TELEPHONE BUSINESS
How Much Does a Merchant Lose
BY Accommodation?

How much business does the Oska
loosa merchant, lose in the course oil
a wear by the use of the Accommoda
ton Telephone?" This is one OF the
problems that the Home Telephone
Co frequently has presented TO 1t for
solution by the business man and IN
some cases special equipment mas
been installed TO remedy the difhcul
ty. How often does it happen, when
you are anxious to call up your favor
tie dealer, that the operator tells
you busy" This is not the dealer
fault nor is it the operators fault
but somebody has dropped into the
store, with Can use your tele
phone?" and while the phone is IN
use all business connection with the
store is at q standstill. All telephone
orders from customers are held III
and business in this respect Is sus
pended by the merchant just to accom-
mOdate possibly some strangers.
The use of the telephone can b'
made either a great blessing to th'
man of business in the quick eXecu
| ton of his work, or it can be made
great nuisance to the same business
man when improperly and thoughtiess
lv used by some irresponsible person
The telephone companies of Iowa haV'
proved the fact that by their records
two thirds OF the business that the!
are obliged to handle could be dom
away with just as well as not.
This leaves only about one third o
the calls for the handling Of reason
able legitimate business. If these 1--WE
thirds of the calls, were devoted t
the handling of good business for tn
merchants of Oskaloosa, they Woul
be the gamer to a large degree. IN
company is alive to the situation an
several plans are quietly being trie
out to remedy the evil. The problem
can be solved and the business ma
who is anxious to save his trad
would do we'll to consult with tn
company regarding the matter.
In these times of keen bushes
competition this is a matter tina
should not be overlooked or cast aside
THE business man has large 1nteI
lest in the matter and the customer
Iwho want prompt service are also II
fterested to see that they get promr
results. This is a matter of bushes
deficiency and the Telephone Compan
feel that it is a matter that shoul
receive public recognition as their Of
lerators are frequently blamed for
lcondition that cannot be helped at TN
switchboard. Better business cond
ltions will be the result by a prope
and judiciou3 handling of this probleI
ard a cooperative spirit indicated b

WORKERS QUITE BUSY
Monthly Report of Social Service
League Has Interesting Facts.

The monthly report for the Oska-
loosa Social Service League sets forth
some very interesting facts concern
ing the work of the month of Febru-
ary While Miss Brown, and her as
sistant, Miss Atchison have been kept
busy, the demand upon their services
have been less than during the month
of January tu.... -
Seven new families were reported
to the League during the month, only
one of them asked for aid upon his
own Initiative. The rest of the seven
families reported by individuals or
organizations about the. city, Work
was continued with 81 families, while
| 200 families who have at previous
times had the. aid of the league were
not heard from during the month.
The reasons for the applications of
the seven families, follows:
Two We're for relief when accute ILL
ness III the family demanded atten-
! ton.
Two were for chronic physical disa.
bilities. $685..
One was for aid in an industrial &C
cident..
One was for moral inefficiency.
One was for employment.
Five of the seven families received
either coal or food or both. One of
the families who was reported AMI
who was given aid during the month
has not been heard from since, in the
manner Of asking for aid.
Personal service was given in one
instance, which was of such nature
as to enable the family to care for
themselves there after. During the
month temporary employment was Civ
en- to eight persons; and employment
was given to eight persons; and EN-.
ployment which should be permanent
was given in two instances.
Several people about the city have
volunteered their services to help
along with the work during the past
month. They have found the work in
teresting, and are helping in way
which means much to those in charge
of the work Miss Ethel Packer, Miss
Jennie Fry and Miss Mildred Cald-
well have each one assisted in the
.. work of the past month in the most
satisfactory ways.
Fifty-fve tramps applied to the So
cial service league during the month
of February for assistance. This num-
her in contrast with seventy-one
tramps during the month Of January.
They were given temporary aid, also
clothing AMI food.
Miss Brown made an appeal last
week through the press for led cloth
ing; and the response from the peo-
pie about the city was most crafty
|, ing. Deliveries were made immediate.
lly after the call was sent out, and on
Saturday Of last week, Miss Brown
land her assistant distributed five COM
forts ana three pair of blankets. Dis
, Itribution of the much needed bedding
is being made from day to day, and
, the stock will in all probability be
exhausted by the last of this week.

