eral Grant, their commander, as "a
candidate for the presidency. These
men, with the grrlelling experiences
and army hardships fresh in their
minds, joined in the opposition, and
openly condemned their comrade

others will recall, how only short
time later these same men were the
first to recognize that Grant was
one of them; and putting aside their
small, differences and grievances,
they once held, they joined in Sc
curing the election OF their old COM
rade.

and America will witness the men
who fought with Pershing in
France or in this country fighting
actively for him in the presidential
campaign. 1t would be impossible

The Facts Of tine Telephone
Situation in Louisiana
- B, ,E ,,. Brown. rs.i,a, Y =
* CUMBERLAND TELEPHONE
The Service Situation
By J. Eprs Brown, fresiIc,,


Telephone service should be adequate effici-
ent ard dependGo!e; sufficient in quantity, sat
isfactory in quality and furnished without inter-
ruptior.
Adequate service is dependent upon adequate
facilities.
Efficient service is dependent upon a suffi-
ent number of trained employees to maintain and
operate the facilities
Dependable service is dependent upon both
adequate facilities and trained forces
TIE facilities are paid for with the money in
vested in the business. Trained forces are paid
with the money paid to the Company by the pub
lie Tor the service furnished.
IN no other way these essential requisites
Of service be had. The needed facilities are never
paid for cut Of the earnings of the company, and
the employees are never paid out of the capital
of the company.
Subsequent statements will show what the
Coz 1any has done to meet its obligation to furn-
ish beth facilities and forces
Everyone knows that this Companyfs service
has been dependable Throughout the war and
in spite of strikes and most abnormal conditions
ever known, our service was furnished without
interruption. While the service now is not aGe-
quate to meet the unprecedented demand due to
causes which will be given later, the facts show
that the Company is now furnishing far greater
quantity OF service than ever before.
The following figures show the service furnish
ed within the State of Louisiana:
