 Better Telegraph Service
 An additional operator will be placed in the local office of the Western Union office beginning June 10. This deci- sion was arrived at after visit yes terday from A. D. Jennings, district superintendent for the company. At | the solicitation of the commercial club, 1 coupled with an endorsement from l agent Cozart of the company, investi- 1 gation was made by MT. Jennings, i which revealed the need of longer hours for a town the size of Mesa, and 1 the arrangement will be made accord l ingly. W. J. Cosart, who has been in 1 charge of the Mesa office for num- Der of months, has proven uniformly i courteous and obliging, and no com ] plaint has arisen as to his administra-
 tion other than the need of an ad-
 ditional operator, something over which he had no control.
