TELEPHONE RATES SHOW AID
VANCE SINCE JUNE IST.
Advance of Rates Due to Increase
in Operating Expenses.

The new Bay St. Louis telephone
rates became effective June 1st.
As agents for the United States
government the Cumberland Tele-
phone Company announced the new
rates to be effective May 1st, but the
company was enjoined from putting
the rates into effect and pending court
decisions the new rates have been
withheld The injunction has recent
ly been dissolved and the new rates
have been made effective from and
after June lst, 1919.
The telephone company explains
that the new rates are necessary in
order that additional revenue may be
secured to meet the increased operat-
ing expenses. When the new rates
were first announced, the postmaster
general declared that the owners of
The telephone systems would not il
any way benefit from the rat
changes practically all of the increas-
ed operating expenses Were due to
increased wages paid to employees.
1t is stated that the need for in
creased revenue is due to economic
conditions and is not the result O.

phone properties by the United State
Government. The new schedule o

AND TELLS OF THE WONDERS BY
ITALIAN SHIP BUILDER.
An Interesting and Valuable Object

For $40 Blooded Cows.

From the Jackson Clarion-Ledger
The Gulf Coast has a number of
enterprising citizens who have contri-
buted literally towards the develop
ment of this section andState, no one
occupying a more prominent position
than Henry Piaggio, a native Of Sun
ny italy, who came to this country
few years ago and engaged in the ex-
port business, being attracted by the
superior advantages of Gulfport, with
its deep water farbor.
The war seriously affected his bus
mess, as the demands Of foodstuffs
and munitions of war exceeded the
demand for lumber and naval stores,
and cut down the ship-carrying eapae-
ity- enormously, so much SO that Mr..
Piaggio and associates-backed by
ample capital from Italy-decided to
engage in ship-building, and his cor
poration, the International Ship
Building Co, Of which he is presi-
dent, established yards and plants and
began the building of ships at Pasca-
goula and Orange, Texas, upon the
United States declaring war with Ger
many. Being gentleman of wealth,
and refinement, he sought opportun-
ity to crafty his taste, and that he
might have hunting and fishing pre-
serve, a place in which to retire to
and rest when worn out with the in
cessant grind of business and routine
work, he looked around and decided
to buy what was known as the Spence
property on Arcadia Bayou, north of
Pass Christian, and abutting on Wolf
River and Bayou Potage. 1t was an
attractive old home, built before the
war by F. f. Hews, for many years
