"Al MOST HUMAN'' MACHINE
INTERESTS OLD AND YOUNG

into operation-people began to
drop in at the Enterprise office
"just to have a look" They
Hooked, and they saw, without a
doubt, one of the most wonder
full machines in existence. 1t
is truly nearly human.
One wide-eyed, interested on
locker remarked that it did ev-
cry thing but talk, and after a
moment of study he added "but
by-George, although it can't
talk, it tells you what it has to
say in print" And he was
right.
Late in the afternoon Tues
day, while men, women and
children came and went, looked
andmarveled at the machine as
it was in operation, one broth
er, skiddishly poked his head
through the door as the machen-
ist, who installed the machine,
turned toward him.
Don't cost anything to look,
does it?" inquired our friend,
who, we later learned, had came
seven miles to see the Sight
| "No indeed" replied the ma
chemist, "come right in and look
all you please. If we had been
charging an admission fee for
looking, we'd already be closed
now and gone to the city with a
good bank roll to put on q
show"
And we would have, too.

GOVERNMENT STOPS
SHIPBUILDING

Washington, Dec. 12.-Can-
collation. of all outstanding con-
tracts and construction of
wooden ships where the build
ers have not spent over $780,
900 has been determined upon
by the Shipping Board.
This applies to ships on the
Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific
Coasts.
Contracts for one hundred
and sixty ships of this type
were suspended recently. Many
of these were effected by this
decision though officials will not
attempt to estimate the num-
ber.

The linotype machine which
the Enterprise ordered a few
weeks ago had arrived and was

ARTHUR WILLIAMS

SUNDAY MORNING
) FIRE DESTROY
BUILDINGS

A fire alarm was Civ e n
Sunday morning about $3.50
when it was discovered that the
Queen Theatre building was on
fire and which soon burned t o
the ground. Nothing was saved
except the electric playing piano.
The building had just been
completed at a cost of about So
900. The Finkbine Lumber
Company were perhaps the
heaviest losers, they having fur
nished the lumber for the
building. Manager C. E. Jones
was a heavy loser, also.
The cause of the fire is un-
known, the opinion of some be-
ing that the building was set on
fire. The fire seems
to have caught from the outside
of the building.
The garage building just
north of the theatre building,
owned by A. w. Bond and occu-
pied by H. G.. Walcot, soon
caught on fire and destroyed,
most all tools, supplies and cars
were removed from the building
No insurance was carried on
the property.

more than one hundred pounds. My

boils and eruptions all over my body

in such a wretched state it was simply
impossible for me to get any sleep.
Nobody could tell me what the matter

hopeless that / just gave up and took

Next to the aggregate number of
subscribers, perhaps the most striking
feature Of the third Liberty loan was
the support given it by the farming
and rural populations of the country,
according to a statement by the Treas
ury Department. Not only did the
farmers purchase literally to the bonds
but the rural communities as a rule
were more prompt in completing their
quotas of the loan than the larger
cities. More than 10000 communities
in the United States subscribed or
oversubscribed their quotas, many Of
them on the first day of the campaign.
The majority of these were not cities,
but country districts.

A Personal Responsibility

4 TELEPHONE system furnishes transmission Tor the
n speaking voice. But the telephone cannot talk or
hear for you. That is your personal privilege and re-
sponsibiity.
The telephone extends the range of personal CONVEX
sation; making a path for the voice over the wires TO the
person you wish to reach.
When the switchboard operator has connected your
telephone with another telephone the distance between
the two has been annihiated, but clear speaking, atten-
tive listening and courtesy are still demanded.
In the Bell System there is untiring effort to insure
good service. Education, organization and the co-ordina-
ton of every factor that enters into the service have been
supplemented since the war by the conservation of every
telephone facility for the most essential public service.
More than ever the cooperation of the public is necessary.
