HOWE TELEPHONE COMPANY GIVEN

RATEJJTIIORITY $3 Increase in Effect Since Autumn 1918, Sanctioned by Commission. The Indiana Public Service commission has granted the Richmond Home Telephone company the right to raise practically all rates $3 a year, for the period ending October 1, 1920. A joint petition, asking for the increase in rates, was presented to the commis sion by the city of Richmond and the telephone company. The award was made public Tuesday. The rate has been in effect since October 1, 1918. so there will be no further rate change by the company. Single line business nhones raised from $39 to $42 a year, single line residence phones from $21 to $24, twoparty business lines, from $33 to $36, two-party residences from $18 to $21 and four-party residences from $15 to ?18. ; The Increase on the country telephones controlled by the Richmond company Is the same except that $6 is added to the charge for each halfmile the phone is beyond a one-mile radius of the central office. Is Emergency Measure The Increase was granted as an emergency measure according to the commission's decision, and was given because the company was not making a sufficient profit, because of the high cost of all materials used In the business, and Its own energy in giving efficient service. The compromise between the city and the company, and the joint petition, followed a petition filed for increased rates by the company last fall, according to which the company was to begin the higher charges on October 1. 1918. ... The city, through the city attorney, filed objections to this increase, and a period followed during which the company and the city sought to compromise. The temporary establishment of higher rates was proposed by both, finally, and no opposition was expressed. Efficiency Cmmended Thereupon the company and the city presented a joint petition ask'ng for the increase, and this has bevn granted almost in entirety. The original p -tltion asked for a $6 charge per year on city service extended into the country for each quarter-mile away from a central station, and the commission gavo this increase only for each halfmile. "Petitioners property from the standpoint of service rendered stands out as one of the most efficiently operated plants In the state of In diana," says the award, and weight was given to the fact by the commission. Consideration was also given to the company's efforts to expand automatic service into the country. COUNCIL DISAPPROVES OF NEW SCHOOL SITES City council will meet with the school board on Monday night. May 12, to talk over the two proposed sites for new school buildings which were disapproved by a resolution passed at council meeting Monday night. The "movie" ordinance, with its disputed provision about crowding prac tically cut out, partly Dy tne committee and partly by the city attorney, passed on third reading and is now law. It provides that no baby cabs Bhall ft and in entrances, and that aisles must be kept free. The ordinance as passed upon by the ordinance committee, provided the use of lines or markers to, hold in the crowd, but -i his provision was forgotten by the city attorney. A resolution was passed that the city keep a plain clothes man on duty at the bluff west of the bridge on Main street to arrest reckless motorists. Attention was called to the fact that speeding and carelessness have caused many accidents at this turn, and that motorists are paying less and less attention to speed laws or ordinary precaution there. The suggestion was made that the Boy Scouts be asked to police and guard the playgrounds, thereby relieving the city of the expense. Councilman Waidele, as soon as the school board matter was introduced, rose to call attention to the objections he had heard to the sites selected by the school board, and was seconded by Matt Von Pein and others. All paid that , they bad heard many objections. Councilman Ford proposed a resolution that the ground which the board wishes to buy should not be ViiMitrht This -was passed, and coun cil decided to meet the board next Monday night.

"This rainy cold weather is just the kind to make a felow wish he was somewhere else from where he is," writes Private Paul Drudy, of the 6th U, S. Engineers in a letter to his mother, Mrs. W. P. Clark, of 601 i Main street. "And there is only one place in the world I want to be and that is back in the U. S. A. So you can figure what my thoughts are.

We sure did have some dinner steak, mashed potatoes, green peas, jelly rolls and chocolate candy, then to follow it up they 'passed around cigarettes. Oh, we are beginning to live in style over here. Al though that may not seem grand to you, we have not forgotten the days when tin Willie, or goldfish and hardtack was the regular diet, and I think this company is the best feeding outfit in this part of Europe. "Yesterday about everybody went to Andernash on pass. We took a very interesting boat ride on the Rhine. Went about forty kilometers down the river to Bonn and back. The scenery is wonderful. There was a "Y" man along who acted as crier, pointing out the places of interest and teling their history briefly. The river itself doesn't seem so extraordidinary as we would imagine it. It is not more than a quarter of a .mile wide, and just ordinary water muddy at that. I was quite disappointed in it. But the river flows through mountainous country and wonderful old cliffs, and large rocks loom up on either side. On the tops of many of the mountains we saw the ruins of an old castle, which in former days had been used for protecting and guard CUT THIS OUT IT IS WORTH MONEY DON'T MISS THIS.

