The following is a copy of an announcement which was
enclosed with all May lst Bills for telephone service:
NJ 0 business institution can continue to operate inde6-
Az nitely IT it's revenues are inadequate to meet operat-
ing expenses. This is precisely the situation that confronts
the telephone business today, a condition brought about
by increased material costs and increased living costs of
employees, necessitating substantial wage increases, and
very large increases in taxes, which has affected the tele-
phone industry the same as it has every other industry.
In the last three years commodity costs have advanced
an average of IL per cent. The average cost of wire,
cables, poles and all other materials has increased pro.
portionately. Freight charges have been advanced to a
point where they add materially to maintenance and con
struction costs. Meanwhile, telephone rates have re-
manned practically stationary.
In order, therefore, to secure revenue sufficient to cover
the cost OF rendering telephone service, it has been neces-
sary to make changes in some of the rates charged for
service. These rates are authorized and approved by the
Postmaster-G General.
Under the revision, effective May |. 1919, the class of
service which you are now receiving is billed in accordance
with the enclosed statement. If you desire information
with respect to rates on other classes of service IL will be
gladly furnished upon request, and if you desire any other
class OF service proper adj justment will be made upon your
application.
1t is hoped that you will continue the same helpful CO.
operation you have rendered in the past to the end that a
reliable and satisfactory service may be rendered you.
This Company is operating it's telephone property UNI
der the direction of the Postmaster General for the United
States Government and all of the revenues belong to the
government. and it must secure sufficient revenue to cover
the cost of rendering the service.

stated last Wednesday that the deci-
sion of the Supreme Court of United
States In declaring the migratory
bird law of 1913 invalid, UNFOLDING
the appeal from a decision of the Ar
kansas Federal District Court, is on
an old case and does not, affect the

mel, Captain, Mark, because of me-"
she said.
There's nothing to tell, my dear"
said Mark, cropping for the words that
would not come. II struck him be-
cause he"
And he could say nothing. OF Kel-
lerman's blow outside the inn, of his
false offer of friendship, of the treach-
cry that had risked three lives that
Mark might die on false errand-
nothingl And. IL he had been able to
speak, he could not have told. Yet he
was ignorant of the inhlbitory process
that now, as always, held him in
Silence.
But Eleanor clung to him. "Yes.
Captain Mark. Because he"
'He sent three of us out to rescue u
wounded man unnecessarily" said
Mark lamely.
He saw spasm pass over Howard's
face. This was worse than Howard
could have believed. The Colonel was
shaken; his faith was strong. but he
was one of those who accept the obvi-
GUS.
Listen, Captain Mark kl' said Flea
nor, speaking as IL to a baby. '"That
isn't what you wanted to say. You had
no thought of criticizlng your superior
officer, even IL you thought him wrong
That isn't what you meant. Perhaps
he'll tell me, fatherl Stand back lit
tie. Now. whisper 1t, Captain Mark !"
But in the shelter of Eleanor's arms
Mark felt altogether at peace. What
did 1t matter, all this of long ago?
"Are you going to marry Kellerman,
Elennor?" he asked.
Very softly, in the obscurity, he felt
her shake her head. And the action
had precisely the opposite effect OF
what Eleanor had intended.

Specializing Often Wins.

Many persons dol market by pai-
Gel post because they do not have
large variety of produce or because
their supply Is available only part OF
the year. While 1t is true that con-
tinuous supply Of number of products
is more satisfactory to customers, such
supply is not absolutely necessary
in order to establish parcel post
trade.
Many persons have secured custom
ers by specializing in one or two kinds
of produce, such as butter or eggs.
which can be supplied during the en-
tire year, and then these customers
have offered an outlet for other com
modities which can be furnished only
occasionally or for produce which Is
rarely to be had in city markets. In
most Of these cases 1t was necessary
only to send a letter or card to salts
fed regular customers asking them II
they wished to obtain certain kinds OF
produce that were for sale at that
time.
Such letters tend to keep up per.
sonal relationship between the pro.
ducer and his customers which makes
1t easier to keep up business relations.

ing brush or rubbish. where in most
cases water Is not available. an or
ganized neighborhood fire company
equipped with chemical cart would
be of the greatest utility.
The office of farm management OF
the United States department OF agri-
culture has for some time urged the
use OF chemical apparatus as more
effective than water against fires on
the farm, especially where kerosene.
gasoline or other oil is involved. and
as an indispensable reinforcement to
the use of water in all cases. That is
secured in the California plan together
with an even more effective thing, the
organization of the men of the com
munity In such way that they can
make their efforts almost Immediately
effective against any fire.

residents Of urban communities the
necessity Of aiding farmers In the
planting and harvesting of their crops.
"'The response to appeals along this
line was generous. In Kansas, for ex-

cially difficult. the reports indicate
that more than $4,000 workers were
supplied to farmers to assist in the
wheat harvest. The potato crop In

EAGLE ALWAYS AN EMBLEM
From Neurological Times the Monarch
of the Air Has Been Chosen as
Representative of Power.

In mythology the eagle usually rep
resents the sun. The great mythical
eagle of India, the Garuda, is the
bearer Of the god vishnu, victorious
by his brightness over all demons. In
Scandinavian mythology the eagle is a
gloomy figure, assumed by demons of
darkness or by Odin himself, con-
cealed in the gloomy night or In wind
swept clouds. The storm giant Hras-
weigr sits in the form of an eagle ut
the extremity of heaven and blows
blasts over all people and on the great
tree Yggdrasil sits an eagle observing
everything that happens. When Zeus
was preparing for his struggle with
the Titans the eagle brought him
thunderbolt, whereupon the god took
the bird for his emblem. 1t naturally
became the emblem of nations after
its long use in mythology. Ptolemy
Softer made 1t the emblem of the Egyp-
tian kingdom. In the Roman story
the eagle was the herald to Tarquinus
of his royal power, and 1t was one OF
the most important insignia of the re-
public. and was also assumed by the
emperors, and adopted into medieval
heraldry after the time of Charlie
magne.
