The Telephone Con,pany's
Obligations

The object and the obligation of public utility
is to furnish service. This obligation as applies
to the telephone company, that it shall fur
nish at all times good, dependable service service
that is good not only from technical standpoint
but that is satisfactory from the standpoint of the
patron.
Telephone service embraces a variety of opera
tons; the installation of telephones and changes in
location; telephone operating; maintenance of the
central office equipment outside plant and tele-
phone apparatus; accurate and up-to-date directory
listings; billing; collecting and numerous other
things that must be done to give service that will
be complete and satisfactory.
1t is the aim of the management to keep in
mind at all times these obligations. To fulfill them
satisfactorily, it is necessary that the revenues re-
ceived for its service will be sufficient to pay the
expenses of operation and yield fair return on the
value of the property used in the service This re-
turn is the money paid to investors upon whom the
Company must depend for capital to build and
expand it's system.
Notwithstanding aim to give the highest
possible standard of service, we realize that at
times dlfhcultles Will arise. Usually they
quickly remeded. But defects at times occur
which, in spite of our watchfuness, are not inme-
dately detected.
Our patrons will confer a favor upon US if they
will advise Immediately of such occurrences.
Or, if they may have at any time suggestions or
criticism which they think may lead to better tele-
phone service, will be grateful if these are made
known to US.

Many people thought as Mrs. Wal

sent away his son not only because
he opposed Walters marriage to a
nurse but also that he might escape
army service in the great war.
''To salve his conscience Mr.
Jones, Sr., fitted out Susanne with

An Unforeseen Danger

Under her weariness there was
the light of great love in Sheila's s
eyes. She seemed still to be lit
tie surprised at Phils absence, and,
although she said nothing, every
once in, q while she'd look toward
the door as though she expected him

At last I went forward and kiss
ed her, and It'd her where Phil was.
1t was astonishing how quickly all
the glory still visible in her eyes
was dimmed by that peculiar white,
frozen mist that shut down over
her countenance.

Very soon Susanne win know that

will hate me especially as she has
only her fathers side of the story.

Sheila's face went suddenly down
to my breast and buried itself in
the lace of my negligee. l raised
her head to find her weeping sill

idea that was not wholly unset

was imploring her not to weep be-
cause it gave me an uncomfortable
feeling to see her shaking with
sobs.
That Is the reason we say so of

weeping, "Don't cry, dear; don't
cry" And our friends think we are
sorry because they are unhappy
while we are only sorry because
their tears make us unhappy.

myself to task for saying: Don't

little closer, and let her weep I'M

After little Sheila looked up, and
putting her soft hands against each
side of my head, she brought it
down TO her tear stained face.
