The extent to which the telephone has
become a household necessity, a fact
which carries with 1t the assurance OF
increased earnings. is shown in the an
nual report of the American Telephone
and Telegraph Company for the year
1912, made public today.
The report asserts that there are now
7o,000 cities, towns and hamlets from
which person may send a telephone
message. During the year 1912 the daily
average Of toll connections was 7Ss,0eo,
and a daily average OF exchange con-
nections 25,572, 600.
Broadly speaking, this means. that
each day during the year an average Of
26,sle, 900 conversations over the telephone
were held over the lines of the company.
These figures do not include local con-
nections over some Of the neighporhooo
lines.

port, showed a gross revenue, not in

On this point President Vail says:

PRESIDENT TURNS DOWN SUES.
Delegation That Asked He Read spe-
claI Message Boosting Suffrage.

Cldi message '6oOSIin9 OuIITdSSs
Washington, Dec. 9.-Women suf-
frage, the question which had vigor-
ously projected itself on the political
forum, confronted President Wilson to-
day in the person of 60 members OF
the National American Women's Suf-
frage association, who pleaded that he
use his influence with congress to OBJ
tain the ballot for women in the ma
ton.
1t was the first time the president
had been brought face to face with
the issue in a formal way. He told
his callers that whatever might be his
personal views on woman suffrage or
any other subject, he had made rule
not to urge anything upon congress
that had not been the subject of cor
ganic consideration" by the Democrat
&c party, of which he considered him
self spokesman.
Some of the members of the dele
cation were disappointed, some felt
encouraged, others were noncommit-
tai. DIR. Anna Howard Shaw expressed
the view that the presidents endorse
ment of the idea of a special COM
mittee in the house was all that could
have been expected under the circum-
stances.
1t was a quiet, earnest group Of
suffragists, who stood in a circle with
the president in its center in the white
house offices. Most of them had walk
ed. in defiance of a freezinge gale, and
2 were determined to get definite ex-
preston from the chief executive.
They constituted the special commit
tee appointed by the convention of
the national organization to await the
presidents recovery from his illness,
and they marched confidently to the
white house to plead their cause.
This is to be no mere hand-shak-
ing affair."" remarked one of the lead
ers to the assembled group. "Dr. Shaw
will Go all the talking, and the hand
shaking, too"
She who spoke remembered a visit
of New Jersey suffragists who took
the president a message on woman
suffrage and shook hands with him,
but got no reply.
The president nodded pleasantly to
the women as they formed in circle
around him and d.. Shaw stepped
forward. In a low voice she told in
a Straightforward. simple way how
unavailing had been the frequent pill
4 grimages of the women to Washing
ton heretofore and how committees
Of congress had listened courteously,
but had buried their case. She APP
pealed to the president in the spirit
of justice" to urge upon congress by
message to pass an amendment to the
federal constitution to be submitted to
the states that would give women the
right to vote throughout he land.
Il want you ladies, if possible" said
the president to the delegation "if
can make 1t clear to you, to realize
Just what my present situation is"

with remarkable faith in the value

Dean Curtiss was much Interested
in the many other ways the Canadian
government aids agriculture, aside
from appropriations for educational
purposes. They are aiding in solving
marketing problems; they are encour-
aging better breeding of livestock by
buying sires and reselling them at
cost, and they are doing many other
things of like character.
Il found that the government is ad-
vancing from 80 to IS per cent. Of
the money necessary to build co-opera-
tive creameries and elevators" said
Dean Curtiss, "and It is doing 1t at a
low rate Of interest and on long time
payments. Where cattle need breed
ing up, the government buys bulls Of
dairy, Shorthorn, or special dairy
breeds and sends them in at cost price
and on long time payments"
