BOY OPERATORS
USED TO JOLLY
THEIR PATRONS
Supplanted By Girls Because They
Wouldn't Settle Down to Business.

One experiment in the early days
of the telephone porved dismal fail
ure-that of employing boys as CEN
trail Office operators. Even with care
full supervision, it was found, the
youngsters lacked the necessary ap-
plication and ability to settle down to
the serious business that their job re-
quired, and the plan of using girl
operators was soon adopted and has
been followed generally ever since.
A writer in the Kansas City Star
records the "reminiscences of one of
these boys, now grown gray-haired,
of the days of the early sos when
he and another lad held the telephone
destinies of the Kansas City sub
scribers in the hollow of their hands
or more properly speaking, between
the chubby and, doubtless, begrimed
fingers which plugged in the connec-
tons on the crude switchboard over
which they presided.
Among the first to install one of
the new wonder toy, the for e. G.
orator declares, ''was the 'lhcate
Comique, the variety house down at
Fourth and Walnut. They advertised
that they would place it on the stage
every night with megaphone attach
ment, and SO we had to cut in pretty
nearly all our customers on that line
every night and they would all get
talking to one another, and believe
me, we had a merry time with that
bunch. The Comique crowd was a
source of endless amusement for the
bright boys at central. 1t was the
custom for parties in different parts |
of town to call up and ask connec-
tons with anybody, just to see how
the thing worked. There was a pref

the homeless practically destitute. 1t
is estimated that more than 100000
will be needed for food alone before
conditions become normal and the
waters subside. Altogether more than
$500 square miles of territory are
now covered by raging waters and
the flood seems now ON the increase
so that even a greater number of
square miles may be submerged be-
fore the waters reach their crest.
Active relief has been extended by
the Red Cross since the first levee
broke and this work will be continued
as fast as new funds permit. Over
100000 have so far been expended
by national headquarters and the
Southern Division on relief work.

VARDAMAN BY Is TO O.

Tiplersville, Miss, April 20, 20.
Senator Jas. X. Vardaman,
Jackson, Miss.
Dear Senator:
We sometimes speak of man and
his wife as ONE, but thing nave
changed and when it comes to voting
a man and his wife are TWO. Well,
here is the way it stands II our
family. We have six married chill
dren, so that makes IL, we have two
children old enough to vote, VINO are
not married end that makes Il and
my wife and / make it 16. All live
in the second district except one
couple who live in the first district.
So in the election on August Is, our
family will give Jas. K. Vardaman
16; A. G. Anderson IA and John
Rankin 2. We are farmers and lab
orers with no special interest to be
protected and we always vote for
men we think will best represent the
masses of the people.
There has been time, il my
opinion, when the need was greater
for strong, fea,Iess, unbougns and
unbuyable men in the halls of Con-
gress.
/ May the Lord add to your strength
and wisdom that you may go to
Washington to plead the cause of the
people.
Yours very truly,
J. D. MARTIN,
LIN Vardaman's Weekly.

ACT QUICKLY

Do the right thing at the right
time.
Act quickly in time of danger.
In time of kidney danger, Doan's
Kidney Pills are most effective.
Plenty of Oxford evidence of their
worth.
]. D. Cook, farmer, Pontotoc street,
Oxford, says: I have taken Doan's
Kidney Pills and found them to be
reliable medicine. Whenever my kid
neys don't act properly or my back
gets to hurting, get box of Doan's
Kidney Pills at Chiffon & Co.'s Drug
Store, and they soon have me feel
ing all right again. Doan's always
prevent any serious developments"
