tained and the company at the
same time make a moderate pro-
fit, then we are in favor of them
being granted the right to raise
the rates. DR.. LindaS has stated
that he will be glad to meet with
any of the phone patrons and ex-
plain the proposition thoroughly,
and if anyone feels that the COM
pany is asking too much by peti-
tioning for this increase, they
should at least take advantage of
the company'S fairness and hear
their side of the question.

Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Moore came
down from the farm near Spear
vile last week to spend the Christ
mas holidays visiting with home
folks, the Fred Moore and Will
Rogers families, of the south side.
Frank reports that he had an ex-
cellent wheat crop the past year,
and he is lucky in the fact that
he held to most of his crop and
is going to realize a big price. He
had out about 400 acres and it
made an average of 25 bushels
to the acre. 125 acres of this was
volunteer, but it yielded about
as much as the crop that had been
put in in good shape. He had Is
acres which he fenced off by itself
and used for pasture until the first
day of June when the stock was
taken off, and just to see what the
yield would be, he cut and stack
ed this patch by itself and it
threShed out "A bushels to the
acre. Taken altogether he pas
tured his wheat over SevenmonthS
which meant a saving of several
hundred dollars in feed bills, and
with the price at which wheat is
now selling he is going to make
a handsome profit off his crop.
He has about 400 acres out again
this year and reports that it is
looking fine, although consider
ably smaller that at this time last
year. but believes that the chances
are all right for another GOOD
