G. P. Llobondorfer was, elected
city superintendent of Public schools
at a meeting of tho school board last
Monday ovenlng. Seldom is a school
so fortunate as to find material right
at its very door to fill a vacancy in
Its highest office. Mr. Liebendorfer
has been horo a number of years as
principal of the high school and hlB
ability is undisputed and universally
recognized. Ho will give his undivided
attention to the work and the Tele
graph will have something to say
from time to timo of his labors. Ho
has the hearts of tho students and
amble ability to hold their interest
and get the greatest good work from

Havo you over been in a storo where
you felt in your bones that It was
necessary to keep one hand on your
watch and tho other on your pocket
book, and where tho good offered for
sale convinced you that It you spent
a dollar you would bo making a bet
with tho proprietor with all the odds
In his favor that ho couldn't skin
you? Did you over buy merchandise
with the firm conviction that If It
proved dofoctlvo, If you found out
when you got homo that it was not
what It was represented to bo you
couldn't get your money back? If
you have had theso experiences, you
havo probably been dealing with a
non- advertiser. The advertiser is a
man who has invested a certain
amount in reputation. Generally ho
expects that If he sells to you once,
ho will soli to you again. To mako
his advertising pay, he must give you
a square deal. Sometimes ho even
spends moro to get you into his storo
tho first timo than the profit on the
first salo amounts to. And yet ho
gains In tho long run, because he
knows that If you buy tho first timo
on nls solicitation you will buy tno
second and third times of your own
accord. Wo don't say that every mer
cnant who doesnt advertise is a
cheat. Wo say that the safest way to
avoid being cheated Is to patronize
merchants who have a reputation to
sustain. Every regular newspaper ad
vertiser is engaged in building up a
reputation for fair dealing. His faith
in himself justifies you in having
faith in him.

Horshey S. Welch is recommending
to tho city council a plan for saving
a largo amount of. money for tho
water department and for getting a
supply of softer water for city use.
The facts givon by rr. WelcJi are
as follows: A test of the water from
the Kelly well as the now stntion In
tlie south part of the city is called,
shows that tho water contains only
about one-half tho solid matter that
is contained in tho water from tho
north side station. This means that
tho water from tho Kolly woll is
twico as soft as tho wafer from tho
central pumping plant. It is plain
that if tho entire output of tho Kelly
well could bo used it would give tho
citizens a softer and moro desirable
water. Tho Kelly well supplies from
900 to 1,100 gallons a minute. During
six months of the year tho consump
tion by tho whole city is only fiOO gal
lons a minute. So If tho Kolly woll
alono wore used during tho six winter
months It would furnish twico tho
s pply of soft water needed for all
purposes. Then tho central plant
would only bo used in cases of emer
gency. Tho Kelly woll is run by
olfCtrlclty. It costs about 4 cents to
pump a thousand gallons. Slnco only
half this amount is used tho other
half is pumped back into tho woll,
making tho cost 8 cents per thousand
gallons that aro used. Mr. Welch
says If wo had a tower and tank, tho
well could bo used to supply tho
mains, and excess would bo pumped
Into the tank Instead of putting it
back into tho woll. When tho tank
was full tho pump would automatical
ly shut off. When tho water lovel In
the tank got below a certain point
tho pumps at tho central station
furnish tho entiro city with a supply
Shoeing.
