Notice to Telephone Users.

We notice in the press dispatches
that in some Iowa towns telephone sub
scribers criticize the order of the post
master general in establishing fixed
charges for moves, change of name and
installation.
The telephone company has no OPP
ton in the matter and the order is
mandatory, right and just, both to the
moving or new subscriber the Old SUD-
scriber who asks no additional service
and to the company.
1t occurs to you who move to a place
where there is phone that the charge
| is unreasonable, but do you know tha'
it makes the following work necessary
making out an installation" slip and
a remove" slip, sending it to the chief
operator's office to change her card In
dex and correct her directory and bull
letin the change in number If party
line. Then it goes to the wire CHIEF
and he must change his card index and
directory. Then it goes back to the
office where the directory Is corrected
the numerical index changed, the sub
scriber's ledger sheet changed into the
new route. Then the addressograph
plate must be taken out, new one or
dered in Chicago and when returned
replaced. Then when it comes to print
| ing a new directory the old SLUG
scrapped and new one cast. Then
| comes the proof reading made neces-
sary Then, does anyone take your
phone at the old location? II not the
| company loses the original installation
cost. Marshall Telephone Company.

MANY VOLUNTEER,
Large Number Want to Enter Ames-
Open Only to September Men.

That many registered men will try
to volunteer for the call for nine men
TO enter Iowa State College. Ames,
oct. Is for training in mechanical
branches is shown by the fact that
altho the county's quota will be only
nine, seventeen volunteered up to late
this forenoon Altho the order did not
so state, it was learned by the local
exemption board from the office of the
adjutant general this forenoon that
this call IS mt opn to men other than
those who registered Sept. IL.
This instruction will eliminate many
OF those who have already volunteered.
The reason given for this ruling is
that all the Glass l registrants of the
registrat tons before Sept 12 are to be
indicted in the next call for a large
quota which is expected 10 be issued
some time this month. II Is explained
by the local exemption board that
there are no more than enough Class
l men of registrations other than that
Of Sept IL to fill the call for the next
connty's quota. IN fact the adjutant
general has announced that the next
large call will take all of the Class l
men from all counties, exclusive OF the
Sept. II registrants, who have not yet
been classified.

Boy Feeders After
Good Beef C0jvss

Boys who showed baby beaves at tho
county fair, and other boys who are
joining tho baby beef club, are pre-
pairing for the contest next year and
are serching for high grade calves to
feed. Practically all the calves shown
were bought so the boys must get other
calves to feed for the fair next fall.
Fifteen or more of these boys have
not yet found calves Of the right kind
and they have been applying to Coun-
ty Agent buchanan to help them secure
high class beef calves.
The pure bred beef cattle breeders
Of the county are backing this baby
beef contest as they never have before
If each breeder will furnish the boys
one or two good calves, 1t will be
stimulus for better work. This plan
offers announcement for the increased
production of pure bred cattle.
Several breeders have already sold
boys pure bred calves at reasonable
prices. No calf can be fed in this con-
test which is intended for breeding
purposes at the close Of the feeding
period. Those having pure bred, good
grade or cross bred calves that are
high class individuals, are urged to
notify Mr.. Buchanan of this fact. The
boys call the county agents office every
day inqulring where they may secure
extra good calves.
A large part Of the success OF the
next baby beef show depends upon the
generosity and support OF the local
breeders in supplying the boys with
calves of winning caliber These
baby beeves can be started on feed any
time up to Nov. and must be calves
dropped since Jan. |, 1918.

training corps at the University ri
Illinois.
Five thousand young men have
reached the university within the past
few days, and the Y. NJ. C. A. organ

activity with the local association,

immediate service. For the present,
therefore. and maybe indefinitely, Mr..

army camp on small scale.
Mrs. Knudson Is planning to join Mr..
Knudson at Champaign in a fortnight.

SOLDIERS AFTER THE WAR

The porBem of taking care of the soldiers after the war will most lkieIy resolve itself into a problem of taking care of those who did not go to war, except, Of course, those soldiers whose capacities have in some measure been reduced. For the able-bodied soldier, We i'm agiue, not much need be done save during the time of his transition from military to civil life
 For the most part the soldier will get his old job back if he wants it. or better one, but of course that sup position does not do away with the problem. It simply puts the sol dier n his job or occupation and puts out she man or woman who fix ed it during his absence, so that the net result for the country stll re- ueins the same. There will be need for artificial stimulation of production to keep idle hands busy until such time as tEe world adjusts itself to peace.
 It is the fashion to believe that the returning soldier is to be an es- sentially different being from the man who went overseas. He may be in a spiritual sense, but the men of the civil war returned to. their homes pretty much the same IS the men who left them. And .ae individual experience in the civil war was as bad as that which the men in the present war are undergoing. Nationally and for the world this war is on a vastly great CT scale of horror and everything else. but for the individual, being wounded. exhausted, starved, etc. IS largely the same experience un- der all circumstances. No one sol dier can contain the horrors of 2 whole war, whole battle or a whole skirmish. He is limited tp his individual experiences.
 It is hardly safe to assume that the returning soldier will sub mi. to any arbitrary economic classi IicatiOn. It is more probable that he will be anxious to take Up his work where he left off and make up for lost time, and public grati- tude, tickle and transient though it be, will help him bridge the gap. So it is just as well. in all cOnsidera- ton of the problems of employment after the war, to have an inter changeable plan that will fit the needs of soldier and civilian alike Seattle P.-I. <
