This has been q year of surprises
in the American league. The dope
sters were never so far off in their
prophecies as this season. They told
us, for instance, that the Athletics
would have no trouble in sticking
around the top of the league. Where
are they? Their mournful story is
told ir the box scores, the batting
averages etc. They've lost more
games than they've won.
They told us the White Sox would
lose more games than they played, or
something TO that effect. We prepar-
ed to weep bitterly for Chicago's
hopeless fate. Now the White Sox
are III the very forefront of winning
teams and spurn our tears.
They told us the Tigers would fol-
low triumphantly at the heels of the
Athletics in second place. Now we
cant even hear the word Detroit
metioned without thinking of shrouds
and stretchers.
They told US the season babe fair
to be a most profitable one. Every
team in the league, except Chicago
has lost money.
All of which goes to prove that if
prophets haven't any honor in their
own country they don't deserve it.

THAT NINETY-TNO
CENT PAVEMENT
The Cedar Falls Job Has Attracted
Much Attentions a Two
Pour Job.

The bid of 80 cents per square
yard for concrete paving in Cedar
Falls has created much speculation
over the state and some are won
deringr if good job can be secured
at that price. The firm that made
the bid are accounted among the re-
liable contractors of Iowa, and there
was another reliable bidder who bid
"a cents.
The specifications for the Cedar
Falls job calls for pavement seven
inches thick. The base is five inches
thick, composed of one part of Port
land cement and five parts of grav-
ell. The wearing surface is compos-
ed of one part of cement and two
parts of sand. The city puts the
streets within two inches of sub
grade and the contractor puts it to
sub-grade by running a ten ton
steam roller over it. If this will not
do it, the contractor takes out what
dirt is necessary. They have an
abundance of sand and gravel at
Cedar Falls and the council of that
city are in favor of using the home
product. No granite aggregate

fications.

by using material that absorbs mois-
ture and keeps the walls forever
damp and cold. Use a non-conduct-
or of moisture like wood and be
sure Of your family's health. The
construction Of a frame house with
the liberal air space between siding
and plastering is acknowledged by
experienced builders to be the cor
rect principle for sanitary habita-
ton. Such walls completely battle
moisture as we'll as the sudden
changes Of temperature. This, how
ever is only one OF the advantages
of frame construction-there are
many more good reasons why wood
is the accepted material for home.
Before you complete your plans We
want to tell you some of the other
reasons why you can't afford to ov-
erlook the construction that was
good enough for our forefathers and

New Chief Operator.

Miss Elsie Kinney, of Des Moines,
has recently been appointed as chief
operator of the Martin telephone Of
fee. Miss Kinney has had wide ex-
perience in this line and the local
service already shows the result OF
her guidance. In q recent interview
with local reporter, Miss Kinney
said the practice Of calling by
double numbers had been discontin-
ued in the larger telephone Offices,
this being done to save time and
avoid mistakes. For instance. the
number 222 should be called by re-
peating each figure-2. 2, Pin
stead of 2 double 2. 2114 should
be given as 2, 1, /, 4, instead of 2
double /, 4. This method has been
found to be the best and will here
after be used in the Martin office.
Miss Kinney asks the cooperation
Of telephone patrons in assisting her
to give good, rapid service. She re-
quests that all complaints be report
ed to the chief operator. Miss Kin
ney also added: Don't attempt to
talk with your operator. She is not
allowed to do this. Be courteous to
the operators, as they are required
to be so to you. Treat them as you
would like to be treated were you
in their place. Remember, that 1t is
one OF the most trying positions that
n person can occupy. Most people
have an idea that a telephone Of
fee is place where girls chew
gum. visit and talk when they are
not listening to some conversation
or are asleep. Your mind would be
disabused of these notions at once
We're you to call and note the rigid
discipline maintained" Miss Kline,
gives evidence OF thoroughly under
standing the telephone business ant
her requirements as chief operator.
