that II costs a given amount OF money
to operate the whole property, 1t is
accordingly true that every call costs
a certain definite sum, although In
some instances this Is hard to arrive
at. However, 1t has been definitely
established that It costs considerably
more than twice as much to put a
call through two different exchanges
than 1t does to handle a call through
one individual exchange. It Is also
we'll established truth that because
certain individual uses the long.
distance service i'm his business that
the theory of the flat rate does not
afford justice or fairness to the indi
vidual who has not use for the lons
distance service. In short it has ap
peared to the management and the
board of directors that it is a simple
and fair business principle to so re5
ulate the rates as to the cost on thu
subscriber who uses that particula
class OF service"
1t is the intention Of the Mt. Ver
non Telephone company to folloy
this article with some other article
which it hopes will properly inforr
the general public, as well as its sui
scribers, what it considers the res
situation is.

In view of the fact that it has been
suggested to the officials of the Mt.
Vernon Telephone Co. on different oc-
casions by various individuals and
committees who have met with them,
that the contemplated service charge
be more fully discussed and given to
the general public than was done in
the letter to it's subscribers, the Mt.
Vernon Telephone Co. has authorized
the following statement:
"The operation OF a telephone sys-

it has only one thing to offer to the

various devices, which are to a cer-
tain degree highly automatic. it is
nevertheless necessary to have the
personal attention of at least three
parties to successfully complete any
one call.
Further when it is understood that
the Mt. Vernon Telephone Co. han.
dies daily at least 10000 calls, and
at certain periods of the year these
calls reach a peak load of approx.

its subscribers the best of service al
the least possible cost. 1t may be
further stated that every cent of rev

"B attlinu Jane"

Battling Jane"
In a little village i'm a Mine a Thrift
Stamp drive is in full progress when
Jane rides into town on a bicycle.
She is from nowhere and going in
the same direction. A tire puncture
fuses her to halt on her journey and
make repairs. She overhears Dr..
Sheldon quarreling with his wife. The
upshot of this is that the worthless
doctor leaves her flat. Mrs. Sheldon
faints and Jane assists her into the
house, there TO be greeted by Baby
Sheldon. Soon afterwards Mrs. Shell
don dies and there is nothing for Jane
to do but to stay on and take charge
of the infants welfare.
To make ends meet Jane goes to
work in the town restaurant and it
is in this capacity that she is first
dubbed The Battler'. When a the
atrical troupe comes to town Jane
encounters Wilbur, one of the actors
and a bit of romance comes into her
life. However, her time is largely
occupied with the Sheldon baby. a
feature of the Thrift Stamp drive is
a baby show and, with all the other
infants of the town, James young
charge is entered for the prize-and
he wins it. Jane discovers herself
the possessor of five hundred dollars
as a result.
When DR.. Sheldon hears of this he
makes all haste to return to the Will
age and claim the money. He en-
counters Jane, however, who drives
him away with a gun. He goes for
the sheriff. Jane sees them approach.

shack. But the baby is suddenly
taken violently i'll. Realizing thai
Sheldon is a doctor, Jane makes him
tend the baby's needs at the point
of the gun. He again tries to get the
money but detectives are summoned
and carry him away.
Jane, TO insure the little ones fu
ture, invests the five hundred in
stamps and as a result the town goe:
over the top in its drive.

Honolulu To New YORK Race Is On
The S. S. West Cavanal sailed from
Kahului Monday night at $50 p. M.
with a cargo of sugar direct for New
York via the Panama canal. She took
GAS tons from Kahului and 1900 tons
from Honolulu. The West Cavanal
made a record for loading at Kahu-
lui, getting all her cargo in three
days.
The captain and chief engineer OF
the speedy shipping board boat as
well as their friends in Kahului feel
that this gives the West Cavanal a
good chance at winning the race to
New York now on between three OF
the finest OF the shipping board
steamer. The three steamers arrived
West Alcoz, West Cavanal and Chip
chung from San Francisco about the
same time. The West AlcOz loaded
at Kaanapali, and it is expected was
the first to get away in the race, but
the West Cavanal crew is sur they
will beat her out and give her three
days start at that, for the boat on
this, her maiden voyage, made the
run from San Francisco in 7h days.
The Chipchung it was expected would
get away from Hilo by the 18th, and
when the three boats land in New
York they will bring in altogether
$4,000 tons of Hawaiian sugar. There
is considerable interest in shipping
circles over this race, which smaclis
of old time seafaring tales.
