SOY BEANS.

The County Agent has been inspect
ing fields of soy beans over the county
and Is pleased to note the wonderful
growth which the crop has made. Ii
q few instances the Medium Yellow
has proved little late to secure q
heavy seeding Of beans. However these
plants will provide wonderful feed
in connection with the corn ensilage
Several farmers have planted the soy
beans for seed purpose in order that
they may have their own supply for
next season.
1t is hoped that large number of
farmers who have grown soy beans
will take time to prepare bundle
for exhibit at the County Fair. The
Farm Bureau Headquarters will have
a nice exhibit of soy beans together
with, an educational exhibit in which
the feeding value of soy beans will be
compared with the standard foods us
ed on the farm. Continued high prices
OF commercial foodstuffs is making it
imperative that a substitute be found
in the near future. Farmers who are
growing soy beans and alfalfa are
awake to the situation.
It is hoped that the farm bureau
will secure samples of ensilage pro-
duced from soy beans and corn and
have them analyzed in order to deter
mine the relative food value of these
various combinations. An effort will
be made to compare early maturing
varieties Of soy beans, late maturing,
and also to find out what combination
is necessary to secure balanced RAJ
ton in the silo. It seems possible that
q balanced ration could be obtained
and the farmers who first learn of
this method Of combining the feeds
In the silo will go long ways toward
reducing the cost of feeding live stock

ers who have surplus Of this seed
will do well to notify the Farm Blu
reau office as there is a ready sale
for such seed.
1t will be remembered that the Farm
Bureau imported fifty bushels of this
seed two years ago. from Wisconsin,
the home Of pure bred Rosen Rye. Last
year where it was compared with
local varieties this new strain yielded
ten bushels an acre more. The prin-
cipal reason for its high production
is the fact that it is a pure bred seed
started from an individual plant. The
head Of this rye contains more rows
Of finished grain as compared with the
common rye which farmers recall has
only two double rows of grain. 1t is
this extra yield of the individual plant
that goes to make up the sum total
for the acre yield.
The following farmers are known
to have had an acreage of this seed
this year: Austin Mead. Grant Bray
ton, j. S. Jones, all of Manchester,
Iowa. An opportunity will be given

SEED CORN SITUATION. .

. u & i. .H Il ~
Inspection of corn over the country
shows that there are a good many
fields in which corn is mot as well
advanced as 1t might be at this season
OF the year. Recent rains have had
tendency to encourage the growth of
the corn esecially on bottom lands.
Corn planted on light soil is finish
ing up well. If the rains continue it
may endanger the supply of seed corn
and 1t might be well to keep in mind
the early selection of seed this fall.
As Delaware County is subject to in
furious freezes during the latter part
of September, make sure of your
supply Of new seed and preserve any
old seed which you may have on hand
as 1t may come handy for next spring
planting.

A SIS EDUCATION FREE TO
PHONE GIRLS.

A comparison Of conditions be-
tween the opportunities open to va
rious lines OF female help, reveals
the fact that there is no other bust
ness training of similar attractive
ness than can be acquired so easily
as that of telephony-that is so con-
genial in its surroundings-or that
offers speedier and steadier oppor-
tunities for advancement
If a girl decides to take up ste
biography or bookkeeping as her
life work she is required to dedicate
a specified period of her life to the
requirement of the rudimentary
knowledge of the profession. In
addition she pays what in many
cases is a burdensome fee.
When she is out of school she
is forced to seek employment.
Since the desirable positions al
ways go to the experienced girl,
she may or may not get an i'm
mediate position. Usually she is
forced to change positions often be-
fore she is established in a place
where both she and her employer
are satisfied. At best, her lot in
the early years of her business life
is one of chance.
And-as is so often the case with
business women-after she has
reached a certain stage in life, if
she is not fortunate enough to have
contracted a happy marriage, she
finds it increasingly more difficult
to find and keep employment as
she grows older
Not so with the telephone en-
ployee.
Her training is quick and GER
tain-and is entirely at the expense
OF the employing company. If
she has other obligations in life
which she must fill-such as COM
plotting her high school or college
education, she can do so and at the.
same time learn the telephone
work. For the hours can be adj
justed to suit her convenience. Bet
ter still, if she is trying to pay for

SPLENDID CLASS OF GIRLS IN
TELEPHONE WORK.

