anticipated. The plan now is for Tie
company 10 present its financial
statements on which it bases is
arguments for new rates and present
witnesses to substantiatc these
figures
During 1919 the Company's operat-
ing expenses and interest charges c.
ceeded it's revenues. Like all other
industries the Company has been ser
iously affected by increased cost. Th g
deficit occurred in spite of the fact
that in May. 1919. the Federal Cos
eminent made some increase in The
rates for service. These Increases did
~. PRODUCE sufficient revenue and the
increased cost OF labor and material
since has brought the Company 10 a
point where additional revenue is i'm
perative.
New money is constantly required
in the telephone system, no. only to
extend the service to new suDscrib-
ers. III. 10 take care of the constantly
increasing use Of the service by pres
ent subscril ers. The rate of return

TIMELY REPAIR GIVES

The timely repair of even the most
insignificant tread cut prevents sand

method is so simple that any notorist

Running over jagged stones and
glass cuts the tread rubber protecting

HENRY COWMAN DIES
AT THE COUNTY HOME

Henry Cowman. an aged white
man. well known figure about Anna
polls a few years ago, where he
lived the life OF a hermit at his home
on School street, died yesterday at
noon at the Anne Arundel County
Home. South River. where he had
been an inmate for nearly two years.
Cowman was said to be 81 years old.
but appeared to he beyond ninety, so
aged and infirm he seemed.
For years he had been stone
deaf and could not understand a
spoken word. 1t was necessary to
communicate with him by writing.
The old man was fond of reading.
aud had fairly good sight. He was
perfectly happy as an inmate at the
home. and was always bright and
smiling, approaching the presence of
visitors.
His remains will be brought to An
napolis for burial in the family lot
in St. Marys Cemetery. While an in
mate OF the County Home. he had
some means and was not a pauper.
hut was kept there because there was
no one TO look after and care for him
AT his room in town. and it vas UNI
safe TO leave the old man alone, eS-
peciaIly as he was so deaf. On one
occasion he he'd been attacked by an
intruder. and it was thought best te
surround him with the care and pro-
etcion the County Home affords.

LETTERS OF TESSIE AND JOE

Dear Tessie:
| consumed your ever welcome letter
with my coffee this morning and enjoyed
il, and I'm only sorry | cant say as much
for the coffee This hotel life wouldn't
be half 50 bad if IL WASH for the food and
the sleeping accommodations. Joke. Oh
for a good strong cupof home brewed,
coffee made by your own fair hands,
though 10 give the devil his due remember
there wasn't no medals on your coffee for
some time after we were first married
Half the time IL WAS SO thin II WAS un-
drinkable and the othe half il was 30 thick
IL was uncatahle.
Nothing but strikes in the papers these
DAYS To hear people talk, everybody
realizes the thing this country needs is
10 get more work done, but the trouble is
they're all modestly loafng SO somebody
else can get the credit. Or else may be
we're all acting on the principle that If
we do less work somebody else has got TO
do more. II might be good system If the
entire population hadn't all thought Of 1t
at the same time.
I'm glad you told me about your Cousin
Grnce's newlaid husband being In the
insurance business because IL gives me this
opportunity to warn you TO lay off OF
that family from now on, even IN q social
way, as an insurance man is absolutely
devoid of conscience when it comes to
combining business with pleasure and I'm
carrying all the insurance right now that
/ care TO.
/ am sending the baby child size
toothbrush with bristles and handles
all complete because he's bound to come
across with tooth any day now after
all those false alarms and the sooner
he learns TO use tooth brush the better
he'll get along in the world In after years.
A winning smile is great help TO success
In life, both in the movies and out, and
after certain early age you can't have a
winning smile without teeth.
Yours a. ever,
Joe.
Don't miss the baby's reception Of the
toothbrush as recounted by Tesie to-
morrow.
