New Phone Gable

A section of the new cable, such
as is being installed by the New Eng
land Telephone Company, may be
seen at the Office of the manager, r.
P. Gray. It was explained to the
Journal reporter, Wednesday fore
noon, not that any of the important
facts stayed, but the explanation was
all very interesting, that special piece
of cable contained the carriers for
1900 lines. Each carrier is a tiny
copper wire. encased in tissue paper
and the whole looks very much like
the frayed end of a huge sky-rocket.
The cables are being cut over and
the work is being done in remark
able manner, with a surprisingly
small amount Of delay in the service.

WHAT SERVICE COSTS

We hear great deal of talk about
service" among citizens and often
wonder if they realize just what
service costs. We wonder if they
realize that service is a sort of in
vincible tax, and that if we insist
on service we must pay that tax.
According to a statistician SIC of
the consumers dollar represents the
cost of producing the article, lac
represents all profits and ACC the
cost of service. In other words a
farmer sells pound of beef, on the
hoof, at the stockyards i nChicago,
and then goes down town to a res
taurant and pays a dollar for it.
This does not mean, however, that
somebody, or group of somebody's,
is profiteering to the tune of soc.
Perhaps nobody has profiteered-
the man who sold the beef paid for
service. OF course he didn't want
to kill the steer and dress it AMI
Keep the meat on ice, neithe- did
he want to put it on the end of a
stick and hang it over fire to cook
He wanted to sit down to 4 table
with linen and silverware on it; he
wanted music from an orchestra
while he was eating and a waiter to
clrry him ice water and stand al his
side Tor further orders. He want
ed that thing we call Service and
he got 1t and paid for it.-Exchange

HONEY PHILOSOPHY FOR 1921

Most of the quarrels between
neighbors GROW out of resentment
over something or other And how
they DO grow. A queer cipher,
that resentment" thing. We don't
fling resentment at the north blast
when it frosts our noses. We don't
hand resentment to ourselves when
we stumble and break our arm. We
don't turn resentment on a machine
when it slices finger off. But let
plain, errorful human being, like
ourselves, say or de- something that
doesn't touch the right side of us
and we hurl our resentment at him.
If the world cut out resentment al
together-but it would take book
to tell the good things that would
come to his old earh in that event.

YOEMAN HOME
IS NOW ASSURED

The site Of the Yeoman home has
not yet been definitely decided, not
withstanding reports that certain pla-
ces had been decided upon. We un.
dsrstand that both the Church and
Zang ranches at Broomfield, eight
miles north Of Arvada are receiving
favorable consideration and that
the decision seems to hang between
the two. But it has been definitely
decided that with "Save the Children
Of America" ~ its slogan, the Broth
srhood Of American Yeoman will es-
tablish a national home for the or
phans and half orphons Of the. order.
Plans for this project were adopted
at q recent meeting of the directors
Of the society, when it was decided
to levy . monthly tax Of 10 centsup-
on each Of the more than 100000
members distributed throughout the
nation from coast to coast. This coll
lection will total $500, 900 a year. 1t
10 expected that when the institution
has reached its ultimate development
It will represent an investment of
$4,000, 900.
1--WE believe as Yeomen," said w.
r. Shirley Of Oklahoma, chairman Of
the board Of directors, "that we can
render no finer or larger service
than to care for our orphans in a
home and school where they will have
the best opportunity for training that
will develop their possibilities for
useful service and citizenship.
Eighty per cent Of the crimes
against property and the person, ac-
cording to official statistics, are per-
petrated by individuals that never
had or have lost contact with home
life. We propose to save the children
Of Yeomen from being cast adrift
In unfavorable environment to be-
come . menace to society. We will
establish an institution that will be q
home in the fullest sense where our
orphans will be insured peace, happi-
ness and an education"
The home, it is announced, will be
free Of the III effects Of institution
alism. Il will be Oh the cottage plan

CENTENNIAL STATE ITEMS.

Reports OF county assessors to the

hat more farmers in Colorado are
rowing corn than nny other crop,