For instance, there is Miss
Eleanor Stuckwish, a recent grad
uate of Manual Training High
School. Less than two years ago
Miss Stuckwish entered the tele-
phone school. For one year she
was an operator. For the succeed
ing ten months she served in one
OF the clerical departments. Today
she is an instructor in The very
school that was her first introduc-
ton to the work.
Miss Stuckwish says that the
fascinating nature of the work is
not the only thing that attracts
girls to telephone work.
Il really think" she says, that
I should like the work even Il it
were not so interesting. That is
because Of the wonderful opportun-
tiles to form friendships with the
right kind of girls.
Really, l never saw a place out
side of high school, where so many
fine girls could get together.
Another feature that pleases me
is the advantages we have for
recreation. The company gives us
three resi-. periods a day that can
be spent G9he beautiful restroom.
Indiana daily times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1914-1922, 1920-05-01

as great an outlay as that on the
telephone education of an employe,
we are going to dc everything we
can to hold her interest in the
work"
That is why girls who enroll in
the school. in addition to collecting
from the company during the >ime
they are learning the work, are
given an increase as soon as they
graduate into the actual work itself
and have other increases awaiting
them just as fast as they improve
in efficiency. 1t is also why the
telephone company guarantees q
permanent position, with good op-
portunities for advancement, to
every girl who will take the course
and become proficient in the work
There are at this time va
cancies to be filed by skilled opera
tors, both toll and local, as we'll as

HUNDREDS OF GIRLS NEEDED
FOR ADVANCED POSITIONS.

HUNDREDS OF GIRLS NEEDED
FOR ADVANCED POSITIONS.
AS a matter Of fact hundreds of
girls are needed at all times to fiji
these higher positions. and enroll
ment in the school is the first step
on the ladder of Advancement.
Ahead of the student are .ppor-
tunities to become operators, toll
operators, information operators,
trouble clerks, assistant supervisors.
supervisors, assistant instructors,
instructors, recruiting officers, well,
fare workers, etc. IN addition
graduates of the school often find
most congenial occupations IN the
many clerical departments requir-
ing skilled help of highly special
ICED nature.
The ground work of all these
well paid higher positions Is laid
during the time the girl is being
paid to learn her new vocation.
This groundwork consists in
detailed knowledge of the switch
board, and instructions in its opera
ton. The students are taught to
find any number quickly and sure
ly. By the time they have finished
the earlier classes, each girl is
thoroughly familiar with the funda-
mentals of the work.
Then comes the practice operat.
Ing, in a room that duplicates in ap-
0earance a section of the actual

WONDERFUL REST AND REC
REATlON FEATURES.

For instance, the rest room in
the main building is glass-enclosed,
just like a sun parlor. And, for all
the world, it is furnished exactly
like a fine, big sun parlor, with de-
lightful wicker furniture.
Great wicker chairs and rockers
are scattered all about the rug
strewn hardwood floors. Here and
there are restful wicker couche5,
on which the girls can recline
while listening to the music of the
piano or victrola.
One or the other of these instru-
ments is constantly in use. At one
end of the room the floor is kept
clear of rugs and furniture. Here
there are always a few couples 60
ing through their dance steps. In
deed, dancing seems to be one Of
the most popular forms Of off
time" diversion. And, strange tho
1t may seem, this form of musical
exercise seems to be just as rest
full and refreshing as a snooze on
one of the touches.
For those who desire to read, a
Well-stocked circulating library Is
provided. All the current newspa-
pers and magazines are likewise
kept on hand.
At night, when the lights are
lighted, this rest room, with its
bright-faced girls taking their ease,
is really one of the most enchant-
ing spots imaginable
The company finds it pays to
keep the girls bright and cheerful,
for this increases their efficiency
and makes their work more ap-
preciated by the subscribers Every
one knows how pleasant it is to
hear kind, cheerful voice over
the telephone.
The company endeavors to make
all the voices of it's girls pleasant

SALARY is INCREASED MINED
lately ON GRADUATION.

