its readers continuous message OF
patriotism and national unity. In each

mand for war supplies thefe came a
demand for decrease In the con-

consumption OF which must be cut
was paper. city man was at the
head OF the department that regulated
the use OF paper, and he felt II ad-
visable TO so limit the amount Of pa

Country Press Deserves Well.
The country press deserves well Of
the people OF the nation, and especial
ly OF the people OF the country COM
munities. Individually these papers
may not be large In size as compared
with the city papers, but quantity Is
not the measure OF their value. They
are worth both directly and indirect
ly far more than their subscription
price. For that price they bring to
you each week the news of your
friends and acquaintances. To those
who have left the country home to 60
either to the city or TO some other
country home, the country newspaper
Is a welcome weekly letter that keeps
them In touch with friends and for
mer associates. To those at home II
carries the news Of their friends and
neighbors. II records the births land
deaths. the marriages, the comings
and goings OF those I'm whom you are
interested. Ii furnishes the medium
Of publicity through which work for a
better and stronger community Is
maintained. 1t voices the consensus
of opinion OF the community 10 the
representatives in the halls OF the
state and national legislators. 1t is
the paper Of. for and by the people
of the villages. The towns and the
small cities.
No country paper worthy of the
name ever seeks the support Of the
people Of its community on any other
ground than that of giving more than
full value for all that IL receives. You

Why Were Telephone Rates Raised!
Local farmer tries TO reach Mr.
Tarte, or other Higher Ups" in Ci-
tizens Phone Co.
/ Editor Banner-News:
We noted with amusement your
sarcastic comments regarding tele-
phone activities. Having had many
years of personal contact with the
local management of both Greenville
and Belding, supporting farm phone
| in conection with both exchanges.
have found these people pretty re.
liable and unusually prompt and, ac-
como ating, the exceptions need not
be Of present consideration.
But having had recent experience
in attempting to penetrate the pa
chydermatic brass lined skin OF for
ces higher up, without courtesy OF
reply by private correspondence, for
the evident self Explained reason
that in the controversy in hand. |
was admittedly within my legal right
and it would wound the pride of
naughty autocracy TO condescend a
reply. We will not depend on pri-
vate correspondence to reach this
question, in which all subscribers are
now seriously interested.
Why the raise in rates?
True we have been told, because
of insufficient income to maintain
service, but, we have been told by
Official publication that The Citizens
Telephone Co. has maintained service
and guaranteed per cent dividends
to the ordinary laboring man, the
farm and business man. This does
not look consistent with the state
ment, Making no Profit.
1t is further of public comment
owing to an impression originating
from service unknown to see that the
Public Committee having control Of
these matters was given an entirely
different view of the case from that
given the public.
Now. as evidently one can not
reach this August Assembly of Gen.
eral Management, by private service.
in behalf of an interested public,
will presume to ask these forces
higher up, if. at or about the time
the Citizens telephone Co. was send
out to its subscribers circulars SO
Letting subscriptions to stock on
practical guarantee dividend of per
cent and better. Representatives of
the company stated before the Pub
lie Utilities Committee or any other
bo5y public or private, that the Ci-
tizens Telephone Co was not realiz-
ing 8 per cent or any other per cent
less than per cent profits?
If the above is true, little need be
said regarding the integrity of this
management, if not true, the public
has a right to know, and has a right
to demand an answer as frankly and
publicly made as this question asked.

AUTO PARKING
ON MAIN STREET

A petition with about 100 Main street
business mems signatures, asks that
the Main street parking ordinance be
enforced. The petition was circulated
by Manager Sawyer of the Menter
store, and mailed to the city council
Saturday, but failed to reach the coun-
ell in time for the Monday meeting. it
is stated.
The signers claim that the ordinance
is abused and violated. The ordinance
provides that cars may be parked on
Main street for a limited time, but
many autoists leave their cars there
for many hours at a time. This does
not give others a chance to park near
the stores that they patronize, accord
ing to the Main street merchants.

Another matter of civic improve

assembled councilmen was the long
discussed Evans avenue paving pro-
position. Because the third. and last.
public announcement of the paving
ordinance was not printed owing to
the flood. the councilmen introduced
a new ordinance, similar to the old,
and have sent copies to publications
for notice. The publications of the
ordinances are supposed to appear at
least week apart.
Several property owners in the

started circulating a protest petition
