wise enough to see tn eremedy and he

Old Ezra had used his days of retire
ment to good purpose and the govern
or was big enough to call him out of
his she'll to head a procession in ded-
ication of the walls and to bring him
to the front as the teacher to whom
he himself would listen. Men instead
of masonry are the final measure of a
city's strength and only religion can
produce them. SO a great gathering
was staged in which the treasured
roll was brought forth and Ezra came
into his own. Teaching thru the long
hours the men, women and youth were
attentive to the story of the nations
life and the demands of Jehovah for
obedience to the great laws of indi-
vidual and social life. Whenever there
was need it was interpreted into the
everyday speech of the people so that
they could understand its meaning.
Emotions were stirred and action urg-
ed. For tears and amens that end in
water and wind are poor substitutes
for real religion. The teaching was to
be translated into life. And they
could not get enough of it in the time
set so they took a weeks holiday for

the celebrating of the old feast of the
tabernacles that crowded roof and
street with joyous throng eager not
only for instruction but also to learn
how to perpetuate the heritage that
had come to them from their great
past with its Moses, Samuel, David
and Isaiah.
This was the rebirth of the nation.
1t determined the forms it should car
ry across the centuries. 1t established
the temple at it's heart and gave the
priest a position of authority, and it
enlisted the scribe as an Interpreter
of the law in a way hitherto unknown.
Rigid lines grew up across the years,
but the law never lost its luster nor
the temple its hold upon their afFec-
tions.
The four hundred years that inter-
vened between the coming of our Lord
were brilliant enough and far too lit
tie known, for in them they attained
to independence under the Maccabees
and Joined again the family of ma
tions. Taken under the shadow of
Rome they remained a part of its
dominions until the tragic close of
their story but those years have
changed all the life of the world.

feasing Cost Of Telepho1
Plant and Equipment
ONE Of our big tasks today is to pro-
~ vide the plant and equipment necessary to
meet the demands of the people of Maryland for
more telephone service
gEach telephone added to the system
requires additional plant and equipment. During
the last five years the number of telephones
added in Maryland has been $4,000; an increase
OF So per cent. But the increase in telephone
plant during the same period has been 81 per cent
Thus, while the growth in telephones has been
large, it has been greatly exceeded by the increase
in plant.
lStated another way, the plant per
telephone in service in 1919 averaged $151.OO.
1t is now $1,000 and in 1928 it will be more
than $4,000 per telephone.
eYou ask why. It is because of the
present high cost of building plant-first, to ex-
tend the system, and, second, to replace old plant
built at low pre-war costs, with new plant built
at present-day costs.
81 This process of extending and re-
placing plant and equipment is constantly going
On. 1t is a part Of this Company's obligation to
give service to the people OF Maryland But our
present rates designed to yield return,
not ON the average plant per telephone today,
but as it stood in 1920.
81 1t takes more net earnings now to
pay return the property than it did in
1920. This is one of the reasons why we must
ask for some moderate increases in our rates.

Buster keaton is Coming in Second
I-Reel Comedy-Schenck. M e I r Q
Star in sour Hospitality" Offers
Hilarious Picture of Life in Ameri.
ca in 1880.
Our Hospitality" Buster Keaton's
second feature-length comedy made
| under his new contract with Metro,
is coming to the Opera House today
and tomorrow. This picture is de-
scribed as an entirely new style of
comedy. Aside from the Keatonesque
situations, which are a staple part of
the frozen faced laugh artists come
dies, the story depicts the history of
! America during the railroad building
era-one of the greatest periods in
| the growth of the country.
Much of the humor OF the story is
| developed from the quaintness of So
ctal conditions Of the time. The
| nishes some delightfully."- quaint hu-
NOR and offers also a corret histori-
cal replica.
Film fans are due for a distinct
shock when they see Buster as Will
liam Mckay, the serious youth, who
returns to settle the affairs of his
family. who have been killed off by
the Canfields. The sight of smart
looking. small statured lad, dressed
in the elegant foppery of America in
1880, but with a sad. hauntingly ia
miliar face, will greet their eyes. The
pancake hat. baggy trousers and flop
Ply shoes will give way to a high
beaver hat, Chesterfleldian frock
coat and a pair of light gray trousers
shaped to the contour Of the leg and
fitting down over the shoes.
The cast of this Joseph NJ. Schen-
ck-Metro comedy epic is an all- Kea-
ton affair. Natalie Talmandge Kea-
ton. Busters wife, returns to the
screen in the leading feminine role.
Buster II, the Keaton baby, also takes
part. Busters father. Joseph Kea-
ton. originator of the famous Three
Keatons" Of vaudetiile fame. helps
round out the family participation.
Non-family players include Joe Ro-
berts. Kitty Bradbury and Ralph E.
