Today Telephone Properties
Are Returned

Aftra year of Federal control the telephone prop
oItN, which makes up the Bell Telephone System is to-
day returned to its owners 10y the United States govern
mcnt.
While the property has been properly maintained
is not the same property which the government took
over ON August /, 1919 1t is not adequate for its job
or as well manned rs 1t was That IT not IS in way
the fault Of federal CONTROL which was cmnenty fair
It's due to for which neither the government nor
the companies are to blame
A year ago today we were at war Labor and ma
terias needed for both telephone operation and CON
sruction turned to the war that even the work of
providing facilities for the government was retarded
and no part Of them could be spared for commercial
telephone purposes.
No less vital was the government need for those
skilled to create maintain and operate the vast inter
communication system necessary in modern warfare,
and in the conduct of the vastly increased government
services
Thousands of telephone men were already at the bat
tie front Thousands more were under arms and still
telephone experts and skilled operators went into the
service Of the government and contrbutary industries
by the tens of thousands
The reserves Of plant and equipment were drawn
upon until they entirely used up and the ex-
perenced staff was gradually depleted To find others
to take places of those who had gone difficult to
train them takes time.
During the year came victory and the armistce and
instanythe business world sprang into intense activity
The demands for telephone service passed all former
records
TO replace the exhausted reserves which had been
carried for just such purposes and to replace the skilled
forces to meet this Unprecedented emergency there be-
gan a rush for construction For readjustment for re-
adjustment for high pressure repairs; for feverish
tension All these must be continued with increasing
effort.
The return Of the property comes in the very midst
Of this race between an OverpoWering demand and an
upbudng Of system whose growth was held back and
whose forces were scattered by the vital needs Of war
Much progress has been made in the upbuilding Of
this system, but far still required to meet the
swift growth Of business; and also to give first add
to every other business and every other service sug
Cling against an unprecedented demand
The prosperity which creates this emergency in
service creates also scarcity Of those desiring employ
ment in the service.
Under such conditions telephone service generally
has not been and could not be up to the preWar stan
dard 1t is beyond human power to Immediately over
come the handicap which the situation imposes.
There are no people in any public or private en-
deavor who are working tirelessIy srenuousy
for the common good than those Of the telephone com
panies Service has always been given. More of must
be given and it must be improved That improvement '
in some cases will take months Eventually service
must win the with demand.

AUDUBON COUNTY LAND
CONTINUES TO ADVANCE

That Audubon county land is not
q drug on the market has again been
proven. Monday of this week Au-
brey Herndon purchased the Ed
Bates 60 acre tract east of town for
a consideration of $500 an acre.
Possession is to be given the first or
next March. This gives Mr.. Hern-
don the best two farms in Audubon
county. In an interview with Mr..
Herndon he stated that he might
move onto the Bates farm in the
spring but he said il was long time
yet until then and there was no tell
ing what might happen in the mean
time.
G.. l.. Carter sold $50 acres three
miles north of Extra known as the
old oerholtz farm for s240 an acre.
Nine years ago he purchased this
farm at 500 an acre. The sale was
made 10 Doc Anderson, Earl Terry
and Brick Kness. As soon as ne
sold this farm he purchased the so
acres adjoining him five miles east
of town where Ed Esbeck has been
farming for $3.50 an acre. Mr..
Carter is convinced that the top has
not yet been reached In the price OF
land and feels quite confident that
the place he Is now living on win be
worth $500 an acre.

BRAINS STAND NO CHANCE

The big prize tight last week at
Toledo, Ohio, called out thousands of
men to witness the contest and the
two men received many thousands of
dollars for punching each other,
more for the single combat than many
men receive for an entire life time
of hard work. Had the most noted
scholar or orator or philosopher, who
had spent years of hard study and la
Dor and research been advertised to
deliver a great and instructie message
at Toledo he would not have received
the attention of one person where
tho prize fighters had a hundred.
Such things are discouraging to
brains and to the young men of the
land who see how far mere brute
strength receives the popular regard
as compared with the finest mental
attachments. II doesn't speak well
for an intelligent people.-Adel
