"SANDSTONE CENTER OF THE WORLD" HP \ ;^ PHONE RULING MADE BY STATE PHONE INSTALLATION CHARGES DISCONTINUED—SMALL TRANSFER CHARGE. "DRY" LUNCHEON HELD AT ELYRIA SUNDAY Order Affects Amherst Telephone Co. —Allowed to Charge Three Months in Advance. A luncheon given by the W. C. T. U. of Blyrla was held at the M. E. church there Sunday afternoon. More than 20 workers of the county were present The luncheon was planned by Mrs. Nellie Hill, campaign secretary of the Lorain County Dry federation. Madame Bartlett sang several solos snd talks were given by L. A. Fauver of Lorain, J. D. Yocum of Oberlls> Rev. Winters and Mrs. Hill of Elyria. A short address was given by J. F. Burke, called the fighting editor. After a careful investigation by the public utilities commission of Ohio, a new rule of trunsfer charges has been made und the Installation charge for telephone service has been discontinued. The charge tor installation was at first from $6 to $16, und then cut by the government to a minimum of $3.50. The amjftint was charged whether it was a new subscriber or a trunsfer. • The telephone companies of Ohio urgued that they were charging no more than tbe actual cost of labor for installing, and that they were compelled to inuke tbe charge because plumes Installed were taken out on an average within two years. It is the opinion of the commission tbat tbe us sessiug of uny portion of such charge agulnst the subscriber would have a tendency to restrict the development, of the plant, but aside from that, it is the business of the telephone corn- puny to furnish service to all who may apply for it, within the sphere of its operations, and to provide tbe instrumentalities necessary to enable it to do so. That expense is capitalized, und upon its capitalization the company is entitled to earn a return. In private business, those who serve the public are constantly seeking new customers, by advertisements, by per onal solicitation, and by other methods, and no one would think of imposing un initial charge on a new customer iu order to relieve the long-time customers. Holding these points iu view, the commission hus ordered the charge for installation discontinued. Transfer Charged to Subscriber. Transfers of telephones from on<! room to another, or from one building lo another, will be charged for at a rate suggested by the utilities commission, as follows: For moving instrument from one location to another In the same room , $1.00 For moving Instrument from one room to another ou same floor. 1.60 For moving instrument from one floor of a building to anther 2.00 For changes, other than those specified, when made on request of the subscriber, actual cost of labor und material, but for a similar service, not to exceed the charges herein specified. . The change look effect Oct. 1, 1919. Allow Three Months' Advance Charge. The telephone companies, if they so elect, are allowed'to establish u regulation thut subscribers shall pay three months' rental in advance, whicfc payment shall not be subject to rebate in the event t>f the discontinuance of service by the subscriber within three mouths following the date of the Installation of the service. The new ruling of the utilities com mission affects the Amherst Telephone company und local subscriber!',, und went, into effect Oct. 1. STARKWEATHER HOME. A. C.

DOOTH TO GIVE FAREWELL SERMON Both Churches to Hesr Last Sermon Before Pastor Lesves for New Charge at Lima. A 8TATEMENT. Notwithstanding the announcement made last week that I am not a candidate for the office of mayor, it Is learned that efforts are still being made to have my name "written In" on the ballots at the November, election. With two such candidates as J. J. Smythe and E. E. Foster in the field, voters have splendid opportunity to secure a good man for mayor, and I would respectfully ask that one of them be given any votes which might have been headed my way. E. A. LITTLE. Rev. Kyle Booth will deliver his farewell sermon at the Congregational church next Sunday morning. The Methodist church has been invited to attend and will march in a body to the church after meeting at the Methodist church. The M. E. Sunday school will conduct its last separate service before tbe merger of tbe two churches takes place. Rev.

