Because 1t is actually means of instant con- munication, because everybody can use 1t and because 1t reaches into places inaccessible to railroad or telegraph lines, the telephone will readily be classed as the most important of the three. It has played a part in building up the new sections of the country second to that of no other agency. It is difficult to imagine what the ranch sections of the west would be without their telephone systems today. The helplessness Of any farm or town whose service is seriously crippled by storm or fire gives one an idea of the dependence of the entire country upon it's con nectons by wire.
 And this is most especially true in the west A group of western cities which includes Den yer, Dallas, Spokane, Los Angeles and Omaha, stands supreme in telephone development That is, more telephones in proportion to the popua- tion are found in these centers than in any of the big capitals of the east. In the matter of farm and ranch telephones the west is making great strides. The statement is made by the Western Electric company, manufacturer of the Bell telephones, that more than 100000 of its rural telephones were sold last year. A great proportion of these went into the west
 Along the Pacific coast and in the northwest the telephone has been used with great success to fight the spread of forest fires. The govern ment's telephone lines in the national forests have opened up tracts of land that had never before seen settler In Utah and Colorado the fruit growers use their telephone service to ward off the ravages of frost It's usefulness to all the western states has often been demon strated.

THE TELEPHONE THE FORERUNNER
 OF CIVILIZATION

Senator Clarke of Wyoming recently made a 1400-mile tri over his state in a wagon He was away from the railroads all of the time, and great deal of the time was miles from the nearest telegraph. But there was never an evening on the whole journey that he did not call up his home at Evanston by telephone
 Speaking of this personal experience with the progress of the telephone in a new country, due in large measure to the pioneer work of the telephone companies, the senator said:
 ''It shows that this western country is grow ing at an astonishing rate. It used to be that the railroad was the forerunner of civilization, but now it is the telephone. Everywhere in my state telephone lines run and in most of the branch houses one can step in and call any part of the state, as also Utah. The best there is can always be found in this western empire of ours and there is no convenience that we do not have the moment that it comes upon the market. The east, of course, is up-to-date and its people brag of what they have, but this wild vest where we live is always to the front"
 There are many other interesting examples of the importance of the telephone in the west. In the pioneer days the greatest drawbacks set tiers in the new country had to face were the tremendous distances. First came the railroads to reduce this handicap, then telegraph lines, which made possible quick communication be- tween the more important centers and, lastly, the network of telephone lines the senator found so convenient in his trip around Wyoming.

THE SMOKE-EATER
BY BRETON BRALEY

He stands in the middle of Hell an grins, Where a saamander would choke, His hides constructed of elephant skins, His diet is sulphur smoke. The throat of the brute is black as black An his lungs is similar shade, An he hasn't shirt to his swelterin' back When he's sweatin at his trade
 Eatin' the smoke,
 Eatin' the smoke,
 Eatin' the smoke with vim.
 Sometimes I kick
 At my own hard trick
 But wouldn't trade jobs with him. Where the long blast furnaces snort an roar, Or the cacine tables turn, Or out on the big converter floor He has his livin' to earn. An all he does is to play with fire The whole of the workin' day, An breathe hot smoke to his hearts desire As long as he draws his pay.
 Eatin' the smoke,
 Eatin' the smoke,
 Watchin' the hot matte glare. You wouldn't pine
 For a job like mine
 But it's better than that one there. He tramps around in arsenic dust, In sort of inferno scene; With slag-pots sputterin' fit to bust An molten copper that's green. Copper that's green an blue an red As it boils when the blast whoops through, An big cranes swingin' above his head With caldrons of molten stew.
 Eatin the smoke,
 Eatin' the smoke,
 That's what man is fer
 It's the same old song,
 Of whole life long
 ''Fer the sake of the kids an Her!"

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

If a girl couldn't find anybody else to be jeal- ous about, she would about her own brother
 When some men lend you corkscrew, they want you to return full bottle with it.
 The things we ought to know better than to do we would know if there was no fun in them.
 Doctors and philosophers seldom agree, so figure it out to suit yourself
 Some peoples morals are like their best clothes-worn only on special occasions.
 Many a man who makes bid for fame winds up with more or less questionable notoriety.
 There IS the making of good husband in every man-providing he isn't already married. Any woman can make fool of man by com plimenting him on the superior brand of wis dom he possesses.

POINTED PARAGRAPHS

Even the honest pretzel is crooked
 A compliment that isn't exaggerated seldom makes hit.
 The uncertainties of the strenuous life make it interesting.
 After burying the hatchet some men go out and dig up an axe.
 And many politician makes his mark only by throwing mud.
 If you would please your friends, keep your troubles under cover.
 When girl tells young man she hates him, it's sign that she doesn't.
 The man with noble aim in life isn't always shooting off his mouth.
