Telephone Rates

Our telephone rates are as low as possible and yet
pay living wages to employees, pay our taxes and
other expenses and finally for present stock
holders enough interest their investment will be
able to get money for extensions and improvements
For some time the price Of telephone equipment has
been increasing and there has been feeling by that
we should pay higher wages or allow shorter working
hours.
These conditions have made it serious problem for
this Company to get enough money at the present rates to
pay expenses and fair rate of interest for the
and who have their money invested in the prop
erty.

Our Publicity Policy

The policy of this organization is to tell the public
about its affairs
We believe the public has right to know what we

human nature to believe that corporation frank and
candid giving the public complete information about its
affairs the public will be square with the corporation
We want the pubc's good will We think proper
publicity will help retain it. To be friends with the pub
lie means more business, less trouble, happiness.

The Telephone Abroad

The United States has e49o of all the worlds tele

Efficient long distance telephone service is almost
unknown outside of the United States and parts Of
Canada.
In Europe the telephone exchanges in most Of the
smaller towns close all day Sunday holidays and during
the night Twentyfour hour telephone service seven
days in the week Is the general rule In this country
On account Of double the wages pay employees in

MORE CARE
Must Be Used Hereafter by
Railroad Men in the Hand
ling Of Freight Cars.

Owing to heavy traffic being exper-
fenced by the railroads and the threat
ened car shortage notices have been
issued to the local railroad offices to
employees, especially trainmen, that
cars in transit must be handled more
carefully in the future. This action
is. the outcome OF the many crippled
cars that arc now in the various rail-
road repair yards undergoing repairs,
having apparently been crippled by
rough usage.
Railroad officials contend that there
is no need for so many crippled cars,
and that with a little more care, the
yard men and trainmen employed in
the freight service can prevent one
third Of the cars from being kept out
OF commission. They claim that dur
ing the busy season, which is being
experienced at the present. the yard
men in shifting cars do not use the
proper judgment in their work, and at
times bump them too hard. causing
the beams to bend or break. In this
case car inspectors order them to the
repair yards and they are out OF SER
vice for several days while repairs
are being made,

pected to arrive home today or to.

morning telling him that she and
Miss Nellie Manning, also ioca
girl who has been with her. would

weeks.
Mr.. German had received notice
from the American Red Gross Soei.
ETY. at New York that his daughter
and Miss Manning had sailed from
Liverpool October 16 and tina. they
would arrive home today: SO the let
ter was quite a disappointment to
Miss Germans family and Miss Man

The letter received by Mr.. German
Monday morning stated that they had
left La Panne October I, intending to
sail for home on the st. Paul but up
on arriving in Paris they found a
shortage Of nurses at hospital
founded by American nurses and
signed for months service there.
In the letter Miss German told OF
Ia recent attack by the English bat
tleships on the German lines near La
Panne. She said that on the even
ing before the day set for the attack
they could see the huge battleships
forming in line all along the coast.
Just as the sun broke over a noun
tain side north Of La Panne showing
the outline Of the German lines to
the officers aboard the ships, the
bombardment was started and for
three hours the guns on the big ships
rained huge projectiles into the Ger
man works. All these shells passed
over La Panne. A few hours after
the English stopped firing, the Ger
mans opened fire with big guns and
the shells were seen falling In the
water all around the ships hut be.
fore any Of the vessels were struck.
they moved out Of the range OF the
guns.
In describing the fight Of the huge
shells over La PAINE, Miss German
said that they made as much noise
whistling through the air as did the
fire whistle here.
Although located in Belgium Miss
German states that they had soldiers
Of all nationalities in their hospital
and it was with great difficulty that
they understood any of them. She
says the French language is the
easiest to get acquainted with.
