LOCAL AND LONG DISTANCE
Henry Burton. Mgr. and Prop.

Columbus. n NJ June 30, 1919 :
Mr.. Telephone Patron. Columbus. y. NJ. :
Dear Friend: Owing to the remarkable advance IN y
the cost Of all material and labor required In the operation \
Of the telephone plant II Is necessary to rcadjust the rates \
for service. on and after July isL the rate for private \
line business service will be 81 per month; for private line :
residence service, 81, and party line residence service, 81 \
This is not really a raise in rates. II Is only a readjust- \
ment 10 compensate for the decreased value Of money. !
Four dollars today are worth only about what q were !
when the present rates were established. For instance, ;
note some OF the costs then and now; :
Wire. then. &c per pound; now, Zoe per pound. !
Battery cells. then zoe each; now, SOC each. !
Telephones, then. $1,000 each; now, 5000 each. !
Operators then, 5000 per month; now, $50 per month. I
Lnemen, then, $500 per day; now $500 per day. .
In the past the rates have been barely adequate to ,
meet operating expenses aud have not allowed anything for y,
depreciation, or extensions. Now the demand for service
Is expanding so rapidly it is absolutely imperative that the .
capacity Of the plant be greatly increased and improved. )
hope TO install a model, up-to-date plan; here and give
service the equal Of any in the world, ana TO do this |
must secure the necessary capital. and 10 interest capital I
must have rates that will show a reasonable expectation Of
profits. 4.
This is in line with the readjustment Of rates all over
the United states and is authorized by the Postofnce De
partment
Respectfully,
HENRY BURTON.

RAIN AND "SPUDS"
INTERFERE WITH
TREASURE HUNT
Six Intrepid Adventures Brave
Rain; Two Successful

The rain of Saturday dampened
somewhat the ardor of the ventur-
some spirits among the youth of
the town who had signed up for
the Treasure Hunt" given under
the auspices of the Y. M. C. A.
And the lure Of golden treasure to
be found in J. F. Richards potato
patch proved a counter attraction
for some mundance spirits towhose
imaginations hidden treasure
meant little and picking "spuds"
for real money meant much. Six
intrepid adventurers out of 80
who had signed up were, however
undaunted by any condition of
weather or materialistic attraction
and two of these John Cunningham
and Herman Messick were reward
ed by the finding of membership
tickets tucked away in a romantic
spot in Park Place.

Head Of Agricul-
tural Department
to Leave Says Report
Dean Hayward to Resign Position
Soon
Has International Reputation as
Educational Expert

According to report published
in last nights Evening Journal,
Dean Harry Hayward will probab-
ly resign in the near future.
Dean Hayward would make no
statement regarding the report. A
friend who made inquiry at this
office this morning made the fol-
lowing statement with regard to
the matter:
"Consternation and sincere re-
gret are felt throughout the State
as the news comes through unoffi-
cial channels that Dean Harry Hay
ward, head of the Agricultural De-
partment of Delaware College is to
resign his position and leave the
state.
Dean Hayward came to Della
ware about IL years ago and by
his initiative and peculiar quail
ties of leadership created a depart
ment of agriculture second to none
in the United States. His ability
as an expert in Agricultural edu-
cation has been recognized re-
peatedly by the Federal depart
ment and by leaders in this field
throughout the United States.
His thorough knowledge of agri-
cultural problems has been of in
calcuable value to the farmers of
the State, in the interest of whose
welfare he has worked tirelessly
and unselfishly during his resid-
ence in the State. His services
were always at the command Of
oranges, schools and local gather
ings where no interest or prob
lem was too small to receive his
personal attention and command
his instant assistance.
His interest in local matters af-
fecting the church, the school or
the club was keen and sympathetic.
A tribute to his ability as an
expert in Agricultural Education,
was paid by the government a
year ago when he was chosen one
of 7 men from this country to
,serve as regional directors of this
, work centered in the American
2 University at Beaune under the
, auspices of the Y. M. C. A. In
6 recognition of the excellent service
rendered there he was twice dec,
Grated by the French government
