3,4s2,s ,s63 Gallons of Beer Made in
August. ...

Jefferson City, Mo-, August 3o.-
The report of State Beverage Inspec-
tor Thomas Speed Mosby to Gov.
Gardner today shows that during this
month 3,4s2,563 gallons of beer were
brewed and the state inspection tax,
$21,7I7.S9 paid. During the same
period 1,874,o33 gallons of soft drinks
were manufactured, inspected and
fees aggregating $28,I24 paid. The
inspection tax on beer is 19 I-2 cents
per barrel of thirty-one gallons,
while the tax on soft drinks is 1-2
cents per gallon.
During the early part of July and,
in fact, most of that month, the quan-
tity of beer manufactured was small
compared with the quantity of soft
drinks, mostly substitutes for beer.
As the brewers and saloon keepers
recovered their nerve slowly beer
commenced gaining on soft drinks,
until now more than double the guam
tity of beer is brewed and sold in
comparison with soft drinks.

TELEPHONE. RATE ---3AR1No
Judge Lindsay of the Public Utilities
Commission Hears Evidence for
and Against the Proposed
Change in Rates. /,

Some time ago F. NJ. Campbell,
manager of the Butler and Rich Hill
telephone Exchange filed with the
public utilities commission a new
rate schedule for the lines controlled
by the company in Bates county and
asked an order from the commission
putting the new rates into effect. On
behalf of the patrons protest was
filed and a hearing on the matter was
held in this city. At that time the
telephone company was ordered to
put in improvements in the plant to
the extent of about $500, when an
other hearing would be held. Last
Thursday, Mr.. Campbell claiming
that he had complied with the re-
quirements of the commission, an
other hearing was commenced with
Judge Lindsay representing the conf
mission.
The telephone company was rep
resented by Silvers & Silvers, of this
city, and J. R, Hales of Rich Hill.
The rural telephones, were represent
ed by Hon. H: o. Maxey and w: O..
Jackson, of this city. and N. B. Con-
rad, of Montrose. Judge J. F. Smith
represented the city of Butler.>
Several citizens Of Butler and tele-
phone subscribers testified. the ma
jority of them saying that the service
was very inferior. Patrons and Of
ficers Of the Peru-Pleasant Gap, Vir-
ginia; Mutual telephone company, the
Austin Inland telephone company
and other rural lines testified. The
Spruce operator testified that she had
received orders never to let call
from Johnstown through her board.
DR.. Fletcher, of Spruce, testified that
he had had considerable trouble as 4
result OF the poor service. Some
complained that they would have
trouble getting a number, central tel
ling them that the number was busy
when they would find later that the
number called had not been busy:
The company claimed that much of
the trouble with the country lines
was the poor condition of the lines
that were owned by the rural COM
panies. This was disputed by the Of
ficers Of the lines. The city officers
claimed that central had been negli.,
gent in the matter of fire alarms and
one fire was entirely ignored by. the
girls on duty. Miss Lulu Warford,

bookkeeper for the company; Maude
Lowrey, operator, David Grubbs,
lineman, and Howard Campbell tes-
titled as to the good condition of the
plant, the efficiency of the employees
and the good service furnished by
the company.
The matter of rates for the rural
lines coming into Butler and Rich
Mill was thoroughly gone into and
the commissioner will make a ruling
as to what is fair price for that SER
vice.
The ruling of the commission on
the various matters in connection
with. the new schedule of rates and
charges for service to the rural lines
will be announced at later date.
