Telephone Girls Eyes.

There are in the United States
about I25, 900 telephone girls, whose
average term of service Is three
years or less. The working hours
are abou, per diem; the average
number of calls is about 40 per
hour, running, "at the peak" to ,a5
or more. The operator sis facing
a swlthboard which is covered with
numbers, each number having D
small signal light that flashes on and
OF as the call is completed. When
the person calling raises his rccciv-
er, a light G4shes on the sSithboard
at "central, and this light contIn-
ues to bura until the operator
"plugs" the number and receives the
cali. She then plugs the number
called for and this lig6; burns until
the called person raises his receiver
from the hook. When the receivers
are finally replaced on their hooks,
both lights fash and burn until the
operator removes the connecting
plugs. To complete one call means
four flashes Of light. As the average
number of calls is 30 per hour, with
as or more during the rush hours,
the operators eyes are exposed To
from 500 to / 900 flashes of light
every hour, resulting IN fatigue To

The Government Wants Dairymca.

The establishment Of creamerieS
on several irrigation projects Of the
Government during the past two
years has proven So successful that
there is widespread interest IN dairy
ing among the settlers. Unfortun-
s,ely many of the settlers are with
out the necessary capital TO purchase
good dairy stock and for tie time
being are forced to continue the un
economic method of selling all their
forage crops. A large number of
these settlers are trying to operate
more land than their means will per
nit, and with view of engaging in
dairying are desirous OF subdlvlding
tkeir farms ia order To get money
fos the purchaee Of stock. This has
ti2ced os The market a considerable
area of isna an several projects
where nearly ali of ihe Government
land has been taken up. TIE prices
snd terms offered are more on the
need foe money than an actual value,
and offer eseeilent opportunities for
experienced DAIRY men 10 establish
themselves 10 communities wtcre tins
succ. ss of their enterprise il practic-
ally assured There are numerous
sections where coed land suited for
dairy farming can be had at prices
ranging from S25 to $50 per acre,
with water ready for irrigation. Ga
all these pre- elects the markets for
dairy products, beef and pork, are
excellent and there IS every indica
tion of continuance for n Indefinite
peI;od. 1t has been demonstrated
repeatedly that dairy farming in the
Weet "a ii'e saAes4, surest, and IN the

prcssive exception IN The long line
of wagons, and that was the one
containing the pupils of Rice school.
il was draped IN black, and the oc-
Cupan,s all wore mourning garb; its
banner bore the words Gone, but
not forgotten Their beloved
teacher, Miss Mary Bell Fortncr,
had been called TO higher duties a
few weeks ago and her memory was
thus appropriately honored.
\ line of march was formed near
the depot, and there were over s.
900 children in ranks, marching to
the court house, where drills and
marches were given by many of the
schools. The showers ceased about
IT o'clock, and the streets were con
gesled with people who were visiting
the exhibits in the court house, the
!. NJ. {. y. building and the Hale
sioTcroOn, all of which were filled
with examples OF the work done by
the school children of the county.
