PHONE COMPANIES WANT
HIGH RATES CONTINUED
-.
Public Service Board Replies They
Have Been Formally AC-
cepted Here.

That the telephone companies of
the country are asking congress to
return the lines to private ownership
on June 80 and are now facing crises
unless assured that increased rates
established under government control
shall not be changed for one year
thereafter. unless found unjust after
investigation and hearing by state
commissions, is the substance of tele-
graphed notifications, received by the
public service commission Monday
from Theodore N. Vail, president of
the American Telephone & Telegraph
company, and F.. B. McKinnon, head
of the United States Independent Tel
ephOne association.
| They concede restoration of state
commission Jurisdiction over tele-
phone regulation and are apparently
sounding all such commissions to dis
cover whether an effort will be made
/ to automatically restore rates in va
rious states that existed before the
government took control.
In reply the Washington commits
sion holds that no action of congress
in returning the companies will affect
the Burleson rates. already approved
that they will continue until re-es-
tablished by the commission, and that
the same attitude would be taken to-
ward toll rates established by federal
order.

TODAY'S AID TO BEAUTY

Hair Is by far the most conspic-
uous thing about US and is proba-
blv the most easily damaged BY
bad or careless treatment. It we
arc very careful in hair washing,
we will have virtually no hair
troubles. An especially fine sham
poo for this weather, one that
brings out all the natural beauty
OF the hair; that dissolves and en-
tlrely removes all dandruff, excess
oil and dirt; can easily be used at
trifllng expense by simply dissolv-
ing a teaspoonful of canthrox
(Which you can get at any drug
giSt's) in cup Of hot water. This
makes a full cup Of shampoo
liquid-enough so it is easv to
apply it to all the hair instead OF
just the top of the head. This
chemically dissolveS all impurities
and creates a soothing, cooling
lather. Rinsing leaves the scalp
sPotlessly clean, soft and plant.
while the hair takes on the glossy
richness Of natural color, also a
fluffiness which makes it seem
much heavier than it is. After a
canthrox shampoo, arranging the
hair IS a pleasure.-Adv.

CALLS SIBERIAN
POLICY "BUNK"
Fuller States Reasons for
Keeping Soldiers There
Are Withheld.

The administrator reasons for
keeping American troops in Siberia
are all bunk" declared Representa-
tive Fuller. Republican, of Massa-
chusetts, at a hearing before the
House Military Affairs Committee yes
terday.
Mr.. Fuller engaged in a lively tilt
with Secretary Baker after the latter
had outlined conditions in Siberia as
seen from the administ j Il view
point and suggested that withdrawal
Of the allied expedition might result
in the former German and Austrian
war prisoners gaining the upper hand.
The Secretary was called before the
committee to testify in connection
with a resolution by Representative
Mason. Republican, Of Illinois, provid-
ing for the immediate withdrawal OF
American troops from all foreign
lands
After detailing the history OF the
Siberian situation, Secretary Baker
said:
The armistice is an armed truce
Peace has not been declared. While
this armed truce exists war cannot be
sald to De over. and the allies could
not allow disorders to grow up on the
rfu-r Of the theater OF war that
might threaten new war. The Amer
ems are not participating for or
against Admiral kOlchak or the Bol-
sheviki Their orders are to guard the
railroad"
Those reasons are all bunk said
Mr.. Fuller. whose plain intimauon
was that the real reasons behind the
administration Siberian policy were
being withheld

Night after night. Mrs, Henley told

military career. He has never said
so to anyone, but who knows? The
old captain was a splendid type of
the old soldier, and no one kowing
John Pershing can doubt but what
the veterans stories stirred the
young teacher deeply.
There was a humorous side, too,
to what Mrs. Henley said.

the morning. ! asked her.
Eight or 9 o'clock" she replied.
But you know Prairie Mound is q

him twice. But IL he didn't get up.

OF THE BOYHOOD DAYS
OF THE FAMOUS GENERAL
BY HAROLD r. WHEELER

CONTINUED FROM YESTERDAY.

CONTINUED FROM YESTERDAY.
Then John asked my father for a
letter Of recommendation to Captain
Samuel A. Henley, head of the Prai-
rie Mound School Board. NJ father
gave it to him In fact father had
already spoken to Captain Henley
about John.
Bright and early next morning
John appeared in a buggy. He was
ready to drive over. He was dressed
in his best clothes and he had on a
pair of brand new gloves.
Better put those under the seat
when you get half a mile from the
captains house. father said TO John,
referring to the new gloves.
Joan asked why, and father told
him that the captain was an odd man
and loathed kid gloves. Father said
the captain 50 abhorred them that
he would not take kindly to any
young man who wore them.
All right said John. And he
suited his action to his words.
Now the funny part of his story is
that another young man. a young
man from Brookfield-the town You're
in now-was seeking the same posi-
tion. John-of course, he told me all
about it afterwards-reached Captain
Henley's house and found that the
Brookfield young man had already
called. John was fearful. afraid ne
had come too late.
But the captain greeted him pleas
antly and invited him into the living
room and asked him to be seated. The
captain seemed to like John from the
e.
minutes when the captain declared he
would like to have John come to the
school at Prairie Mound

said. and I'll tell the other members

teacher. You know il was the cap
tain still speaking. another yoTny
fellow was over here from BrookfieId
this morning to see me. but all the
time he sat talking he kept fondiing

he thought of the gloves out under

to the captain about them. and a few
days later he was selected for the po-
sition."
Mr.. Spurgeon secured a teachers
position himself fCw days later in
a school quite near Prairie Mound.
He and John taught one term be-
fore going to KirksviIle. and dur
ing that term they would return
over Sundays to their homes in

Friday afternoons and going back
on Sunday afternoons. They travel

whose horse was not afraid to

ahead. Then John threw the bride

legs up under him. kneeling on the
saddle and steadying himself by
holding to his horses neck. The
