BRYAN SEES NEW ISSUE.

Toronto, Ont, May 17.-William
Jennings Bryan said here yesterday
regarding the Standard Oil decision:
This decision is likely to make the
trust question more of an issue than
it has been in recent years. While
on the face of it the decision seems
a victory for the government it viz
tually amends the antitrust law by
constituting it to prohibit, not all re-
straint of trade, but only such re-
straint as the courts, after each
lengthy litigation, may decide to be
unreasonable"

Waldo Telephone Company and is doing
it well. In the accounting Office, on the
third floor, will be found Miss Ella l.
Smalley, but you will have to make big
noise to attract her attention, for she is
too busy to notice your entrance. 1t is
said of her, that she really loves to work,
and that it has been necessary to take
away her keys to the office to prevent
her from working overtime. She is a
recent employee, but she does not intend
to let that handicap her.
All in all we believe that the Waldo
Telephone Company have fine quarters
and we hope that they will have the sue
cess which ought to come with pleasant
surroundings, for it is a recognized fact
that better work is done with the sun
shining into pleasant room than could
be dore under adverse conditions.
We recognize the Importance of good
telephone service, and hope to see de-
velopment in Waldo county as great as is
predicted by the most sanguine enthusi-
asst.

FOR the American Telephone and Tele-

1husiastic workers have been developing
every part of the whole country, and it

that they have not done this honestly
and we'll and that they do not deserve
great credit in bringing all telephone
users under one complete system, which
allows each subscriber to talk with all
other subscribers at all times.
Few of US realize what constant care
is required in order to furnish satisfac-
tory service to telephone patrons, there
are so many opportunities for things to
go wrong. The occupation of telephone
operator is generally regarded as light
and easy employment, as it does not re-
quire hard mental, or physical exertion;
yet the work is very tryingat times. A
great deal of nervous strain comes on an

Hayes. This young lady entered the en-
ploy of the New England Telephone and

and was early recognized as one having
no small amount Of executive ability.
Since being raised to the position of
chief operator she has discharged her
duty in such way that she has secured
the respect and regard of those under
her charge, and she has shown the SUBJ
scribers that no matter is too small to re-

not always polite in making their de-

a girl if she were present; as she is the
only part of the mechanism they feel
sure of, they charge all annoyances to

The fact that this remarkable increase

POTATO COMBINE PROPOSED.
Aroostook County Growers Seek to Gov
ern Production, Circumvent Spectators,
and Utilize Crops in off Seasons.

AfOOStOOk IOunty SfONeIS Seek TO GOv-
ern Production, Circumvent Spectators,
and Utilize Crops in off Seasons.
\ The leading potato growers of Aroos-
took county are contemplating the for
nation of combination to govern the
production and output of the tubers, with
especial attention given to the distilla-
ton of potato spirits. The proposed
combination is expected also to take
action as result of the recent cancella-
ton of fire insurance policies by num-
Der of insurance companies on account
of several disastrous fires in potato store
houses.
These growers, after the losses sus-
tanned by them during the past two
years, feel that there should be some
sort of an organization among them
which would tend to secure a good mar
ket for their products. They look upon
the potato "speculators" as the bane of
their existence. At present the ''specu-
lators" are pretty numerous in the pota-
to country. The growers claim that by
clever dickering, the Spectators force
down prices to the loss of the growers.
The proposed organization of the growers
is planned on the lines of the tobacco
raisers' organization in Kentucky, al
though the Aroostook men declare that
they will not indulge in nightriding or
other similar coercive tactics.
There is considerable talk among the
Aroostook potato growers of sending a
delegation of their associates to Sweden
to investigate the distillation of potato
spirits. The Swedes have found method
of distillation that results in the produc-
ton of spirit that may be used in the
operation of automobiles. The local
growers believe that if they can find sat-
method of distilling potato
spirits they can make a profit out of
their crops in off-seasons.
