At daybreak this morning. the Off
GERS of the village of Laurium, acting
on instructions from Marshal James
V. Wills and the council launched a

Every COW found roaming at large

the night police were kept busy Four
teen cows in all were impounded and
soon after milking time the irate own
ers appeared at the pound To settle
the damages to secure the release OF
the bovines which they had neglected

The campaign is to continue unti'
the COW nuisance is thing of the
past The officers have issued repeat
ed warnings and as last resort have
determined on positive action.
Residents of I,aurium who own cows
and who desire to avoid trouble should
take their cows to pasture at night as
well as i'm the morning. The owner
of the COW Is liable for any damages
vhich may be caused to gardens or

About Three Hundred Bushels o
Strawberries in Three Days.


The strawberry crop from the Pa

Rock Valley district which was pur.
chased by j.. r. Godfrey and Sons
is being brought to this city in auto
trucks. About 800 bushels have been
harvested bv sixty girls piclSers at the
patcn farm so far and The crop prob
ably will amount to about 1000 bushels.
IT, is estimated that the entire crop viii
be harvested in about ten days.
There is considerable rivalry between
;he pickers on the different farms. At
the Patton farm. only girl pickers are
employed, while at the Levesquc farm
men. boys and girls arc engaged as
pickers. Last year young lady picker
harvested 16S quarts of berries i'm about
seven hours. ON Monday the girls
picked berries from noon to about 1880
and only a few of them had less than
sixty quarts to their credit Several

markable invention inanimate and mar
velous. We seldom pause to think of the
skillful operators who sit with every
nerve and muscle acute to the tax of an
swering connecting and dsconnecting the
subscribers. We rarely ever consider
telephone operator anything but stupid
malicious or plainly unaccommodating.
And. all the time | fear it is the sub
scriber who is largely at fault and who,
like the ostrich, is burying his head in
the sand of blindness to his fault.
Do you know what has happened when
your telephone rings loudly and you fall
to answer promptly? You arrive at the
instrument ready to answer pleasantly II
the message is to your liking. Perhaps
YOU instantly hear the voice of some
friend or business acquaintance in re-
Spouse to your Hello" Perhaps you
hear the familiar Number, please?' and
then exhibit what ninetynine hundredths
of telephone subscribers display-tele-
phonic ill-temper. You mentally call the
operator many unpleasant names, which
had better been unthought. This simply
means that your friend got tired and hung
up before you answered, and when you
do answer, nine times out of ten, an
other operator answers you, and thinking
YOU are seeking her attention, says,
Number please"
Thus YOU fret Yet you admit that you
know nothing of the process by which in
the first case you received your telephone
call. or in the second case failed to re-
ceive it. You candidly admit ignorance
of the telephone law and yet expect to
escape the penalty, payable in irritation,
which endangers your comfort.
Will you persist in remaining ignorant?
You would consider a child stupid who
failed to realize that a hand plunged in
the fire would burn. Every day we older
children allow our brains to burn with
irritation and grow hot under the collar
Simply because we have not learned what
every little telephone operator learns in
the first few minutes of her telephone
education. We remain ignorant, most of
rs and daily vent our displeasure, born
of ignorance, upon the intelligent, Skill
ful telephone operator who can not es-
cane from our disagreeable words.
It is because l have been so often and
Aagrantly guilty of all telephone crimes

A telephone exchange is the best order

xyES, it is warm, and with the rising
temperature our Invitations seem to
increase We laid all our troubles to
the rainy weather, but now we are forced
to admit that the troubles are stiIl pre-
dominant and our mode of acceptance just
as disagreeable. Evidently this irritable
ity is symptom of summer and has no
definite cause.
How well we govern our tempers is
often illustrated No one would imagine
that the imp of i'll nature had any resi-
dence with many of us, so serene and
courteous do we appear in our face-to-
faces dealings with our fellow men.
We successfully hide our keen disap-
pointment in not being able to take
vacation on which we had planned for
months, and say with nonchalance: No.
have decided that l will not go away
this year" We disguise the fact that the
vacation of wife and children is making
a tremendous difference in the bank ac
count and speak cheerfully of the period
of restaurant meals and lonesome home
The business man speaks without rancor
when his stenographer hands him her
daily quota of badly typed, misspelt let
ters. He accepts witt grim humor the
mistakes of his hirelings and would APP
pear without fault to the casual OBJ
server.
Are we then a superior lot of beings,
who display no temper? No, decidedly,
no.
Let the vacationless man receive call
from the telephone on his desk. What
do you want? I can't hear YOU Central,
have l a. connection or not? Bang, bang"
Then, with muttered vituperations he
turns to the work at hand and resolves
that the telephone is the invention of
some evil spirit
Perhaps the man whose bank account is
decreasing tries to telephone about an
important business matter. He thinks he
knows the number, is almost positive that
he does At any rate he is within two or
three figures of the exact number Why,
in the name of intelligence, is he not
given the number at once instead of be-
ing exasperated by the sound of feminine
voices?
The lovely society lady, who dons a
neeligee to answer the insistent ring of
the telephone extension in her room
shows an unpretty temper when, instead
of the invitation she expected she hears
Number please" She tells Central, with
no mistake in insinuation that she was
called and that she wishes to speak to
the erson who called her The calm
voice of the operator as she replies
There is no one on your line now thank
you" seems to add to her irritation. Why
should Central he polite when the sub
scriber, a lady, has been guilty OF unady'
like veXation?

pensable necessity, but wholly as re
