Paris, Sept. "a.
Americans trying to do business in
Paris have for long time complained
of the inefficiency Of the French tele-
phone system. with interminable waits
for even the shortest distance calls,
but now 1t seems certain that the
difficulties in this connection will in
crease If the Chamber Of Deputies ap-
proves the new telephone rates pro-
posed. Thousands of telephone sub
scribers, including large business firms,
declare they will take out the instru-
ments rather than pay what they re-
gard as an exorbitant tariff.
Telephone service here now costs only
700 francs a year. but the Telephone
Ministry intends to fix yearly subscrip-
tions at $50 francs, with charge of
25 centimes for every call in excess OF
1000 year.
Important firms have counted the
number Of calls sent out over their tele-
phones daily and have calculated that
under the new rates 1t will cost some Of
them more than 25, 900 francs a year for
telephone service.
Cafes and restaurants, which have
never charged customers for the use OF
their telephones, declare they will be
compelled to increase their prices as the
French public. after years of gratuitous
telephone service, will not be willing to
pay for 1t now.
1t will be recalled that an American
telephone syndicate offered last year to
take over the Paris telephone system
and operate 1t after the American plan
and charge minimum rates. but the Offer
was refused Now. however. there is a
strong probability that, should this syn.
dicate's offer be renewed 1t would be ac-
corded serious consideration, as thu
French budget situation is too danger.

passenger rates that are bearing heavily upon

conditions in the industry OF the country. The
peopIe vino pay the bills are willing to do their

and extravagance the railways such as
some of the wartime regulations have entailed
and the labor board would eliminate.
The talk about a general strike fails to i'm

the railway men in taking such drastic action
in direct opposition to nationwide sentiment
1. is conceivable that the leaders of the rail-
way workers might have welcomed strike
few years ago in the hope OF forcing govern
ment ownership or control OF railways But
even they have not mistaken the temper of
the-people on that proposition. Few things
have been made palmer than that this country
does not want government ownership or con-
troll of railways and that it is anxious to give
the owners of the roads opportunity to get
them back to paying basis as efficiently man

ENCOURAGING Home Building.

One of the projects which the federal gov
eminent has under consideration for the pur
pose of relieving unemployment and discomfort
is a great home building campaign. The plans
are only tentative thus far. If the program
is put under way it's aim will be to stimulate
the building of homes costing $4,000 or less.
Construction will be made swift, cheap and
easy by the use of standard plans and equip
ment. An effort will be put forth to rouse CO.
operation the country over between industry,
civic authorities builders, bankers and others
concerned. The idea of patriotic service will
be stressed, the government merely suggesting
ways and means. It is hoped that local
operation will suffice to put the scheme through
in each community and that it will not be
necessary to draw upon the federal treasury
There are great possibilities in the PLAN
though it had far better have been undertaken
months ago. A people busy at home building
will have little time for disturbance of any
kind. The idea should be the more effective
because it places the burden of getting back
to normal straight up to the individual com
munity instead of fostering the too prevalent
tendency to leave it all to the government

animal cost there is profit enough in the offal
to make the packing business pay. corn
field in Rock Island county a few days ago
presented unique appearance. The ground
was bare though it had been swept clean
although weeds were waist high in other fields
nearby. The lower corn blades had been
stripped clean to the overhangng ears al
though not ear had been molested Investi-
cation If one need to take that trouble to
learn the cause-showed a flock of we'll bred
lambs had had the run of the field and we're
nearly ready for market. They had been fin
ished on what otherwise would have been
waste product. the lower corn blades, grass
fox tail and other weeds. What is more, the
weeds were not permitted ts> ripen seed in
that field and thus make trouble next year
when the land is again planted to corn.
Over the fence on another farm is a blue
grass pasture land not essentially different
from that in the corn field. The pasture was
covered with sunac. hazel and paw-paw, ex-
cept for an occasional open spot on which
giant rag weeds grew. In the corn field one
farmer was getting two crops with the labor
required to grow one crop. In the pasture
not more than one-third of crop was being
grown, although the outlay was almost as
great as would be necessary to grow a full
crop. The management that saves everything
on the farm, even the straw, weeds and stalks
and converts them into manure gets the owner
ahead. The management which only partly
uulizes facilities and products causes the own
er to lag behind No business not even farm
ing on good land, is profitable enough to enable
the owner to get on with the wasteful methods
pursued by the owner of the pasture. In the

farm produces will get ahead