AS soon as she is declared pro-
ficient her salary is increased, and
mere also, if her daytime duties
prevent her from taking up the
work during the ordinary working
hours, employment win be found
for her every day at such hours as
may best fit her convenience.
Those who know say that this is
true of no other occupation a WON
an can enter.
Another appealing feature is the
fact that the girl can find work
near her own home if she so de-
sires.
For instance, in indianapolis
there are seven different telephone
exchanges, each located in a dif-
ferent part of the city, and each
complete in its appointments. ANY
girl who has finished her training
course can be transferred to the
exchange within easiest reach of
her place of residence.
Still another advantage accruing
to the graduates of the telephone
school are special insurance bene-
fits and pension features.
AS for the school itself, it is
remarkable institution, occupying a
large area of floor space on the
fourth floor of the Main" exchange
building at Meridian and New York
streets.
There are regular class rooms,
equipped with the convenient one
arm chairs, and the blackboards
found in all well-equipped business
and academic schools of higher
education.
Competent instructors teach the
beginners all the duties and accom-
plishments of the telephone opera
tor, and point out to her the hany
opportunities for advancement that
await those who become proficient.

WORK EASILY ACQUIRED.

The work is of a nature that can
easily be acquired by any girl Of
average intelligence. But this does
not deter girls of finished education
from taking 1t up. At the Top in
many exchanges will be found the
products of some Of our best
schools and colleges. They find the
work fascinating and lucrative.
They find that in this work, as IN
few others, they are permitted to
mingle with young women of picked
qualities-bright, clean girls, for
the most part of even disposition,
and all I'm all fit to associate with
any one.

faster and faster. and with increas-
ing speed and accuracy she per
forms her tasks.
Now she is ready to leave the
school. If it were not for the fact
that her salary had been increased
she would be scarcely aware of the
change. She finds conditions in
the big switchboard room an exact
counterpart of those she left in the
higher grades of the school.
She is started on the real road Of
accomplishment as finished
votary of telephony.

PERMANENT POSITIONS WITH
ADVANCEMENT FOR ALL
WHO QUALIFY

All in all, the work is made just
as interesting and attractive as
possible. AS matter of fact, one
official of the Eelephone company
said, you can readily see why we
go to such trouble and expense to
make the girls happy. The train
ing we give each girl is very ex-
pensive. 1t costs at least SIS to
put girl through the school. That
expense is borne by us and not by
the girl Naturally, having made

TELEPHONE WORK is NOT AT
ALL MYSTERIOUS.

And really, there is nothing mys-
terious about it, at all. The work
is very easily learned. Most girls
graduate from our training school
in as little as two weeks. But
whether they take two or three
weeks longer, they are paid while
learning. I think in many cases

WHAT MARGARET SALESMAN
. THINKS ABOUT 1T.
- If you are inclined to doubt that
statement, listen to what Miss Mar
garet SALESMAN has to say on the
subject.
Incidentally, it may interest you
to know that back in the spring CT
1915 this young lady was a student
in the high school at Knoxville,
Tenn In April of that year she
came to Indianapolis and answered
to the call of telephone work.
She was enrolled as a student il
one of the beginners classes, in
what is often called the most prac
teal business school in existence
devoted to education in a single line
of industry.
Less than two years later Miss
SALESMAN had passed through the
several stages Of promotion from
operator to supervisor, which lucra-
liz position she held with great
Success
For several months during the
year Of 1919 she was transferred to
the employment department, where
she served as a recruiting officer.
and was exceptionally successful in
obtaining new employees.
All of which varied history proves
that the graduates of the Telephone
School face ample opportunities for
advancement and salary increases.
Miss SALESMAN says she would not
trade places with any girl she
knows in any other occupation.
This brings us back to the
original statement that telephone
employees insist theirs is the most
interesting of work.
On this subject Miss SALESMAN
says:
The work around the telephone
exchange is positively the most fas-
cinating in the world. Until you
have had a taste of it you can not
begin to imagine how it stimulates
the imagination.
Just think of it, the telephone
girl has at her finger tips the whole
commercial and social intercourse
of the community. She really feels
the pulse of all that is going on in
the vicinity of the exchange. = In
case Of accident or fire, her work
A%cks up. The wires are literally
kept hot with the excitement of the
community. And through it all she
feels the great responsibility of
service to all who make use of the
telephone. When you look at it
that way, there can not be any oc-
cupation more fascinating than that
of the telephone girl.

selves happy and cheerful at all

of the girls is safeguarded in every
possible way.
