GIRLS ARE WELL PAID WHILE
LEARNING THE WORK.

Among the many other reasons
is the fact that it costs the girl
nothing to learn the work. Indeed,
although a course in the business
school operated by the company
must be taken by every girl enter
ing the work, she is paid well while
she is learning.
Usually her first definite assign
ment is on the local switch board.
But if she is alert, she does not stay
there long. There are literally hun
dreds of openings on up ahead
each at corresponding increase in
salary.
Take the case of Margaret Coop
er. At first, she was a Local Oper-
ator, then a Long-Distance Opera
tor, and then Long-Distance Chief

Edith Zimmerman, Prospect
Chief, started telephone work in
company with her sister. She
says; When we asked for work
we were very timid and had it not
been for the kind Chief Operator,
we would probably have retraced
our steps and missed the chance
of working for a company that
stands by its girls. Telephone work
is the only kind of work have ever
done and each day seems more in
teresting than the day before"
These girls are not alone in their
love for telephone work. All of the
girls agree that the work is unusu-
ally attractive.
It is easy to learn, well paid, and
is in every sense of the word pro-
fession.

According to the young women
who have taken up the profession
of telephony, there is practically no
business opportunity a girl can
grasp that offers so certain adj

hundreds of higher positions occu-

have been in telephone work but
comparatively short time.
And the records of the Telephone
Company show that the higher po-
sitions are not all filed by any
means. The demands for telephone
service are multiplying so rapidly
that it is a problem to educate girls
fast enough to take the more re-
sponsible positions as they develop.
That is one reason why telephone
work is becoming more and more
attractive as a profession for young

POULTRY VALUABLE INDUSTRY

Few people of this State realize
value of the Poultry industry. The
Bureau Of Bureau of Crop Estimates
of the United States Department of
Agriculture placed the value of the
1919 Poultry and Egg crop at ST.
364,178,000. At the recent annual
American Poultry Accociation Con-
ventioa held in Kansas City, it was
stated by the highest authorities in
this Association that the 1920 crop
would reach 5000, 100000 900. Con-
cordia parish is far below normal in
the production Of poultry and eggs.
The Demonstration Agents are son-
ducting,a campaign in the interest," of

Der goth to 25th. 1t is the purpose
of this campaign to bring into the
Parish a number of pens of Standard
bred fowl. The local agents will be

HOME AGENTS REPORT ON CLUE
ACTIVITIES

We are planning three community
club fairs, at which the boys and girls
are to exhibit poultry, garden pro-
ducts and canning, writes Miss Ola
OVERLY, home agent in Caddo Parish.
In addition, the girls will show any
fancy work or sewing they have done,
and some cooking too, such as bis
cults, cornbread and cake. The boys
will show a selected dozen eggs and
any poultry fixtures they have made.
The winners at these fairs, which will
be held in Greenwood, Ida and Wv
ian, will exhibit their products at the
parish and state fairs.
This week was devoted to placing
canned vegetables and fruits that had
been prepared for the market by
women and girls, says Mrs. Lillian
Still, home agent in Sabine Parish.
The merchants were glad to handle
it, and no trouble was experienced
in placing all the club products.
While on a train the other day l
noticed little boy reading an agri-
cultural bulletin, and open inquiry,
found that he was a club boy, writes
Miss Laura l. Marine, assistant home
agent, in St. Landry parish. He told
me that he was from Kinder and that
he had been working hard this sum-
mer. He had been over to Baton
Rouge, and while there Mr.. Smith
had shown him how to bud fruit trees

No country, no state, no commu-

the things with which to feed itself.
For decades Louisiana's rice, cotton
