EUROPE TANGLE.
Will Do So Only If There Is
Any Reasonable Hope
OF Success

Washington, Jan. 24.-American
efforts to be helpful to Europe in
the reparations crisis can be bredi-
Gated only on a reasonable anticipa-
ton of success, it was reiterated by
an authorized spokesman for the
Washington government. Whatever
the future may hold, there is no
present ground for anticipating
that any move tne United States
could make as a benevolent bystand-
er would bear fruit. Words, it was
said, whether Of protest or in any
other form, would be worse than
useless.
The Washington government
fully recognizes the tenseness of
feeling both in France and Germany
that occupation Of the Ruhr has pro-
duced. 1t was again declared that
the American desire is for adjust
ment Of the PREPARATIONS payment
problem OIL a sound economic basis.
But it is clearly indicated in the re-
ports of American officials abroad
that the opportunity for American
Intervention to smooth out the tan
gle has not presented itself and that
any ill-considered action by the
United States at this time might
easily arouse enmities that would
do harm instead Of good and defer
indefinitely any chance for American
helpfulness.

RECORD SHOWS
TELEPHONE is
MONEY SAVER

Beach, N. OAK, Jan. 24-That rur-
al telephone service is worth many
times the service costs to the farm
err was made clear to several pro-
testing phone customers of local
Telephone Company recently when
these persons had complained that
the service was not worth what was
paid for it. The company went to
the pains of keeping a record of the
calls that went to some of his rural
customers.
On examination of the record at
the end of thirty days, it was found
that Subscriber No. l." farming 100
acres, five and a half miles from
town, had a total of thirty-nine
business calls and twenty-five social
calls. Subscriber No. 2" farming
800 acres, four miles from town,
had Seventy business calls and
fifteen social calls. Subscriber No.
g." farming $50 acres, seven miles
from town, had ninety-one business
calls and sixty-one social calls. Com
putting these business calls only on
a valuation based on q mileage at
the low rate Of five cents per mile
it was found that subscriber No.
and monthly business on telephone
calls att his rate was $7.56, No. 2
had a business value of $1,000 placed
on his calls and No. 3 had a tele-
phone call business amounting to
$3.50 for the month.
In addition the telephone saved
many trip to town, it is claimed
by the company. Each subscriber
paid a monthly telephone service
charge of $l.50.
