where the husband and father had
been on a bed of suffering for weeks
and the story of the struggle of the
mother and children to sustain life
was easily read in the meagre fur

were little children ill and wasting
away from lack of nourishing food
and some times it was the mother
who was fighting the battle of life
alone, with a hungry brood to take
care of. The baskets of food and

pected that this committee will com-
municate with either the Chamber of

view to joining in the effort to open
a new gas field. The fuel develop-:
ment company was formed with the
idea that whatever gas was found!

alone, but it is probable that the co-
operation of the Henrietta interests
could be accepted.
The situation at Henrietta arose
from the fact that the gas company
supplying that community found it-
self unable to longer deliver gas with
natural pressure and informed the
consumers that it would be necessary
to install a compressor, requiring an
advance in rates from 20 cents to
40 cents. A post card vote on tliis|
proposition was held. 150 out of 200
voters expressing themselves in favor1
of a 40 cent rate. The matter wa
