MAY STOP DELIVERY OF
KILOGRAMS BY PHONE.
Telegraph Companies in Trouble,
Messages Are Received by
Wrong People.

Because OF some mistakes and embar-
raising situations which have arisen
through the practice Of the Postal and
Western Union Companies transmitting
kilograms over the telephone. the
method which was established last sum-
mer viii likely be discontinued except
In rural districts.
The idea of sending telegrams by
phone instead OF by messenger, the COM
panies say, was not with the object OF
economy. but to give quicker service.
But there have been many complaints
and one law suit.
One OF the complaints had to DO with
a message about a family affair. The
message was received by a maid who
promptly told her best friend. It was
not long before all the servants knew
the exact situation In the household.
Persons who favor secrecy for social
or business kilograms are the ones who
are complaining.

at the New Harper at noon. 1t was
stated that Muscatine stood ready to
take S125 900 worth of bonds and that
Aledo and the people living along the
proposed route would buy heavily. The
