PHONE COST UP,
FARMERS ASTIR
Resent Increase Of Fifty Cents
a Month in D. & A.
Charges

Farmers all over the county are
Joining in the protest against the adj
vance Of fifty cents a month for tele-
phone service being placed in effect by
the Delaware end Atlantic Telephone
Company. Country people have boen
paying 81 a month for telephone SER
vice. The company hss now advanced
the fee to $3.50 month on the plea
that il cannot continue the service at a
profit at less. ana a storm Of complaint
has been aroused.
Already some of the farmers have
disconnected. This decreases the value
Of the service to the others who con-
tinue it. In some cases as many as
twelve subscribers were on one party
line.
Complaints of alleged poor service
supplements the protest against the
advance. Some farmers allege that
they have been mlsinformed as to the
service by agents Of the Delaware and
Atlantic Company. Moreover. they be-
lieve that the.company Is taking undue
advantage of them in view Of the fact
that the company was strenuous in is
effort to have the farmers put In its
phones at the 81 rate.
1t is expected that the oranges
whose members are affected by the ad-
vance win protest vigorously. Harmony
Grange, Of Mermaid. has already re-
sented the advance. and the members
have gone to the extent Of declaring
that they would erect their own poles
and wires rather than pay the addi-
tional fifty cents.

PHILADEErfTA. Anril 1s-The re-
suit of Saturdays primary election has
been to foreshadow clearly the re-elec-

legislative districts in this city in
which the issue against him was sharp
ly drawn and n which the opponents

sive victories.

publican Organization for the Legis-
lature has been nominated, and while
in some districts They win be opposed
by anti-Penrose candidates. who, while
failing of the Republican nomination,
have been placed on the City party
ticket, the Republican leaders predict
that Penyose will have the support of
a solid legislative delegation.
The ePnrose forces also won a not
abel victory in Allegheny county, where
his friends completely showed under
the Home Rule" ticket that had been
put in the field by Former State Sena-
tor Finn. So completely was Finn
routed that reports from Pittsburg in

renominated on all three tickets, and
Judge Ashman polled the highest vole
of any candidate on the Republican
ballot, receiving 107,5S8 votes. He also
polled thu highest vote on the Demo-
