seem utterly Indifferent to the .condi-
ton in which the cemetery is kept.
Added to these are those who are ac-
tually disagreeable when petitioned to
subscribe to the fund. And many who
do subscribe are so dilatory that there
has never been a season during the
four years while the club has had
charge Of this work that the money
paid in by the end Of the season has
been sufficient to cover expenses. The
club has always had to borrow from
some other fund in order to carry on
the work. All this makes the under
taking no easy task to those who have
it in charge.
This year the expense will be
heavier as the cost of labor and Of
tools is considerably higher. It will
be necessary to have more money to
meet che heavier expenses.
This article is in the nature of an
appeal to all those who should be in
terested in the cemetery. Those who
have never paid are petitioned to do
so this year; those who always pay
are requested to pay promptly, and all
who can possibly afford to do so are
asked to be more generous with their
subscriptions.

and financial condition. Just because
one village in the county has figured
it out that it is good policy to
plunge into debt to get the best there
is to be had and mortgage her future
in order to do SO, is no sign that the
rest of our towns and villages care to
follow her in her money-mad career,

Laos county would care to adopt her

so when we must all chip in and pay

her courage in this movement, but be-
lieve she is using very poor Judgment
and picked a very inopportune time.

REDUCTION ORDERED
Railroad and Warehouse Commission
Cuts Down Charges for Tele-
phone Connections, Etc.
Princeton is Included Among the VIII
lagos Which viii Be Affected
BY This Reduction.

Material reduction Of installation
and miscellaneous charges by teles
phone companies has been ordered by
the Minnesota. railroad and warehouse
commission, the order to become efec-
tive May Is. Some time ago the
Telephone Exchange
company, the Tri-State Telephone and
Telegraph company, and some OF the
larger telephone companies, filed with
the commission graduated scale Of
charges for service connections, NOV
ing of telephones, changing of equip
ment and for other work, which scale,
in some particulars, was higher than
those prescribed by the so-called
Burleson or federal rates. After
hearings, which continued several
days, and careful study Of the propo-
sition, the commission disapproved the
proposed charges and established
revised. schedule, considerably lower
than that proposed, and much lower
than the federal scale.
Thus in the cities Of the third
group the charge for Installation
so known as service eonnection-when
instrument is not in place, is $3.50 for
business house and $1.75 for resi-
dence; when instrument is in place the
charges respectively are $1.75 and
.s1.25 for business and residence. The
federal rates were $3.50 flat for either
business or residence, with the tele-
phone not in place, and $50 with the
telephone instrument in place.
Princeton is included among the VII.
lagos to which this order applies.
For installing an extension te1e-
phone, the new charge is 800 if the.
instrument is: not in place. and no
charge will be permitted if the instru-
ment is in place. The federal charges;
respectively were $3.50 and s1.5o-a

ture will cost but ST. If the move is
made outside the premises the charge
will be the same as for a service cons
nection instead Of the fiat rate Of $3.50.

Mayday Wedding.

Inc WeOQ1ng OF MISS Ruth Sever
ance Reed, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.

evening at the home Of the brides

carried out quietly and unpretentious-
~ and was witnessed only by relatives

various rooms. The drawing room,
where the ceremony was performed,
was banked with larkspur, pink and
white snap dragons made a glowing
note Of color in the library, a huge
mound Of tulips formed the center
piece in the diningroom and seemed to
reflect the varicolored hues of the
electrolier above while palms screened
the orchestra in the hall.

er, descending the stairway as the
bridal chorus from Lohengrin was
played by the musicians. She was at
tended by her sister, Miss Rachael

with orange blossoms She carried a
large shower bouquet of blue and white
larkspurs, her favorite flower, and
wore diamond pendant, the gift of
the groom. The maid of honor wore
pink tatfeta with silver lace and car
ried an arm bouquet of pink sweet
peas. The brides mother was gowned
in blue georgette over silver, and car
ried pink rosebuds.
$ An informal reception followed the
ceremony and buffet luncheon was
served by Boston caterer, during
which musical program was given
by Boston orchestra.
The young couple were the recipi-
ents of many valuable and beautiful
gifts Of cut glass, silver and linen and
generous checks from their fathers.
On account Of illness the family of the
groom were unable to be present.
Mr.. and Mrs. Galley left by automo-
bile for wedding trip Of three weeks
