CLASSIFIED PHONE DIRECTORY.
Topeka Soon to Have Before-the-War
Advantages in Information.

Because of a general demand for a
classified business section of the tele-
phone directory in addition to the reg

western Bell Telephone company is
preparing to publish the new section
in its spring directory to be issued
about the first of May.
Since the discontinuance of the pub
LEGATION of the classified section several
wears ago, company officials say, there
has been decidedly evident demand
for the re-installation of this service.
There are hundreds of times daily that
a classification of this sort would
proye useful to local Industrial and
commercial concerns. Every city of
any consequence in the United States
provides this service and convenience
for its subscribers. Considerable sur
prise was evinced when the Bell dis
continued what had always been con-
sidered a useful feature of their
service.
Listings in the classified section will
be allowed only to business subscrlb-
ers. They may be listed under one or
more applicable. headings. Beginning
with the May directory, the charge
will be twenty-five cents for each
listing.
According to officials. the classified
section will be printed on canary col
ored paper and bound in each direc-
tory. No display or card advertising
will be permitted in this section of the
directory. 1t will thus afford clear.
concise and quickly accessible list OF
all business establishments, alpha beti-
cally arranged according to headings
and listings. Fourteen thousand d.

peka and vicinity.
Letters have been sent out to all
subscribers informing them of the in
stallation of this service. Cards have
been enclosed by which subscribers
may designate the style IN which they
desire to be listed.
The classified section will be added
to the directory If the subscriptions
are sufficient to warrant it.

BEWARE OF THE GAS TINKER
Manager Treleaven Advises Consumers
to Watch Out for "Slicker.''

Beware the itinerant gas repair
man who would come into your home
and, by a few simple adjustm ents, save
you a young fortune on your gas bill,
is the advice of L. G. Treleaven, re-
ceiver of the Consumers Light, Heat
& Power company.
Treleaven said he has received many
complaints about this tinker-or tink-
ers-wl1o claims severa1 Kansas towns

men expressly for the purpose of re-
pairing gas stoves and pipes" he said.
land their services cost the consumer
nothing. 1t is to our interest to see
that the consumers get the best serv-
ice possible.
This roaming tinker calls at the
home and asks the lady of the house
he can save her money by repairs the
cost of which will be slight compared
with the amount saved on the gas bill.
He will explain how there is too much
air in the gas flow and that she is
having to pay money for air. His
manner is convincing and the house
wife usually permits him to fix the
stove. While he isF busy with the
tools. the repair man tells interesting
ly of his travels and of his family.
Then he collects his fee, promising to
return anon. One of his clients
says she has not had a return visit
from him, but that she has had to
pay a larger gas bill since he called
than ever before.
Tre1eaven urges gas consumers to
call up the gas company if they de-
sire to have any repairs made.

The little town of Bancroft, K0ssut.. ..
county, has couple of live wires, the
name of the firm being Hutton & Jenkt
who have demonstrated that small
town stuff is not to be sneezed at.
They publish the Bancroft Register but
their principal business is doing high
class printing. When the state printer
was abolished and a plan was made for
the letting of the state work out to re.
sponsible bidders it was generally sup.
posed that the Iowa Homestead would
do most of the state printing. but GER
tain restrictions in the law did not ap.
peal to the Homestead people SO the
state was forced to find somebody to do
the business and it was at this point
that Hutton & jerks made themselves
useful. They are now turning out all
kinds of high class work from one of
the best equipped printeries to be found
anywhere in the United States in a
town no larger than Bancroft.

are not necessary. He has two tractors,
