TELEPHONE AND TEL

 ASK RETURN OF WIRES.

Washington D. C.May 19, 1919. To the Members
 of the Senate
 and House of
 Representatives =
 On midnight, July 31st, 1918 under the authority of Congress for war purposes, the President took supreme possession and control of the operating of the telephone systems of the country and has since operated them.
 The war practically ceased and the public press Is strongly demanding the general publiea- tion and the owners of the tel ephone property are urging that they be restored and more satisfactory service be afforded.
 The President and the Post master General have announc- ed that this will be done as soon as adequate arrangements are provided for receiving and ad- vantageously operating them. It remains only for Congress to enact such Legislation as speed fly as possible.
 The expense of these systems have largely increased during the past year, for wages alone at the rate of more than $20, 100000 per annum. This was inevitable and necessary by reason of large proportionate increases by the railroads and other industries of the country. The revenues are inadequate to take care of the increase and the the deficit of the govern- ment on that account to date is largely and steadily increasing.
 The Postmaster General orders that steps be taken to secure adequate revenues, but contingent with regular author ities of the states not yet settl- ed have prevented such adjust ments.
 If the conditions continue, necessarily the credit of the operating companies will be impaired, proper expenses can not be retained, needed exten- sions and satisfactory service can not be provided and de- terioration will ensue, which in some localities may threaten a recurrence to public ownership or operating in order to care even inadequately for public needs, by prompt action Con- gress can prevent this contin- nancy.
 Just and speedy settlements should be made for all prop critics taken under the existing law that such balances now in the possession of the Govern ment may be restored to assist in the up-building and extension of the various systems for bet ter public uses.
 The conditions and regulari- ties of operating should be clear ly defined so as to permit the companies to re-establish and maintain a satisfactory service with reasonable rates without discrimination and procure the benefit of legitimate competition. ! The principal operating Com

BACCALAUREATE SER MON FOR HIGH SCHOOL
 LAST SUNDAY.
Preached By The Rev. MT. Sipes At The Baptist Church To Large Audience.

1 ful to the delight of High school pupils and patrons.
 The large auditorium of the Baptist church was artistically decorated with basquets of roses and with profusion Of palms and ferns. In this de- Ihghtful setting surrounded by friends, patrons and teachers with the sweet strains of the orchestra and Choral Club rem dering, Praise Ye the Father" the members of the graduating class of 1919 of the Monticello High school marched down the aisle and heard the baccalaure- ate sermon preached by the Rev. L. M. Sipes, pastor of the First Baptist church Of Conway. The class marched down the main aisles headed by Miss Wilma Dickey and Miss Virginia Slem= ons. The young men were handsomely groomed and the ladies looked very youthful in their dresses of various shades and materials.
 The peWs for the graduates were reserved with streamer5 green and gold, the class colors.
 The choir, composed of mixed voices from every church in the city sang an anthem, Mrs. o. A. Wisker and MT. Stout singing special parts. The Rev. Rich mond Twitty read a brief scrip ture and the Rev. MT. Sipes de- livered an impressive sermon, dealing in flowery illusions and filled with inspiring thoughts for the 27 graduates who were at the parting Of the ways. After hearty congratulations and words of commendation Rev. Sipes eloquently discoursed on the subject, 'So Run that Ye May Attain. He showed that success in vocation did not al- ways mean success in life and that often life's greatest sue cesses were those who had failed to attain worldly honor. With graffic illustrations from the race track he told how the game of life might be lost in the last lap. The three steps upward rep resented by, physical fitness mental efficiency, and spiritual direction and power were beau tifully pictured with the crown ing wreath of victory or lover the top with flying colors.o He closed with a warning that the young ladies and young men take life seriously and that they remember that no life was com plete without the spiritual as- set.
 The appropriateness of the Rev. MT. Sipes' address, his magnetic presentation and his address at large was highly ap- preciated and lauded by the class and audience who far surpassed the seating capacity, the rear of the church being filled with many listeners who were unable to obtain seats.
 The High school teachers and parents occupied seats in front of the graduates.
 The occasion was a momen- tous one to especially the grad uates who have looked forward since the beginning of their school career to this impressive service, and indeed the picture will be bright one tosthem in after years as they look back on the ideal May morning; the choir and orchestra's divine music; Rev. Sipes' inspiring sermon and the coterie of friends who completely filled the aud itorium to hear the eulogies and to inspire them as they were about to leave their task in high school and take greater responsibilities to trod the path way of life.
