made defendants in a suit filed here
to recover from the state 5435 acres

acres yearly. 1t is also alleged that
the state agreed to sell the entire cane
crop to the Imperial company for ten

tract is not binding. A half million
dollars are the financial claims in
volved.

Efficient SerDice Requires
 Sufficient Facilities

To meet these requirements it is essential not only that there be at all times sufficient cable facilities, under one control, but that they should be operated interchangeably with each other and in close physical connec- tion with land lines as one system. Ample spare facilities are necessary 10 provide against the very frequent cable interruptions.
 Neither the Western Union nor any one of the companies of the Western Union group has, independently of the others, facilities enough to handle the business which al times any one company might be called upon to take care of, because of some particular rush of business, or because of some cable interruption. Nor could any one company furnish all the direct circuits necessary for efficient service, all though the combined facilities of these companies are ample if they could be used supplementary to each other and interchangeably.
 As it is, each company operates its own cables through separate and dis tinct offices and under separate and distinct management. All interchange of business IS by actual transfer of the business from one company to the other, with the consequent delay and interruption of a service in which seconds are valuable.

The Trans-AtLantic Gable Situation and Competition

The transatlantic cable situation is as follows:
 The Mackay group of seven ca bles, including the German cables, owned by or worked in physical con- nection with the telegraph lines of that company form one system.
 The French cables comprise an in dependent system, using both the Western Union and the Mackay land lines for their United States counec- lion.
 Tn competition with these is the Western Union group of cables, eight in all, owned by three separate com panies, two of which are British companies owning five of the eight cables.
 Tuo only Of the British oUned cables terminate Tn the United States and all of them are entirely depen- dent on the Western Union for their connection sOith ony telegraph system, or for their reaching any centre Of business, and are notD Uorked exciu- siUely, SO far as business Is concerned, IUifh the Western Union.

Efficiency Increased,
 Waste Preuented

The proposed arrangement between the Western Union. the Anglo Amer ican and the Direct U. 5. companies will bring the eight cables Of the three companies under one operating con trol. The consequent increase in effectiveness and economy will place the Western Union in a position to offer certain advantages in cable service not now enjoyed by the public.
 The other way open to enable the Western Union to make such im- provements and introduce such new services as ii proposes to do, would be to lay new cables. This would seem to be the height Of folly Duplication of the existing trans Atlantic cable facilities at a cost Of many millions, when there are more than ample facilities for all business, would put an unnecessary financial burden upon an already fully buTiened business and would probably postpone the reduction of rates or introduction of new services

Limited Business Hours
 and Idle Facilities

As at present. carried on, the trans Atlsnfic cable business is practically all Hash service, l. c. instantaneous. Owiug to fhe difference in time, there are only a few business hours of the day common to both sides and during these hours at least 75E of the cahle business is done This is demon strated by the accompanying chart
 In the interests of international business nothing should be done to interfere in any way with the so-called flash or instantaneous service, and the lines should be kept clear to ac- commodate such messages during the few business hours common to both countries; but to continue to confne the cables to this class of service, as at present, will utilize only about 25R of the existing capacity of millions of property and places on that limited service all the capital, maintenance and operating charges.

A provisional modification of an arrangement which has existed for many years has been reached between the Western Union Telegraph Com pany, The Anglo-Americ1n Cable Company and the Direct U. s. Cable Company, under which the cable sys- tems of these companies now worked exclusively in business connection with each other, but operated and maintained separately. will be oper- ated in direct physical connection with each other and with the Western Union land system.
 Two objects are to be attained by this arrangement:
 First, more efficient and econonT- cal operation.

The attor- neys for the wool growers had em- ployed a rate expert to collect data and statistics relating to the north western situation. but t was decided that this would not be used in the case, and DePaSs was requested to prepare a large amount of data cover ing the whole case, to be introduced probably at the Phoenix hearing. which is tO be held on October 2nd. For this reason. much of the testimony DePass intended introducing at Albuquerque was postponed till the later hearing
 DePass states that rather peculiar feature was injected into the case at Chicago. At that place. q wool ware house has been established on a large scale. for the purpose of storing, grad ing and disposing of wool direct to the mills. and a determined effort was made to direct the hearing into such channels that rates would be estab- lished to Boston, made by combination over Chicago. In order to have the rate break at Chicago, a fourth class through rate on wool was even sug- gested as a reasonable rate. At several

Monopoly of Gable
 Business Impossible

There is no cable monopoly pos- sible. The three syste Western Union, the French and the Macksy-wil continue to exist.
 The Mackay Companies is a hold ing organization with no physical property, but exercising through stock ownership, lease or contract, operat- ing control of various companies owning land lines and cables which make up the Mackay System. Through this control all the various properties are operated as one system to great advantage in service over what could be given by these same companies if operated separately.
 The French cables form another system.
 The Western Union System, under the proposed arrangement for one operating control over the present segregated units, will be enabled to make two distinct advances in the trans Atlantic cable business:
 I-BETTER SERVICE. This will be insured by more efficient and econom- ical working resulting from single direction over the operations of both cables and land lines.
 2-PUBLIC ADVANTAGES. The greater part of the cable capacity has been and is now unutilized. It will continue to lie dormant and unutilized under existing conditions and tradi- tions. The Western Union purposes a kR G,r to the public by means of new kinds of cable service.
 In addition, the Western Union in- tends to nationalize its land lines by opening them to all trans Atlantic cable companies.

anybody any concern for, as may be imagined,
the average naval mascot is hopelessly overfed

There Is probably no experience
more universal among men than the
realization, at times, of the incom-
pleteness and unsatisfactoriness of
their lives. Why this almost univer-
sal dissatisfaction with ourselves and
our attainments? Is 1t not because
we were born for a great destiny,
and have within us possibilities of de-
velopment and Of power of which we
are only half conscious? Is 1t not this
very unrest of the soul-its unsatis-
fed longings after something higher
than 1t has yet attained--the very
proof of mans greatness and of the
greatness of the destiny that awaits
him, If he only be true to the highest
and best that is In him? What men
need to know and to see with clear
ness which only a few have attained
is, that man can only come to his
completeness and fullness OF life in
Jesus Christ. There Is everywhere
this innate longing after completeness
Of life and perfection of character To
show that Christ alone can fulfill
these aspirations would seem to be
the supreme task of those who live
and make known his gospel. Many
misguided people conceive of the
Christian life as narrowing and i'm.
poyerishing the Joy and fullness Of
the life that now is, instead of en-
larging and enriching 1t. Abiding in
Christ there Is fitness of life.
