(United Press Correspondent) Brussels, Belgium, Feb. 23.—Cen- turies of spade and pioneer labor, performed by millions of tillers of the sail throughout the ages, had made .of Flanders in 1914 one of the richest agricultural provinces in the world. In foar years of war the re- ult of all those centuries of labor as annihilated. The wiping-out of such an extensive region, with all its vast agricultural resources, was unprecedented in history. The centers of the war zone liere were Ypres, Furnes, Dixmude, Os- tend and Courtrai. The districts of Ypres and Furnes, the richest agri- cultural lands, containing 215,000 acres of land, 68 villages, three towns and an agricultural population of over ninety thousand. Of the land, 160,000 acres were arable and 55,00p pasture. never hits the same person twic Anyway, they never feel it only onc After that they are immune, what- ever that means, w ow ~ Give Fancy a Chance “Why do girls close their eyes while | being kissed?” asks a Chicago editor. | No doubt but that they can then ima, ine the man of their dreams is hold- ing them.

We orice heard of a dear old lady who seemed always to “enjoy” poor health. Her customary greeting was “Are you folks still sick?” instead of “Are they well?” She always had some advice as to a B “splendid medicine,” no matter what the ailment. Something she could recommend personally. In fact, it seemed to be a pas- time with her to try first one fearful con- coction—then another equally as noxious. Had she given the doctor a chance, he perhaps would have stopped her “medi- Or if she had needed, medicine to help nature give her a brighter outlook on life, the doctor would have written a prescription which would have gone to the source of-the trouble—not to the superficial manifestations of it. 217 3rd St. Barker THE DRUGGIST Phone 34 TELEPHONE COMPANY COMMENGES - COURT PROCEEDINGS In an order dated February 9, 1921, the Minnesota Railroad and Warehouse Commis- sion denied our application for increased rates. We regret very much that an appeal to the court is necessary in order to protect the in- terests of the telephone users, the telephone em- ] ployees and the telephone investors’ revenue if we are to meet the requirements of the public for service, and court action is the only chan- nel now open to us. . Ip denying an increase in rates the Com- mission made no finding as to whether or not this Company is receiving sufficient revenue to meet the requirements- of the public for serv- ice and provide a fair return to investors in the business. in spite of the fact that The Commission’s action was taken it had information, veri- fied by its own experts, which showed conclu- sively that this Company’s revenues fall far short of its needs. During the year 1920 the expenses of this Company in Minnesota exceeded its revenues by more than $300,000. The stockholders were compelled to stand this loss in addition to the fact that nothing was earned to pay them a re- turn on their investment. Furthermore, oper- ating expenses now are higher than a year ago :md will result in a much greater loss in 1921 if present rates are continued.
