The Service Situation
CUMBERLAND TEEEPHoNE & TELEGRAPH COMPANY

~ Telephone services should be adequate, eff
fcient and dependable; sufficient in guam
tity, satisfactory in quality and furnished
without interruption.
q Adequate service is dependent upon ade-
puate facilities.
Efficient service is dependent upon a suf-
ficient number Of trained employees to
maintain and operate the facilities.
1 Dependable service is dependent upon
both adequate facilities and trained forces.
The facilities are paid for with the money
invested in the business. Trained forces
are paid with the money paid to the Com
Qany by the public for the service furnished.
/ In no other way can these essential req
Eisites of service be had. The needed facii-
cites are never paid for out of the earnings
of the company, and the employees are
never paid out Of the capital of the COM
pany.
Subsequent statements will show, what
4he Company has done to meet its obliga-
tion to furnish both facilities and forces.
Everyone knows that this Company's
service has been dependable. Throughout
1he war and in spite of strikes and the most
abnormal conditions ever known, our sery-
ace was furnished without interruption.
while the service now is not adequate to
meet the unprecedented demand, due to
causes which win be given later, the facts
show that the Company is now furnishing a
far greater quantity of service than ever
before.
The following figures show the service
furnished within the State of Mississippi,

FISH SQUABBLE is
DISCUSSED LOCALLY

Interest in the election and annual
meeting Of the Hood River County
Game Protective Association last night
Increased through the preceding week
as intimsti0ns were dropped that the
action Of the State Fish & Game Com
mission in oustipg State Biologist Fin
ley would be discussed. While men,

strongest leagues of sp0rtsmen in the
STATE, were hesitant in expressing
themselves. the general sentiment
seemed 10 favor Mr.. Finley.
Open criticism Of Governor Olcott's
vacIllatiOns IN the matter were made,
and sentiment of sportsmen indicate
that the proposal Of two commissions
instead of one to handle game and
commercial fishing would be opposed.
As resolutions on the matter were in
prospect the meeting was well attend

Coy Olcott now arises to his op-

ordination and make the going easy
the governor proposes that we have
two commissions instead of one.
1T seems TO me that some of our
officials lie awake nights studying
some new scheme to tap the public
purse. If there is crying need for
the legislature to do one thing more
than another it is to cut out few
commissions instead of forming new
ones 1t is about time for the public
TO have its inning and reduce the num-
ber of tax eaters.

Discolored or Spotted
Skin Easily Peeled Off

The frecking, discoloring or rough
ening to which most skins are subject
at this season, may readily be gotten
rid Of Ordinary mercolized wax,
spread lightly over the face before re-

with soap and water, completely peels
off the disfigured skin. You need not
get more than an ounce of the wax
from your druggist. There's no more
effective way of banishing tan, freck-
les or other cutaneous defects. Little
skin particles come off each day, so
the process itself doesn't even tenn

soon acquire brand new, spotless,
