OLD TELEPHONE -RATES PUT IN EFFECT AGAIN

I (, , T. P. A. Notes )

Indianapolis Court Ruling De- " dares Federal Long Distance Rates Ineffective. "..William M. Bailey, manager of tha Richmond Telephone company . .announced Saturday that - all long distance calls within the state are again under- the old .rates. This statement was' made following the" ruling of Judge Ewbank, ;., Friday in Marion county circuit court, holding that the Postmaster General Burleson's long distance rates and tolls illegal.

According to the new ruling, the Public Service Commission has a complete jurisdiction over telephone matters within the state. This ruling will relieve many complications, according to Bailey. The old long distance rates will stand while the matter Is being threshed out in the courts. Calls going Into Ohio or any other state, however, will still be under the Burleson rates and tolls. ' Bailey announced that the company was now empowered to , give better service on short calls. Heretofore, according to a ruling made by Burleson, the same rate was charged for a call to any phone within a distance of 12 miles whether or not the party made communications or not. The party calling took chances on finding his party at home. Calls now made for a certain party are toot charged in full unless the party is obtained. This ruling was revoked in January. Statement of Commission. The statement issued by the Public Service Commission follows: ' " The practical effect of Judge Ew. bank's decision is that the Public Service Commission of Indiana has authority to continue to -regulate telephone rates in Indiana, and that Post

master .General Burleson does not have authority to fix or regulate rates within the state. Burleson's toll rates which have, been collected since the recent hearing before Judge Anderson are, under Judge Ewbank's decision, illegal. The installation and moving charges which were initiated by Mr. Burleson in. December are likewise illegal, for the reason that they have not been approved by the commission. "The commission will continue to function and exercise complete Jurisdiction over telephone matters as it has done since the public utility act was passed. It will regulate telephone rates and service, regardless of Mr. Burleson's orders.

This is the regular monthly meeting night for Post C and a full attendance is desired. Secretary Hasty has many matters of importance to present for cur attention and several committee reports are to be submitted, chief of which is the report of the two nominating committees the white and the blue tickets which we will be called upon to accept for our annual election. Let us therefore Bhow that we are interested in the competition of these tickets to be voted, by vaicing our desires as this opportunity Is offered. Secretary, Hasty Is informed by State Secretary Zink, in a recent re

port, that Post C January 1, 1919, delinquents, are the lowest of any in the state. This Is certainly encouragjng, and together with the successful drive for new members by the committee recently appointed, should enable Post C to wind up this fiscal year, and go before our state convention May 2 and 3 next In a most healthful condition, and of which we will all feel proud. Carl "W. Ullman, secretary of the Richmond Commercial club, has accepted an Invitation extended by President Bartel, to address us at the close of our regular meeting tonight. That all members who take advantage of this opportunity of hearing Mr. Ullman will be fully repaid, there can be no doubt, as he will have something to say that all will enjoy. We must not neglect to make all plans and arrangements to attend the entertainment that Post C is giving on the night of March 8, in honor of the ladies of cur membership, and our members who have returned from the

I great world , war. From all we can

gather it will well be worth any sacrifice that we may be called upon to make. President Bartel Informs us that in the way of enjoyment we are

to be honored by having Bernard

Knollenberg as our guest, who will tell us of what he has seen and experienced in the Hawaii Islands, from which U. S. possessions he has just returned, having been located in the capital Honolulu for quite a time. Mr. Bullerdick and. Mr. Morris of the entertainment committee, seem to have something up their sleeve . tor that night's enjoyment that they will

r not divulge, but boys. If any past actions of theirs can be any criterion, do not stay at home. "Filler."

COURSE IN .RT IS GIVEN AT NIGHT SCHOOL

' . 'iiv: ;f art in which the pupil ';. ink-rested, is taught in the Art department of the Richmond night school under the direction of Francis F. Brown, of the day school Garfield teaching corps, and a well known Richmond artist. Twelve pupils have taken up art in the night school and are pursuing the work with great interest. What do you teach a pupil first if he doesn't know what kind of art work he wishes to pursue, Mr. Brown was asked. "If he has no preferences I get him to draw first." he said. "Anyone who wishes to paint must first know how to draw, in my opinion. A foundation nowadays opens the way to a large number of material fields, and I offer any sort of commercial work which my pupils wish, but I attempt to put before them the aesthetic side of art with as much inslstance as I find they can stand. "It is true that only one really great artist is found in every 5.000 art students, but the cultural value of art training. Is of everlasting good. As a matter of fact there are only two great things in life art and music. The casual thinker always laughs at this kind of a. statement, but it is generally he who can be easiest shown, for nearly always he thinks most about clothes, or houses, or good food, and would we not go unclothed if it were not for art? Everything is dependent on some form of art." Designing, house arrangement, charcoal work, still life, painting, stencilling and cartoon drawing are offered i;i the night school work. The pupils have numerous ambitions and plans, and attempt is made to reach each

one of these in the courses offered !

The classes meet at the regular times

on Monday and. Wednesday nights at 7:00 o'clock.

SELECTS SITE FOR TREE MEMORIALS Fifty red oak trees will be ordered and planted in Glen Miller park, a tree for every Wayne county boy who gave his life for his country in the world war, whether he died in camp in the United States or on the battle fields of France, Ed Hollarn, park superintendent, said today. The trees will be planted east of the green houses and south of. the flower beds.

The order for the trees . has not been let to any firm but several firms have made good bids. The lowest bid is ninety cents, made by a firm in Pennsylvania.

The art of vocational teaching is to be taken up in three two hour classes which have been started in the Richmond night school under the direction of the educational department of Indiana University. John Oscar Steendahl will teach the classes and a num

ber of persons are already signed up for the work. In the state of Indiana many persons who are teachers by profession are not legalized to teach vocational courses because they do not have 240 hours of professional education which is required. This training is offered in these classes which are divided into two kinds, one for factory, shop and otherwise industrially trained persons who have a great deal of practical knowledge fitting them for teaching, but who have not given thought to the theory of teaching; the other for teachers who wish to specialize "in vocational work. The Monday afternoon class offers thirty hours of work in fifteen weeks; the night classes meeting Monday and Wednesday offer sixty hours in fifteen weeks.

The Home The Heart of the Nation LEARNED men for ages have pointed out that one's environment has much to do with one's future success and happiness, particularly the environment of the home. For it is in the home that the minds and habits of man are formed for good or evil. A nation of poorly constructed, meagerly furnished homes produces a race of peoples whose majority incline to Bolshevism and anarchy. A nation whose people are adequately housed in comfortably furnished homes is a nation of strength and lofty ideals. Hence the home is the heart of the nation, and it is our duty and yours to make, the environment of these homes what it should be. Good furniture is one of the first essentials. REED'S