Review Of Major League
Baseball Season Shows
Many Unusual Features
NEW YORK LEADS IN TOTAL
RUNS SCORED IN NATIONAL
In American Boston Red Sox Secured
Less Hits And Less Runs Except
inc Philadelphia

NEW YORK, Oct. ia review of
the major league baseball season,
which ended with the playing OF the
recent Worlds series, disclosed a
number of rather unusual features.
The pennant races in both the Nation
al and American leagues were closer
and better sustained than has been
the case for some years. In the Amer
lean League every club with the eXCep-
ton OF ST. Louis and Philadelphia, led
the league at week-ends, one or more
times while the same honor fell TO but
three clubs in the National; first place
being held in every case by either
Brooklyn. Philadelphia or Boston.
From figures compiled from the OF
fetal box scores it is shown that
Brooklyn the pennant winner was sec.
ond in the total number OF runs scored
in the senior league with New York
first and Philadelphia third. Brooklyn
collected the greatest number of hits
during the season with Cincinnati seC-
ond and New York third. Brooklyn
made the least number Of errors with
Cincinnati second in this respect ana
Philadelphia third. Brooklyn had
more players left on bases than any
other club in the National League,
with Pittsburgh second and Cincinnati
third. Brooklyn also had fewer runs
scored BY opponents than any Grub
while Boston was second and Phlladel-
phia third.
In the American League the pennMlr
winning Boston club scored less runs
than all but two of its rivals. the tx
ceptions being Philadelphia and Wash
ington. The Red SoX also collected
less hits than any of the other clubs
except the Athletics. On the other
hand Carrigan's players made fewer
errors than any Of the other seven
clubs while the Philadelphia compina-
ton made the most. St. Louis had the
least number left on bases while De-
troit holds the record for stranded
players in the Junior league. Boston
also held her opponents in check bet
ter than the remainder Of the teams
for the total number of runs scored
against the Red SoX was less than that
on any one of the other seven clubs
while that OF the Athletics was the
greatest

Wesleyan cs. Clarksburg Business
College at Buckhannon
Marshall VS.. Kentucky Wesleyan at
Huntington.
,Bethan VS.. Muskingum at Bethany.
DariS-Elkins VS.. Salem at Elklns.
BY far the most attractive contest
listed above is that between ". V. 7.
and the Navy at Annapolis. Grounds
for the assertion aside. West Virginia
should win this contest. The Navy
has shown no considerable strength
this year. having been tied by. Dick
inson; beaten by Pittsburgh by an
exceedingly close score. and wlnnlnS
from Georgetown and the Maryland
AgSieS in indecisive games.
Her victory over Georgetown ana
her close game with Pitt are lndlca-
tons of very great strength just as
her results with Dickinson ana the
Maryland Aggies are indicative OF the
opposite. West Virginia. having play
ed Penn to a standStiu and won q
poor exhibition from V. P. l., should
be all ready for a magnificent return
to form and the Navy certainly can
expect a most vicious opponent on
Saturday.
Wesleyan returns to her class after
two decisive beatings at the hanas ol
W. 4 J. and Penn State. After nav,
ing walked all over Oayis-Elkins ana
Muskinsum Wesleyan has gone thru
two successive game in which deteaIS
by big scores have been reSlstereu
and only once during the TWO soma
hours Of play has ner offense neen
able to get the ball within her oppon-
ents' thirty yard line and then it was
not strong enough to shove 1t over.
That the Orange and Brack returns,
then, to a game with the Clarksourg
Business College is probably a vel
come proceeding TO Coaches Neale
and Kellison as it will give them
chance to rally their fast talterlng
forces and enable them to attempt
another drive" toward Thanksgiving.
The Marshall-kentucky Wesleyan
game at Huntington has little OF IN
terest to West Virginia fans. but II
serves Chambers as a game, for TINS
Saturday. Marshall seems TO nave QUE
of her best teams this year and mas
showing with her present schedule.
The Bethauy-Muskingum game Will
be an interesting one to tans OIL

rivals and some comparisons between
