You know it can't be done, and it seems ridiculous to mention it. We agree with you, yet it is no more ridiculous than to attempt to operate the telephone company on rates that will not pay operating expenses. Also, the amount of money required to operate the telephone two or three years ago is not enough to pay for present day operation. Wages have been increased, the cost of everything that goes into telephone construction has about doubled. To meet these increases the telephone company must charge rates which correspond with all the other increases. The telephone is operated for your service. We want to make it serve you in the best possible manner. This can't be done without fair rates.. .

' Chicago. Dec 15. Strength developed in the corn market today swing largely to a notable advance in sterling exohange. The close was firm, o to 1 Ho net higher, with January. $1.86, and May, $1.12 01.83. Oats gained le to l'4c. In provisions the outcome varied from 2c decline to a rise of 30c. Upward awingi of the corn market showed their greatest force- around the opening and the close, especially during the last 15 minutes. Knowledge or the Dig jump In sterling was well circulated be fore me opening ana naa an immeaiace re sponse. For a while, however, buying lacked volume, and eoon there was a transient set back in nrlces to - below Sat urday's finish. Liberal receipts and a pre diction that the crop movement would In crease were more or less responsible. Later another dip followed announcement that wartime prohibition would stand. Then the rising tendency ot the market became again apparent, and with the help of en larged call for oats, barley and other feed was conttnuoua to the end or the session. Oats were strengthened by the strortage of feed barley In the northwest, and by the sharp reduotton of the amount of acre age devoted to wheat apd rye. Provisions averaged Higher, affected somewhat by sterling. FINANCIAL Price movements during today's desul tory session of the stock exchange were mainly downward, despite further moder ate Improvement of the international ex change situation and more hopeful signs in domestic Industrial conditions.
