Figures show that city folks eat only
about half as much pork as the farm
ers do, despite the fact that it is our
quickest, cheapest, tenderest and
most nourishing food.
The hog raiser is partly to blame.
If he produced the better kind of
pork that grows only on pure breds,
the city consumption would be much
greater. Pure-bred hogs will help the
pork business-they will make more
money for you. And you can get the
foundation for pure-bred herd right
in this community.

Jack Spratt could eat no fat. "

He evidently had sitting down job and took little
ercise. Pork especially gave him trouble, and
wonder! The farmers of Jacks day took spindle
manned, scrawny scrubs and poured corn into
them until they looked like overstuffed sofas.
But if he'd had pure-bred pork, the kind that comes
from bgtype hogs, with just the right proportion of
lean and fat making prime hams, well-streaked bacon
and delicious chops, the nursery rhyme would tell
different tale about the Spratts!

(By r. H. Williams.)

The writer had occasion one day
the past week to visit COchrane and
Dancy on official business and found
this section Of the county in a fairly
prosperous condition, although they
have suffered to certain extent from
the short cotton crop, yet some re-
port a better crop than in other sec
tions of the county. In years gone by
the prairie section surrounding these
towns produced a wonderful crop of
cotton, but since the advent of the
boil weevil, they have made several
complete failures. Since the coming
of the boil weevil they have turned
their attention to the growing of hay
and have made a success of this in-
dustry, having received the past two
years high price for the product and

again coming into its own and will

RENT

Except in the larger centers our central offices
and stocks Of material are housed in rented build
ngs and even in the larger centers rent varying
amounts Of properties.
Like every one else, our rents have been greatly
increased with no prospect Of any renduction. Even
in pre-war days all leases for property occupied by
us were renewed only at higher charges than for
the previous rental period.

of dollars every year, and we can see no prospect
of the hotels lowering their charges. Until they do

Dear Sir
Your letter of October 18th asks very natural
question and one which demands full and frank
reply, which / am glad to make.
While the prices of great many things nave,
apparently, been reduced these reductions in prices
do not apply to articles used by the telephone COM
pany, or affect the expenditures necessary in the
constructions maintenance and operation of the telc-
phone plant.
The following classes Of expenses constitute more
than ninety-ve per cent Of the cost OF furnishing
telephone service:

LABOR

More than ffty-five per cent OF the total ex-
penditures of the Company in rendering service are
for wages and salaries; less than onetenth OF one
per cent of this being for executive and general
salaries.
The wages paid to our employees cannot, and
Z should not be reduced. On the contrary they must
be increased in many cases, to bring wage scale
on level with wages paid by unregulated bust
nesses so that we may retain our skilled employees
necessary to give you efficient service.

MATERIAL AND APPARATUS.

Many items Of material and apparatus are in
yolyed in the current maintenance of the property,
entirely apart from the enormous quantities IN
volved in the construction of property, and this
represents large item of expense. There has been
no reduction. nor any indication Of reduction, in the
price of these essential articles, in practically all of
which the labor, freight and hauling cost is by far
the largest proportion of the total COST
We know that the manufacturers OF telephone
equipment and material have orders booked for two
years in advance, with constantly increasing de-
mand and which in turn makes a reduction in
price in the near future most improbable
FREIGHT AND PASSENGER COSTS.
Our annual expense for the transportation Of
freight and passengers is more than million
dollars No one expects the Railroads to reduce
their charges under the level Of costs in rendering
their service.

ELECTRIC POWER AND LIGHT
STREET CAR FARE

We spend many thousands of dollars every year
for these services rendered to employees engaged in
the maintenance of the property In the majority of
cases the rates charged by these companies have
been substantially increased and there is no thought
of any reduction. The Telephone Company, like all
Others must pay these increased rates.

PAPER. PRINTING AND STATIONERY

We consume tons of paper for bookkeeping,
correspondence and directory purposes, fand pay
many thousands of dollars for printing annually.
This item Of expense has increased in PERCENTAGE
more han the Others and has suggested
that any reduction in these costs is probable.
The Columbus dispatch. (Columbus, Miss.) 19??-1922, 1920-11-03

This expense both Federal, State, County and
City, has increased every year we have been in
business; the increase this year being unusually
high. There is probability of this expense being
reduced
We do not pay any excess profit tax because we
have earned enough to be subject to that tax
The Columbus dispatch. (Columbus, Miss.) 19??-1922, 1920-11-03
INSURANCE

Even where the actual rate per one thousand
dollars has not been increased, we are compelled to
carry larger amount of insurance than in pre-war
days in order to protect ourselves in the reproduction
of any Of the property which may be destroyed by
fire, and this is reflected in very large increase in
the total insurance bill.
