increased from S75 to 525 and the

IL is almost inconceivabIe that nv
making an actual count it was fo,,nd
that there was an average of 5.1O4 tele-
phone calls made at the local Office
every twenty-four hours, and that each
operator in working day answered
no less than 542 requests for connec-
tons This is a wonderful record whom
1t is taken into consideration the con
slant delays, the busy lines and tho
parties that do not respond, all of |
which requires extra attention.
The toll work done in Gary, however. |
IS even more remarkable But few
cities touch Gary in the number of |
long distance calls, no matter what the |
number OF their telephones installed
may be. In the average call per phone
the Steel City is far in the lead. Every
lour of the day there is an average of
10 toll calls put in, most of which
are to Hammond and Chicago. With
only seven toll lines in operation at

been rendered in this city is most re- 1

Johnson NEEDS WATCHING.

The denomination Of Governor
Johnson by the democrats of Minneso-
ia and much against his will is intend
ed to boost the efforts which the ma
tional leaders will make to carry Min
nesota for Bryan. Johnson unques-
tionably is popular in Minnesota. He
was elected when Roosevelt carried the
state and gained tremendous popular
ity, resulting in national prominence
because of the fact, altho his success
was much more of protest against
republican misrule and corruption
than it was tribute to his person
atty.
However, John Johnson is name
to conjure with in Minnesota. 1t lost
none of it's charms when he figured in
the newspapers and magazines as
presidential possibility and it will poll
lots of votes for the national ticket in
Minnesota 1t is one of the moves in
the political game which will keep
somebody busy in Hitchcock's office.
1t should receive the attention it de-
serves.
