3 Killed, 3 Hurt in Crash

IANSINTi. Mich. Aug. 13. Telephone rites in all exchanges of the (itis:--ns Telephone company, except In tirand Jiapids, aro Increased by an order i..-ued by the Michigan public utilities commission Thursday. The average increase is 15 per cent. The new rates are effective October 1. The company has asked that its rates bo increased to the level of the rates of th.i Michigan State Telephone company for exchange's of similar size. Thi3 would have meant an increase of approximately 23 per cent, but the request was denied. It is pointed out in the order that the service of the company is not satisfactory in all exchanges. The order also contains a provision that the commission retains authority to reduce the rates of any exchange without further notice or hearing in case reasonably adequto telephone service is not rendered. The opinion accompanying the order increasing the rates declares that the commission co:Lsiders that duplication of telephone service resulting from the presence of two or more companies in the same territory and forcing subscribers to pay for two telephones in order to obtain adequate service is unsatisfactory.

POTATO CROP LOOKS TP. TRAVERSE CITY, Au&. 13. It now appears that the protracted drouth of the summer did not completely ruin the potato crop, but that an unprecedented situation has occurred in that potato seed placed In the ground in June laid practically dormant until August. A brief survey indicates that potatoes will be at least 00 percent of normal, in spite of the gloomy outlook of a month ago. Some of the best potato fields found in years are seen through the country, and it seems clear that the only thine which will prevont a fair crop is an early frost. city orTlcials, or others who may want to ask them. The mayor contends that figures presented by the company as a bais for a rai? in fare, are not altogether, fair.
