Telephones without switchboard would
be like automobiles without gas"
They would look all right but they would never
get very far.
The first switchboard was "as simple as a wheel
barrow" However, as the of the telephone ex-
tended the early types proved inadequate and for
time six operators were required to complete some
calls in the larger Offices
Step by step the genius of the inventor and the skill
of the engineer overcame these difficulties.
Service is the first requirement of Bell System
switchboard 1t must be means for establishing quick
and accurate connection not alone between subscribers
in the community but to any other telephone in the
nation.
A second requirement is economy. AS part of the
Bell System we are associated with quarter of mil
lion and who with striving for
improvements in the service and for newer better and
more economical equipment and practices.
It is due to the combined efforts of this great or
ganzaton that country has the cheapest and best
telephone service in the world.

RETURNS FROM VACATION

County Agent o. S. Fletcher and
Mrs. Fletcher, who have been enjoy
ing a two weeks vacation in the Kit
titas valley and at coast points, in
Washington, arrived at home Thurs
day noon, having had a delightful trip.
Mr.. Fletcher was in his office Thurs

plans for the annual farm bureau
picnic, which will be held at the park
July IS.
Crop conditions all over the Inland
Empire are below normal, Mr. Flet-
cher states. In the Walla Walla dis
trict the harvest is just commencing
and it is probable that better crop
will be harvested there than in some
other sections, as the grain was too
far along to be injured by the hot
weather All over the territory. he
states, there was evidence of lack of
rain Everywhere, however, the
fields which had been carefully work.
ed, stood out, showing the benefits of
good farming.

SHELL EXPLOSION
KILLS 5 Children
BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN SET
OFF BY SUN-BODIES ARE
MUTILATED

Watertown, N. Y, CA. P.)-Eigh
children, raging in ager from IL to 16
were blown to pieces late today by
the explosion of three inch shell
on the back porch Of house in Dim
mick street, occupied by Edward G.
Workman and William L. Salisbury
The dead:
Morris Salisbury, 16; Vivian Jones
IL; Francis Wiley, 13; Olin Brown
IL; Anson Workman, 13; Edna
Workman, 13; Sarah Barden, 13, and
Donald Horton of Pulaski, N. Y, who
was visiting the Brown boy.
The shell, which was owned by MI
Workman, was one which he had
kept as a souvenir and used on the
porch to hold the door from closing.
1t was believed to be dead"
The children were playing croquet
in the back yard The shell is be-
lieved to have either been set off by
the sun or to have been struck by
one of the victims with a croquet
mallet Windows within radius of
two blocks of the explosion were
shattered.
Practically all of the clothing was
blown off the bodies of the children,
fragments of it lodging in trees and
housetops in the vicinity. The bodies
were horribly mutilated but identi-
fication was possible in every in
stance.
The bodies of the children were
found apparently at places near
where they had been standing in
their croquet game. Near them lay
fragments Of croquet mallets. Sew
eral of the balls used in the game
were blown to bits.
The shell apparently let go with
out warning. Two carpenters at
work on a house next door to the
Workman home, said that a second
before the detonation they had heard
the voices of the children laughing
at play The two men were the first
to reach the scene.
Fragments of clothing were sus-
pended from trees and housetops.
Two automobile tires which had been
on the back porch were blown to the
roof of a building 200 feet away.
Blocks of concrete were blown against
houses and into the
streets and surrounding yards.
The shell was what is commonly
known as a 'dud" The projectile
had been fired from one of the six
inch howitzer guns during target
practice of the 104th field artillery at
Pine Plains reservation last summer.
1t had not exploded by fuse or con-
tact and lay in the sand, fully charg
ed, when Mr.. Workman found it and
brought it home as a souvenir.

v WOULD-BE KIDNAPPER
IS Caught AT AS0TIN

The sheriff's office received word
about midnight last night that the
Ireland boy, who was presumably
kidnapped from the Alfred Schu-
macher home near Troy by his grand
father, had been found at Asotin,
Washington. The boy was returned
home this morning.
1t seems that the grandfather of the
lad, whose mother had deserted him
about four years ago, called at the
Schumacher home stating that he
wanted to take the boy on pleasure
trip.
Mr.. Schumacher got uneasy and
called up the sheriff's office yester-
day. Deputy Sheriff Summerfield set
out on the case and apprehended the
grandfather and child at Asotin He
called up the authorities here immedi-
ately upon his apprehension late last
night and warrant was sworn out by
Prosecuting Attorney Nisbet for the
grandfather's arrest.
The supposition is advanced that
the mother of the boy had secured the
grandfather to get the boy away from
Mr.. Schumacher's home where the
boy has been staying, with the idea
of taking him to Seattle Just what
had developed in the case was not
known at a late hour this afternoon

There is an old saying that-opportunity
knocks but once at any man s door. The OPP
portunity offered by the building plan of the
Metropolitan Life Insurance Company is one
that every man or woman who is interested in
the building of their own home should take
advantage of. So many people delay until
it is too late, before building home. Old
age creeps upon them, poverty follows and
the golden opportunity is lost Never before
has plan been devised that has proven to be
so fair as the one offered here.
Building material and labor have reached
new low ebb, and the logical time to lay your
plans for building is now.
