when it is not
It is much work for her to notify you
that the line is busy than it is to give you the
number.
These are busy times and the telephone traf-
fic reflects the great commercial activity of our
city
The person calling assists by always being sure
TO give the operator the right number
The operator assists by quickly and accurately
giving the desired connection
The person called co-operates by answering
promptly, and each helps by speaking dis
tnctly and practicing courtesy and patience

DR.. w. A. Toomer has volunteered
his services to the United States gov
eminent and has been commissioned
as first lieutant, commission arriving
Tuesday.
DR.. Toomer has taken a very I'M
portant step, and thus shows that ne
is willing to make sacrifices OF a per-
sonal nature to serve his country
when the service that he can render
is of great value. The call for ply
sicians and surgeons is very urgent,
and there seems to be but little dis
position on the physicians part to
answer this call. The boys in the
trenches and on the firing line should
receive every attention possible, and
If the doctors of the country. fail to
volunteer the government will find
it necessary later or to conscrip'
them.
DR.. Toomer stands ready to answer
the summons from the war depart
ment and we feel sure that his abili-
ty as a physician will be properly rec
