The Hays Telephone company had ap-
piled for IN increase of rates from
$3.50 to $2.5c for business phones,
and $1.00 20 $3.50 for city residence,
phones. No increase was asked for
rural phones. The company was rep
resented by E. A. Rae, Secretary CouI-
son of the Independent Telephone
company, and former Rate Clerk
Ferris of the Utilities commission
There was also a citizens protest COM
mittee composed of II. L. Pestana, j.
Smith and II. w. Oshant. This COM
mittee raised the question of jurisdic-
ton as to whether or not the commits
sion had any right under the law to
even inquire into the rates on ac-
count of an existing franchise, and
that it was a utility conducted within
the City of Hays, and for the further
reason that NO proper notice had been
given to or waived by the city of HAYS
The commission OVerruled all the OBJ
jectiOnS and proceeded to hearing the
evidence. Some evidence and esti-
mates were introduced, duly ia bulated
for the convenience of the commits
sion. Every witness was thoroughly
cr0SS-eXa mined by Mr.. Pestana of the
protest committee. It was brought out
that the company based its increase of
rates on the fact that everything has
gone up in price and that in view of
the depreciation that the present rates
were inadequate. The inventory
showed a physical valuation of $780,,
600, but the returns made to the state
tax commission showed only 5000

NEED SOCIAL LIFE
In Western Kansas to Build
Community Interest.
Says Hays Student Country Life
Commission Report.

Hays, Kan, July 28.-Western Kan
sas needs no one thing today more
than the development of the social
/ life, according to the report of the
student country life commission of the
Fort Hays Kansas Normal school,
which was made here Tuesday.
The commission, appointed by p.
Caspar Harvey, professor of English,
last year for the purpose of surveying
western Kansas communities with a
view to suggesting improvements in
! community life, pointed out that the
social problems and the problems OF
agriculture in country life are so bound
together as to make it almost impos-
! Sible to separate them.
Western Kansas rural life would be
made more satisfactory by building up
such institutions as would afford
greater educational advantages, pro-
mote mutual welfare, make and de-
Velop public improvements and give
rise to better living conditions in the
community" the report said. These
things may be brought about by eff
cient leaders acting through the social
center and educational institutions -
Farm Place of Business.
Miss Julia Annette Keeler, of Win
field, chairman of the student COM
mission, in presenting the report, as
serted that the modern farm is not
only a place of business, but a home,
and that both phases of the situation
should be considered.
The report, which was presented for
the consideration of the student body,
suggested that rural high schools,
consolidated school districts, clubs,
motion pictures, lecture courses and
sas to promote community education.
Churches, social gatherings, games
and contests, pageantry and commu-
nifty music were suggested as methods
to deepen rural acquaintance
The problem of public improve
ments was considered and it was
pointed out that those things most
necessary in this section are better
reads, better public buildings, santa
ton, tree planting, irrigation and the
extension of rural routes and tele-
phone systems
Improve House Conditions.
1t was asserted that transportation
facilities should be improved, espec-
tally by the equipping of a larger num-
Der of farms with motor cars. The
report urged that the drudgery of the
farm woman be lessened by the con-
struction of modern homes and the CO.
operative laundries and creameries.
The necessity for efficient commune
ity leaders was pointed out and it was
suggested that school teachers should
be made permanent parts of the COM
munities by the establishment OF
"teacherages.'
Ioday report was a preliminary
one. and it was urged that each stu
dent in the school make a survey of
his local conditions for use in the fin
al report. After the final report has
been presented a new commission will
be appointed.
Members of this years commission
are:

H. Potter, Junction City; A. M.

Your Money
The Waste Between Maker and Consumer.
~ JOHN q. o0KIooN

People are being educated to
study costs. Store managers who
are working on the old theory that
the selling cost bears no necessary
relation to the production cost hnd
that their work grows harder. A
big and dincult nut must by them
be cracked.
This Ia TO cheaper the costs OF
handling what you and I buy. One
secret OF the success OF the s and 10
cent stores Is that such of their AZ
ed charges as are represented by
salaries OF managers and buyers are
distributed over the chain" OF
stores. and that they have no local
delivery costs.
The merchant who can build up q
store on the principle that every
buyer pays cash and takes home his
purchase is securely intrenched
against the rivalry OF the credit
giving and delivery-making COM
petitor.
do not mean TO suggest that dis
tribution costs is the only factor to
be- studied by the investor In stores
securities. speak of II here as one
that Is not much talked about, but
which can not be overlooked. On
this rock more than one big store
has lately been wrecked.
The Detroit times. [volume] (Detroit, Mich.) 1903-1920, 1915-07-12

Investors who are asked TO buy
the stock and bonds of store corpor.
atoms (and such unloading Is going
on at a rapid rate among store own.
ers) ought to look carefully into one
factor before acting.
This is the delivery costs. Com
petition has grown fierce among the
great stores: the fixed charges rep
resented by high-priced ground. ex'
pensive buildings. and ever more
luxurious equipment have increased
vastly in the last few years; a
period OF contracted purchasing by
department store customers has ar
rived.
In face OF these Inevitable In
creases Of cost In doing business,
many OF the stores whose stock Is
being sold have spent more than
ever on their delivery systems. In
a morning you may see Uf you live
in a city, half a dozen wagons from
as many stores deliver packages in
one block.
Here Is absolute waste and costly
duplication OF service. Store man
ayers have not found any way TO
cut out this waste: they believe
an efficient and quick delivery ser
vice vital to their hope OF retaining
trade.

HOMELESS
SPANISH QUEEN"
is BACK AGAIN

They brought the Spanish
Queen" into police Headquarters.
Saturda, morning. registered her as
having mo home" and sent her
away again, true TO the registration.
They told her that they didn't care
where she went. as long as she
stayed away from Detroit.
Her name is Evelyn Emerson. and
she Is not Spanish. She was born
in Lockport. y. Y. but the anthori-
ties did not learn that until they
had started her for Argentine Re-
public. for deportation as q disor-
DERBY. four months ago. Then her
true story came out, and she was
released She made the mistake OF
coming back 10 Detroit. and was
"in again"
The last time the queen" arrived
in headquarters she came In a rush
OF excitement. She was full OF
champagne and soft spanish
phrases. and she wanted to embrace
all OF the detectives and policemen.
even the portly Detective Brooks.
In various cafes she had con-
sumed much wine. and had chatted
about flooding the city with forged
checks. Police nabbed her. held her
four days, but no bad checks turned
up. Then they learned that the
stunning young woman was a heroin
iend. and they decided that the
bad check" story was a dream. So
she was turned over TO the immigra-
ton officials.
She had declared that she was
born in Argentine Republic, had met
an adventurer in Cuba, and he had
brought her here. and made her a
woman OF the world. and an assist
ant in forgery crimes.
The officials sent her TO New York
for deportation. Then they learned
that she was born in Lockport; she
had once travelled through South
America with a young man with
lot OF money. and there she had
picked up her remarkable Spanish
accent and the coquettish tricks OF
the true Castilian.
So she drifted back here, Friday
night. Police heard Of II, and she
was brought In. Detective Bill
Black, OF the free lance squad, told
her TO get out, and stay out.
