IS BEST PROOF OF
SYSTEMS EFFICIENCY
Hours From 9 to II O'Clock. Found
To Be Busiest Ones-Cessation
From IL to Telephone Helps
the Business Man, the Farmer and
the Housewife.

This is the day of the peg count"
at the Hammond exchange of the Chi
cago Telephone company
To the average subscriber the word
peg count" has no Importance, but
to the operator and the telephone com
pany it is of great consequence. 1t is
the day on which is kept record of
all calls sent through the exchange for
the purpose of calculating efficiency
Of force and equipment.
From the perforated board in which
peg is moved from hole to hole with
each succeeding call, the method Of
counting derives its technical name
peg count. At regular intervals dur
ing the day the chief operator takes
this record showing the number of
calls handled by each operator or at
each operators position. Through
this record, officials in charge of the
exchange determine whether or not
certain operators are overworked and
whether or not wires should be
changed to more equally distribute the
work among the operating force.
Basing the information on the peg
count Of Feb. 3rd, a month ago, it Is
found that approximately $4,000 calls
are sent through the Hammond ex-
change each twenty -four hours This
is exclusive of toll calls.
Busy Time from TO IL.
What is the busy period at the teIe-
phone exchange?'
| It Is between and II o'clock in the
morning, when the housewife is or
/ dering her groceries and the business
man is attending to his morning routine

o'clock in the afternoon, when the
afternoons business is under way
when the lady Of the house is calling
up her friends for a short converse
ton?
1t is generally conceded in teIe-
phone circles that the heavy rushes are
/ to be expected at these periods, and
where there are large number of resi-
dence telephones between Z and p m
in the evening
Telephone calls from hour to hout
in manner surprising to the mar
not in the business. From to 10 a
m. it is found that more calls ar,
received by the operators at the ex
change than during any other hour
Business men are calling their patrons
residents are calling their offices an,
the housewife is placing orders for sup
plies for the day. According to tn
peg count. the general telephone bust
ness OF the community is transacte,

IL Cessation from IL to 1 O'Clock.
A cessation of calls is noted during

line scraps and others were cases in
which assaults had been provoked or
committed, and did not amount to any
thing.
While most of the cases are unim-
portant, others are connected with in
cidents that are still fresh in the mem
ory of the public For instance, the
case against John Marich was among
those which were dismissed. March,
together with Zurich, was held in con-
nection with the famous Servian riots
at Gary, in which three foreigners
were killed, and one of the Gary police
men was shot, but afterwards recov-
cred. John D. Wright swore out the
warrant in this case, but nothing was
ever done about it.
Now that Attorney Greenwald has
taken the bull by the horns and has
wiped out over half Of the cases on
the docket, he will watch the others
carefully and will have them disposed
Of as quickly as possible.
1t is estimated that the county will
be saved nearly a thousand dollars in
court expenses by the dismissing OF
these cases.

Board Holds Session.

The board of public works went into
session this morning, but transacted
no business. 1t heard the clerks report
on the advance of price on iron pipe,
this report having been secured by
order OF the city council last evening
which refused to approve contract
between the board and the Lynchburg
Foundry company for a consignment Of
pipe. The advance in price is consid-
cred by the board to be a vindication
in entering into the contract.

in banking this year is the fact that
in spite of the big crop very little
money has been received from the
east. The opinion of number of
bankers is that time is fast approach
ing when North Dakota will be able
to handle it's crops each fall without
calling on the east for cent of mon
ey. This is only another indication
Of the remarkable financial progress
of the northwest and North Dakota
in particular.
In speaking of the situation we'll
known banker after calling atten-
ton to the above fact, said:
"A few years ago the farms in
North Il ID Ra 5ss9ei #ere heavily mortgag-
the notes and interest were made
payable in the fall, the farmer was
forced to rush his crop to the market
and take the prevailing price. The
good crops of the past few years
have done much to do away with this
condition and North Dakota farmers
are passing from tho mortgage state
to financial position where they
are able to hold their crops and sell
when it suits them. This fact has
done away In some measure with the
annual fall rush and the business
instead Of being concentrated in a
month is gradually being spread out
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1909-10-05

so as to cover the entire year. do
not mean to say that the mortgages
on North Dakota farms are by any
means paid off. There is still lot
of eastern money placed on farm
mortgages in this state, but hundreds
of farms which few years ago were
mortgaged to the limit are now en-
tirely out of debt.
1.-THE result of this condition Is that
money which was formerly used to
pay the interest and principal on
eastern mortgages is now being kept
in local banks or invested in the
state. The final outcome of this will
surely be that the state will have
money enough Of its own to handle
the, &c 9n, The crop this year is being
.nc- Ne@.u very slowly, and for this
reason there seems to be two msin
causes. One is that I have alreadv
mentioned, that the farmers are gef.
ting more Independent and sell their
grain when they think they ais get
ting the best price. The ,othenreas-
on IS that this season there hasI been
shortage of harvest helpl5 and
threshing operations have been\ deA
layed considerable In most narts Nof
the state. Because of this caditfon
of affairs the demand of pvhtry
banks for money is being mot livery

INDIAN SUMMER.

Visitors to the city will doubtless
be impressed with the quality OF the
Indian summer weather that is be-
ing served to residents and strangers
at the city's gates. Although the In
dian has passed away largely as a
frontier relic, we have with us his
brand of summer, which was the
time when the Indian Jared forth
to hunting and found the season In
all things delightful.
Although it is far past the time
when killing frost is to be looked for,
there has been little frost and that
SO light ais to do little harm to vege-
tation. Flowers and foliage are still
green and luxuriant and green corn
is still being gotten from the gardens
of those fortunate citizens who
planted it in succession and had faith
in a late fall. The days are delight
full, warm, with that peculiar haze
that is the glory of the Indian sum-
mertide, and the nights are crisp
and exhilirating.
?, Much has been said and written
of the glories of Indian summer and
- much may be said and written with
out doing the subject justice. 1t has
neither the boisterous winds and roll
licking tendency of the winter and
spring nor the dead heat and ener-
waiting closeness of the summer, but
it has a temperatures, ripeness and
delight that is peculiarly its own
May it thrive and continue during
the month, and lend its glory to the
peyiod of registration visitation.
