KNOCK THE TELEPHONE
Many School Directors Do Not Want
Them in BUILDINGS.

Telephones were discussed at some
length by the school directors at their
special meeting this afternoon. There are
telephones in all the school buildings, but
they are of the nickel in the slot pattern
The school teachers think that the board
should provide telephones for each school
house.
Members Of the school board, some Of
them at least, doubt whether phone is
desirable institution for school. They
believe that there will be too many calls
for the teachers during the school hours
Moreover, it will cost the board more than
500 a month for the telephone service.

General Use Of Gasolene Engines,
However, Keeps the Price
Well Up.

4 Oil men say. that the extraordinary
growth in the use Of gasolene engines for
all purposes, the automobile included has
caused the demand for gasolene to In
crease rapidly the country over Dealers
say the automobile takes a good deal Of
glory to itself in many ways, but that it
alone, or that class of vehicles alone,
could hardly have pushed the price from
the point at which it used to rule, in the
neighborhood Of 10 cents, retail, to it's
present price of about II cents whole
sale. 'h%.s
The other day the price was given a.
boost Of cent a gallon, but this was not
due to any special thirst on the part Of
the great caravan of bubbles which
the world now supports. It was coinci-
dental with, an advance in the price of
crude oil, which controls the price of gas
olene.
