CARRIED 19 BILLION
MESSAGES LAST YEAR

Last year the American telephone sys-
TEN carried nineteen billion eommuni-
cations.
The total distance covered by these
nineteen billion messages was over
forty-fivc billion miles. Assuming that
equally satisfactory results could be OBJ
tanned wcsc messages to be carried by
speciat messengers, it is interesting to
estimate the physical magnitude of the
task involved. Assuming that each mes.
senger works nine hours per day aud
averages ten miles per hour, it would
require 100000 messengers and, at a
conservative estimate, would cost ten
billion dollars TO handle this business
which the telephone handles at cost
Of about $600,O00,000 and with 800, 900
employees.
Forty-siX years ago there was one
telephone in the world-thc instrument
which Bell invented. Today there is in
the United States one telephone for
every sight persons.
Forty-six years ago there were two
telephone employes-Bcll and his assist
ant. Today there are 100000.
Forty-six years ago the world s entire
telephone plant could have been held in
one man S hand. Today, in this country
alone, there are, among other items, 14,-
900 instruments, upwards of II 900
central offices, aud 3t,000,000 miles Of
wire, the whole telephone plant showing
"a book cost of more than $1,000 100000.

nearly every day. Farmers bring Iii
produce syrup, ,Wect potatoes, c>,rn.
and green hides, and exchange them
for rice, bricks, lumber or labor SER
vice.
The exchange of labor is also part
of the service rendered. Farmers
bring their plows to be sharpened, wa
gons 10 be repaired, and mules to be
shod, Frequently they bring syrup,
corn, or sweet potatoes as payment.
Interest in raising better hogs due
largely to the example set by the Co.
lony-has resulted in CoIony-raised
pigs being exchanged for farm pro-
ducts.
One farmer brought in II gallons Of
syrup. and will bring in additional a.
mounts, These are in payment for
brick, A Colony brick-layer will go
out and build fire place and CHM
|ney.
The development of the exchange
means that the Colony will be able to
exchange services and labor products
in an increasing quantity, while the
farmers Of the parish will have the OPP
portunity to exchange their products
for things they need, and be assured
of fair and square deal.

WHAT THE POLICE ARE FOR

New York New York, in the
streets of which 1854 children were
killed last year, has 1900 dangerous
street crossings which are unprotected
by traffic policemen, according to
Chief Magistrate William McAdoo. The
chief magistrate declared that the re-
sponsibility for the deaths of many ol
these children lies in tire fact that these
danger spots are unguarded.
New York has plenty of police as
signed to see that there is no petty
gambling. to keep pushcart peddler:
moving, to watch women, to harrass
union picket lines, and every now ane
then to play in band when the police
commissioner goes on parade, and fol
