AUTOMATIC TELEPHONE SYSTEM

Without any connection, with no

slighte@t interruption Of service, hun
drede Of thoroughly trained and won
derfnlly organized engineers. electri-
clans wire men and mechanics have
been st work il St Paul, during the
past few months installing the largest,
and in many respects, the most re-
markablc Automatic telephone system
in the world
The task CT making the change in
ST. Paul from manual 10 Automatic
ever the entire local system of the
Tri-State Telephone Company has
reached the final stage. Today,
every private line Tri-State telephone
in the entire city is q new Automatic;
every instrument has been tested
once, twice, three times; every wire
is in its proper position and the great
city, with its thousands Of anxious
and enthusiastic subscribers, is sim
ply making time, awaiting the an
nouncement that the "cut-over'' has
been made This announcement will
be made within a very few days.
The company officials and others
familiar with Automatic service, agree
that it will give the city the finest
| telephone service enjoyed By any COM
munity in the world The ''cnt-over'
will probably be made at midnight
and some Saturday will doubt!essly be
picked as the day This will give
subscribers q fine opportunity to try
their new telephone convenience dur
ms their day CT rest.
One of the most remarkable fea-
lures which attaches to this improved
Automatic telephone is its supreme
simplicity. The typewriter. simple as
it is, in COMPARISON with the Auto
| matte telephone, is involved and com
piicated, and beyond all ordinary un-
derstanding. The difference between
| the present manual system and the
Automatic, lies. in the one essential
fact that the subscriber himself dials

CT repeating the number to a central
operator, who. in turn. may be com

other operators before the call is act
ually completed.

little dial may be done rapidly or
slowly, as fancy dictates. Immediate,

Chimes. Worship Of Ancestors.

The one spiritual force that DOM
mates every class of society in Chi
m is ancestor worship. In the CM-
nese religion there is no other that
can take its place for moment. A
man NAV or may not worship idols.
He may express his utter skeptic-
ism about them or profess belief In
them. No one cares what he
thinks. Let him, however, neglect
the worship Of the dead and he IL
looked upon and pointed to with
the bitterest scorn both by bis own
relations and by his neighbors. The
worst taunt that the heathen can
hurl against the Christian, and the
one that stings him most Is the
sneering statement that he has no

URKEY RUN, without doubt the
scenic wonderland of Indiana, is
to be made the first unit in the
centennial state park system which is
to be found d by special committee

is to raise as large fund as possible
by public subscription and devote the
money to buying scenic and histories
beauty spots which the people Of In
diana will give to their state as a
centennial gift.
OF the many beauty spots that the
state committee hopes to buy, Turkey
Run is the only one chosen at this
time. There are two reasons for its
selection. Hoosiers by tens of thou
sands know of the scenic charm OF
this place and have long desired that
it be made a park. Another reason is,
Turkey Run belongs to an estate that
