 An order was made yesterday for granting fthe Citizens Telephone Company an increase from s1.25 to S1.50 per month and charge of $3 for service connections, at Bar ling, Lacava and Jenny Lind.
 The Commissions conclusions q are as follows: "The operating expenses for the past year were shown in the testimony to have been $6,537. Sub tract from the yearly revenue of $7,885 the operating expenses and there is left S1, ,31S for interest on investment and depreciation. There is 9.96 per cent of the valuation, S13,200. Subtracting from this 6hs per cent for deterioration and there is left for the interest on the investment 3.46 per cent. The Commission does not deem this un- reasonable and therefore concludes that the increased rates should be permitted to go into effect.

LIVES WITH BROKEN NECK
Indiana Farmer Under Treatment
 to Mend Vertebrae.

Lafayette, Ind.-Larson Stingley, 23, a farmer of Clarkshill, is a prisoner in brace which confines his head and chest while he under goes an experiment for the mending of broken vertebrae.
 Stingley was injured in runaway accident last November and for weeks he went about as usual un- aware that his neck was broken, although one arm and hand had been paralyzed since the accident. He came here for treatment and an X-ray picture showed that verte- brae was fractured. Physicians at- tributed his ability to live to the fact that through some freak the spinal cord had not been severed.
 In an effort to, restore him to normal an unusual operation was attempted. A piece of bone was taken from his leg and grafted in the fractured bone. The cast was placed about him and he will have to remain in the one position for about six months before it can be determined whether the operation is success.

INNOCENT INCOME TAX
That Paid by Detroit Man Sets Rec.
 ord for the Year.

Detroit, Mich.-A quaintly dress ed individual who strolled into the office of John A. Grogan, internal revenue collector, found that instead of being costly luxuries, his wife and children furnished him "pat hand'' to beat the game of the income tax collector.
 He stood in line to have his in- come tax computed, and was then directed to the cashier.
 How is this paid?" questioned the man.
 The cashier, Harry Pizula, who is known about the office for his wit, responded: "You may pay it in quarterly installments or all at once."
 The amount to be paid after ex- emptions was the staggering sum of two-cents-which wins the prize for the smallest tax paid this year.

DO NOT PLANT MEADE
 COTTON SAYS WEICERT

Farmers who are planning to plant Meads cotton in Arkansas are mak. ing serious mistake declares Dr. $. F. Weigert, District Farm Agent with the Agricultural Extension Di- vision, who has just received let ter from c. B. Doyle, cotton breed ing specialist of the United States Bureau of Plant Industry.
 The Meade variety has been bred as substitute for the Sea Island cotton, the ginning and marketing requirements being the same for both types, says MT. Doyle. "To get the best results this cotton must be ginned on roller gin and it is not being recommended in those To- calities where roller gin facilities supplies of pure seed are extremely small and the department supply of stock for this year has already been placed"
 pr. Weigert says he does not be- lieve there is roller gin within the state and that farmers who plant Meads cotton will do so with the understanding that they will have to take reduced price for the cot ton that will have to be ginned un- der conditions that are not suitable for this variety. Dr. Weigert is advising all of the county agents in his district in Southwestern Ar kansas of the advice contained in Mir. Doyle's letter and believes that it is to the best interests of all farm CTS to plant other varieties that can be ginned under suitable conditions.

March 2O.-Jason Rog- CTS, publisher of the New York Globe, who has come to Montreal to investigate the causes of the serious news print shortage in the United States, says that it was due in large part to the fact that empty freight cars for the movement of the paper were not being returned to Canada fro mthe United States. : "The situation is desperate" said MT.

MOSQUITOES HATE LIGHT
Clean, Bare Wails and Windows Do
 Not Attract Them, It Is Said.

It has been shown that the mala- ria-bearing mosquito does not stay in we'll lighted house or modern hospital says the Medical Record. Clean, bare walls and ceilings, large windows and little furniture, do not attract it. On the contrary it selects cottages and old-fashioned houses, where the rooms are "stuffy' and hot, ill-lighted, ill-ventilated, with dark recesses, cupboards, old cur tains and much furniture. In such a place the mosquito is altogether at home, and if there is restricted living or sleeping accommodations infection is very likely to be car ried from the malaria carrier to the person.
