Telephone Co. Must
Earn Fair Return
Says p. u. Comm.

The public utilities commission
Wednesday through it's chairman,
Charles E. Quincy, sent a communi-
cation to the mayors of all Maine
cities stating that the New England
Telephone e Telegraph Company
has filed with the commission a
schedule proposing increases of
rates to be effective June first of
this year.
I'VE are in receipt OF letters from
citizens throughout the State, indi-
eating their interest and expressing
opposition to the proposed in
creases." continues the letter.
1T must, however, be realized
that increases of all public utilities
involve the application Of economic
and legal principles. A public utility
must earn fair return under our
statutes upon the property used and
useful in the public service. 1t may
not lawfully, however, receive rates
that are in excess of this measure.
To determine what Is fair and lust
will involve a hearing before this
commission some time during the
summer. In the meantime, the
commission contemplates the sus-
pension of the rates, which will pre-
vent their becoming effective on
June first.
1--WE are writing you as the execu-
tive head Of your city to ask wheth-
er or not you desire to have your
city represented at the proposed
hearing. Similar letters are being
sent to other persons interested. 1t
is intended to set time for hearing
that will accommodate as many
parties in interest as possible.
will you kindly let me know at
your earliest convenience just what
the position of your city is with res
pect to theNmatter, to the end that
we may make plans to bring 1t to
as speedy an examination and hear
ing as circumstances will permit ?"

1.-THE Wanderer" Said To Have
Largest And Most Beautiful Sets
Ever Seen In The Movies,

1.-THE Wanderer'h famous Biblical
stage spectacle now being dramatic
ed on the screen by Paramount has
established what is said to be a new
record for size and beauty of mo-.
ton picture sets.
Like a series of paintings by a
master hand. each scene has been
made pictorially perfect. To gain
this desired effect required months
of work-not only in the actual pro-
duction of the picture but in its
preparation. Each scene was writ
ten with the thought of beauty al
ways in mind and each was filmed
so that it would balance and blend
with the rest. Even the thousands
of costumes in the mob scenes for
the picture were made chiefly with
view towards the pictorial effects
obtained from them.

MISS BOUTON WORKS TO
IMPROVE HEALTH OF TOTS

On Wednesday of last week Miss
Rosa Bouton, home demonstration
agent, returned from Navajo county
where she has been working with
school children and their mothers on
the keep growing project organized
month previous.
AT Woodruff there was an epidemic
of measles and at st. Joseph many
were sick with colds, flu and septic
sore throats, therefore work planned
for these communities was postponed
until a month later.
At Taylor and Holbrook much in
terest is shown by the children in I'M
proving their health habits and bring
ing their weight up to average.
In Holbrook the English pupils OF
grades one to eight are having a con-
test to see which room will win the
most points on the health score cards.
One little lad gave up going to the
picture show so as to put down his
points for going to bed on time. An
other ate his cauliflower which he
did not like so as to raise the number
of points on his card Mothers re-
ported to the agent that their children
who would not eat vegetables before
this project was started are now eat
ing them. Children who did not like
milk are now drinking it regularly,
in several cases quart day. The
first grade taught by Miss Matte won
the banner in February.
Good gains were made in weigh
both in the Taylor and in the Holbrook
schools but the children in the Hoi-
brook Central Spanish school did the
best. Every child but two IN the
three grades of this school gained III
weight, and one of those was glr
10 pounds over weight So 1t was
lust as we'll that she did lose. Inc
good work of these little Spanish
Americans is due largely to the fact
that their teachers emphasize daily
the Importance of the practice OF
health habits.
They all claim to be drinking milk
instead of coffee, and Judging by the
gains shown by the scales 1t seems
that they are using "leche" as they
say they are.
These little folks like the English
speaking ones, were eager to bring
their nickels for little bamboo tooth
brushes and are now supposed to De
cleaning their teeth twice daily.
In schools where the agent has IN
troduced the health project she has
found pupils do not own tooth
brushes. To meet this need bamboo
ones are now obtained at five cents
each plus postage.
In Snowflake, kitchen improvement
project has been undertaken by a
dozen ladies'. They are making draw
ings of their kitchens, taking inven-
tories of equipment and scoring the
kitchens as they are at present. Then
improvements will begin and at the
end of three months they are to be
again scored. The members of this

KANSAS CITY WEEKLY
MARKET REPORT
4+++%*+%++%s++%@s >

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, March o.
Cattle receipts today were the largest
on any Monday in March in several
years past and the upward movement
in prices which had been in progress
for more than two weeks was checked
with a moderate decline. Trade how
ever showed large volume. Hog
prices eased off moderately, but as
there was no decided drop following
last weeks sensational advance, the
market remained in a satisfactory
position. Sheep and lambs were
quoted weak to 25 cents lower.
The few choice handy and medium
weight steers offered brought 5000
to $11.25, and heavy steers sold up to
S11. Sows sold largely at $5.25 to
1925, and heifers $3.50 to $3.50. Some
light weight mixed yearlings sold up
to $11. Calves were steady, top $11.
Stockers and Feeders
Receipts of thin cattle were fairly
liberal, but demand was active and
prices held steady. The run Included
liberal supply of Texas and south
west cattle, some of them forced IN
because Of dry weather.
Sheep and Lambs
Sheep and lamb prices were Is to
| Ok cents lower. Some choice lambs
sold at S17.25 to shipper and packers
took most of the good lambs at $500
to S171O. Some fresh shorn wethers
at 1895, were about the only sheep
offered.
