I beg to hand you herewith several memoranda and letters relating to stieet railways and other local public utilities furnishing light, heat, and power, which I have been asked to bring to your attention by a committee representing public utility interests.. These papers indicate the existence cf genuine apprehension regarding the adequacy, under present conditions, pf the service and rates of local public utilities. The view is ex pressed that increased wages and the high cost of essential materials and supplies have affected them as they have affected everybody else, and that united effort will be necessary in order to meet alike the public requirements for service and the corporate financial needs upon which that service depends. . . As Secretary of the Treasury, I must take official notice of these matters . It is obvious that every part of our industrial and economic life should be maintained at itss maximum strength in order that each may contribute in the fullest measure to the vigorous prosecution of the wawr. Our local public utilities must not be permitted to become weakened. Trans portation of workers to and from our vital industries and the health and comfort of our citi zens in their homes are dependent upon them, and the necessary power to drive many of our war industries and many other industries es sential to the war is produced by them. It may be that here and there, becauses of the prominence given to less important interests imme diately at hand State and local authorities do not always apprecite the close connection be tween the soundness and efficiency of the local utilities and the national strength and vigor and do not resort with sufficient promptness to the call for remedial measures. In such cases I am confident that all such State and local authorities will respond promptly to the national needs when the matter is fairly and properly brought before them. Our public service utilities are closely connected with and are an essential part of our preparations for and successful prosecution of the war, and the unfavorable tendencies which the accompanying papers reveal may most effectively be checked, wherever they may be found to exist, and the needed relief obtained, only by prompt action on the part of the re spective local authorities. m . . . . I earnestly hope that you may feel justified in expressing the conviction that the vital part which the public utilities companies represent m the life and war-making energy of the nation ought to receive fair and just recognition by State and local authorities.. Cordially yours, The President, the White House. (Signed) W. G. McADOO. iS agiM JL The President's Letter The White House, Washington, T My Dear Mr. Secretary: 19 February, 1918. I have examined with care the memoranda and letters which you transmitted to me with your letter of the fifteenth. I fully share the views yoU express regarding the importance of the public service utilities as a part of our national equipment, especially in wartime. It is essential that these utilities should be maintain d at their maximum efficiency and that every thing reasonably possible should be done with that end in view. I hope that State and local authorities, where they have not already done so, will, when the facts are properly laid be fore them, respond promptly to the necessities of the situation. 1 shall be glad to have you communicate with the local authorities whenever the mrorma tion in your possession suggests that such a course is desirable and in the national interests. Cordially yours, HON. WILLIAM G. McADOO, (Signed) . WOODROW WILSqN. : Secretary of the Treasury.

Stories are frequently told of a horse rescuing a man from drowning, but very rarely is a man called upon to jump into the water to save the Ife of a drowning horse. However, m incident of this kind occurred dur ng the filming of Geraldine Farrars Artcrift production of "The Woman Gcd Forgot," which will be seen at the Grand today and tomorrow. During the action of the story a Spaniard dashes through the private garden of Montezuma's, daughter, and leans with his horse into the pool, where the royal AztOt maidens were 'wont to &r.vlm. The people on me : bank watched the animal go under i water, rise to the surface and go un ider again, three times. One of the i members of the- organization then i realized the horse was drowning. He dived into the pool, caught the bridle of the animal, swam with It to a i.nway at one side of the dooi. held hp horse's head on his knefi while i a sling was placed around its body, j and towed it to a place wnere it could 'be led ashore. Don't Let Catarrh Drag You into Consumption Avoid Its Dangerous Stage, j V lO C X w Catarrh than the annoyance caused by the stopped-up air passages, and the hawking and spitting and other distasteful features.

For all this week the, Royal an nounces a return to musical comedy, presenting Allen and Kenna's Aviation Girls. They come recommended as one of the highest class tabloid com panies seen here during the season. Their shows are above the average in staging and acting and they will undoubtedly appeal to a large class who prefer the light and airy musical comedy brand of entertainment to the heavier dramatic productions. "The Two Bosses" is the opening bill to be presented today and tomor row at the Royal and is a comedy farce with lots of music, a swing and a gaiety that will rascmate and some of the best comedy work of the year. Features are Mae Kenna, Ludlow Al len and Jack Wright, three well known musical comedy stars sure to please- Four big vaudeville specialty teams are carried with this company and three different Dins win De pre sented during the week. Mr. J. R. Watson has a field of corn four or five blades high that has weathered the frosts with nly an occasional hill hurt. The editor's Irish potatoes right near th corn field are nearly ready to bloom. Sampson Democrat. I K.
