Because, some years ago. sheriff
of one of the southeastern counties
OF the state, presented an expense
bill of several hundred dollars for
a trip to California to bring back

giant, citizens of Douglas county

outside the boundaries of the coun-

irons were added to the Abilene ex-
change.

board; Clarence Wilson, Salina,

eral stockholders from out of the
city attended and the business of the
year was reviewed.
The company's lines cover one
third of the state and extend to the
Colorado line. Five years ago it had
seven exchanges and 1000 subscrib-
ers; now it has 46 exchanges and
$4,000 subscribers, of which Abilene
has 1,400. The company has 400
employees and is one of the largest
in the west.
Despite the increased cost of salar-
les and materials the company re-
ports showed a satisfactory year.
With its extensive toll system cover
ing the towns of western and CEN
trail Kansas, and it's lines to Kansas
City and Wichita it handles vast
volume of business, which is increas-
ing each year as the public becomes
more accustomed to telephoning
rather than using the telegraph.

FIVE YEARS OF KNITTING
AHEAD-RED CROSS WORK

The Abilene Red Cross chapter
was allotted in October 800 knitted
sets as their share of the garments
to be furnished for the army. Since
that time the following articles have
been shipped: Sweaters, 251; scarfs,
so; wristlets, 1875 pairs; socks, zee
pairs; helmets, 20. This work has
been accomplished not only by the
local chapter, but by branches at
Solomon, Chapman, Enterprise, Carl
ton, Elmo and Upland, while num-
erous clubs have assisted as well.
A report from the Southwest Di-
vision of the Red Cross at ST. Louis
gives total of 1920 sweaters de-
livered to the various camps, with
other knitted articles in proportion.
OF this number 5000 have been sent
to Camp Funston and 5000 to Camp
Doniphan, where a large per cent Of
the Abilene boys are encamped.
A letter from George w. Simmons,
manager of the Southwest Division,
urges the continuance of knitting.
He says, In my opinion there wiz
be no cessation in the need for knit
ted garments for at least five years.
We cannot possibly get enough. Not
only will we need every knitted ar
ticle we can get during the war, but
for years after the war ends America
will assume the burden of recon-
struction in many countries. This
means that the local Red Cross chap
ter will continue vigorous knitting
campaign, and will welcome the as
of the community.
