New Telephone
System in Use
CUTOVER TO AUTOMATIC SYS-
TEN MADE THURSDAY. SER
VICE SATISFACTORY.

The cutover to the automatic sys-
tenn recently installed by the Redwood
Falls Electric Telephone Company
was made last Thursday night and
with the exception of comparatively
small number of individual phones,
the system is working well and Civ
ing satisfactory results. Considering
the magnitude of the change from the
former system to the present one the
interruption to continuous service has
been surprisingly slight. Every eff
fort is being made to correct all err
rors and it is expected that by the
end of the week, if not earlier, every
thing will be working perfectly.
Patrons of the line are having some
little difficulty to accustom themselves
to the use OF the dial and many of the
errors which are credited to the tele-
pncne Ines, Instruments or connec-
cions really arise from this inexperi-
ence. The directions given in the new
directories mist be followed explicitly
and patiently, and if this is done it is
probable that the patron will be able
to locate his own trouble without send
ing an S. 0. S. to the central office.
From the office comes the follow
ing directions to which all patrons are
asked to give particular attention.
About two thirds of the troubles re-
ported have been found to be directly
attributable to the neglect of these
simple and plain directions.
PLEASE READ THE DIREC-
TIONS CAREFULLY.
Take the receiver from the hook
before dialing. (This is very frequ-
emily not done).
Take plenty of time to dial, always
letting the dial go back, at it's own
rate, to full stop, before dialing
second number.
when you make mistake, or dial
a wrong number, be sure to hang up
the receiver before dialing again.
You cannot correct your mistake with
out doing this. This is also an error
which is responsible for much trou-
ble).
when you hear the busy signal al
ways hang up the receiver Immediate
ly. lf you don't know what the
busy signal sounds like dial your own
number once, and find out.
"If for any reason the connection is
interrupted during a conversation,
both parties must hang up their re-
ceivers and the person making the call
in the first place, must dial again in
order to get the connection. (If both
try to dial the only result is the
"busy" signal.
NOTICE TO PARTY LINE SUB
.SCRIBERS. When the other party
on your line dials your bell will ring
slightly. Do NOT mistake this for
your bell and take down your receiver
this will spell the other party's con-
nection. Before answering your tele-
phone be sure that you get distinct
ring en- your bells.
IF you get the wrong party hang
up your receiver Immediately and then
dial the number over again. Never
listen in on the other party as that
spoils the other party's connection"
PLEASE READ THE DIREC-
TIONS CAREFULLY"

Follow Conference Sugges- ton That Municipalities
 Care for Unemployed

Washington. October 4.--Col. Ar thur Woods. former police commis- sioner of New York, will head the central agency to be established here by the national conference on unem- ployment to coordinate emergency relief of the workless wage-earners throughout the country
 The conference desires, Secretary Hoover said in making the announce ment today, to see the whole country organized on community basis to effect the quick distribution of jobs ficient operation of the emergency programme adopted last week. h. formal machinery, voluntary ;n it's nature, is being set up in the form of one of the conference commit tees, which, under the direction of Colonel Woods. can receive reports from various communities of the progress being made and transmit to the different localities successful methods tried out in others.
 Hope was expressed in high ad- ministration circles today that Presi- cent Harding's suggestion for re- view by community authorities of the unemployment situation, and steps taken to alleviate 1t in local areas would produce a picture from which it would be possible to determine where there is evidence of "slacker- ism in any community.
 The municipal and other authori- ties were said to have shown great interest in steps being planned in Washington to deal with unemploy- ment, and where any community has failed to proffe aid to its own un- employed, it is felt that it would be brought to such undesirable noto- riety through publication of the facts munity would would promptly fol- low.
 Reports of local organizations are coming into the conference steadily, MT Hoover said today, adding that telegrams had been received from the mayors of Memphis, Chattanooga, Nashville and Youngstown, O.. stat ing that they were organizing to meet their unemployment situations along the lines suggested by the con ference.
 Tn connection with means for emergency reliet the full report of the committee on municipal organi- zation for unemployment made pub lie tonight said:
 "The methods of accomplishing re- suits must vary with each locality and no methods capable of universal adoption can with safety be recom- mendcd Therefore, specific recom- mendations to communities are con- fined to the very urgent one that following the leadership of their mayors, with united local commit tees, they accept this primary ob- ligation to the full"
