The Service Is Yours

WHILE the plant Of The Telephone
Company belongs to the stock
holders, the Service belongs to the pubAe;
and it is under the control of the public
to much larger extent than it could pos
sibly be controlled by the Company inds-
pendently of the public.
As matter of fact, the telephone Of
ganization is simply an agency through
which community serves itself. If this
agency is hampered by unreasonable
legislation, restrictions or requirements,
or by inadequate revenues, or by unjust
burdens of taxation, the ability of the
agency to properly function 10 impaired
not wholly destroyed.
Because of the requirements Of the pub
lie for efficient and abundant telephone
service, the public has a very vital interest
in the financial health and general we'll
being of the Company.
With your whole-hearted moral and
financial support the Company can con-
tnue to give you the quality and quantity
of service you require.

How Cedar Chests Protect

II is the pleasant aroma that does
the trick OF protecting wool clothing
from moths Young moth worms simply
cannot stand the smell of red cedar.
They die and do not get a chance to
feed on your best suit. Grandmother
knew cedar chests were moth pre-
venters but 1t took Department Of
Agriculture experts to prove just how
the red cedar moth defense operates.
The adult or moth miller, its eggs, and
the pupae do not mind cedar. The
worms or larvae, which do the wool
eating, and which develop into pupae
after a satisfying wool feed, are killed
shortly after Matching by the odor Of
cedar that fills tightly closed cedar
chest. But, say the moth fighting ex-
perts two or three pounds Of un-
pleasant smelling napthalene, or moth
balls, placed in just an ordinary chest,
protect clothing just as well.

MOUNTAIN FIRE

The first forest fire of the spring
of 1922 broke out in the mountains
west of Lewistown at 7 o'clock Sun
day evening, and travelled northward
into tho Fishing Creek region.
Fire Warden Sylvester F. Moss, of
Yellow Springs, gathered together his
fire-fghting force and hurried to the
scene. BY 1890 he was reported to
have gotten it under control, a very
mild wind making the work compar-
atively easy.
At that hour the fire line was re-
ported as being a mile long. Part
of the woods burned over had been
swept by fire before, but most of it
is understood to be valuable timber
land.
No one lives in the region swept by
thefre and no houses were endanger-
ed. Reports at 1880 o'clock Were
that the fire was completely under
control and should be out by morning
The reflection was plainly visible at
Thurmont.

When?

A shrewd old gentleman described an
acquaintance as being 80 busy with
his good intentions that he never had
time to carry out any Of them" Most
of us have met that acquaintance"
There are persons who have no suspi-
cion of their own selfishness and use
lessness In the world, their good lnten-
tions have completely blinded them to
their lack of action. They dream mag
nificent dreams of the good that might
be accnmplished-if only conditions
we're little different. They openly
count the efforts and the benefactions
around them as scarcely worth while,
when so much more might be accom-
plished If only individuals and society
were in better shape.

What Quarter Sawed 10.

In some woods, notably the oaks, o
figure is produced by Quarter-sawing,
says the American Forestry Magazine.
In practically all woods there are rib
bons Of tissue which run at right
angles to the axis Of the tree like
spokes In a wheel. These are the rays.
often called medullary or pith rays
because some Of them appear as ex-
tensions Of the pith into the wood.
In all the conifers and most hard
woods these rays are too fine to show
distinctly. In others, as in maple.
cherry and mahogany, they are dis.
tinct but not conspicuous.
