smoker Much EaIoyed.
| An interesting session was The
smoker held at . o'clock Thursday
night. The paper prepared By
Charles Z, Hickman, on the Carly
History Of the Independents Around
clarkfISurg, was read, Its subject
was handled in an allie and intefest-
ing manner. Several members Of
the convention made ;mpromptu
speeches.,
The convention was marked by its
spirit of good Fellowship and lack 81
rigid fornlality.
Some difficulty was experienced ii
calling the convention to order F,ri-
day morning, presumably on account
Of the late adjournment of the
smoker session Thursday night. It
was 10 o'clock before sufieient
number OF members had appeared
to warrant the resumption OF the
program.

He emphasized the value Of courtesy
and careful attention on the part OF
the long distance department in
handling calls.

the subject, The sublicensee. ar.
Doudna defined sublieensee CONF

one who leases or rents for a stfpu-
lated amount, for certain time.
from one who has already leased
from another, Is sub-licensee or Is
sub-licensing from the license him
self.
THE days of the sublicensee CONF
pany, he went on, ARE almost over,
since the former sub7licensee nov
buys his instruments outright, in-
stead of paying for them over ana
over again, as was the case in times
past under the licensing system. :
