HE DIMES IN MODEST CAFE.
General Joffre is a Very Strict Veg
- etarian.

In a modest little Paris ''brasserie"
"a cafe that makes specially of serv-
ing beer), where he dimes for 12
francs to the accompaniment of the
overture from :'William Tell played
On a wheezy violin, there is kindly
appearing old man who has the same
table every night. He is Marshal
Joffre, victor of the Marne.
He prefers waiter named Alex
andre, who has served him since he
was young captain of cavalry thirty
years ago and who knows the Mar
shal's habits and his likes and dis
likes.
The marshal reads three neWspa-
pers during his dinner. He drinks
no wine, coffee or liquor. He eats
plenty, but slowly, and is strict
vegetarian. He likes to be regarded
as a "petit bourgeois of Paris. "
French newspapers contrast his SIM
p1icity with the probable conduct of
Won Hindenburg or Ludendorff had
either Of them been the great victor.

WANT TO INCREASE RATES.
Telephone Company Files Petition
Railroad Commission.

Columbia, Oct. 31.-The Southern
Bell Telephone and Telegraph COM
pany has filed petition with the
state railroad commission asking for
a statewide increase of telephone
rates. The prayer to the commission,
which was served by Morgan B. Spear
Of Charlotte, general manager of the
telephone company, does not specify
what increase it wanted but asks for
"such rates within the state of South
Carolina as will establish the credit
Of the company to enable it to secure
the necessary money with which to
construct the facilities demanded by
the public for service, and which will
pay to the owners of it's property a
fair, just and compensatory return
on it's use by the public.'
The commission has set December
s as the date for a public hearing on
the petition, representatives of the
telephone company and the telephone
using public being requested to be
present at that time.
A proposed programme of con-
struction for the next five years to
cost S4,315,11 is outlined in the Pc
tition, the number of telephones in
the state to be increased by approx
imately $4,000. The Improvement
projects for 1921 will cost S936,906,
the company states. The money to
finance this programme is to be OBJ
tained from the rate increase, should
it be granted.
Increased wages are also named as
a reason for the higher rate Over
half of the company's disbursements,
according to the petition, go for wag-
es and salaries, all of which are to
be increased in the coming year, the
petition states. From January, 1915,
to January, 1920, wages of the COM
pany increased from S228,54S to
s554,742 per month, an advance of
142 per cent. Wages, since January
1920, according to the company's
statement, have increased at rate of
$597,152 per annum. Proposed in
creases for this year will be made at
rate of $4,000 per annum, the
company states.
The increased cost of material and
the failure of the company to earn
the equivalent of the legal rate OF in
terest on it's investments are also set
forth in the petition as reasons for
the allowing of higher charges. Ma
terials, it is stated, are now costing
81 per cent. above normal prices. The
highest earnings ever made by the
company, as given in the petition,
were 4.2S per cent. on it's investment
in 1915.

Big Program at the
Coming State Fair
Locomotive Collision to be Sensa-
tiOn on Grounds, Saturday,
September 4th

The greatest entertainment pro-
gram in history is booked for the
Minnesota State Fair, Sept to II.
The leading feature of the program
will be thrilling head on locomotive
collision between two eight-wheel,
American type engines. These mon
sters of the rails will meet headon
before the grandstand on the opening
day Of the fair, Saturday, Sept j.
On account of it's prodigious expense
the collision will be staged only once
the opening Saturday.
This $4,000 attraction is easily
the most stupendous ever booked by
the fair management. The two mas
sive locomotives, each weighing
100000 pounds, will clash head-on
while speeding at the rate of 60
miles an hour.
A single line track built from 80
