Nashville.


The first Indication Of the disposi-
hon of the state railroad commission
relative to telephone matters was
given when the commission upheld the
complaint of the Sun Telephone COM
pany, west Tennessee corporation,
operating also in portions of Alabama
and Mississippi, against the Cumber-
land Telephone & Telegraph company
in its complaint filed In February.
The Sun company alleged the Cumber-
land was operating without franchise
rights in Henderson, Selmer and Ad-
amsville; that 1t had cut it's rates from
S1.65 to residences and $2.75 to bust
ness houses to a flat rate of so cents
to all, and that this action of the Cum
berland company was taken for the
sole purpose of driving the Sun COM
pany out of business. The complaint
was heard by the commission with the
result that the following order was
promulgated:
THAT the Sun Telephone & Tele-
graph company shall, within ten days
from this date, file with the commits
sion its exchange rates for telephone
service In each exchange it operates in
this state, and on or after April /,
1914, 1t shall be unlawful for the Cum
berland Telephone & Telegraph COM
pany, or any telephone company, to
charge less rates for exchange service
In any Of said places than may be
charged by the Sun Telephone G Tele-
graph company. 1t is further ordered
that no free exchange service shall be
furnished by any company in any of
said exchanges other than to the re-
spective municipalities and railroad
stations"
The commission is now working on
a plan to regulate telephone rates all
over the state, and will, it is said, have
Q hearing at an early date.

SUGAR BETS FOR HOGS.
Roots Provide Valuable Addition ia
the Winter Ration

All the root crops are valuable in the
feeding Of live stock In countries
where root crops are easily grown they
are fed in large quantities. and it has
been found that a pound OF dry matter
contained in the average root crop is
equal Ill feeding value to pound Of
dry matter in corn or similar concen-
trated feeds
The sugar beet is richer in feeding
value than most of the other root crops,
due to the fact that it contains Il large
amount of sugar. says the Kansas
Farmer. Sugar heets will form ii very
valuable addition to the diet of the
hogs during the winter season and
when grain feeds are scarce, might be
relied upon quite largely in the winter
ing of stock hogs. They can best be
preserved by storing them in some sort
Of root cellar or pit in the ground 1t is
necessary to prevent them from freez
ing. and stored in this way they will re-
tain their succulence through the win
ter season

MINE SIGNAL DEVICE.
New Apparatus Provides Practically
Footproof Code.

OOtHtOOt2 SOuC.
The signal systems of mines have
seen considerable Improvement of re-
cent years. The new Admit English
device is an apparatus forlse in mines
with audible and visual signals 1t
provides Il practically foolproof code
of signals for the hoists that convey
Elen and materials in and out of the
mines. writes an expert in the Engi
neering and Mining Journal.
The signals are sent in the following
way: If Il hoist signal is to be given
from any mine level the miner moves
the lever of his Instrument around un-
til the pointer is over the required
signal-for instance. placing it over
No. g. This has the effect of placing
the pointers of all the other instrl1-
ments. the engine room excepted, upon
signal No e. At the same time the
acoustic signal is sounded ut each
point six times. When ready for the
order to be carried ont by the engine
man the man at the surface passes it
on to him BY merely pressing q carry
out" push. This causes the signal No.
i to be recorded on the dial of the
engine house receiver and the electric
horn or bell to sound six times. while
the pointers on all the other inStru-
ments all come back to zero. The sig.
nal thus given remains on the engi,
neers instrument until a fresh signal
comes in.
Each instrument is provided with an
indicator to show the level from which
the order is being sent in. and by a
special Continuance it is impossible for
a signal to be given from any other
point than the one indicated. This
| renders mistakes or malicious Interior
ence impossible. and there can never
be any doubt as to where each signal
| is sent from.
In case of pressing danger another
| signal. differing in tone from the other
| alarms, can be given by pressing an
emergency push. and this signal is
sounded at the surface and in the en-,
/ CINE room. The advantages claimed
for the new device are simplest and
quickest transmission from mine lev
els to surface, also the assurance that
| by a single pressure of push the
banksman transmits to the engineer
i only the signal given from below.

is OF channel section. while the
spokes are hollow and have sides curv-

without sudden change in direction
This wheel is somewhat lighter than
