IGNORANT OF WARS ENDING.

There will be no premature peace
celebration at Fort Mcpherson, Canada,
40 miles south of the Arctic ocean, for
Fort Mcpherson will not know that the
wal is over until some day in the near
future.
The news will reach his trading post
in the ~semi-annual Arctic mail which
left Fort McMurray. proposed terminal
of the Alberta and Great Waterways
Railway, by dog team. The news is in
cluded in $50 pounds of mail carried
by two sledges, pulled by ten dogs each
and driven by veteran 'mushers." The
distance is 1.500 miles as the crow
flies. but considerably more over the
frozen A~thabasca and Mackenzie rivers.
The hardened drivers will rest a week
at Fort Mcpherson, then begin the long
trek back to civilization. The territory
traversed includes the great barrens
deep under snow that begins falling in
September. The barrens are known for
bliZzards which sweep from the frozen
sea across unobstructed leagues of snow
covered and uninhabited wilderness.

served at the Red Cross rooms next
Saturday by Mesdames Harden, Gould

JUST FACTS.

TIL government of the United States
is our government. That government
has given its sacred word to do certain
things. These things require the ex-
penditure of great suns of money. Your
government must keep its word, must
spend these sums of money.
This money can only be secured now
in two ways-either by taxation or by
borrowing. Taxes are high enough.
are they not? Nevertheless they will
not produce enough to meet the pres
emf need.
Then. the only way the United States
can pay for peace is by borrowing the
Valance needed-probably six billion
dollars. All right, then. your govern
ment must borrow $4,000, 000, 900. and
since other countries have no money to
lend. 1t must borrow the money in the
United States and from one of two
sources. Your government must bor-
row from the banks and other financial
institutions. or it must borrow from
the millions of patriotic citizens.
If his money could he borrowed from
the banks, would ii be wise? With all
of their capital tied up in government
securities, how could the banks per-
form the normal functions of financing
regular business enterprises and devel-
opmeut projects? without being fl
nanced, how could factories and bust
ness operate, how could the country be
developed, nov could labor he employ
ed. and how could people live? Think
1t over.
Very well. then, there is one course
left open. Your government must Dor

diYidual up to each ones limit of

Finances and Service

Any business, large or small. must ultimately fail if its
expense of operation is in excess of its revenues.
In the case of our Company the service is involved IS well
as the financial factor. Telephone service is dependent
upon the condition of the plant, the efficiency of the
employees and the sovency of the Company.
Inadequate revenues must eventually result in poor main
tenance of plant, wages o low to attract the most
competent employees, and aloofness of capital when it is
required for plant extensions to meett the needs of growing
communities.
These conditions make it impossible to render the class of
service demanded by the public. And these arr the
conditions threatening the Telephone Company now under
naming at a prewarl level. '
Gradually operating costs advanced, narrowing the margin
between revenue and expense, crossed the line and still
continued upward until w are low operating under a
deficit of alarming proportions.
This creates a problem in which the public and the
Company IRE mutually interested.
