Cooperative Telephones.

The rural telephone people, who
had a representative before the
councilmen Monday night for the
purpose of getting permission to
come into Hickman and extend their
lines to all parts of the town, will
doubtless build into Hickman right
away. The only consideration ask
ed by the council was that the new
system do its own fighting at its
own expense should any suits arise
by reason of them coming here; this
being secured by ST 900 bond.
The plan is to let every subscriber
own his phone, line to the central
and small part of the switchboard,
thereby making il mutual concern.
II will not be, as a matter of course,
run for profit to anyone, other than
the saving it will be to each sub
scriber between what he is now pay
ing and What he will then pay. The
initial expense, or the purchasing OF
phone and the building of line to
the board will vary-possibly
amounting from SIS to S30-but
thereafter the service should be
maintained for much less than one
half of what We pay the Cumber-
land.
Just what effect this will have on
the trust remains to be seen, but
there is little doubling that it will
cripple them. And just so long as
one company has a monopoly on the
business here, Just that long will
they continue to squeeze the "dear"
public. If it is true, as the Cumber-
land representative stated here be-
fore our business men, that they are
not getting a reasonable per cent on
their investment here, years
operation Of the new concern, at the
prices they propose to charge, will
knock the said new system into a
cooked hat.

POINTS TO REMEMBER.
The Cans for the Creamery MIX Mus,

have seen a good many places where
the patron will empty the can and

have no warm water handy. II In no
wonder some patrons got the milk

Then after the can is washed. lay II
down in a place where the fresh air
will blow and let II lie there for about
three hours. Then you Will have a can
that is ready and Mt TO receive the
milk.
That ia the most trouble In the sum
mer season. The cans are not prop
erly cared for. And that is the reason
the creamery man always gets more
or less sour milk so be sure aud take
care or your milk cans.
After the milk Is placed IN the can

stay In the barn over night-for II will
absorb all the stable air. and when
the milk comes to the creamery and
you take the cover on the can the

ON CURRENCY QUESTION.
Mr.. Fowler IN. J.) Makes a Speech in
the House.

Washington, April 30.-While the
house was proceeding under the order
of general debate ON the sundry civil
appropriation bill Mr. Fowler IN. J.)
chairman of the banking and currency
committee, delivered speech on the
currency question.
He said that In all of the hearings
given by the banking and currency
committee only two defendants of the
Aldrich bill put in an appearance, one
of them being former Comptroller OF
the Currency Dawes.
Mr.. Fowler said that in recognition
of an expressed sentiment in favor oi
limiting financial legislation at this
session of congress to the passage OF
a currency commission bill, the bank
ing and currency committee had re
ported for passage such a bill, intro
duced by himself, and he spoke briefly
for It's passage. Opposing favorable
action on the Aldrich bill Mr.. Fowler
warned the house that the enactment
of that measure would precipitate on
the United States treasury $750,000,
900 of national bank notes and he de-
manded:
How are you going to redeem
them?" He asserted that not even
the few champions of the bill had
succeeded in answering that question

PAPER TRUST HEARING.
John Norris of the New York Times
Again on the Stand.

Washingt On, April 30.-Upon resum-
ing his tes stimony before the select
committee of the house on wood pulp
and print paper John Norris, business
manager of the New York Times, fur
nished the committee with data show
ing that H. G. Craig & Co. controlled
the output of seven independent mills.
Until these mills were combined into
one selling agency, Mr.. Norris said,
there was no concentration of control
of news print paper mills. Respond
ing to series of questions from
Chairman Mann Mr.. Norris said that
the mills controlled by Craig & Co.
did not undertake to make sales inde-
pendently.
rs 1T your claim" Mr.. Mann asked,
"that all these mills agree upon a
price which H. G.. Craig & Co. carry
out, or, after conference, that they de-
eide upon the price which they carry
out, SO that there is no variation In
price-no competition"
"The claim of the publishers" the
witness replied. sis that in some way,
either by direction of Craig & Co. or
by arrangement with them, common
price is agreed on among all the
mills"
