ROMANCE OF THE SEA

All those wonderful changes and advances in naval design, construction and equipment have taken place with In my period of service. In sea power. in military efficiency, in comforts and conveniences. we have greatly gained
 but l think that those of us who started our careers when the great naval advance of the last generation was still to come, who made their carly cruises in sailing ships with auxiliary steam power only, look back with tender memory upon the old and less mechanical environment
 The romance of the sea as conveyed by MarrN-at and others in their stories has not really gone; the conditions only have changed. The sea and it's effect upon those who follow it never changes. and there is as great a field in the navy today for the adventurous youngster as ever-perhaps a greater Certainly he can have as many heart thrills on board a submarine or de- stroyer or flying craft as he could have had on board q brig or schooner cruising for pirates in the olden days
 The changes in the material of the navy have produced corresponding changes in its ofg5 5nization and per sonnel. You no longer see the gray bearded boatswain's mate, quarter master or quarter gunner about the decks of our ships. They were brave and loyal to the core, and their "yarns" of experiences on all seas and

TELEPOHNE PEOPLE
 ID BETTER SERVICE

MESA, Feb. 23.--There have been a number of complaints within the last few months about the service rendered by the local telephone exchange. There are very few people, however, who are not aware that the difficulties were al- most entirely the result of the lack of capacity of the plant to handle the growing business of Mesa. With all the constant attention given by Man ager Myers and the courteous handling ators, it has been impossible at all times to give the prompt service de- sired by the company and demanded by it's patrons. It has been the same sort of complaint that arises when one wears q shoe too small. or tries to Keep on wearing a suit one has out grown. Realizing this, the telephone company made a canvass of the busi- ness houses and found them practical ly unanimous in their willingness to pay S1 per month extra in order to secure a common battery system for Mesa. The increase is confined to bus mess firms and does not apply to res idence phones. Manager Myer for warded the statements of the buisness men to the head office of lne N estern Division at Denver. with the result that an application has been made to the corporation commission for a hear ing in the matter of increased rates consequent upon the installation of modern system. The commission has set Saturday, March f. at 10 a. m. for the hearing. The meeting will be held in Mesa.

ARMOUR BELIEVES IN HIS
 MEMS JUDGEMENT

Merle Crowell has written an arti- Gle for the February American Maga- zine about J. Q. Armour, the we'll Known packer of Chicago, and he says:
 In the Hurried week before last Labor Day, when nation wide rail- way strike seemed just around the corner, an avalanche of messages rolled in on the telegaph companies. Buslness Firms were stampeding to the wires with emergency instructions to their branch houses and agents. If traffic tie-up came, chaos would come with it.
 One organization had a superlative interest in the situation. Much of it's half billion dollar annual business was Tn perishable food stuffs; hundreds of tons were in transit or temporary storage. Freight stagnation meant q mighty loss the extent of which would be determined by the agility of it's men afield. by the wits of nearly four hundred branch house managers
 Tn this crisis there went out from the conpanN's main office in Chicago 10 each branch house single mes- sage. It filled perhaps a line and a half on the telegraph blank. and read like this:
 In the event of a strike we expect every man to use his own judgment
 No instance could be more typical of the way in which j. Ogden Armour handles his forty thousand employees. This quiet. thoughtsul-eyed industrial leader, just turned fifty-th is ap- plying 9 handmade business gospel to the twelve companies he controls i applying it in manner so divested of show that few people beyond his owr organization know anything about if 1 In it's last analysis the Armour creed runs.
