TO PLOW UP GOLF COURSES
Suggestions Made to Seed Athletic
Fields m England to Supply
Food During the War.

London, Aug. 90 Proposals that
golf courses, cricket and football
fields be plowed for raising crops dur
ing war time have been reaching the
wal office.
A. J. Sherwood, secretary Of the
WaIton-Heath Golf Club, at EPSON
points out that there are at least
1000 golf courses in the country which
could spare some if not considerable
land for cultivation. The Walton
Heath club has already started an eN.
pertinent OF twelve acres under cult
yatiOn. and its secretary believes
that If other clubs including cricket
and football organizations, would do
the same, the scheme would provide
employment for thousands of unskil-
led workers, and add considerably
to the nations food supply.
Another of Mr.. Gullich's proposals
is using the 10000 caddies who are
now idle to help farmers get in the
harvest.

MANY TOWNS ARE INVOL we'd
Question of Whether Telephone Com.
panies Must Observe Franchise
Up to Supreme Court.

Fort Dodge, Aug. 26.-The Fort
Dodge telephone case, involving the
question whether telephone companies
in Iowa are bound by franchise issued
to them, has been appealed to the su.
preme court. 1t will probably come
on for hearing during May, 1915.
The telephone company has won its
point so far, although it is under $25,-
900 bond to refund to subscribers the
excess charges. If the supreme court
determines that the company is Oh.
liged to stick to the terms of it's
franchise.
The grant to the company, made in
1898 by vote of the people, provides
that charges for business telephones
shall never exceed $24 year and for
instruments in private homes, shall
not exceed $12 a year. The company
alleges it found these rates to be in.
adequate so 1t raised them for separ
ate stations to $39 a year for business
and S24 year for residence service,
with % cents a month discount for
prompt payment of bills. But the
company asserts that it still provides
party line service for S12 and $24 a
year.
The Fort Dodge Telephone company
purchased the telephone system in
Fort Dodge from the Iowa Telephone
company, thus claiming to have taken
over all of the rights the Bell system
had in that city.
The company denies that its right
to operate in Fort Dodge was through
the 1898 franchise. 1t claims that the
only effect the franchise had was to
permit the company to erect poles and
wires. 1t denies that the city of Fort
Dodge had any authority from the
state to fix the rates for telephone
service, therefore the clause in the
franchise stating what rates should
be, is void.
The city of Fort Dodge claims that
the franchise fixing the rate for serv-
/ ice was passed in good faith and was
accepted by the telephone company.
! This constituted a contract whiCa
cannot be violated, the city asserts.
The case is of Importance for 1t
will determine whether the several
hundred telephone companies in
Iowa are Obliged to live up to their
contracts with the various cities in
which they operate.
