Your Treatment of Central.

1t is no temper-soothing job which
the telephone operator holds. She is
held responsible not only for her
own mistakes, but for the thousands
of mistakes made by other people.
You carelessly call for 1895 and be-
cause you get the wrong party you
petulantly blame the fool operator"
and upon your severely informing her
that she gave you 1885 when you ask
ed for 1906, and that if she ever does
it again you will make complaint
against her, you feel sighted because
she does not say thank you" You
roughly jar your telephone and your
nerves if she does not answer instant
ly; you think she is teasing you VIXEN
she tells you that the line you want
is busy; and perhaps you more than
half suspect she is listening to all
you say over the line.
She is sadly misjudged girl. Her
work is difficult and her errors mar
velously few. She has no time for
unnecessary words, though she is as
polite as the public will permit her
to be. She knows that you never
think of her service except when it
goes wrong; and never speak except
to knock" Yet she patiently does
the best she can for you, and that is
often better than you deserve.-Du
range Democrat.

country, do you remember some
few years ago when you were CON-
PEELED to sell your beets to the
American Beet Sugar company ex-
clusively? Then the local COM
pany took hold of the situation and
helped out by giving you competi-
ton, and forcing the parent COM
pany to adopt many features OF the
business that you considered just.
In fact, you conldn't have a CON-
pany whose business rules were
more to your liking if you owned
it yourself, could you, than the
Holly Sugar company? Do you
think you are treating the capital
that built factory right when you
90 back to the American Beet Su-
gar company and neglect your
home industry? Of course, there
will be enough beets raised next
year for the Holly factory if you
don't raise them, but what incent-
i've is there for the capitalist to
help build up your community
when you ignore him? How much
would your land be worth today if
this independent.sugar house had
not been built in your midst?
Some farmers are complaining
that the Holly Sugar comgany
was reluctant to take their beets
this year on account Of the low
percentage of saccharine matter.
1t is true that the company is los
ing money on these beets, which
test only fraction above IL per-
cent on an average. Mr.. Wiley in
formed US last week that he made
an offer to an eastern concern to
sell hundreds of tons of molasses
that was SO low grade that even
the Steffens process would not ex-
tract sugar at SO per ton less than
it had cost the company. 1t has
been unfortunate that the farmers
were not able to control the mois-
ture last year when they had enuf,
and it may be that this will never
occur again. Anyway, the farmer
should bear with the company in
its trials and not get excited over
trifles.
