TELEPHONE COMPANY
ENTERTAIN P.H.S. PUPILS
Lecture By Mr.. H. W. Carly And
Motion Pictures Furnishes Edu-
cational Entertainment.

III presenting Tie CelepTOne lecture
and moving picture to the students Of
the Pocomoke High School Monday
afternoon of this week, Mr.. H. W..
Carly, Manager Of the company for
this section of the territory, said in
his remarks to the school that it is
perfectly natural that at times the
public may be inclined to criticize or
condemn the company because it ap-
pears that the company does not do
certain things which seem to the pub
lie to be quite simple and easy. Such
misunderstanding, the company feels.
are due largely to the fact that the
company has not sufficiently awaited
itself of the opportunity to give TO the
public clearer knowledge of some OF
it's problems.
The telephone system is tremen-
dously intricate service. 1t involves
lie use of a vast lot of delicate me-
q anism, and the labor of small ar
my of highly trained men and women.
Fir. Carly stated that according to
his conception of the company's task,
or that of any public utility, which
hopes to secure the good will and sup
rCrt of its patrons, the company must
fulfill three primary requirements:
First-The service must be salts
factory. 1t must be satisfactory, not
only from technical standpoint as
the company sees it, but must be sat
isfactory from the viewpoint of the
public.
Second-The employees must be eff
ficient and unfailingly courteous in
their treatment of our patrons.
Third-Our earnings must be suf-
fcient.
Taking up, first, the matter of SER
vice, the company would like for the
Iublic to think of it as not merely the
handling of telephone calls, but all of
the company's many and varied activi-
ties in which the patron is interested
These include the installation OF tele-
phones, moving of telephones to new
locations, collection of accounts
changes in the directory listings, es-
tablishing Of telephone connections by
the operators at the switchboard, and
the proper maintenance of the tele-
phone equipment, not only in the
company's buildings, but also on the
Subscribers premises. Mr.. Carly said
that if the company failed in any OF
these matters, the public is justl.
fed in saying that the service is not
satisfactory.
Second-One of the highest aims
which the company seeks to accom-
plish, is that it's employees shall al
ways be unfailingly courteous to the
public. The giving of telephone ser
vice is delicate thing. 1t involves
an intimate contact between the mer
and women of our organization and
our patrons. The occasion will arise
at times, of course, when a person
may make calls in a great hurry and
rot being able to see the efforts OF
the operators, will more or less nat
urally assume that proper effort is
rot being made Sometimes this mis-
understanding calls forth unmeriteG
criticism. The operators are al
trained, however, that is very def
mite part of their duty, to handle all
such situations with patience and
courtesy.

Ko.itzky Will Demand
Ful6llment OF School
Land Purchase Contracts

tracts held by ~non-residents of the
state for purchase of school lands in
North Dakota will be cancelled July
1 unless delinquent interest and prin-
cipal is paid, according to notice dis
patched today by registered letter by
Carl r. kositzky. land commissioner,
dents Of North Dakota who appear
to- have purchased the land for specu-
lative purposes, according to the
commissioner.
The action was authorized by the
land board. Mr.. Kositzky said, be-
cause school funds of the state have
become depleted through non-pay-
ment Of interest and principal on the
purchase Of these lands. Most of the
persons not residents of North Dako-
ia who purchased lands did so appar-
is the intention of the board to re-
quire them to keep UP payments. it
is said.
Money derived from these pay
ments will go into the common school
fund, to be apportioned among the
schools OF the state and lessen the tax
burden of maintaining them, or will
become available for farm loans or
the purchase OF bonds, Mr.. Kositzky
said.
1t is expected that a large amount
Of money will be brought into the
state through enforcement of the pro-
visions of the contracts. From time
to time sales of school land have
been held. the land being sold al pub
lie auction. One-Rfth Of the purchase
price is paid down. and four other
payments at intervals of five years
each are paid. Interest At the rate of
5 per cent is charged on amounts due.
1t is estimated that probably a mil
lion dollars is due the state in unpaid
principal and interest.

Bismarck Post Will
Boost G. H. Russ For.
Legion Commander

Bismarck, N. D., May 12.-With the
expectation that the precedent thus
far set by the American Legion in
North Dakota of advancing the vice
commander to the post of commander
at the annual election, Lloyd Spetz
Post No. I. in selecting delegates to
the state convention to be held in
Devils Lake June 1922, instructed
them to present the name Of George
n. Russ, Jr.. of Bismarck, for the
post Of commander.
Mr.. Russ, who was elected vice
commander at the Jamestown con-
vention last year, has been actively
identified with the American Legion
