THE TELEPHONE

Since the beginning of the war in Europe
telephone traffic has mounted higher and
higher and this is especially true since
own entry into the conflict. The volume of
calls handled is growing daily and probably
will continue to increase In some places
this increase is largely due to the use of the
lines for the nations official business: here in
Richmond it is mainly because of the extra
ordinary amount of commercial messages aris-
ing from wars conditions. .sus+s

We wish to give the public service that

His Sensitive Soul.

George Challis, owner of a theater
in Muncie, Ind, believes that the crav-
ing for passes to shows becomes a ma
nia,, and relates a case in point,
according to the indianapolis News.
He had been besieged for weeks by
man for passes to shows in the thea
ter, and two or three times just to get
rid of him, had passed him in, which
only seemed to make him the more
insistent the next time, although Chal-
lis was under no obligation to him.
Finally the fellow struck Challis one
day when the latter was suffering from
the effects of poor house" the night
before, and, exasperated, he reached
down in his pocket and, handing the
importuning one a dollar, said, go
over there to the box office and buy
yourself q ticket like other people do
Putting up, his dignity RULED and his
feelings apparently hurt, the other re-
piled, "What do you take me fora
cheap skater" And then haughtily
walked away-with Challis' dollar in
his pocket.

APPLES ROTTING ON GROUND

Growers Say They Cannot Afford to

Butte-M. A. Henneberry, Dillon
stockman who recently passed through
Butte. is authority for the statement
that hundreds of barrels of apples are
rotting on the ground in the Bitter
Root valley, famous for its orchards,
while people generally are complain
ing of the fruit shortage and exceed
ingly high prices. He said the same
conditions were true of cherries which,
with apples, lay upon the ground in
such quantities that even the pigs
could not get away with it all.
upon inquiry" continued Mr.. Hen
neberry, 81 found the orchardmen
could not afford to harvest and ship
their crops on account of the market
situation. They stated that they were
receiving only 80 cents a box for APP
pies, and that they could not afford
to hire the necessary labor.
1--WE are paying from SIPS to 50 a
box for apples at the present time, and
still in a neighboring county they are
rotting by the thousands because of
the inability of the growers to har.
vest them.
"Why not recommend their substi-
tuition for other lines of food that our
allies need. and devote some time to
the solution of this problem?"

WORDS LOST THEIR FORCE
Schwab Should Have Spoken Into
Photograph, He Is Told, When
Discussing His Speech.

A banker who was told that Charles
M. Schwab, the president of the Beth
lehem Steel works, was one of the
most forceful speakers ever heard at a
banquet table, said he believed it, and
then told this story:
About the time that Schwab was
buying Bethlehem steel, and had made
arrangements with Piny Fisk of New
York, to handle the bonds, he went
over to New York, and, of course, was
entertained at a dinner. There he
made one of his most forceful utter
ances. Mr.. Fisk was moved to such
an extent that he said to Mr.. Schwab:
"That will sell the bonds. Only, you
should write it out for me when you
return, so l shall have an accurate
statement"
Mr.. Schwab wrote out his remarks
as soon as he got back to his home and
sent them to Mr.. Fisk.
Mr.. Fisk saw him soon afterward,
and said: "Why didn't you write me
what you said?"
II did," responded the steel master.
'.I wrote the exact words"
WELL" answered Mr.. Fisk, much
disconnected, you should have spoken

Mental Preparedness.

children trained from the very
start to self-expression enter school
with invaluable mental preparedness
for the work to be done there. They
have a poise that keeps them from
being diffident in class. They are not
afraid to ask questions" declares a
prominent educator. "They know how
to tell what is in their mind. In asso-
ciating with other children they get
more joy from it because they know
how to make themselves understood.
Older people find them more charm
ing and interesting.
effective training toward self-ex-
preston in the young child means that
characteristic of life, and there is no
training more effective than telling him
stories and teaching him how to tell
them.
asking about a child's doings will
encourage him to tell you about them.
"For instance, when your little boy
comes home from a walk get him to
tell you all that he has seen while
out. When he comes in from play
get him to tell you all about the fun
he has been having.
always make him feel your vital
interest in his thoughts and actions"

MINERS OF STATE BLAMED
FOR THE COAL SHORTAGE
Fuel Commissioner SwindIehurst Says
Miners of State Will Not Work
Over Six Hours a Day

Helena.-A report submitted to Gov
ernor Stewart by State Fuel Commits
sioner Swindlehurst and F. ]. O'Don-
nell, inspector for the state health
department, hints that the blame for
Montana's shortage of coal may lie
with the miners of the state, some of
whom, it is alleged make from Sc to
S12 per day, in short hours, and cam
not be induced to work long enough
to get out the amount of coal required
to meet the demand.
Taking the recent strike at Klein,
Montana, as a case in point, the re-
port says:
'"The company claims there is a gen.
eral unrest among the miners; that
the men quit work before the minimum
number of cars is loaded, which con-
siderably decreases the amount of coal
which the mines should produce. Be-
cause of the liberal contract which the
men have secured the operators claim
the men are able to make six to eight,
ten and even twelve dollars a day in
from four to six hours work, and that
1t is impossible to keep them in the
mine after they have earned that
much, although they are expected to
work full eight-hour day under their
agreements.
''As matter of fact, the coal miners
do not work over six and half hours
a day.
''T'his does not make for efficiency
and is bitterly resented by the mine |
owners and they are powerless to pre-
vent the men leaving the mine at any |
time they might choose.
'These are but few of the annoy |
ances to which the operators are sub
jected," says the report.

Wireless Air Raid WARNING.

The London Daily Chronicle reports
that Mr.. Thorp Hincks has devised ap-
paratus for giving warning of impend-
ing air raids. 1t is claimed to be es-
pecially applicable to factories and
public buildings. An electric resona-
tor is placed on the roof, and on the
sound of given pitch being produced,
the resonator causes a bell to ring in
the building until it is stopped. 1t is
said that large areas, such for instance
as the whole of a city, can be simulta-
neously and instantaneously warned.
