Whenever we are tempted to lament the
surplus of toll and arduous perseverance that
afict our existence we bethink oursef of
our always on the job friend, the Chinese
laundryman. This nice nstured SOUL who
approaches work in the same spirit that we
draw near to a hot mince pie, is so afraid
of not laughing at joke that he laughs at
everything his customers say to him.

The Spruce street car is always amusing
on rainy morning, when everybody is a
little swift of temper.
They were climbing in, and the motorman
was uttering exhortation, reproaches and
maxims of haste in a resonant bass. One
passenger seemed to take offense at being
adiured to greater dispatch and admonshed
the motorman to emit less tumult.
The motorman was not at loss. He
turned around with menacing phiz and
spoke forcibly. II don't need any Of your
advice, >" he said. Mind your own business.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Gu red

There is only one way to cure deafness,

Deafness is caused by an infiamed con

in1amed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is closed
Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can betaken outand this

hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by atarrah,

A meeting of telephone operators
was held in Sioux Falls last week to
discuss matters of interest to the va.
rious companies. One of the important
questions was the adjustment of rates
to meet the changed conditions. While
the telephones were under the man
agement of the p~ostofice department
some of the companies adopted what
is known as the Burleson rates, which
were a substantial increase over for
mer rates, while others continued un-
der the pre-war rates. Reports that
were made showed that the companies
that had not increased their rates,
under present conditions were either
doing business at a loss or on a very
close margin of profit. In view of
the fact that salaries and other costs
of operation are still going up it was
decided to ask the railroad commits
sioners for permission to raise the
rates to an amount that will permit
the companies to pay their employees
salaries equal to those paid in other
similar lines of work and still permit
the owners to realize a reasonable in
terest on their investments. The
Peoples Telephone Co. of Scotland is
one of the companies that is still OPP
Grating on pre-war rates and Manager
Wheeler informs US that in order to
meet the inevitable increase in x
DsnEes of operation he feels that it
will be necessary for this company to
petition for an increase in rates to
take effect October LIST.
