Gardening.

One of the popular forms of fiction
at this season is the seed catalogue IL
Illuminated with pictures of carrots, cab
bagc and tomatoes. which represent the
imagination of an artist rather than
the fruits of the soil. But whether
such gigantic caulifowcrs, long and
plump cucumbers and rotund melons
ever existed in real life or ever could
exist in an amateurs garden, great
numbers of hopeful people are study
ing the pictures To every gardener
who spades up the back lot, lays out
the rows, strikes up the seed bed and
sets out the plants The Star extends

never despair and hopes that industry
will yield bushels of the best vege-
tables ever grown, and there is no
doubt that the vegetables man grows
himself, provided he is an amateur,
are the best ever. And here's hoping
that the amateur gardener may not
suffer too poignantly from lame back,
blistered hands and sunburnt neck and
that grubs, army worms, cut worms,
wire worms and the neighbors' chick

Telephone Rate Increases.

In announcing at this time that it
Washington May l the Chesapeake and
Potomac Telephone Company is taking
advantage of the people when they are
unprotected by the Public Utilities
Commission, created by Congress to
safeguard them against unjust charges
by public service corporations. The
telephone wires are under government
control. The Public Utilities Commits
sion, therefore, may not be able to halt
the proposed increases in rates in or
der to consider and determine whether
or not they are equitable.
But the government control of the
wires is temporary. 1t cannot under
the law extend beyond the proclamation
of peace by the President. And Con-
gress, which will convene next month,
plans to take the control of the wires
from the government and return these
| properties to the owners Immediately,
without waiting for the peace procla-
| nation.
The action of the telephone company
has the effect Of boosting prices while
the local commission may not perhaps
interfere. The telephone company was
seeking to obtain from the Public
Utilities Commission the privilege of
increasing its rates at the time the
government took over control of the
wires last August. No decision had
been made in the matter by the com
mission.
The statement issued by the COM
pany makes the plea that the govern
ment, not the company, needs the
money to be derived from increased
rates. The company is paying its regu-
lar dividends and interest on its bonds,
under the guarantee 6f the govern
ment. Now as the government is to
have control perhaps for only a few
| months longer, it does not appear that
the government is vitally interested in
the matter.
In other respects, the company's
statement that the increases are nee
essary is indefinite. There are no fig
ures given showing what the increases
in cost of operation are, nor what the
deficit in the conduct of the business
under government control has been.
But the company is very definite in its
proposed increase in rates. The home
owner or renter must pay 25 per
cent increase for his telephone if he
has unlimited service, and a 16.e per
cent increase if he has limited service.
To the uninitiated, these increases ap-
pear very large and should yield a
large return.
The suspicion arises and will not
down that the company is seeking to
increase rates now in the belief that
once raised they will continue un-
| changed after the wires have been re-
turned to the company by the govern
| ment; that it is easier to hold a rate
once raised than it is to obtain an in
crease from the local commission.

1t was not long ago that the flying
machine was an impossibility. Then
it became reality. The machines
came to be made by thousands for war

this or that use of the plane is sug-

At present all these bridges carrying

The expressed desire of the Maryland
legislature and the evident desire of
the West Virginia legislature is that
they shall become free bridges. The
toll bridge is hindrance to travel and
is as far out of date as the toll road.
