My Dear Sif:-Your favor of the 18th
instant, addressed to our Mr.. Rowland, of
your city, has been forwarded to this of
fee, and we beg in reply to the anony-
nous communication signed Telephone
User to say that this Company. or. rather,
its predecessor, the Great Southern Tele-
phone & Telegraph Company. was granted
franchise at an early date. Reference
to this franchise is made in the minutes
of the town council of June IS, 1902, when
the council amended the ordinance of
June 3, 1895, requiring the Great Southern
Telephone &1Telegraph Company to paint
all of its poles erected within the corporate
limits. Again on July 18th, 1898. the
council specifically. upon motion of Alder
man Kline, seconded by Alderman
HForcha, established the right of the
Cumberland Telephone & Telegraph Com
pany. and we have the feeling that any
fair minded man. Qrset of men. who will
make prener iHvestig alton sri u reach the
conclusion that any and an the things
that have been done by this Company in
the way of establishing its plant in Dom
aldsonville and in meeting the demands
for service in most generous and prompt
manner all over the parish, have all been
done after a plain and frank statement
upon our part and positive affirmative ac-
ton upon the part of the council and
mayor. We do not attach any special
value to the franchise per Sc, for we think
that only gives us the right to invest
money and the opportunity to try to
make an honest return in the shape of
dividends for the stockholders who have
put up the money for the purpose of such
investment, and that the franchise is val

PRICES ON The TosoeeAN
Big Drop in Potatoes Followed by De-
clines All Along the Line

New York, April 22.-The present
sensational drop in the price of pota-
toes may mean cheaper food of all
kinds. ~Farmers are closing out
their supply Of old potatoes for as lit
tie as 90 cents a bushel. which is the
lowest price in many years. Other
food is also cheaper. AS a result Of
its investigations the American Agri-
culturlst for April % will say:
"A marked decline has occurred in
the prices OF certain food products.
If this decline continues much longer
the commissions that are investigat-
ing high prices will find themselves
out of q job.
Compared to the high point in
wheat last year, the present market
at Chicago shows a decline of II
cents q bushel. The decline in corn
from the high point of last year is
10 cents and oats 20 cents. In other
words the present wholesale price OF
oats is 80 per cent below the highest
prices OF last year, corn is off "a
per cent and wheat IA per cent.
These declines in grain are re-
liected in mill feeds Wheat bran
is now selling in the West at So or So
a ton less than previous highest quo
tations a decline OF Fl per cent while
middlings have declined at New York
points about SO ton or II per cent.
Even cotton seed meal is off SO to 81
or to 10 per cent. Cotton itself II
a fraction of cent pound less than
in January, showing decline of
about per cent.
Potatoes have not been so low in
years, wholesale prices at present
being at 40 to so per cent lower than
in November last. Vast numbers of
farmers held on to their potatoes I'M
til the late winter or spring markets
and are now glad to get rid of their
stock at 20 cents a bushel, whereas
year ago they were wholesaling at
Chicago at 81 a bushel at this time.
Butter has declined six per cent,
eggs have gone off as usual in the
spring. Even beef cattle have no
more than held the high quotations
OF March and hogs are a trifle off, al
Though still very high, and prices of
sheep and lambs well maintained.
There Las been a break in the price
of hay at country points in the West,
and beans are also cheaper.
The tables in this issue prove that
current prices are higher than the
values which prevailed few years
ago, but in numerous instances far
mers are now receiving good deal
less than last year.
Altogether, indications multiply
that reaction in food prices has ia
ken place. With good crops in 1910
we may expect the price OF food Il
consumers to be considerably lowel
than during the past II or is months
although we do not look for a return
to the phenomenally low prices of II
and 20 years ago.
Cold weather this week may d.
considerable damage TO fruit crop
but there is ample time for sprinl
grains to be reseeded wherever tn
sprouting crop has been badly fros

Talk about energy!

A half cake of Fels-Naptha soap can
display more energy in getting rid of dirt
In half an hour than an able-bodied
woman can in half day.
But there's this difference: Much of
the woman's energy is wasted.
When she rubs clothes hard on a
washboard she wears out the clothes in
trying to rub out the dirt.
Fels-Naptha concentrates its energy
on the dirt-diSSolveS it into tiny particles
that are easily rinsed away without
harming the most delicate fabric.
And it does this in cool or lukewarm
water, without hot water or boiling, sum-
mer or winter.
DO you prefer 10 supply the dirt
removing energy yourself or to use that
stored up in cake of FelS-Naptha2
If you choose the easier and better
way, follow directions on the red and
green wrapper.
