friends as possible"

more aid to Europe than he would
recommend but he called this "an
honest difference of opinion"
On the proposed st. Lawrence
Seaway, Senator Taft emphasized
that his opposition to the project
reflected only "the position of Ohio
and not the Republican Party as
whole.

in foxholes, where the going was
toughest, and he wrote about them
in such a way that he endeared
himself equally to the people back
home and to the GIs themselves. .
Mr.. Pyle was killed by japanese
machine-un fire on Ie Shima, an

"It is a great pity that the world
should have been deprived of his

ABOUND TOWN
WITH THE EDITOR

ly beginning to boil. While there
are no new candidates for the Office
of Mayor of Hagerstown Gas this is
written) the floodgates have really
opened for candidates for members
of the City Council. They are COM
ing in so fast that it's pretty hard to
keep track of them all
OF course, we must not lose sight
of the fact that any filing that is
done now is subject to possible with
drawal before the deadline on jan
uary IL. But if there are no with
drawals, it certainly looks as if we
are going to have several primary
fights, and it may wind up in both
Republican and Democratic pri-
maries in every ward but Ward /,
for which, so far, Jack Hellane is
the only candidate.
The list of candidates to date will
be found elsewhere on this page.

All Cards Should Be
Mailed This Week
Postmaster Simpson Warns
That Late Mailing May Delay
Delivery Till After Christmas.

Hurry, hurry, hurry" chanted
Postmaster Simpson today in a final
warning to tardy mailers of tradi-
tional Yuletide greetings.
All Christmas cards for local de-
livery should be on their way at least
a week before Christmas, he said.
eff your Christmas cards aren't in
the mail pickup boxes by Friday
night, some may possibly not be de-
livered until after Christmas Day."
the Postmaster declared.
Don't risk disappointing your
friends. Remember, Christmas
isn't really Christmas-afterward. !"
With holiday mailings all across
the nation reaching an all-time peak
this year, the Postmaster reported
that heavy shipments of out-of-town
mail for local delivery are already
rolling in.
BY the time the last weary mail
carrier has gone home to take off his
shoes on Christmas Eve, over 1,000,-
600 Christmas cards and packages
will have travelled through the local
post Office, he estimated.
Your out-of-State holiday mail
should have been posted last Friday,
December 10, the Postmaster pointed
out. If you still have a few Christ
mas cards for distant friends and
relatives on hand, he advises you to
use airmail.

and there will be mo pleasure or
profit in them" He quickly follow
ed this statement, however, with the
suggestion that we don't need to
make the same mistakes we made
after the first world war.
He went on to say that the farm
income was the highest in the his
tory of the country last year and
that it will go higher in 1919. He
praised very highly the facelifting
that was given to the farm in Fred
erick County few months back, but
pointed out that most farmers after
World War I, didn't have the money
to improve their farms. He then
added: ''The know-how is not enough
every farmer, to improve his land,
to terrace it and build it up, must
make a profit from his operation"
Doctor Saunders said that the
grange is in position to not only
render service in this field of inn
provement, but also to stress the
Importance of agriculture, and thus
retain its place in the affairs of the
country. He said that the farmers
are very proud of their sons and
daughters who help on the farm, and
they are likewise proud of those
young people who have come to town
to man business and industry.
IF we are to remain strong in
time of peace and invincible in time
of war, we must maintain large
and dignifed, prosperous farm pop
ulation," were the closing words of
Doctor Saunders address.
The meeting closed with stirring
address Farm and Home Life In
India,' by Miss Hattie Brooks, home
demonstration agent in Dorchester
County, the report of which will be
found in our "News of Washington
County Homenakers Clubs" column,
elsewhere in this issue.
, At the final session, held on Thurs
! day, l. Keller Shank was reelected
to the executive committee, along
with Samuel Linton, of Charles
] County.
Also at the final session, the State
Grange went on REGARD as being
opposed to price controls with the
accompanying evils of rollbacks,
subsidies, and rationing at both con-
sunner and industrial levels.
Another resolution passed was
one favoring a reasonable system OF
price supports, in which the Grange
referred to the Aiken bill as a rea-
sonable approach to safeguarding
the producer as well as the consum-
err They also voiced approval OF
the oleo tax repeal and the extern
sion of Social Security to farms and
farm workers.

