CONDITION OF CROPS

Light rains throughout Montgom-
cry county at different intervals last
week have proved of immense benefit
to all growing crops, grass and to-
bacco beds being especially helped
Many growers of tobacco have good
plants from beds that were rolled
when first sown and then packed
down after the freezes, but other
beds that we're left with the soil
loose are lacking in plants and seed
IN the soil has been materially dam
aged. Preparations continue here
Tor a large acreage of the weed
possibly an increase over last sea-
son. Much ground has already beer
made ready and some growers con-
template setting out by May IS OF
sooner.
Corn planting time is here, and
all indications point to a very large
acreage. There has been some corr
planting done, but most of the rails
ers are waiting until in May before
putting the seed in the earth. A
great deal Of foreign seed corn is
being used in this county this
season, and farmers say that they
are going not only to try and in
crease the amount grown per acre
but to improve the property as well
There has not been a time in recent
years that enough corn has been

WHAT 1T ALL MEANS you
want to get the real meaning of this
telephone scrap, bear these facts in
mind:
A bunch of wise guys wanted
franchise that would give them the
right to build a system of freight tun-
nels under the business section of
Chicago.
They didn't want council or the
public to know what they we're after.
So they called themselves the Illinois
Telephone & Telegraph Co. and made
application for a phone franchise,
which gave them the right to build
conduits under the streets. And they
started in to build cOnduits big
enough for cars.
Then they got their franchise
amended for tunnels.
In order to get their first franchise
they led the people to believe they
would give phone competition and
some relief from rotten service To
protect the city, council provided that
if they didn't get 10000 bOnafide sub
scribers by a certain date, or sold out
or agreed to sell out to another phone
company (meaning, of course, the
BeI), their franchise and plant would
be forfeited to the city.
They got their tunnel, and didn't
get their 10000 bonafide subscribers,
although they had better phone
than the one used by the trust.
Then they agreed to sell to the
trust for $6,3OO,OOO, which would let
them out Of the telephone business

wanted IN Ln6 uISL pldC6-d ISlSuC.
tunnel system.
Now they want the city to waive its
rights and not insist on forfeiture Of
phone franchise and plant, even if .
they did fail to live up to their agree
ment.
Not only that, but they want cOun-
Gil to give permission for them to
sell out and gatrer in that $6,30O,O00,
although they know the subscribers
of the phone trust will have to pay
the $6,3OO,O0O in increased rates; be-
cause the trust will have the right
to add the $6,3OO,OOO to its capitaliza-
ton and charge rates that will pay in
terest on that money.
So what these promoters are ask
ing is that council consent to max
ing Chicago telephone users pay &c.
100000 for a telephone plant that viii
be thrown on the junkpile as soon as
it is bought.
The trust makes no pretense that
it will operate the Automatic plant.
It doesn't deny that the plant will go
to the junkpile as soon as it is
DOuSuL.
So, if the deal goes through, no
body gets anything but the tunnel
company and the phone trust. The
tunnel company gets $6,3OO,O00 and
the phone trust gets a possible COM
petitOr out Of the way and an absO-
lutte phone monopoly IN Chicago.
Can YOU see any reason on earth
why any alderman should vote to per-
NIT the sale. or refuse to vote to start
forfeiture proceedings, UNLESS
THERE IS SOMETHING IN IT FOR
THAT ALDERMAN?
Why not take over the Automatic
plant and build it up as a Chicago
phone system, owned and operated
by the people for their own benefit,
with a good chance to bring excellent
phone service down to a cent a call
