tried for years we would never revert

Feed them too well. What they take
out of the crops they are amply en-
titled 10 for the services they have
rendered in picking off the insects and
the larvae from the trunks OF the

believe IS under the ban OF the Iowa
Haw. ought to be restored 10 his full
lights as citizen OF Iowa. We need
what the crows do for Us. The recent
bulletin OF the agricultural department.
detailing the work Of the crows shows
that they are beneficial birds and not
destructive pests.

Installed Telephone Service

For information of those who
may wish to communicate by telc-
phone with anyone engaged in Mil
itary Service at Camp Dodge, at
Des Moines, Iowa, the Telephone
Company announces that it has,
with the approval of the War De-
partment, arranged to provide long
distance telephone service for the
public to and from the Camp.
How to reach anyone at the Cant
onment by telephone is outlined in
the following statements:
That the public may be able to
reach Camp Dodge by telephone
and that means or rapid commune
cation may be provided for the
Government between that Canton
ment and training camps, supply
depots, arsenals and military head
quarters located elsewhere, the
Bell Telephone System has install
led complete telephone exchange
at Camp Dodge and linked it with
points reached by telephone in
other state.
For the public to procure the
most efficient telephone service to
Camp Dodge. it will be advisable
in making a call to ask for Camp
Dodge. at Des Moines, Iowa. Civ
ing the operator full information
as to the rank of the person called
and the company or battery and
regiment to which he may be as
signed.
For example. if a telephone call
is made for "Private John Smith,
'B' Company, 315 Infantry" or
for Lieutenant Frank Jones, &C.
Batter, 302 Artillery the calling
party will be able to get the per-
son wanted with the least delay, az
each man is identified by his rank,
company or battery and regiment.
It is suggested that this informa
ton be procured as soon as possible
after the men reach camp. so that
telephone calls may be made if de.
sired.
Each company or battery will hi
assigned to certain barracks in til.
camp, in each of which telephna.
will be located. Telephone oper
tors at the cantonment, having in
formation as to the company ant
regiment to which a man belongs
will be able to reach his barrack
telephone promptly.
4 During hours of drill or othel
military pursuits it is highly in,
probable that men can be callc,
from these duties to answer O
make telephone calls, but appoint
ments may be made for them 4
'eall when ct liberty.
