Mrs. Fred Heidel and Mrs. Carr re-

We have rushes of business just as
the street cars, the stores and the post
offices do. Yet a man who will wait
patiently in line for two or three MIN
utes to be allowed to deposit his mon
ey in some bank, will become dis
gusted with the service" if he has to
wait in line fifteen seconds to get an
operator to connect him with his resi-
dence that he may inform them will

Be reasonable. You always are
yes, of course.-but what we mean is:
this: it is unfortunate,-for us-that
telephone subscriber sees nothing
when getting service, but himself and
one telephone instrument. He doesn't
see the other hundreds of subscribers
and he gets no idea of the work We
are really doing and the violent and
uncertain changes in the number Of
calls given us at various hours of the
day.
1t is fact. And we think the reason
is indicated above. its human nature,
perhaps, but human nature can be i'm
proved if one tries, and all that we
ask is that you try. Ask yourself
these questions: Does any other
company or store in town wait on me
with such uniform promptness, or
cause so little direct loss of time, as
does the telephone company" Can
l get the services of street car, a
clerk, sales girl or a cashier nearly
as quick, whenever l want them as I
can those of a telephone operator?'

PROMINENT VALLEY
CITY WOMAN IS
SUDDENLY STRICKEN
PIONEER RESIDENT OF THIS
CITY PASSED AWAY EARLY
THIS MORNING.
MONDAY, DECEMBER Il, 1914.


Valley City residents were shocked
and grieved this morning to hear of the
sudden passing away of Mrs. Robert
Baillie. at her home on West Fifth
street, the end coming at $3.50 o'clock
after just short illness. Mrs. Baillie
had been suffering from hardening of
the arteries for several years, and has
had various attacks of sickness, but
of late had seemed in good health, and
seemed unusually we'll yesterday, un-
til about ten o'clock last evening. A
short time after she passed into uncon-
seriousness, the end coming early this
morning.
Jean Nelson Baillie was born in
Edinburgh, Scotland in 1851, and
from there came to Hamilton, Ontario,
where she was married to Robert Bail
lie. From there she and her husband
moved to Michigan, where they lived
at different points until 1880, when the
family came to Valley City, and she
has made her home here and at the
Baille-Nielson farm at Stewart town,
eleven miles north of the city since
that time. She was an ideal mother
and most Christian character, and
greatly loved by every one who knew
her, always doing some service to
make others happy. Besides her hus-
band, she leaves six children, William
Baillie of Harvey, Mrs. John Strong of
jamestown, the Misses Annie, Georgia
and May Baillie of this city and Rob-
ert Baillie of Darlington, also BROTH
er, Wylie Nelson of Valley City. The
funeral will be held tomorrow after
noon from the home at o'clock, Rev. |
w. C. Lyon officiating. Great sympathy
is extended the family in their be-
reavement.

For a moment he watched in silence

curse her.
