service demanded by con- compressor stations are necessary. All these things cost money. The investing public from which this money must come will not provide the desired funds un- less they are assured the company can make a reasonable return on the money invested. “Service is of prime necessity to| every natural gas company. The| consumes demand it. The company | must give it or eventually go out of business. Natural gas service must given 24 hours a day and 365 « a year. The same equipment necessary to provide for the peak| loads of winter are in use during} the periods of low consumption in| summer. The consuming public} shoulu realize this fact. If natural gas consumers want service, they| should be willing to pay a reason-/ able price for it. The people of Shreve, Ohio, ‘ealized this fact and acted according'y. BUILDING PROSPERITY | The men who are going to finance | a new hotel in Casper are building | prosperity, not only for themselves but for their city. Too long we have needed a new hotel. More than anything save its newspapers, a city is known to the outside world by its hotels. We have given Casper n comparatively poor place in such a listing heretofore. ew hotels are good, for one thing, simply because they are new.

Liberals Elected | GREEN RIVER, Wyo, May 14— 'Wide-open town candidates were elected mayors of Green River and Evanston in TuesCay's municipal elections. Green River cast its heav- jest municipal vote, when 530 of its citizens went quietly to the polls and lelected Dr. J. W. Hawk mayor and ,J. EB. Irvine and Ed Singent coun- icilmen. The Citizens ticket head re- lceived 360 votes and the People's |184, about a two-to-one majority for the ecessful candidates. The un- successful ones were C. L. Young for mayor, and Ben Scriven and William Scott for councilmen, Over a thousand votes were cast at | Evanston, the contest climaxing as one of the bitterest ever, that town of bitter contests. Tom Painter, running on the Republican ticket, was successful over his rival, Waiter Crompton, who headed the | Before the election Mr. Painter and his advisers entered suit against the Citizens ticket for the neat sum of $85.00, alleging slander and Cefama- tion of character. Crompton’s plat- jform was for a closed town against gambling and continued law-viol: tion, and Painter’s was for a business administration. A great deal of interest was cen- tered in the outcome of the Gregn River election, but the election and campaign were conducted on a high plane, with few manifestations of animosity rising to the surface. Piano Bo ad Eis To Irrigate Big Tract ROCK SPRINGS, Wyo., May 16— J. W. Doyle, capitalist of Chicago, and Springfield. Ill, spent several days the first of the week in Rock Springs, in the interest of the Cot- ‘tonwaod Development compan: whose field of activity Is in the Uj per Green River Valley, 25 miles north of Big Piney.

When com- pleted the project no doubt will be the biggest asset to the upper country. rea |Naturalize First Woman WORLAND, Wyo., May 16.—Mrs. Ruth Kennedy {s the first woman to be naturalized in Washakié county. |She also had the novel experience of |being born in the United States and yet going through the procedure of| \naturalization.

Last fall Mr. Kennedy be came naturalized. but, Cue to the law! Passed recently, the naturalization of the husband did not naturallze the wife.

Women Give Up Jobs COKEVILLE, Wyo., May 16.—Al- though only one regularly nominated ticket was placed in the fiel@ at Coke- fie\d for Tuesday's election, four votes were cast for Mrs. Ethel Stoner, incumbent, for re-election. Fuller staged a splendid comeback, having been mayor of the wool center up to one year ago. He was the unant- mous choice of the convention which nominated him. Another convention, very poorly attended, nominated Mrs. Stoner to succeed herself to office, but Mrs. Stoner declined to run. Councilmen elected with Mayor Fuller werg Ben Smalley and Martin Nelson. The Re- publican erred in its last issue in stating that Axel Johnson was run- ning for council with Mr. Futler. eagles IMPORTS GROW. ‘WASHINGTON, May 16.—Imports into the United States during March amounted to $402,000,000, compared with $303,412,826 in February and $256,177,796 in March 1923. “ask for Horlick’s The ORIGINAL Malted Milk The new grounds are to be located) across the creek, near o!d No. 5 mine,! {on a flat between the creek and the |hill.

The bandits are not like our highwaymen. They are not merely u few desperate characters. They are unpaid soldiers, organized in bands, with a certain amount of guilitary discipline, bent on obtain- ing loot with which to recompense themselves for the _ profitless months which they spent in the mil- itary forces of a Chinese Provincial governor. The outrage is, therefore, primar- 4ly an indication of the lack of po- litical cohesion and order to which China has been reduced. Although the Peking government is recog- nized by the world powers, the ac- tual control of the country is in hands of others. They recog- nize no allegiance to a central gov- ernment. The hostility between the North and South is still strong, and jicle the finish of the optimistic Mr. President Li, who resides over the|Clarence Saunders of Memphis. central government in Peking, is| Clarence may be recalled as the virtually powerless.

It should succeed, and it will doubtless succeed. The only possible criticism that any one could offer is that the plans of the builders are hardly pretentious enough.

November (1922) Monthly Laber Review, Berens of Laker Seastctte, More for Your Money By measuring things against each other as our grandmothers did when they swapped eggs for calico, we get the clearest idea of values. Coal and wages make up more than half the manufactur- ing cost of cement. The chart above shows price fluctuations for portland cement, coal and wages during the past ten years. In each case 100 is used to represent 1913 figures, by theGovernment departments which compiled these statistics. Translated into “eggs and cal- ico” language this chart shows that a ton of coal would buy nearly twice as much cement in 1922 as in 1913. A day's wages also would buy more ce- ment in 1922 than in 1913. This means that even though coal and wages make up more than half its manufacturing cost, cement is now relatively lower in price thanreither coal or wages.
