CREAM!
Due to the fact that Mr. Howard's son will take up in-
dustrial work in Colorado and Mr. Howard being un-
able to conduct his poultry and cream business by him-
self. I have taken over the cream business as agent for
Swift & Co., of Enid, and will continue to handle the
cream at Howard's Poultry House. Honest test and
weight and highest prices, is my motto. Give me a trial.

Car of Potatoes
I have bought a car of Early Ohio Potatoes that
were raised in South Dakota, that 1 expect to arrive
in Hennessey any day now. These potatoes will be
especially good for seed, and are also a splendid eat-
ing potato. It will pay you to see me before buying
your winter supply of potatoes. 1 he price on these
potatoes will be right.

No allowance having been made In
operating expenses for depreciation or

The applicant filed exhibits show-
ing the operation in the Town of Hen-
nessey for the year emliug March -l,
191s, also operation during the subse-
quent period by transmission line*,
i. e., April to August. 191s. inclusive.
The statement shows the per cent of
operating for the year emliug March
31, 191s. to be H.">. 1S per cent. The
per cent of operation for the live
months ended August ill, 1917. s
shown to be 85.94 per cent, while the
corresponding period for 191s, during
the time of transmission line opera
tion, the percent of operation was re-
duced to 66..'is per cent. Unforseen
conditions brought on by the war, and
increased fuel cost, affecting the coat
of generating, distributing ami selling
of electricity, the cost per K. W. H.
increased from 95c in April and May,
1918, to $1.36 in August, 191**, .t
43.15 per cent.
j Representatives of the own of H n
nessey introduced testimony uncon-
tradicted that prior to the transmit
sion line installation the service fur-
nished the Town of Hennessey was
very poor. Since the operation by
transmission line the serpiee hasgreat-
j ly improved, and in consequence there-
of' it is contended that during the win-
ter months the gross earnings will in-
j crease materially over that for the
corresponding period of the year suf-
fieietly to paritallv take care of in-
creased operation.
A number of ordinances were also
introduced by representatives of the
the Town of Hennessey, together w ith
the acceptance by the applicant, pro-
viding for certain rates. As these rates
were based on operation which the
applicant considered compensatory at
tc time of acceptance will not now
produce a compensatory return in view
of the present obnormal operating
cost of both material and labor.
While the revenue for the five
months of transmission line operation
shows an increase over the correspond-
igg months of 1917 ot only *v: _'l,

erease in op rating expenses of s"~_\
this operation increasing the net

Claude Sherman Succumbs Following i
Operation—Formerly Resided
in Henne- ey
1 < 'la ude Sherman, former resideut ot
Hennessey, passed away September 17,
191*, at Fort Crant. Cai.al Zone .follow-
ing an operation for appendicitis. The
announcement of his deatu was re- j
ceived here by his uncle and aunt,
Mr. and Mrs. William Sherman, this1
•k. His old friends in this section j
will grieve with them.
Claude was a student in the Hen- i
nessey schools in 1907. and made his i
home with his uncle and aunt for |
twelve wars. He left Hennessey in
190s.
Claude G. Sirois, better known in
this section as Claude Sherman, suc-
cumbed to an operation for appendi-
citis, at Ft. Grant, Canal Zone.
Private Claude Sherman was born
March 15, 1S92, at Crownpoint, Ind„
and died September 17, 19ls, at Fort
Grant, Canal Zone.
Claude came to Oklahoma in ls97,
and lived with Mr. and Mrs. Win.
Sherman on their farm, four miles
southeast of Dover, where he grew to
manhood. He left Oklahoma in 1909,
and subse«i\/cntly joined the 1*. S.
Coast Artillery. He was stationed at
Portland, Me., where he served three
years, retiring from the service to en-
ter the employ of the electric light
Co., of Chicago, serving as special po-
lite, during which time he provided
for his widowed mother.
On May Is, 1917, at his country's
call% he re entered the service, joining
the 9th Co.. ('oast Artillery, and was
stationed at Camp Fort Grant, Canal
Zone, where he was serving at the
As a boy. Claude was mild-manner-
ed. obedient, industrious and purpose-
ful. He was unusually devoted to his
uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Sherman,
who always regarded Claude as their
boy.
He gave his today, that we might
have tomorrow. He dropped from the
ranks of those fighting to make the
world safe for democracy, and .joined
those now hushed by the democracy of
death.
He who plows ami plants that others
may reap, is of noble blood, but he
who dies that a Nation may live, is
made of the stern stuff that justifies
the songs that sing his deeds, and the
wreathed marble that marks the sa-
iled spot where his ashes sleep
The Nation's Holy of Holies is
about the resting place of her soldier
dead, for there above the ark of her
safety stand with intertwining wings,
the cherubim of Loyalty and Devo-
tion.. and about them, if anywhere on
earth, there shines revealed, the glory

The Commission has therefore con-
sidered that the revenue for ther re-
maining seven months will produce
twice that earned during the summer,
since the installation of the trans-
mission line, adding to that the addi-
tional yield by reason of the increased
rates applied for we have a net oper-
ating revenue of approximately $4,
914.00. This amount represents 13 per
• ent of .f.'i7,s00.00. The Commission
considers that the applicant is entitled
to an amount of approximately 5 per
••♦'lit for depreciation of the plant. In
addition thereto, the rate should be
sufficient to allow at least £ per cent
return on the investment. The value
of $.''.7,S"0. uO represens 71' per cent of
the book value of the plant as shown,
and less than *" per cent of the value
found b\ the Hoard of Equalization,
plus the proportion of transmission
line pro rated to Hennessey on the
mileage basi- The Commission is not
satisfied that the mileage basis is a
correct one for pro rating the cost of
transmission lines to individual cities
.iad towns such as cities and towns,
as well as others that may hereafter
be supplied by the same transporta-
tion line, should bear their just pro
portion of the construction cost of
s line The Commission is at the
•sent time endeavoring to find a
formula for this distribution that will,
n a measure, properly distribute the
ost of these lines to the cities and
towns benefited, and until this trans-
— io11 line has progressed sufficient
to determine at least approximately
• ost and the towns and cities to be
bom-fitted, the Commission has auth
'.c«i a temporary rate schedule some
what lower than that applied for by

Cattle Loans
We Want Cattle Loans
We make an effort to handle all cattle loans so that
our customers can hold the stockers until the time
comes to sell at the best advantage—when the mar-
ket is just right. Now is the time to BUY. The
man who is lucky enough to now have grass and
roughness can make more money on stockers by
buying now than at any time in the past two
years. If you have the roughness and the grass and
the nerve, we will supply the money.
We have paid for probably a thousand head of
stockers during the past thirty days, bought by our
customers.
Do your business with a Strong Rank like the
Farmers and Merchants National Bank of Hennes-
sey, which can and does help its customers make
money. We have the money to loan and can supply
all legitimate calls for money.
We appreciate your business whether it is large
or small, whether as a depositor or borrower, or
visitor.