At Bonn the river widens more than usual, so there is quite a town there, somewhere around 80,000 people. We had an hour's shore leave there and went around and saw the sights. , "We went Into Church that is famous for its age and beauty and it certainly was worth seeing, .i, . -. "We ate dinner on the boat on our way back and regular American rations put out by German cooks. Oh, yes, we had music and lots of it. There was an army band on board, and down below a German-orchestra which played a mixture of classical music and the good old " American rags. We got back to Andernash, and went up town to a cafeteria which was entirely American style. You line up; get a tray, then go around and take what you want off the counter. And they had pie, and doughnuts and other good things, and say that pie was good. It was the first I had had since I came over." Harold E. Skinner has notified his parents, Mr. and Mrs..

Early Cabbage

By F. W. WESSLER, Garden Supervisor. Early Cabbage plants may be set in the garden just as soon as the ground is prepared in the spring, or from the 1st to the 15th of April. If the soil has no' warmed up much by that time it is better, to wait until the latter )artvcf April of first part "of May before setting out the plants. Be sure in buying your plants, or In raising them, that they are well hard ened-of f before setting them In the garden so that they will be immune to light frosts. The most popular early varieties of cabbage are the Jersey Wakefield, a pointed head type, and the Copenhagen Market, a larger, round head type. These may be placed In rows two feet apart with the plants 18 to 24 inches apart in the row. Between the cabbage plants may be placed head lettuce plants, or leaf lettuce seed sown In the row. The salad will be ready to use before the cabbage needs all the room, and space will thus be economized. If the weather gets a little warm the cabbage plants will help to shade the lettuce and keep It cool enough to flourish. MERGENTHALER HEAD DIES (By Associated Press) BERLIN, Monday, May 5.

Famous OH Ships To Be Preserved At Washington . WASHINGTON, May 6. Plan ' lor bringing two famous old ships of the navy, the Constellation and the Hartford, to 'Washington to be set on permanent concrete foundations In the tidal basin in Potomac park and thus preserved, are . being considered by Acting Secretary Roosevelt In connection with a survey now being made of the Hartford for repairs. v It Is expected the surrey board will recommend

that a newer vessel than Admiral Farragut's flagship be placed as receiving ship at the Charleston Navy Yard. The Constellation is at Newport, R. I- and she and the. Constitution at the Boston yard are the only survivors of tne nary of rerolutlonary days. Mr. Roosevelt does . not anticipate that the people of New England would agree to the removal of the Constitu tion to Washington and therefore haft not considered gathering all three of the famous old ships at the national capitol. The project would require an appropriation to dredge a channel for the ships into the basin and to erect foundations for them. Aurusta. Maine, bookbinders have been granted an increase of $8 per ween. Aged

People

THE BANE of old age is constipation. The bowels become weak and unable to perform their functions without aid. For this purpose only the mildest and gentlest laxative should be used. The use of harsh cathartics aggravates the trouble and makes the constipation worse. Chamberlain's Tablets are a favorite with people of middle age and older on account of their gentle action.

Putting on a Front Some years ago a man who gave more than .passing thought to his clothes or abearance was sneeringly called a "dude" oy his fellows. That's all changed now. The ambitious men have become clothes sharps and the change probably began something like this: Every time a dozen youngsters were lined up before the boss-with-the-job, the eleven who lost out noticed that the winner was a well-dressed man, and Young America doesn't need many lessons like that to improve its appearance. The carefully-clad man is now the rule, the "slouch" the exception. In one way or another, most of us sell either merchandise or service for a living, and the salesman always precedes his wares. The customer or client forms his first impression of the thing for sale by his first impression of the banker, salesman, doctor or lawyer whom he is facing. Mussy lawyer, mussy law; shabby salesman, stale goods, and so on. None of these first impressions may be true or just, but they are made and must be overcome. None of us are too important to appear becomingly among our fellow men, and none are too unimportant to neglect this great step towards importance. "Clothes make the man" or they don't "clothes" meaning everything which makes up our "Exhibit A" the square-toed, upstanding man ; the friendly smile ; the clean-shaved face and spotless linen. It's needless to add that such a man is filling a becoming suit of clothes while tomorrow's trousers are being pressed that the fetching tie he wears was chosen from a decent stock of the same in his bedroom. Does this man succeed in business because he's well dressed, or is he well dressed because he is a business success? As to that there may be a difference of .opinion, but there's one thing certain he has learned that it's worth while always to

A GREAT ECONOMY BECAUSE OF EXTRA VEAR "After a trip to Kilauca. the active volcano of Hawaii, my Neolhvsoled shoes were the only ones not absolutely ruined. Many in our party won bob-nailed boots,' said Miss Jean P. Lane of Seattle. Washington. The sharp jagged lava of KHauea cots an ordinary sole to pieces quickly. That Neolin Soles stood the test but emphasizes their toughness and durability. These qualities are built into them by a scientific process. - Women and men and children, too wbo are hard on shoes should buy them with Neolin Soles, - They come in many styles, and because of the extra wear they give, are a great economy. And any repairman will re-sola your worn shoes with Neolin Soles, which are flexible and waterproof as well as loaff-wearing.