The Amherst high school football team lost to Huron'last Saturday ijf- ternoon at Brandt's park, 6 to 0. The officials of th'c Amherst team found out afterward that Huron used un ineligible man, against the rules of the Ohio High School Athletic association. The matter will probably be taken up with the board of control, and Huron may be punished in some way. The man Huron used was at tackle, the only place Huron could gain through the line, leading to the conclusion that If Huron hail used only eligible men Amherst probably would have won. Huron Line Weak. Schlbley and Belden were able to go through Huron's line nearly every time they attempted It, with the aid of splendid Interference. Amherst was weak on the defensive at end, but the remainder of the line held firm, especially around center, where Edwards played a spectacular game. Heusser and Newsberry also played well In the line. m Forward passes worked well for Amherst in tlje last quarter. Hearn being able to grab nearly every one thrown. After Huron hud made her touchdown, Amherst gained 50 yards In about three minutes, and it looked tor a time as If the score would be tied. Huron's Touchdown. Huron made her only touchdown on a fumble. Schlbley had the ball and was in position to pass when the Amherst defense gave way und a Huron man tackled him In u way that knocked the ball from bis arms. Before the Amherst players could get track of the ball a Huron man was 'own the field 20 yards nnd going fast. I! was a tough game to lose. POPULAR COUPLE WEDDED TODAY MISS ALMA B.

Since the I'nited States has taken over the islands, however, the people wear the same style of clothes us other civilized countries. In regain! tO the lungiiage. he stated there nre several different dialects spoken, but IhejT all Originated from the same alphabet, which consists of l.'l letters. The origin of the llawallans is not known exactly even by the Hawaiian*. themselves, but they believe they are descended either from Eskimos or from the Jews. Before the annexation by the I'nited States, the people were ignorant they had no schools, they worshipped idols, and wore the clothing of an uncivilized race. Now everything has been changed, Education now Is compulsory. The prevailing religion is the Catholic belief, but there were ulso many Protestants Honolulu, the largest city and the capital of the islands, has paved streets, electric cars, large buildings and is :i thoroughly up to dute city. There ure more iiutoniobiles than in any other city of Its size in the world. Every other family owns a Ford. And the speaker said Amherst was the best little town he hud been In for a long time.

PHONE RULING
MADE BY STATE
PHONE INSTALLATION CHARGES
DISCONTINUED—SMALL
TRANSFER CHARGE.
"DRY" LUNCHEON HELD
AT ELYRIA SUNDAY
Order Affects Amherst Telephone Co.
—Allowed to Charge Three Months
in Advance.
A luncheon given by the W. C. T. U.
of Blyrla was held at the M. E. church
there Sunday afternoon. More than
20 workers of the county were present
The luncheon was planned by Mrs.
Nellie Hill, campaign secretary of the
Lorain County Dry federation.
Madame Bartlett sang several solos
snd talks were given by L. A. Fauver
of Lorain, J. D. Yocum of Oberlls> Rev.
Winters and Mrs. Hill of Elyria. A
short address was given by J. F.
Burke, called the fighting editor.
After a careful investigation by the
public utilities commission of Ohio, a
new rule of trunsfer charges has been
made und the Installation charge for
telephone service has been discontinued. The charge tor installation was
at first from $6 to $16, und then cut
by the government to a minimum of
$3.50. The amjftint was charged
whether it was a new subscriber or a
trunsfer. •
The telephone companies of Ohio
urgued that they were charging no
more than tbe actual cost of labor for
installing, and that they were compelled to inuke tbe charge because
plumes Installed were taken out on an
average within two years. It is the
opinion of the commission tbat tbe us
sessiug of uny portion of such charge
agulnst the subscriber would have a
tendency to restrict the development,
of the plant, but aside from that, it is
the business of the telephone corn-
puny to furnish service to all who
may apply for it, within the sphere of
its operations, and to provide tbe instrumentalities necessary to enable it
to do so. That expense is capitalized,
und upon its capitalization the company is entitled to earn a return.
In private business, those who serve
the public are constantly seeking new
customers, by advertisements, by per
onal solicitation, and by other methods, and no one would think of imposing un initial charge on a new customer iu order to relieve the long-time
customers. Holding these points iu
view, the commission hus ordered the
charge for installation discontinued.
Transfer Charged to Subscriber.
Transfers of telephones from onf the discontinuance
of service by the subscriber within
three mouths following the date of the

