M'NUTT CHAIRMAN Dairy Products Are Needed to Build Up Bodies of French People Following Long Period of Suffering.

Mrs. Levis McNutt, chairman of the Clay County Committee for Relief of Devastated France, received telegram this morning from Nefl York, containing an urgent appeal to the people of Clay County for assistance in the way of food for the war sufferers of wartorn France. The National Committee has sent out an appeal for 100 cows and asks Clav Conntv to heln in securing thnt i number. The French people, emerging from four years of war and untold suffer ing as a result of war, are in dire circumstances, no so much because of the lack of food, but because of the lack of dairy products and the things that go to build up the emaciated bodies of the elderly men and women and children as well. In the whole of France formerly occupied part, are probably not as many cows as there are right in Clay county today, the Germans havlnk taken the cattle and what were not used by the army were transported to Germany.

Mrs. Nutt stated this afternoon that an effort is being made tp secure assistance for the French peo pie in Clay County and that in the very near future plans for securing a car load of cattle, poultry, dairy products, for early shipment. will be announced. There are many, many farmers in Clay County can afford to cause. Those who cannot sive cow can give money to apply on the purchase price of the same.

The good people of Clay County should not forget that while their own tables, are well supplied with the products of the farm, such as fresh beef, frseh butter, eggs, poultry, the bravo French people are suffering, for the want of thesr This movement should not be confused with any other movement that may hare been started for the feeding of the starving people of Europe.

HAYS TO TALK OK COL ROOSEVELT C1LMRFAN OF REPU BLICAN NAT-j IONAti COMMITTEE WILD DELIVER MEMORIAL? IN INDIANAPOLIS. ADDRESS STATE LEGISLATURE INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. S.

Will H. Hays, chairman of the Re- publican national committee, who is to be ihe guest of the Columbia Club at luncheon Saturday, has telegraphed John C. RuckelPhaus, president 5 EFFECT OF PIOIIE RATES NFW TFI.LPlIONEf TOLLS APPE.IR TO BE RASED ON' THE SERVICE DEMANDED BY THE PUBLIC. MANY CHANGES ARE NOTED Rate. Do Not Affect County 'All Line to Any Extend Many Cluuiges Favor the Subscribers.

A Times representative in an interview with John G. II. Klingler, of the Citizens' Telephone company, this morning, gleaned many inter-rating: points on tho working of the nov telephone tariff3 under government control. A enreful observation of the rew tariffs show that there are that benefit the subscriber and ajrain there nre changes that benefit the telephone companies. Summing the changes up it appearr that under government control the subscriber and patrons of the telephone companies are required to pay according to the service demanded The old rate to Terre Haute for a conversation of three minutes was 13 cents.

Under the new tariff it is possible to talk for five ir'nv. cs for 13 cents. This new rato applies to "station to station" that in, when one calls a number nml then talks to his or her party without informing the operator as to the party desired. Vhen a person to person is sent in, th rate is 20 cents for five minutes, the extra fve cents being charged for ihe extra service which must be Fiven in order to call the number and then ret the party desired on the wire. One of the changes that beneV the companies is that of a charge o' 10 cents which is made when the called cannot be located.

Fre- v'cusly operators would spend lor able time attempting to locate pirtics called and whsn they could net be located the subscriber would bo fo notified and no charge made. A prominent local citizen, who has to register long distance calls, was heard to remark as "I believe this charge is jvst. Operators spend corsid-erably time in attempts to locate pnrties and it seems only right that pay should be demanded for this ser vice rendered. Frequently parties secure the information desired in an iniroct way through these calls and without charge." The IndianapoTs rate under the new iariiT is 4 0 cents for three minute. A night Tale' enables one to c.nrry on a five minute conversation to IndianapoMs for 25 cents after tho heirs ct 8:20.

This night rate is abo it one half the day rate. It not; possible to talk to Chicag" between the hours of and 12 p. m. fcr 35 cents and between the hours of 1 2 and 4 a. a conversation may be had for three minutes for 3 3 cents.

When asked how the new tariffs rffect county toll lines, Mr. Klingler raid: Is but very little change in the toll line rates and v. hat changes nave been made benefit the subscribers and patrons. On trunk linc3 of less than s'x miles in length the rate is a cents fcr 5 minutes, while under the oH rate it was 5 cents for three min-uirs. This rate of course applies to tb 'station to station' call, or when no certain party is requested.

On tr ink lines over 6 miles and up to 12 miles the rate is 10 cents for five minutes and an additional charp of 3 cents Is made for each r.dditional eight miles."

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 6. By a margin of two votes the Indiana House of Representative yesterday approved the provision of highway commission bill as originally drawn, placing all money derived from automobile license fees in the hands of the proposed commission. The test came after the submission of a majority and first arm second minority reports of the roads committee. The members of the committee, with one exception, were in agreement upon all other provisions and amendments to the measure.

While there is a possibility of amending the "bill on second or third reading to exclude the present automobile fund provision, the vole in the House in the first brush between the supporters and the opponents of effective state highway legislation is regarded as fairly indicative of the way the final lineup will be in the lower branch. In the vote to substitute the first minority report for the majority report, placing the automobile tax in the hands of the highway commis sion, tne House dividea between state and county pride. All those who advocated, the retention of the automobile licenses by the counties presented figures to show how much money their counties were receiving from this source and how much ther would lose by turning the fund over Representative" Winesbtrrg mad one of the most spirited speeches in defense of the proposal to turn automobile tax funds over to the state commission, appealing to state price as opposed to the selfishness of the counties. Says Counties Waste Funds. "The majority of the money now turned back to tho counties is waited," he declared, "in patching up roads.

The time has come to put a stop to this waste, place the money in the hands of the state and so obtain good roads of which Indiana may he proud. We should be broad enough to up our selfish county views and put the money from th automobile taes where it will do the most gcod." Representative Swain and Grei also made pleas for better state roads and less county waste. "We need a broader principle in the handling of our road problems than can re in the county unit pTan," said Mr. Swain. "This is a reconstruction bill, Mr.
