Southwestern Telephone Co.

No factory in the recent na- tional election was so conspicious as was the telephone All other agencies for gathering the news, and collecting the news, faded in comparison The telephone was the principle factor in Ark ansas, but nationally it's use was resorted to when all other means failed to bring the returns, and thousands upon thousands of conversations were held across the continent before the result finally become known.
 Although Arkansas was not a doubtful state, there were mat ters of state interest voted on in the recent election, and had 1t not been for the telephone. it would have been days before many of the counties would have made a report that could be talk en as anything like definite.
 The Little Rock exchange of the Southwestern Telegraph X Telephone Company was about the busiest place in Little Rock from the time the polls closed, until the result was finally an- nounced. On election day in 1912, the local exchange handled lO5, GOO calls, and in 1910, this increased to 119.000 calls. The long distance calls on this day from the Little Rock exchange in 1912, totaled 750. In 1916 there were 1900 long distance calls handled on election day.
 The big rush in the Little Rock exchange occurred on Thursday night. when the wires flashed the victory of President Wood row Wilson.
 The Southwestern company had anticisated rush when the announcement would come and for several days kept an ex- tra force of operators on hand night and day, to be prepared for the emergency. At 10.30 on Thursday night the report that Pres. Wilson was reelected came. Within the next twenty minutes the local exchange handled over 5000 calls. The force, augment ed as it was. was inadequate to hanple them promptly when the calls first began to come in, but within five minutes another large force of operaors was work ing. and there were no further delays.

TWO FOREIGN VIEWS
 OF PRESIDENT WILSON
Both of These Nations are Look ing to the U. s. to Help
 Bring About Peace.

The two associated press dis patches below shows what a large part of the English and German people think of President Wilson. Both of these nations are looking to the United States to help bring about peace in their unhappy countries. Wilson has kept us out of war and now is looked to to save Europe from distraction.
 GERMAN OPINION
 Berlin, Nov. 17. - Maximilian Harden, writing in Die Zuknnfit eulogizes President Wilson as a man of high moral and spiritual rank a man of whom we would be proud of if we had him, add ing, much that is foolish and unfortunately shameless has been said about MT. Wilson, and his election is hailed as one no Ger man may belittle. "
 The editorial writer. who quotes literally from President Wilson 8 books to show from them his high character and ideas, says regarding the presidents efforts in the direction of peace:
 This man so falsely regarded so foolishly defamed. looms up as no other who is visible today. y
 ENGLISH VIEW
 London, Nov. 18.- When Europe emerges from the present struggle the balance of the hem- ispheres will have been funda- mentally changed in favor of the Western and the United States will have an authority in the affairs of the world, which it never had before and which, even if it had, it's historic policy would have permitted it to ex- ercise. v
 The declaration is con tained in an article in the Daily News, written by Alfred G. Gardiner. editor of the newspaper, who in emphasizing the indebtedness of the entente allies to the Unit ed States in the matter of muni- tions, says:
 We rejoice in the election of the most sagacious statesman American politics has :thrown up since Lincoln. If we had reason to be thankful that MT. Wilson was elected in 1912. there was still more reason to be thankful that he was reelected in 1916. It is the one indisputable gleam of light in the dark future that lies before the world. It is to do something further than the building of a higher tariff wall for the Americen plutocracy that he comes back to power. It is to establish a society of nations and to change the whole doctrine of force in the world.
 He cannot eliminate force. but it is in his power and the power of the American nation to meke force grind the wheels of piece instead of the wheels of war. This will not be welcomed by the militarists of any country. it will be treated as a mere day dream by those who believe war an indestructible character of human society. But it will have the passionate support of the con- mon people of all lands and it is the only hope of democracy win mig an enduring victory over de- spotism.

struction for several months.
The Cudahy plant, with General
Manager NJ. r. Murphy directing, has
increased amazingly in business pro-
portions. OF the whole one hundred
and thirty-three millions of business
that the Cudahy plants did during
the last year, the local plant was re-
sponsible for SO per cent. The prod
ucts manufactured include those from
the glycerinc, Old Dutch Cleanser,

repairs during the last year has APP
proximated $20S,000. The coming year
will find the installation of two 800
ton ice machines in progress at cost
of 100000.

immense new cold storage plant
erected in 1914 has proven immensely
satisfactory.

Customs Receipts Here
Show Big Increase

Although the bulk of importations
have been CUT off from this country
because of the European war, the Of
fee of the United States collector Of
customs at the inland port OF Omaha
shows substantial gain for the year
just closed.
The annual figures given out by
Collector Of Customs c. W, McCuue
shows that the total duties collected
in 1910 amounted to $69,47j, and in
1915 $6o,046, this being all increase
OF $5,427.
Total value of imports through
this port were So07,4 as compared
with $6l5,542 in 1915, or an increase
of $292,0S6.
Of these amounts of $l27,6 worth
of goods came in free of duty and
%797o2 were dutiablc. In 1915 goods
valued at $lS5,2S5 came in free of
duty and $450,059 were dutiablc This
shows an increase of 5000 i'll the

during the last year totaled we'll over
5000, according to figures compiled
ly Axel Stecre, jr., chief deputy clerk.
This is slightly in excess of the total

personal injury suits, amounting to
$2,809, O43.S5, and 100 damage suits
involving $2,ll66S2.S4, were filed.
The total number OF verdicts re-
turned is 556,j20 civil and thrty-six

value OF free goods and an increase
OF $549,705 in the value of dutiablc
goods over 1915.
The increased vaucl of the dutiahlC
goods the collector Of the post be-
lieves, is due to the fact that import
ers are forced to pay increased prices
for the articles abroad.
The customs district of Omaha,
No. 40, comprises the states of Ne
braska, Wyoming and a small area
of Iowa. There is also port of
entry at Lincoln in charge of Deputy
f. X. Birge. The office force OF the
Omaha port consists of James Bur
ness, chief deputy; J. c. Thomas
deputy and inspector, and George X
Porter, deputy and clerk.

within the next two weeks. While
the construction work has been going
on, a modern sausage room with tiles
of the best construction has been in
stalled. Among the other plants there
were no serious setbacks. As fast as
the yards increased their receipts the
different plants increased their buy
ing. Nearly 500 more men were en-
ployed this year than last. This,
however, does not reach the high fig
ure of the year before, nor the i'm
mense pay roll OF that year.
Big Shipments.
During the year approximately So
600 cars of produce of all kinds were
shipped from the local plants. This
is a record by itself Most of the
stock was marked for foreign lands
and comprised the greater part Of the
$l49 ,7o9,oS0 sales that were recorded
for the year by the Commercial club
The shipping facilities were not ham
pered through the year and no loss
was sustained by reason of delay OF
cars.
In improvements the year has been
a banner one. Atop this is the an
nouncement that the building opera
tons planned for the year to come
are even greater. Where the stock
yards spent a quarter million dollars
in completing the concrete and steel
hog pens and other additions to the
yards, Morris and Company spent
more than 100000 in rebuilding their
Quilted pork house. Besides this, the
company installed a sprinkler system
and a fertilizer. The expenditure III
these ventures will amount to nearly
100000.
Armour Improvements.
The Armour plant, under the super
vision of General Manager r. C.
Howe, has completed and moved into
a new $l25,000 office building. A
whole series OF new departments. in
