more are conaumed.
This plan invites care against the
lavish use of electric lights in the

plan. One ncejr of lights with meter

Mghto coot bim last month Sl.OO. The

jj^etty close to that figure.
Manager Van Vleet at the McLaren

hitched on to Power Oo. current to
supply power for the elevator expresses himself as much pleased with
this power as compared with gasoline engine. It is too early yet to
determine the relative cost but Mr.
Van Vleet says he likes the present
plan.
Manager' Doherty of' the Power
Company says the whole tendency
today is to cheapen the price of current to large consumers and Vice
versa. He expects a big saving of
current by the installing of many
maters in the city.

New  Year,
Banks are the beat index of things
financial and according to tbia index 1909, despite crops not up to the
standardi was a good-year in the aggregate for Glare and north Isabella
counties.
Bank deposits in Glare reached
their highest point in the history of
the city with the opeplng of 1910.
The increase, in the savings, bank
department is most marked and the
number of depositors is constantly
increasing. Men who in the past
had no credit at the banks have in
many cases by steady industry
worked their way steadily ahead un->
til today their signature on a piece
of paper goes along way.
Wealth increases in this locality
and many are getting a share of the
increase.

450 strong do most heartily endorse
the stand taken by Pros. Attorney
Roy D. Mathews, and Sheriff Palmer

which has practically done away with
the whiskey drinking in said county,
We also congratulate ex-senator
Doherty in the stand he has taken
this year to abolish the saloon from
the State Fair grounds. The whiskey
sheet printed in Harrison with its
sarcasm and derogatory sayings will
make friends for the ex-senator. W©
condemn Pros. Attorney John Quinn
of Clare county and the peace officers
of the city of Glare for not enforcing
tne Local Option laws, and for allowing men to stagger through the
streets in a drunken condition, "_
