This was true even during the period
When the Government was in possession
and control Of the telephone properties Of
this country.
The greater part Of the available tele.
phone equipment and materials was sent to
France, none Of which was ever returned.
On August LIST, 1919, when the telephone
properties We're returned to the owners by
the United States Government, the avail
able supply Of equipment and material was
so small and the needs of the telephone
companies in this country so great, that all
the telephone factories in the United States.
working day and night, could not within
three years have furnished the equipment
and materials necessary to restore the IA
cllltles to the pre-war status.
The equipment and material required by
this Company ITO complete its 1920 con.
sstruction program, will equal 1,4O0 car
loads OF freight, averaging 10000 pounds
to the car, hauled from different parts Of
this country and delivered at hundreds Of
places in the five states in which the Com
pany operates. This is equal to thirty-fye
trans OF al, average Of forty cars per train.
or $4,000 tons Of materials.
Every business man knows what this
means.
Freight shipments from the industrial
centers Of the North and East ordinarily
were delivered within two or three weeks:
now much longer time is required.
The Western Electric Company is the
largest manufacturer Of telephone eouip-
ment and materials in the world, It has
representatives in all the markets Of The
world. 1t buys its raw materials in vast
quantities at the lowest possible prices.
The Western Electric Company furnishes
this Company with the bulk Of it's eouip-
inent and materials and acts as our Supply
Agent.
1t did not accept any contracts from any
foreign government prior to the date the
United States entered the war and only
than at the instance Of the United States
Government. 1t thus held itself In readi-
ness to serve at its maximum efficiency the
needs Of the telephone industry in this
country.
It has capacity for much larger out.
put, but strikes, shortage Of productive Ia.
DOT, lack Of fuel and shortage Of Transport
tation, facilities affecting the securing Of
adequate raw rnaterials-has curtailed its
output.
We have not relied entirely on the West
ern Electric Company, but have placed or
ders with other manufacturers where they
could promise deliveries. Each manufac.
turer with whom we have placed orders Is
confronted with the same problems in se.
curing his supply Of raw materials
In the face Of all these difficulties the
manufacturers are turning out In excess Of
what was their normal output
the increased costs of labor and material
laring the past four years.

Civiliza ton and the Indian.

Some sociologists are lamenting the
appearance of some signs of what they
fear to be a reyersion among the Indian
tribes. They think they can find evil
dence of what they call commercialism
entering into financial explorations ac-
cpmpanying the annual dance feast of
the Bannock Indians in Idaho. The pole
dance of the Bannocks has in it some
striking and peculiar features which
draw as spectators hundred of whites,
and this year automobile tourists have
travelled long distances to be present as
spectators. And this year. for the first
time, the Bannocks, building a high
fence around an Enclosure in which the
dance has been held, have charged an
admission fee of half dollar.
The large attendance on a recent day
when the annual sun dance was held is
felt to have been the inspiration of the
commercialism of collecting an admis-
sion fee In addition, it is said, the In
dians have this year charged much
higher prices than ever before for the
trinkets usually sold at the annual as
semblages, and a large part OF the fear
Is that our brother in red has acquired
the habit of profiteering, which is also
lamented as an evidence that our ma
tional wards are retrograding away
from civilization
II might be answered that the Indi-
an, more civilized now than ever before,
has been caught in that vicious circle
OF high prices which is a present out
growth Of civilization, so far thas he
now finds it impossible to stage his
shows free, or sell his trinkets at for
mer prices. il profteering is an evil
dence of reVersion, the process is &C
lively at work in so many places that
sociologists can find abundant evil
denees of it. If the Indians are revert
ing from civilized standards, they are
not going alone But against this evi-
dence of some Indians acceptance of
lower standards than once were theirs.

TO KEEP OUT CORN BoRER
Discovery of Pest In St. Thomas, Can
ada, Stirs U. S. officials.

Washington, ID. G., Sept. 23.-Discoy
cry of the European corn borer in the
vicinity of st. Thomas, Canada, has
caused thesdepartment of agriculture to
send staff of entomologists TO Michi
gan to confer with local authorities to
forestall possible infestation of the
corn crop in that state.
( Experts of the bureau of entomology
are concerned over the appearance OF
the pest in Canada. Certain sections
of New York, Massachusetts, New
Hampshire and Pennsylvania already
have been quarsntined to keep the in
sect from making it's way to the corn
belt.
The corn borer in Canada is further
west than heretofore reported on this
continent, and the corn affected Is oil
the flint variety, which in New Eng
land and New York has appeared to he
especially susceptible TO injury by the
borer.

FISH INDUSTRY THREATENED.
There is Danger of Salmon Becoming
Extinct, Saws Professor Cobb.

An industry in which millions are
invested and from which great food
supply of high Importance is drawn,
is doomed to extinction unless the con
sumption of salmon can be balanced
by artificial propagation, says Prof.
John \. Cobb director OF the College
Of Fisheries of the University of Wash
ington and formerly the representative
of the United States bureau of fisher
les in Alaska. He says that efforts
in that direction have thus far fallen
short and that the salmon will com
mercially be in the class with the
buffalo unless something intervenes.
Continuing, he says:
Salmon is peculiarly exposed to the
peril of extinction because the bulk of
this fish is taken during the spawning
runs. The adult fish after growing to
maturity in the open sea ascends fresh
water rivers TO spawn at the age OF
four years, and after spawning dies.
Fishermen and packers are well aware
the unrestricted catching of salmon
would presently put them out of bust
ness, but hatchery projects and pro

offset by the expansion of the fishing
industry in response to the market de
mands."
The pack of salmon reached its
height during the war. Last year the
output of all canneries on the Pacific,
including those in Japan British Coz
lumbia and Siberia, was s,s40,5l4.
Americans produced 6,630,347 cases of
this amount. case contains forty
eight one pound cans. In all the riv-
ers of the entire Pacific coast of North
America the mysterious life cycles of
the five species of salmon are com
pleted under varying conditions But
whatever the spawning habit of Civ
en- species in any water, the taking of
each salmon means the destruction of
a large quantity of spawn, says Prof
Cobb. The taking of salmon is forbid
den during specified days of each week
to permit percentage 10 reach the
spawning beds, and in addition the
hateheries plant millions of spawn each
season.
But man is cutting into natures re
serves faster than he is replenishing
them" he says. "and il is predicted
that within ten years an abrupt slump
in the catch may put an end 70 the in

most conditions it is impossible for
the farmer to seek special market
for his eggs, hut he should be very

promptly taken to market. Failure to
do this is responsible for the spelling
OF great many eggs.
