NEW PHONE RATES
ARE PUZZLE TO ALL

They forgot to advance the teie-
phone rates during the war, so they
are going to make up for lost time
unless someone enjoins the company
from carrying the new rates into eff
feet, similar action having been tax
en- in many other states. The en-
ployees of the telephone company are
just as much sup in the air" over the
changes as the public, because it
makes a great deal more work FOR
them. If you want to stay up until
after midnight, you can. talk to a
party in New Orleans FOR 20 cents,
providing you know his phone num-
Der and he answers the phone, but if
his cook happens to answer the phone
you will have to talk to her. If you
call party and You do not get the
party you ask for there viii be a
"'service" charge of % per cent OF
the rate to the point where you
called. There are many other changes
which went into effect and the only
consolation we can see in the changes
is that if there is any important BUSH
ness you desire to take up with Pres
ident Wilson, you can talk TO him
between midnight and 1850 a. m. for
about $1.35, providing, of course,
that you know his phone number. 30
give you a new idea of the rates, the
following prices for service are
given.
Franklinton-Old rate, 20 cents /;
new rate, call number of phone, 20
cents, to get party you want 25 cents.
