values. Under the present contract
with passengers the transportation
lines assume maximum value OF 500
for checked baggage Mercantile In
terests of the country have petitioned
railroads to increase this liability to
5000 or $500, and this probably will be
done. that is, the higher figure may be
agreed upon.
Under the new rules there is an ap

allowed TO check twice as much bag
gage as passenger travelling to points

The following is quoted from a
more recent letter from Charles Fin
ley, who is investigating the prairie
chicken proposition:
This week l have worked in Coles
county as you will see by the en-
closed statements:
in these statements the farms ag-
gregate S.154 acres, on which there
are estimated ae2 prairie chickens, or
one to about each 80 acres. Note the
unamity of these statements and those
of the southern counties.
ut is also interesting to note that
as regards the open season the ng-
ures are just reversed. In the south
ern counties about so per cent OF the
farmers favor an open season. Here
in Coles county about the same pro
portion are against the open season. =

up the same as quarter prepayment

cutting the telephone off the line after
II has used quarters worth of time.
1t is expected that this invention
will cause something OF sensation
among telephone men "As rule, "
says Mr.. Martin. ''one-third of the tele-
phone calls passing over a switch
board are from non-subscribers, one
third are practically unnecessary and
the other third are actual business.
It can readily be seen that if this two
thirds of unnecessary business can be
eliminated, telephone service would be
cheaper to the people who pay and at
least fifty per cent less calls will be
coming over the switchboard"
But the greatest advantage of the
meter phone is that it Will absolutely
cure .'rubbering" on the rural lines, for
few people would care to pay for this
privilege.