A.CS.WALK AWAY
WITH GROVES

WIN 27 TO 0— PLAY FAVORITE
• KNITS SUNDAY HERE.
The Amherst A. C. walked all over
the Gorves A. C. of Lorain al Brandt's
park last Sunday, winning by a score
of 27 to 0. The Groves recently reorganised, combing the former droves
and the Mnrman A. ('.. thinking they
would have one Invincible team. The
Amherst game was the first the Groves
have played this year. They were unlucky, however, because Amherst re
fused to give an Inch throughout the
game, and played on the offensive1 all
the time. The added strength of the
locals was found In Itelnh.irt kicking
three goals out of four. This was the
point where Amherst has been weal-
in former games.
Divide Touchdowns.
The honor of making touchdowns
was divided among three of the bacV-
fleld men and one end. Uruee. Hones,
Brucker and Hnffiiei- making the
points.
In the second quarter or the game
Coach Kreeger played all second team
men, so as to give every one a chance.
They showed well against the Groves.
Bruce and Hoffner starred, while the
rest of the team played well and deserve great credit for their victory.

Cohen Favorite Knits of Cleveland,
one of the strongest teams in the big
city. The game starts at 2:110 p. m.

FAREWELL SERMON
Both Churches to Hesr Last Sermon
Before Pastor Lesves for New
Charge at Lima.
A 8TATEMENT.
Notwithstanding the announcement
made last week that I am not a candidate for the office of mayor, it Is
learned that efforts are still being
made to have my name "written In"
on the ballots at the November, election. With two such candidates as
J. J. Smythe and E. E. Foster in the
field, voters have splendid opportunity
to secure a good man for mayor, and
I would respectfully ask that one of
them be given any votes which might
have been headed my way.
E. A. LITTLE.
Rev. Kyle Booth will deliver his
farewell sermon at the Congregational
church next Sunday morning. The
Methodist church has been invited to
attend and will march in a body to
the church after meeting at the Methodist church. The M. E. Sunday
school will conduct its last separate
service before tbe merger of tbe two
churches takes place.
Rev. Booth has been a faithful pastor of the Congregational church for
the last two years and his congregation is sorry to lose him. Outside of
the church he has always been a
booster In the community and in all
community affairs.
At the service Sunday there will be
special music by the Congregational
church choir, and all members of the
two churches are Invited to attend.
The following Sunday will be the
first of the new merger, Rev. A. A.
Hunter, paator of the combined church,
to occupy the pulpit. The Sunday
schools also have decided to unite, and
later on an Epwortb league will be
started for the young people.
HURON U8ES INELIGIBLE MAN,
OFFICIAL8 DICOVER AFTER
GAME END8.
The Amherst high school football
team lost to Huron'last Saturday ijf-
ternoon at Brandt's park, 6 to 0. The
officials of th'c Amherst team found
out afterward that Huron used un ineligible man, against the rules of the
Ohio High School Athletic association.
The matter will probably be taken up
with the board of control, and Huron
may be punished in some way. The
man Huron used was at tackle, the
only place Huron could gain through
the line, leading to the conclusion that
If Huron hail used only eligible men
Amherst probably would have won.
Huron Line Weak.
Schlbley and Belden were able to
go through Huron's line nearly every
time they attempted It, with the aid
of splendid Interference. Amherst
was weak on the defensive at end, but
the remainder of the line held firm,
especially around center, where Edwards played a spectacular game.
Heusser and Newsberry also played
well In the line. m
Forward passes worked well for
Amherst in tlje last quarter. Hearn being able to grab nearly every one
thrown. After Huron hud made her
touchdown, Amherst gained 50 yards
In about three minutes, and it looked
tor a time as If the score would be
tied.
Huron's Touchdown.
Huron made her only touchdown on
a fumble. Schlbley had the ball and
was in position to pass when the Amherst defense gave way und a Huron
man tackled him In u way that
knocked the ball from bis arms. Before the Amherst players could get
track of the ball a Huron man was
'own the field 20 yards nnd going fast.
I! was a tough game to lose.
