The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1924-11-06

No longer are we blue;
And if you want to telephone,
Just tell it 1927
And Joe Finkle has phonel Act

No more will we have to bawl |
across the street to the Junk EN-
porium of that estimable gentle
man to get him to the phone!

We have filled the part of town
cryer in advertising him. For we
had to call so loudly and so often
that we kept him we'll advertised in
this section of the State.
We will miss hearing him yell
over our phone repeatedly without
being understood the following mys-
terious information:

And Doc. Ryan has a public pay
station in private booth at Coch-
rams Drug Store.
We give him this free advertising
so as to transfer to him all the
"phone trade" which has heretofore
been ours in this neighborhood.
Our idea of a dumb-bell is the
simp who makes an expensive toll
call over our phone. and then starts
out with Sinking THANK You'll"

One of our foolish contemporaries
claims that women will never be the
I radio fiends that men are as long
as they can listen in on the party
telephone.
Men like their gossip from a
long distance, but women want to
know what is going on in the neigh
borhood.
If some women's clothes lines
were kept as busy as their party
lines they would put the laundries
out of business.

The Telephone Comnanv racentlp
reported that in New York City
alone they have 4.7s7,244 phone
calls a day.
Which no doubt includes, FAC
cording to our personal experience
with New York phones,) approx
mately 2,333,122 wrong numbers.
OF all sad words
OF slang or wheeze,
The worst one is
"Excusit pleased
s**sss
But we have a sympathetic spot1
in our heart for telephone opera
tors who are always being PANIED
Sometimes they deserve it, but we
are convinced that many times it
is the result of some dizzy dora who
can't use a phone intelligently, |
simple as it is.
ss&*&.
1t may be unbelievable in this en-
lightened age that there are many
who have never used phone, and
are scared to death at the thought |
of doing it. And we speak from ex-
perience.
Many time have people, (who |
seem intelligent otherwise,) asked |
us to make phone calls for them.
We tell them all the same thing
"If you haven't learned yet, it's |
time you made start" And when
they've made the call without get
ting an electric shock and found how
simple it was, they are always !
tickled to death!
No, we don't think the operators
deserve all the criticism they get. |
It's wonder there aren't more mis-
takes when you consider the vast |
number of morons in the country.

A Stockton woman recently ask
ed man if LaFollette would have
TO move to this country if he were
elected.
mol But the rest of US would have
to move outl
The following verse from a New |
York writer is more appropriate:
To Russia! To Russia! Oh LaFol-
lette feel
Its ways we are sure would be |
pleasing to thee.
Why waste your time here? TOT
myself be kind,
And go to the land which is
quite to thy mindl
s&s*se
Too bad he wasn't elected Just |
think! If he had been we could ride
on the trains free; we could get /
coal and electricity and gas free; we
wouldn't have to pay any taxes. (Be-
cause we wouldn't have any money
to pay withD
But at the same time we seriously /
wonder who would produce these
things if they weren't paid for! We
give it up.
LaFoliette is well namedl 1t is
the French for little fool!'
