THE BEST SERVICE Az
FAIR RATES

The most valuable tele-
phone service is the service
that makes communication
possible with the greatest
number of people. That is
the significance Of the term
universal service. The great
Bell System approaches
very nearly this ideal con-
dition. If you have a Bell
Telephone. you are connect
ed with a system that serves
twenty million people. Isn't
that worth while?
And isn't it some satisfac-
ton to know that the rates
you are paying are only sufl-
cient to cover operating ex-
penses. and pay a fair rate
of interest on the investment
No bonds on which to pay
interest; no water In the
stock; in fact, and here's the
big thing that commends The
Mountain States Telephone
and Telegraph Company,
for every dollar of capital
stock issued, there is $l.l5
invested in plant.

NOVEL DINNER PARTY IDEA
"Proaression" Does Away With Minor
Annoyance That Sometimes
Mars the Occasion.

A girl who Is looking for a way ont
OF the common to entertain some OF
her young friends will find pro
gressive dinner party" a jolly AFFAIR
There Is nothing better for helping
along new acqnantances, and II also
works wonders in another way-in not
allowing old friends to talk too excl'i'
sivcly with each other. Often the fun
Of a small entertainment IS spoiled
because one or two couples spend al
most the whole evening in talking to
each other, ncglecting every one else.
The young hostess has not always ex'
pcrience enough to prevent this mis-
take gracefully.
The progressive dinner party is
managed as follows: Each young man
is told TO take certain girl In to din
ner, as at any dinner party. The
places at table are shown by the
usual cards with names. During the
first course they sit in these places,
but az the plates are being changed
each young man takes the place OF the
next one to the right Tor left. This
Ia repeated after each course, the
change being always In the same d.
rection. The girls do not move. SO
young men have an opportunity ia
talk to each girl.
