A SCHOOLMATE'S GREETING
To Rev. Marion l.. FirOr on the abth
Anniversary of his Entrance
To the Pulpit.

Anniversary of his Entrance
To the Pulpit.
(By George W. Kettoman.)
It's half a century, Reverend friend,
Since first, when blythe and young,
We roamed the fields of Carrolls tract,
Or strayed it's slopes along.
This world seemed then wonderland
So fresh, so glad and fair,
That in our daily rounds we found
Surprises everywhere.
We went exploring wood and wild
To feed the mind of youth,
And read in Natures golden halls
Her charts of love and truth.
| With glad acclaim we saw the clouds
| Show forth their radiant bow,
The emblem of the pledge OF God
To mankind long ago.
We found the hangbird's pendent pouch
High on the willow swung,
And while the kind winds rocked her babes
! The gold gowned mother sung.
We knew that she was praising God
Who loves His creatures all
Though baby birds be tossed in storms
He will not let them fall.
We often heard the plover pipe
High in the thin blue sky,
But always found her shallow nest
Low down in the stubble dry.
Therein we read a lesson fine,
A lesson of real worth;
IT'S well to have our hearts in Heaven
Though our homes be here on earth.
We climbed the cliffs and lodges gray
To view the rockbelPs home;
| We waded into marish plats
To see wild lilies bloom.
We knew when daffodils should burst
And early violets too;
We knew where wood anemones
And wild strawberries grew.
These, and thousand other things,
| We did not learn In school,
The finest lessons in our lives
Come not by book and rule.
The mind is wide and wonderful.
And searches earth and sky,
To fird the infinite and the trde-
The facts that cannot lie.
Yet we were eager schoolboys, too,
Marion, you and l.;
| see the humble schoolhouse yet
Through memory's tender eye.
| Two broad red roads crossed near the door
Wbara of we nlav.d of hall
Or other Games with playmates kind:
know YOU mind that an
Were there ever merrier boys, Marion,
Met at schoolhouse door?
Were there ever sweeter girls, Marion.
Walked on schcolhouse floor?
For how conld one forget
That childhood friendship childhood love
Are The unrest nassions vet9
There are some, alas who as years advance,
Plan unto self n ends,
Till last self interest alone
Selects their only friends.

h Our Business.

The Putnam and Danielson ex. changes sprang into life practically the same time and enjoy the distine. iion of being smong the oldest ex- changes in the state. In,the summer of 1882 The Southern New England Telephone company laid out the two exchanges connecting the offices with a single grounded firon line. Al first the service extended over only certain hours and when the operator lunehed those who had use for telephone ser vice waited. Even two years later ser vice was not furnished on Sundays and holidays, continuous service being started ten years after .the opening of these offices.
 Moosup, the baby of the trio, did not come into existence until 1907 but since that date, it has been doing everything in it's power to prove that, as an exchange, it is most emphatic ally on the telephone map.

 W. L. Moran is in charge of the Commercial interests in all three ex- chan ges. 'Billy' is no new hand at this end of the business. Alter ex- penence in the sales.end, he WAS ap. pointed District Contract agent for the Norwich district. His next move was to the position of manager,for Daniel son and Moosup after which he had Putnam added to his,list.
 Under his direction there is eleri- cal force of two in the Putnam ex- change and of the same size in Dan- ielson. On the shoulders of Carl T. Kent rests the responsibility Of dig ging up the new business in this ter ritory.
 The responsibility of supervising the plant end of the game for this entire territory falls on the shoulders of Ii. A. Lord, wire chief, and ithere are times in the year when he and his men have what would seem 10 be more than width. As indicative of this side of the business 1t will tbe interesting 10 know that, in this territory, the force has handled 5,447 eases of trouble of all kinds since the first of the year and completed sos orders of all kinds.
 Reporting to him, MT. Lord has six men in Putnam and four in Daniel l son, total force of ten.
 In Putnam Miss A. l.. sherman, chief operator, has charge of force of twelve operators; Miss Katherine ] Awkward, chief operator in Danielson, has ten girls under her direction; and Mrs. C. w. Gardiner, chief operator in Moosup, has force of three mak- ing the total traffic for the three ex- 1 changes twenty eight.

