The sixth annual report OF the
Michigan State Telephone Co, just
out, shows gross earnings for the
year ending Dec. 81, 1909, OF $3.50
$50 as against s3.4l3,2s0 for the pre-
ceding year. The net earnings were
sS55,515 as compared with $9ll,429 In
1908. Expenses increased from 81,
5OI.S51, in 1903. 20 $2,964,1l5. and In
explanation of this the report points
out that taxes increased $13S,573 over
the preceding year. The net surplus
at the close OF the year was S6S5.95J
against S641,13s az the close OF 1908.
Four quarterly DIVIDENDS .have been
ffhfi notm On the cURn5n anu pre-
ferred stock at the rate OF per cert
per annum. Two OF the dividends on
common stock were declared out OF
earnings for 1908. and the remaining
two dividends out OF the 1909 earn
ings.
THE increase In the company's
business has been most satisfactory,
Notwithstanding the fact that the
profits have been materially reduced
by the heavy increase in taxes" says
the report. Heretofore your COM
pany has paid taxes TO the state or
Michigan on the basis of 3 per cent
of gross earnings. Under the law Of
1909, the basis of taxation has been
changed and the tax is now lexied
on an ad valorem basis, a valuation
OF sl1 500 900 having been placed upon
the property by the assessors.
The company's finances continue
in almost satisfactory condition. the
high standard OF the organization has
been maintained and continuation
of prosperous conditions may be ex-
pected"
II is formally announced that Tru-

Tess of the Storm Country" by
Grace Miller White. is worthy of a
careful reading because this novel de-
picts one of the strongest characters
which has appeared In a decade of
book production.
Tess was the untutored daughter OF
n squatter who was wrongfully accus-
ed of murder. but her Astounding faith
saved not only his life. but endeared
her TO the college community OF
Ithaca, near which the scene OF the
story Is laid. The book is filed with
dramatic situations which sustain the
readers interest merely as success
sion of events. bat in addition there
are many scenes which will touch the
heart with a tender sympathy for a
brave soul all but beaten down by the
stress of circumstances. The illustra-
lions are by Howard Chandler
Christy.
