e v \\@ IsA
Out of the thousands \\ St e
of telephone calls made ‘B
daily, about ten per cent
result in a report of busy lines,
| (This enormous number of busy reports is
due largely to the fact that many subscrib
ers repeat their calls at intervals of a few
seconds. ;
Making immediate and repeated calls for
a busy line causes much unnecessary work
for the operator and is a wasteful use of
lines and equipment.
It will improve your service and help the
general service of the community if you
will wait a few minutes after receiving the
busy report before making a second call.

Washington, Feb. 12.—A salary in

to sls,ooo—was voted for Viece-Prest
dent Coolidge today by the Senate,
whieh at the same time reduces his
already small patronage rell by strik

CRISP RESISTS PLAN TO
LEVY HEAVY POTASH TAX
Washington, Feb. 12.—Nebraska in
terests appealing to the ways and
means committee of the House today
for a tariff of $5O per ton on im
ported potush‘ ran athwart Representa
tive Crisp of Georgia, who took a po
ition gn the defense of the Southern
farmer.
The argument of the domestic pot
ash corporation was considerably rid
dled by the Georgia member, hut the
[odds are that the Republicans will
eventually give them what they want.
The majority members are already
saying that they endeavored to pro
tect the peanuts of the South and that
the South should now be willing to
protect the products of other sections
of the ‘('ounh'y. ;
In this connection, Southern pro
ducers of cottonseed and peanut oils
represented to the committee today
that they could not much longer sur
vive the competition of the Orient.
Spokesmen of crushers of Alabama,
Georgia, Mississippi, Lonisiana and
Texas took direct issue with ‘the Uni
ted States tariff commission, which
had declared the lack of need of oil
protection.
Grape growers of New York state
who expected to be ruined by pro
hibiticn have heen getting as high
as $125 a ton for grapes whereas the
average price before the country
went dry is said to have been around
$25.