 The Exchange Growth.
 When the Putnam exchange was opened there were 5l telephones in service. By 1892 this had less than doubled the total being 90. By the end of 1902 the number had crawled up to 27l and the last of 1912 the grand total was 1864. Danielson opened with 43, the number 'gained in the next ten years being but nine. By 1902 the total however had jumped to PIP and 1912 ended with 673 telephones in service. The Moosup exchange was opened in 1907 with 147 telephones and ended 1912 with 323.
 On January 1st, 1914, there were l All telephones in Putnam, 756 in Danielson and 356 in Moosup, a grand total of 2,553 stations in the entire ter. litory. Up to November 1st the gain during this year for these three ex- changes has been I'll and is distributed as follows: Putnam, lOl, ,Danielson 51 and Moosup l3. By the end of 1914 this energetic trio intend to show q net gain of ls5 telephones.
 ' sss Looking Ahead. Ea
 In the first place every exchange in the Norwich district considers itself unit in theI best district in the state, l and, incidentally, the banner office Tn that district. Loyalty, pride and en- thusiasmsstick out everywhere, they fairly charge the atmosphere. They may not do such a heap of talking, but, as the youngster observed, "they are there with the wallop."
 This is rthe type of citizens in the three exchanges, the type off people "s have in our offiees-they are teefe with the ,wallop. It is not an easy task to look into the future and stalo just how far ahead they may forge ls is dead easy to tell what they wons do.
 They wen't go backwards.

BALANCING LABOR SUPPLY

If present plans, as disclosed recently ut
Washington, are carried through 10y means of
Legislative enactment there will be established ut
the capital Il national clearing house for labor
designed to give to all desiring it the best pos
Sible opportunity for obtaining wcrk and for
furnishing the same to employers wishing labor.
In recent years much along the above lines
has been accomplished by state, municipal and
private bureaus. but these have always felt their
limitations in regard to exact knowledge of con-
dit0nS in distant communities. The present
proposition is for the establishment of govern

of branches and agents, to conduct free employ
ment agencies and to keep in touch with the
pulse of non-employmcnt and demand for labor
over the country. Thus one section may be Suf-

Ice that may be developed will be handled in!
t he same way
These principles rp-rmphaSiZC1 the necessity
for having the extension work of region head
up at the Agricultural College.
An official communication from the Depart
ment Of Agriculture at Washington. with refer
cnce to the Smith-Lever bill. was recently re-
cpived at the College Of Hawaii The following
quotations from this statement ef the Depart
ment of Agriculture will indicate it's attitude
on this vital subject:
"A few suggestions from the standpoint of the
Department as to the general plan for the organi-
zatiOn Of the agricultural colleges may not he
out of place In most cases the president or
dean of the college should serve as the cO-Or,li
mating or directing agent of the entire institu-
ticn, which may we'll he organized with three
main branches, (1) research division tagri
cultural experiment stati0n) t2D teaching
division, and 81 an extension division
as far as the department. is concerned the
essential thing is that the college shall select
the director of the extension division and shall
make him responsible for all the agricultural
extension work within the state, just as it has
been accustomed to select the director Of the re-
search division and put him I'M charge of all the
work of the experiment station. It is expected
that the extension director will be directly re-
sponsible to the president dean Of the college.
1t is remarkable that in view of the policy thus
firmly established that the Department of .Agri-
culture should sanction the development of eX-
tension work by the Experiment Station rather
than by the College. 1t is incOmprehensibe to
those acquainted with the local situation that
the department should thus repudiate it's own
policy.
The loss of the benefits of the Smith Lever
funds is a serious blow at the welfare and use
fulness Of the College of Hawaii. This college
will be the only of the land grant colleges TO
he barred from the benefits of this act 1t dis
credits the earnest efforts of the college to he of
maximum service to the people of Hawaii. The
college is expressly prohibited from using other
! federal funds for extension work and it has all
sOlutely no territorial funds for this purpose
Leaders of the college were lookup forward to
making the college Of particular service to the
people on the other Islands, hut they are now
without a cent for such work Unless the col
lege receives specific territorial aid the extension
work OF the college is now permanently crippled
/ Here we have another case of what appears
to be direct result of inefficient representation
coupled with interpretation of Hawaii at Wash
ingtOn. Let us hope that someone will furnish
us with information on the source of the OppO
Stion which has again put Hawaii outside the
pale of equal recognition with mainland terri
tories.
