Telephone service, linking together city and country and shore,
is never more appreciated than during the summer months.
While the business man is confined to his desk in the city, the
telephone keeps him in touch with wife and family, though they
may be many miles away, sumnering at some pleasant resort.
During his own vacation the business man relies upon the tele-
phone. He is free from care, for he knows that he can be reached
at one by telephone should important matters require his attention.
At the vacation home also. the telephone proves so convenient
in arranging games and outings with friends and ordering sup
plies from the distant markets.
All this is possible because Bell Telephone service is universal.
BY the way, have you a telephone?

DANIELS, AT BALTIMORE,
PROMISES BETTER DAYS
Farmer to Get More for His Eggs,
and Consumer to Pay
Less.

BALTIMORE, December l3.-Amid al
most a bower of North Carolina pines
the North Carolina Society Of Baltimore
held its annual banquet last night at the
Hotel Emerson, with Secretary Of the
Navy Josephus Daniels and his wife as
guests of honor.
The Secretary remarked, in beginning
his speech, that he felt like coming back
home. because he was among North
Carolinans and because he spent a year
in this city one week last summer-at
the democratic national convention.
And a week worth crowding year
into it was he continued. But l am
disappointed. When I entered this room
naturally expected possum and 'taters
and jowl and green's But / found that
you came to town and forgot your rails
ing.
Il am coming back here next year to
your banner centennial and l hope that
Congress will let us have the old ship
Constellation with u.s.
Becoming serious Mr. Daniels turned to
problems of adjusting the city and rural
communities SO that each would get full
justice.
You must hang up your stockings this
Christmas. and ! am sure that you Will
get a brand-new currency bill In them.
Then We must turn our minds to the
problem Of restoring the parity-not be-
tween gold and silver-but between the
egg in the nest and the egg in your pie.
"Secretary Houston, another Carolinian,
Is working on a new system of market
ing so that the eggs can be placed on
YOUR table for a reasonable cost, so that
the farmer will get a greater share of
what you pay for the egg. We must also
have a just system of rural credits. In
short, we must restore the old conditions
of equality and justice between the coun-
try and city. When we do this and make
farming prosperous, our farmer boys Will
not come to the city. even to Baltimore

According to the dip onats. Huerta is
known to have been trying TO engage the
interest of Japan ever since he has been
in the presidential seat and is making a
desperate appeal through Senior de la
Barra for assistance. offering in exchange
concession so important that the Jap