Telephone Co. Asks
For Higher Rates
Files Application For Temper
airy Rate Increase Calculated
To Produce Additional Annual
Net Income OF $2,45O,OOO.


Net Income OF $2,45O,O0O.
The Chesapeake and Potomac
Telephone Company of Baltimore
City on Monday filed with the Pub
lie Service Commission, schedule
of temporary rate increases, calcu-
lated to produce an additional an
nual gross income of around four
million dollars, and an additional
annual net income of approximately
$2,450,000, and requested authority
to make such schedule effective on
or before February Is, 1919.
l.. j. Mccarthy, manager Of the
Hagerstown office of the company,
stated that the proposed increased
rates will affect Hagerstown as fol-
lows:
Residence Phones: Straight lines
would be increased from $4 to $3.50
a month; two-party lines from $3.50
to $4; four-p party from So to $3.50;
and rural service from So to $3.75.
Extension would remain as it is now,
ST a month.
Business Phones: Straight lines
would be increased from $3.50 to SO
month; two-party lined from $6.25
to $3.50; and rural service from 81
to SIS. Extension service would re-
main the same as it is now, SLIPS a
month.
Stating that the relief requested
is in conformity with the findings
of the Public Service Commission in
the last case involving the determine
ton of rates for the company, the
supplemental petition requested, at
ter public hearings, authority to IN
crease telephone rates on temper
airy basis, under bond, pending full
investigation by the Commission OF
! the C. and P.'s November 10th APP
plication for permanent rate in
creases.
| In its petition, the company spec
flied that bond will be furnished ITO
insure prompt refund by the COM
pany to those entitled thereto, of all
amounts which the company shall
collect or receive in excess of such
rates and charges as may be finally
fixed and determined by this Com
mission"
] 1t was emphasized that the Com
pany's critically low earnings and
! the fact that many months will be
required for the company to pre-
/ pare and the Commission to investi-
\ gate and decide upon permanent rate
4 increases have created an emergency
which necessitates seeking relief
1 through the approval of temporary
rates.
The supplemental petition pointed
out that the establishment of tempo
rary rates will promote the public
+ interest in that "the revenue derived
therefrom will facilitate the COM
pany's ability to carry on its unpre-
i cedented construction program IN
volving further expenditures OF APP
proximately $60,00O,000 necessary to
meet the public demand for addl-
tional and improved telephone serv-
s ice, and the Commission and al
other parties will have a more ex-
tended period within which to there
after inquire into all facts and CIR
cumstances deemed by the Commas
sion relevant to the determination o.
! just and reasonable permanent rates
to be charged by the company"

it struck the wing of the plane and
set is ablaze. The pilot then turned
the plane to an angle that enabled
him to release the gas and oil be-
fore it ignited, then he nose dived
with a velocity that extinguished
the flames. The plane was brought
to safe landing on a small field and

steps to put up, and the emergency
door, through which they must exit
about Is feet from the ground.

included, jumped out and stretched
a canvas for the passengers to jump
into. A mother was the first tt
jump, while Richard held her baby
he then followed, with the baby il
his arms, and got down safely.
Only one of the passengers, al
elderly man grew panicky, but wa'
quickly steadied by the stewardess
Word of the planes misfortune
was relayed to Ell Paso, Texas, abou
72 miles away, and a small rescue
plane came to their aid. But since
it could carry only half the passen
gers, some of them were maroonet
about hours in the cold night, will
just a few blankets for protection
During their wait, the stewardes
interviewed each passenger, ant
found Richard to be the only ont
who had never flown before; there
upon the other passengers toasted
him for the courage he displayed
