Denver, Colo, November 80, 1918.

The Mountain States Telephone ant
Telegraph Company, in the considera.
tion of its future development, recog.
nizes that its highest interests as a pub.
hc utility lie in establishing the closest
and most friendly relationship with the
public generally, and with its patrons in
particular; therefore, it is the purpose
of The Mountain States Telephone and
Telegraph Company, through this an
nouncement, to inaugurate what may be
termed an advertising educational series
of articles, both in the newspapers and
in the form Of letters to its customers.
1t is our hope that this campaign may
mark new era in the relation of public
serve. We want this education to work
both ways-that the public may learn
the truth about us, and that we may
learn how the public regard us, and how
we may fairly and efficiently serve the
public in other words, what is just and
right.to us and to the people, and to con-
vince the public that we will voluntarily
remedy any wrongs we are doing, If
pointed out to us.
We shall show you our financial af-
fairs, frankly and freely. 1t so hap
pens that our financing has been of such
anature that it is easy for us to clearly
What we mean by this is, that we have
absolutely no bonds, nor any preferred
stock, and no mortgage of any kind
upon which to pay fixed charges. We
have more invested in our plant at its
present replacement value than our is
sue of common stock, and we have no
other stock issued than the common
stock. There are no wheels within
wheels, nor companies within compan-
les, to absorb profits. We finance our
selves from year to year by selling our
common stock to the people, at not less
than par, in the states in which we OPP
crate.
When we tell you the story of our
financing. we will prove to you that
there never have been any fortunes,
large or small, made out of the manip-
ulation of our stock in other words, no
high financing has ever been done in
connection with The Mountain States
Telephone and Telegraph Company, or
its predecessors. The stock never has
had any speculative value; it has been,
and is now, simply a safe investment.
There is great misunderstanding
upon the part of the public as to this
side of our business. Persons with ul-
terror motives, striving for office. and
newspapers wishing to give startling
quently publish stories of how
rich certain officials of our company are.
Right now, this is being done in connec-
tion with the new revenue tax. We
suppose these stories grow out of the
belief of certain of the public that the
executive officials of our company own
the entire plant. 1t is absurd, for these
executive officials of our company are
merely trustees of the property, for the
stockholders. and none of them are rich
men. nor have they very heavy hold
ing of the stock. 1t is true that GER
tain reputed rich men have large hold
ings of the stock of our company some
of them being on our Board of Direct
ors-but not one of them has made any
money whatsoever out of dealing in our
stock. They have all paid dollar for
dollar, in cash, at par, into the treasury
of our company, for every share they

shapes of the satelIItes.

Photometric studies OF six Of the
principal satellites OF Saturn, made by
Guthnick. indicate a confirmation of
the previous conclusions of other OBJ
servers that several, and perhaps all,
Of these satellites behave like our
own moon In keeping always the same
side toward the planet around which
they revolve. In regard to the satel.
lite named Tethys, an interesting hy-
pothesis is offered to account for its
very marked changes of luminosity.
The theory is that Tethys possesses
the form Of long ellipsoid, the two
principal axes Of which are to one an.
other in the ratio of FIVE to two. A
similar suggestion has been made con.
cerning the shape OF the asteroid
Eros. which likewise exhibits great Va,

SEEMS A POOR OCCUPATION
Demand for Female "kenneI-M aids"
Said to Be the Latest In the
Old Country.

Ladies' have been advised to take
up the profession of "kennel-maid,"
but the latest development Of this oc-
cupation appears to be that Of "ca-
nine nurse" Reports from the old
country tell that there are actually
institutions for training ladies to be-
come nurses for dogs. They are
of the canine pets. and have to serve
taught to study the different ailments
an apprenticeship for at least twelve
months before they are qualified. A
good nurse can command good sal
ary. Only recently lady in Dublin
engaged one of these canine nurses at
SIC a week, besides paying travelling
expenses. At most dog shows in Eng
land one sees girls in nurses cos
tunes attending the valuable animals
that are on exhibition. An advertise
ment appeared In London journal
only a few weeks ago offering 5000
per year and all found for qualified
