Ocean CITY.
AUTOMATIC TAMPER INSTALLED.

The Morrison Concrete Products Co.
is installing a new automatic tamper
for the manufacture of concrete build
ing blocks at its plant on East Park
avenue. The automatic machine will
turn out four concrete blocks every
minute. This record compares with
the man power work in the ratio that
a man can only turn out one block in
two minutes. The Morrison plant is
soon to be moved to a new location
on the Shore Fast Line at Shadeland
avenue. This will give additional ia
~eilities for handling cement and other
raw materials, and also facilitate the
shipping of the finished product.

Looking through an old Bell Directory
Is as interesting as rummaging through
grandmother trunk in the attic.
1t is a good way to check up on the progress of the
community 1t is surprising to find how often the first
users of the telephone were the men of vision who later
developed into leaders in their respective fields.
The first telephone directory was merely a sheet
of paper with the names of about a dozen subscribers.
In most cases no numbers were printed in the directory
and calls were made by name. You simply said to the
operator Get me Mrs. Jones'
Every new telephone directory is a new footprint
in the path of progress. The extension of the service
and your increasing dependence on this means of com
munication is a tribute to the performance of the Bell
Telephone System in the past.
New problems of operation and management de
velop as fast as the old ones are solved, but we have
faith in our ability to meet the demands of each new
era as we have met those of the past.
And we have the benefit of the experience of others
who are working on similar problems in other parts
of the Bell System.

Hunters to Chamberlain Basin,

A party of big game hunters will
pass through Emmett on Fridays
train with Chamberlain Basin as their
destination. Two freight cars will
be required to carry the equipment,
which includes so bear hounds and
saddle and pack horses. In the party
are Dr. Myers of Wichita, Kan, w.
H. McFadden and Joe Swindler of
Ponca City, Okla, and V. V. Lilly of
Silver City, N. Mex, all wealthy oil
operators. They plan to spend the en-
tire summer hunting. Idaho sports
men will view with alarm this formi-
dable hunting foray upon one of the
states choicest big game districts,
and they viii wonder why the state
game department gives permission to
such expeditions, whose only purpose.
evidently, is the ruthless slaughter of
the big game Of the forest. Last year
similar party created havoc in the
vicinity Of Warrens and aroused the
ire Of the settlers Of that section. A
vigorous protest should be made to
the game department against such ex-
petitions.
