work to stop? If not how much do
you want it to go on? Do you want
this work enlarged? If so how anx-
ious are you to see it enlarged? The
extent OF which you support the
Home Service Campaign viii be your
answer.

Phone Rates Are Increased
Government Order Raises Rental to
Enable Company to Meet Expenses

Enable Company to Meet Expenses
Postmaster General Burleson has
ordered an increase in the phone rates
: of the United Telephone exchanges,
including this city. This was done
on the monthly reports of the Com
pany made to the government which
showed that owing to the increased
cost of wages and material the Com
pany was not receiving enough at the
old rates to meet the expenses. The
new rates will be in effect from June
1st and continue as long as the gov
eminent maintains control. The
company had appealed to the State
Public Utility Commission for the
same increases but that appeal is yet
under consideration.
The new rates are announced in
another column and will be seen to
be small compared with the increased
cost of everything that the subscrib-
er has to purchase and the price the
farmer, laborer and professional men
receives for products or service COM
pared with four years ago.
In the aggregate it will enable the
Company to pay its employees ad-
equate salaries and maintain the ser
vice to its high standard. The Gov
eminent order states that it is made
because of the need of making the in
come equal the necessary expense,
without which it is impossible for any
business to keep going and give ser
vice.-Adv.

The Rust Situation

j. A. Clark, in charge of western
wheat investigation, for the United
States Department of Agriculture,
who recently visited the Fort Hays
Experiment Station on a wheat in
spection trip has estimated the
amount of wheat rust infestation to
be between 40 and so per cent This
estimate was made on fields seeded to
the common Turkey varieties. Far
mers who are growing Kanred wheat
need not worry greatly since Mr..
Clark estimates that approximately
only 5 per cent of this variety shows
rust infestation. The rust in wheat
this year will no doubt reduce the
wheat yield but how much will be
impossible to estimated, but it is be-
leved that the danger is over estimat-
ed. The reduction of yield in Kanred
wheat will probably not be notice
able.

Rehabilitation of Palestine.

Philadelphia Public Ledger: 1t Is
a graf mistake to regard Palestine
as arid or unfit for large popula-
ton. It is artificially arid, much as
the war-swept belt in France is to-
day. But human effort can soon
cause it to blossom once more as
the rose; to grow again the luscious
grapes that proved It's worth to the
children OF Israel, and to fatten into
q land flowing with milk and Money.
The British army broke the CEN
turies-long drouth Of Jerusalem in q
few days and brought that city
plenty of pure water from the pools
of Solomon and other ncIghboring
springs. Wherever the Jewish or
German colonists have cultivated the
land near Jaffa, Haifa or elsewhere
they have found it fertile and pro-
ductive. Even the hills OF Judel can
be terraced again for the vine, the
fig and the olive tree.

Pilots and CAPTAINS.

the question, What if anything pre-
vented you from seeing the hole be-
tween the islands, to which he
answered: Tt was hazy, kind of a
smoke rather: you could not see the
stern light behind you: but Won
couldn't see clear through. that was
| the reason I would not tase the boat

| Brown was the mate who tool, tho

this ferry channel. and I may say
that it has been established bv the
evidence that he went out of the
channel one hundred and fifty feet
ana struck snag or one of these
| stumps left by the power company on
the upper end Of Dundy island within
snort distance of where the Dixie
sunk.
"a pilot has peculiar responsible
ties; so has captain. The captain
is the man who has control of the
boat, the mate is the man who acts
in place of captain when the captain
is off watch; he has charge of the
boat when the captain is on watch:

boat but that authority ceases the
moment the pilot tabses the wheel
and the boat starts on its trip on the
water-the pilot then becomes the
supreme dictator, and certain wei
defined duties devolve upon him
One of these duties is that provided
by the revised statutes of the United
States, section 4487, as follows: 'On

Now the facts in this case, for the
purpose of determining this motion,
must be taken as undisputed. me
defendant, the Mississippi River
Power company, had authority from
! the government of the United States
to build this dam; the building or
the dam would necessarily raise the
water of the river above the dam.

Mississippi Power company cleared

"At this time there was but one OF
| these channels marked by bouys, and
that was the one running south from
Montrose around the southern point

| river or lake. The ferry channel was
not marked by any bouys On the
morning of May IL, 1915, about the
hour of o'clock in the morning the
boat Dixie was taken from the land
