IS NOT ASKING FOR INCREASED RATES { The Public Servicf company of I Northern Illinois today made the foli lowing statement relative to the hearjing before the Illinois commerce commission: "There appears to be some confusion | concerning the meaning of the hearing ;in progress before the Illinois commerce commission in Chicago. The company is not asking for increased rates. "The facts are these: In 1920, the ! Public Service company, on its showi inp of greatly increased operating costs, was authorized by the commis- ] sion to put into effect a schedule of advanced rates, being the rates that are ! charged at present, except that the rates for gas have since been reduced. The object of the present proceeding is simply to determine whether or not the existing rates are equitable both to the company and customer. "In the hearing now being held, the commission will weigh alL factors in the situation, such as cost of operation, etc. Naturally the eompany is interested in having its rates as low as is physically possible, as this permits of a wider and increased use of its services. The result is that it is anxious at all times to give customers the benefit of any savings which may be possible thru either declines in price of material entering into production or increased efficiency in operation on the part of its properties" Market your eggs at JSrickson's store.

She knows neither fear, love, restraint o(l master. No man has ever won he« love and no laws have ever curbed het whims. A stowaway is found, Steele 0*Con*i nor. -In this polished, aesthetic mail Lola finds a new interest in life. To the rough men of her life Lola has aln ways been indifferent, but Steele' awakens a new interest. Her worst premonitions are satis* fled, however, as the ship enters Saiitf> Francisco harbor, for revenue officer# board the craft and at a signal from Steele take command, accusing the crew of being smugglers. A hand to hand fight follows, in which Lola, escapes and the Tahiti Belle is blown up. Unknown to any one but her chief mate, Lola finds refuge in a secret; hangout, a San Francisco gambling! den, also a bequest from her father. That night she kidnnps Phyllis, <irival for Steele's h%pd, and set sail ii the Samoa Belle, the idea being tha£| Lola, by watching Phyllis, will leara how to be a real lady. The govern^ ment is interested in Phyllis' fate and; sends a destroyer and airplane in' search for her. Fate intervenes. A terrible storm makes Lola realize thk enormity of the venture and she dec* cides for Phyllis' sake to return to Safi Franciso. When the girl is placed in danger by the advance of one of th§> crew, Lola, her soul discovered and active, springs to the rescue, even a£ the government- airships bear dowil upon the vessel. A crashing climax brings a satisfying conclusion. WATCH REPAIRING Notice is hereby given that I hav# made arrangements with Mar|nn B.
