[NEW TELEPHONE
RATES SOON TO
BE MADE READY
[To Be Computed on Air Line
Distance Between
Points
- 'A table of definite charges for tel
ephone toll rates which will go into
[effect under Federal regulation
(January 21, will be received hero
January 15. The rates will be com
;puted on the "air line" distance,
what is, the shortest distance be-
Itween the two cities in eontmunlca
ftion, and not on the wire distance.
The rates will be computed on the
[basis of five cents for each six tnlle3
•up to twenty-four miles, and five
; cents for each eight miles beyond
[that distance. This rate applies to
! "station-to-station" calls, where no
kparticular person is called for.
• When a person makes a toll call,
(specifying that conversation is de
[stred with a particular person and
[the connection is established, the
; "person-to-person" rate will prevail, j
•which is about one fourth more]
than the "station-to-station" rate.
'The "person-to-person" rate will be l
'computed on the day rate, whether ]
Ithe call is made during the day or
night, and the minimum charge will
be 20 cents.
When a "persontoperson" < all is :
I made, and the operator must re- ,
port that she was unable to estab- i
Ush a connection with the person 1
•desired, a report charge, of which :
the minimum will be ten cents, and 1
Ithe maximum $2, will be charged.
When the calling party appoints a
Weflnte time at which he will talk I
'on a "person-to-person" basis, the !
appointment rate, about one half
greater than the station to station
rnte. will be charged. No appoint- '
incnt call wilt be accepted where the .
station-to-station rate is less than
15 cents.
Where a messenger is used to get j
a person called, ihe cost of the ines- j
senger service will be added to the '
person-to-person rate.
Night toll calls will be reduced on j
station-to-station calls only. From i
8.30 until midnight, the station-to- j
station rate will be one half the day I
rate, and from midnight until 4.30 ;
a. m.. it will be one-quarter of the |
station-to-station day rate.
The minimum night rate will be
25 cents.
Collect calls will be allowed only
'ln person-to-person calls.
As an example of how the rates
will apply, Altoona 1s witliln 125
miles from Harrisburg. Therefore, !
a station-to-station call, at the rate \
of 5 cents every six miles up to 24 !
Iniles, and five cents every eight
miles beyond that distance, will cost I
fl.oo. I
The person-to-person call from I
3 farrisburg to Altoona. will cost ;
51.25; the appointment call, $1.50;]
the messenger call, $1.50 plus the!
messenger cost; the report charge, j
25 cents; the rate between 5.30 and
midnight, for a station-to-station :
call. 50 cents and between mid- i
night and 4.30 a, m.. 25 cents.
"Village Blacksmith"
Gives Way to Girls
Calgary, Sask.—"The smith a pret- '
ty girl is she, with white and dainty
hands."
It's a new version, but it (its the '
case at the Olds Agricultural Col- 1
lege, near here, where six young
women are fitting themselves to be- j
come farmerettes by taking the full |
s ourse, which includes blacksmith- |
ing.
They can be seen any day in over- j
alls and blue flannel shirts, with !
sleeves rolled up above their elbows, 1
plying the bellows and making the !
sparks fly as they swing their!
sledges on white-hot Iron on the an
vll. They fore nuts and bolts fop ;
wagons, sharpen plow shares, tool j
harvesting machinery and do all j
kinds of constructive and repair \
work necessary on a farm.
Once every week they devote a
morning to —yes—to shoeing horses. '
Picking up a horse's off hinud foot— ;
the one with the kick in it—might
be considered by some effete persons j
as their idea of zero in work for a
lady, but these girls do It with neat
ness and dispatch.
.Another's Wife's Kiss
"Cruelty," Says Court

woman kisses a married man does It
constitute cruelty against her hus
band?

Is suing George Fry, automobileman,
for divorce.
In his cross complaint Fr yaccused
his wife of cruelty, saying that she
had kissed Jack Sharp, prominent
man of San FTancisco, and married.
Mrs. Fry sought to have this strick
en from his cross complaint, declar
ing it did not constitute cruelty.
