Per Cen, Over 1914

This table shows that in $40 the period of
highest prices, the increase in the cost of tele-
phone service 1914 was slightly more
than third Of The average increase in the cost
OF the other isc,na; and now, with prices largely
stabilized, the increase is slightly more than
one-half Of the increase in the other Items.
The usefulness of The telephone service to
the patron in city, town or community de-
Ponds largely upon the number of persons with
whom he may communicates; in other words,
the value Of telephone service increases as the
number of telephones increases
In some places in Virginia since 1914, the
number OF telephones has increased as high as
1870; in the entire state The increase has been
$500. In other words The increase in the value
of the telephone service TO the user in Virginia
has greatly exceeded the incrca,e in our rates.

GIvEUP CONTEST WITH SAND
Washington Railroads, After Unsue-
cessful Fight, Move Their Tracks
to Get Out Of the Way.

After fighting night and day to keep
their tracks free from windblown
sand, two railroads running along the
banks of the Columbia river, near
Wallula, Washington, have given up
the struggle and are soon to move
their roadbeds to the top of the bluffs,
out Of reach of the. sand. For months
teams of horses and scrapers have
struggled with the sand.
During the flood season the river
deposits sand and silt on the Column
bias banks to depth of from ten to
fifteen feet, and as the water recedes,
the wind picks up this fine, rounded
material and carries 1t over the sur
rounding country. On the farm Of
H. r. Ostrom a pen and shed filled
with four hundred sheep were buried
overnight and few branches bear

POOR EITTYi

A Kansas farmer had, just built
a big, barn. One day as he was set
ting off for town he told his two
SONS to cut small hole in one of the
sides so that the cat could get in OF
out at will.
The boys cut the hole Just beside
the big barn door, but when the
farmer returned and saw it he; was
much displeased. r.,
"Why can't ] depend on you boys
to do single thing rfght!"-he ex-
claimed angrily. Don't you know
that hole is in the wrong placer" !.
WHY" asked the boys.
The farmer fairly snorted. Leap
ing from the buggy, he seized the
barn door and swung it open, and OF
course it covered the aperture.
Now, where is your cat-hole?" he
shouted. How in the name of sense
can the cat get into the barn when
the doors open?"

TRIBUTE TO DEAD
German Writes of American Gem
etery in France.
Spot Where More Than 21,4oo of the
Bravest of Our Land Are Buried,
Is Field of White.

Paul Block, Paris correspondent Of
The Berliner Tageblatt, was recently u
sympathetic observer of the destruc-
ton wrought by his countrymen in
northern France and sent to his pa
per a detailed report of his trip
through the devastated region. OF a
certain point in his journey he writes:
The guide relates in a matter-of-
fact way that of the 131 villages which
he covers in his trip some eighty have
been utterly destroyed. This part of
the journey, from ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
to Boureuilles, has all been wrecked
by the war, but the worst came after
we reached Varennes. From there to
Verdun 1t is q desert-over which the
horsemen Of the Apocalypse have
swept.
At only one point Is there any evil
dence Of restoration, and this has be-
come one of the sights of the region.
| mean the American cemetery at
Romagne below Montfaucon. When
ever the Americans take anything up
they do 1t in wholesale way. AL
though we had come solely to see
ruins, we could not pass this Gene
terry without a visit. 1t is the only
one of its kind.
On a gently rising hill purchased
outright for this purpose are buried
the u 400 Americans, who fell during
the fighting around Montfaucon. Some
kilometers before we reached this
point we noted little white signbOards
along the road directing us to this
gigantic graveyard; for many of the
relatives of the fallen cross the sea
in order to visit the last resting place
of those dear to them.
But when you come within half
mile Of the point you need no further
guidance. An apparently limitless
field of white suddenly greets the Wis
ion in tine distance. This is the effect
Of the 21,400 tombstones Of equal size
shining in the sunlight. There are
crosses for professionals and Catholics,
and stars for Jews, ranged closely side
by side, at the heads Of p, 400 uni
form, well-kept graves. They all lie
there, the officers in the middle. A
great star of foliage plants separates
the world of the dead from the world
of the living. High above the graves
fiutters the Stars and Stripes. Sad,
indeed, as is the thought that whole
army of vigorous young boys here
slumber In death, this cemetery has
nothing gloomy about it. 1t is bright
and cheerful burial place.
And the army of the dead has its
commander. An American officer and
his staff reside in the group of tidy
houses opposite the entrance, to guard
the resting place of their dead coun-
trymen. One of them came forward
and greeted us, cheerful, young man
with a wholesome ruddy countenance.
What had induced him to exile himself
here in this solitude? High pay? A
sense of duty? Love for France?
The last suggestion is not very plaus-
ible, for he does not know a single
word of French. In any case, his
nerves must be sound, else he could
not live here day after day, hour after
hour, guarding these 81, 400 graves,
without going mad.
