Procuring fc9 Harder Times.
(Ea!eiGEh ETening Times.)

We think the railroads are making
g most serious mistake in stopping
all improvements, for in tie end the
railroads will suffer forit. How can
thcGailroa3s expect TO handle TIE bus
mess unless they make the proper
preparation for &oingso In some SEC
lions Ct tie country it is very difficult
to handle the business st the present
time on g single track and TO stop the
work Of 9olib|c-traclsing will make It
just that much harder FOR the rail
roads g few years hence. There is
one thing certain, when freight is Of
ferej the roads must handle it or
pay the shipper 10, failure to do so.
We are a. loss to see what is to be
gained By retres1chmcnt when many
Of the roads have already retrenched
until they are in very POOR condi-
tons.

What Central Says.

The Hello girls suggest the fol-
lowing rules for telephone subscrib-
ers:
If you have a phone in your office
or store. call up central and then
go wait on a customer.
Take your time in answering your
bell, or what is better do not answer
it at all, but in about a half hour
ring up and ask who called you and
get mad if central has forgotten
who it was. She has nothing TO do
but remember.
Hang your receiver big end up as in
this way it gets full of dust.
Bang the transmitter with a lead
pencil as though you Intended TO
knock in through the wall. This In
yariably makes it talk better.
When through talking drop the re-
ceiver or throw it down. This allows
the batteries to run out and break the
strands in the receiver cord.
Open the generator box With a
knife or an axe and take a look at
things. If the interior does not look
right pull out Il few wires and leave
the door open. This improves the
service wonderfully.
Throw a metal ink stand, etc, on
top of the telephone which will short
circuit your instrument, then go to
sleep and no one a call you.
Never ring off" when through
talking, as that would notify ''cen-
trail" you had finished. Let her guess
at it. Never speak kindly to the
operator as she is more used to being
called names.
If the party you call does not ans
wer put the blame on ''central.'
Paste this Oh your telephone for u
ture reference. -HaWarden Chronicle.
