induce the Bell Telephone Co. to

its case. 1t showed that while
farm products had gone up 300 per

vice did not go up at all, though
the telephone company had to pay
higher wages to meet the 800 per
cent raise in foodstuffs, and to pay
300 per cent more for poles, cop
per, electricity, ETC., but was not
permitted to increase its service
charges until 1920, when the boom
was about over.

which were not permitted to raise

For that vast majority death

how tremendous the opportunity,

On the other hand grain is filing nicely and the weather seems to have been favorable to apricots which generally are setting heavily. In the Nogales section a large portion of the fruit crop was damaged and fruit in the northern counties is reported to have suffered considerably.
