whole matter reminds me of an Incl
dent that occurred with an old friend
of mine many years ago in Carroll
County. This friend was big, bare
foot, overgrown country boy about
nineteen years OF age. He had been
attending campmeeting in the neigh

he had gone to the mourners' bench,

preacher approached him one day and
said: my brother. have you found
peace in your soul at last?' The boy
with tears running down his cheeks
and nose red from crying and perpet

replied: mo, this hour seems darker

The first of another month is APP
preaching, and the Cumberland Tele-
phone Company will present its bills
for service to Hattiesburg patrons.
This newspaper has shown that the
Cumberland Telephone Company has
been discriminating between Hatties-
burg patrons-that 1t has charged
some residence subscribers $3.50 a
month and others $500; that it has
charged some business subscribers
$3.50 and others ss.50-and the Off
Gals of the company have been forced
to admit the fact before an investigat-
ing committee of the city council,
when confronted with the evidence.
Now the Cumberland Telephone
Company, through its accredited repre-
sentative, has promised Mayor Donald
and the city council that it would re-
fund to local subscribers the money
which it has unlawfully taken from
their pockets-the difference be
tween the lower and the higher rate
charged during the past year.
But the company has thus far failed
to comply with this promise.
1t is up. to the individual subscrib
ers to demand their rights, and thi'
newspaper now calls upon them t
lend their assistance to win this figh
by fatty refusing to pay for service
antil the amount unlawfully collected
has been refunded.
If you have been paying more thar
the $3.50 and $3.50 rate and the Cum
berland collector presents you with
bill for August service just tell him t
apply part of the money which thu
company is now due you to the settle
ment of the account. Pay no attention
ii threats, but stand pat.

milking begins, man goes down the

cloth, wipes the udders and quickly
moistens the hair of the flank on the
side ON which the mixer sits. 1t is. of
course, necessity that all manure
should be removed from the neighbor-

mud or boys of liquid manure, or filth
of any description, which they can get

When medical authority of the

places his name over the statement
that teaspoonful of milk. if absolute

handled in the ordinary barn or cow
shed, then carried to the ordinary
dairy, milk room or cellar, show at the
end of the first hour three thousand
germs, of the third fifteen thousand,
the sixth, forty-five thousand. the ninth
one hundred thousand, and the twelfth,
two hundred and fifty thousand-,then
we ask any housekeeper if she can es
innate the population of that innocent
looking milk pitcher, and if she has
any idea of how many far from inno-
cent organisms enter the baby every
time it applies to the milk bottle?
If those germs would only expire
after they enter the child's throat
but they aon't. These germs says
the same authority, setting up putre-
faction changes in the milk, continue
these changes in the food canal of the
child. This turns digestion and nu-
triton into process of self-poisoning,
the child dwindles and droops. and the
first milk infection that happens to at
tack it carries 1t of"
DR.. Hutchinson is evidently fair
minded man. He does not condemn
the COW nor her milk, but praises both.
What he does blame is the additions
to the milk made or caused by the peo-
pie who handle it. He emphasizes the
statement that ninety per cent of the
injurious effects of milk are due to
the germs contained in plain, common
dirt, barnyard manure. from the sides
OF the COW, the hands Of the mixer, the
dust Of the stable and the barnyard. :

perfectly innocent OF evil intentions

morning and evening, up and down
Connecticut and Pennsylvania ave-

utmost abandonment, gaze in at the

men have been seen boldly to enter
cigar stores and other evil resorts and
making their exits viciously putting
cigars and cigarettes.
The street cars run here all day
Sunday, and the church bells add their
clamor to the din of this day, that
should be kept quiet and sacred as
day of rest. In view of the uproar and
disturbances that ever mark the Sab

to be placed in position along the east

PHONE BUSINESS PROFITABLE
Last Years Business of Wenatohee Con
Germ Shows Net Profit Of
20 Per Cent

The Farmers Telephone & Telegraph
Co., says the Wenatchee World Of
April /, issued an per cent cash div
idend to its stockholders. At the pres
ent time there are 1853 stockholders in
the company, representing 447 shares.
According to the annual report Of
Secretary Littlefeld the company, which
is an entirely local one, shogs a profit
OF 20 per cent, issuing dividend Of
8 per cent, thus leaving II per cent
to go into new Improvements.
Some OF the directors decided to
issue bonds to carry the Indebtedness
OF the institution. These bonds have
been taken up by the stockholders
themselves. In fact the stockholders
have just begun to recognize the value
of these bonds as an investment.
The company is purely local con-
Germ and was organized by the farmers.
At the time of the organization Of the
company a fight with the old Pacific
States company was precipitated. The
excellent service, together with the
fact that the company was strictly local,
gave the Farmers company the advan-
tage, and it was not long till the out
side company was out Of the field.
The valley has been strung with
wires from Peshastin to Malaga. At
the present time a branch is being
strung up the Stemilt creek which will
give service to twenty more subscribers.
Another line is being strung up Clock
um creek.
Material has been ordered for the
East Wenatchee extension. Badger
Mountain farmers are also DESTROYS OF
connecting with the local company.
