1.-THE INTRICATE MECHANISM

The switchboard-the most in- tricate and interesting adjunct of the telephone business-is divided
 into sections and there are usually three operators positions in each
 section. An operator sits at each position, and from this point can
 reach the line of every subscriber in the exchange. However, only a limited number of subscribers an- swering jackets terminate in front of each operator. This causes it to be possible for an operator to con- meet a calling party with any num- Der on the switchboard, but she can answer the calls of only a few subscribers. Whenever a new sec. tion is added to the switchboard 1t is necessary to run the wires and

 FOR BOIL WEEWL State EntOmologist Is Con- ducting Experiments to
 Meet the Emergency

Atlanta, January 31.-(specal)- State Entomologist E. L. Worsham. in crn. junction with Ira Williams of the bu4 ieau of plant industry of the United States department of agriculture, is con- ducting a series of experiments to meet the emergency which will confront the growers of Sea Island cotton when the boil weevil reaches and destroys it--an unavoidable disaster which is expected within about two years.
 The problem of early maturing and re- ststant varieties in upland cotton has been fairly well solved, but with regard 70 Sea Island the same solution has not yet been reached. The experts are now looking to the recently developed upland
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-02-01

long staple in the hope of finding sorae solution, at least the making of long staple croo which is in so great demand
 But no early maturing or resistant va riety of the real Sea Island staple has yet been discovered. In fact, the problem is two-fold; the plant must not only ma tiire carly, but it must be of strain that will resist the black root or wilt disease which has played havoc with many a cotton community in recent years.
 Mr Worsham believes the Sea Island problem wil be solved in due course and that something will be found to resist In part at least the rayages of the insect.

connect the line of every subscri- Der into the new section.
 Sometimes subscribers fail to answer their telephones promptly and when they do answer it the operator says Number, please" ]" if the calling party has grown im- patient and hung up his receiver. Only one operator can answer you when you ask for a number, but any operator at the switchboard can ring your telephone bell. If an operator has a rush of calls those on each side of her come to her assistance and a supervisor is always at hand to help her out.
 The work of the operators is in- teresting and fascinating and is well worth a visit to our exohanges

Report Of Golden Belt Educational
Association at Hays.

The Golden Belt Educational asso-
citation on Saturday, March 2, con-
cluded one of the most enthusiastic
and helpful sessions. In spite of
stormy weather, blockaded highways,
ment was 359.
The attendance banner was award
ed to Logan county.
The splendid program provided by
the executive committee was carried
out almost entirely as planned. Every
feature of the program was a pro-
nounced success.
The contest numbers were excellent
and highly enjoyed. The winners
were: In orchestra, Logan county
first, Wallace county second. In
chorus, Logan county first, Ellis
county second. In spelling, Escher
Karbon of Ellsworth county first,
Leonard Bell of Ellis county second.
On Friday, the Western State Nor
NAL presented 'sPinafore;;' comic
opera as gift to the teachers asso-
citation. The teachers were loud in
their appreciation and praise of this
Der paid them for their trouble of
getting to the association This was
| a treat that could not be obtained
elsewhere in the district, and is one
of the great number of reasons the
teachers desired to have tie meeting
| at Hays
Each of the speakers at general
sessions had a message for the people
of the association, The presidents
address on "What Next" was COM
prehensive and thoughtful. w. A.
McKeever addressed the teachers on
ssThe Spiritual Aspect of Teaching
and struck responsive chord in the
heart of everyone present Senator

most excellent features of the session.

ent at the contest the winner might
have had a close contestant in the
Graham county boy.
The last general session was feat
ured by the address of DR.. Loveland
on the ''Follies of Fogyism," and was
fitting closing for one of the most
profitable sessions ever held in the
district.
The round tables on Saturday af-
ternoon were made helpful by the
discussion of many of the problems
of the present day in education.
At the business meeting the follow
ing officers were elected for the en-
suing year:
President, Supt T. W. Wells of
Russell county.
Vice President, Supt. ]. C. Myrick
of Graham county.
Secretary, Miss Susan Friend of
Logan county
Treasurer, Supt. Anthony Kuhn of
Ellis county.
Executive Committee Supt. Mrs.
E. G. Sites of Cove county; Supt. M.
G. Martin, Ellsworth county: Supt. J.
H. Niesley, Trego county.
1t was decided practically unani-
mously that the next meeting should
be at Hays. The people of Hays,
from the Normal and from Ellis
county, refrained from voting on the
proposition, preferring to have the
matter settled by those outside the
county where the session was held.
The success of the session was due
in large measure to the enthusiast
tic support of the faculty of the
Western State Normal. the CONNER
cial club of Hays, and her open
hearted, hospitable citizens Recog
milton of this by the teachers decided
them in their choice of the next
meeting place
By a unanimous vote of the associ-
alton it was ordered that a copy of
this report be sent to each paper in
the Golden Belt district for publica-
tion.-C- J. Davis, secretary.
