no you know that about twenty

Letter Office in Washington last
year, and that over eight hundred

Do you know that It costs your

and in one, city it costs over five

Post offices are just az anxious

Much heartache, unhappiness

Not long ago, a young man

the envelope was too large to,

delivery was delayed on that acs
count, so the young lady had not
ignored his letter. but he had not.

suicide. In that is a lesson to-
use regular sized envelopes

KANSAS CITY STOCK
YARD REPORT
April 27, 1925
BY CHAS. NJ. PIPKIN
Correspondent

Cattle receipts today were the
smallest on any Monday in several
weeks past. Rains that fell in
parts of Texas last week checked
the movement of stock and feeding
cattle, and the recent heavy runs of
fat cattle seem to have cleaned up
fed lots. Prices are advancing, to-
days gain being 15c to 25c. The
downward movement in hog prices
is still unchecked and today
prices were the lowest since the
third week in February. The sheep
market started a rally the middle
of last week and the advance con-
tinued today
Today's receipts: Cattle, $4,000
head; hogs, 5000 head; sheep, 1000
head, as compared with 10000 cat
tie, 10000 hogs and 1000 sheep a
week ago, and 1853 cattle, 14,575
hogs and 15,100 sheep a year ago.
Beef Steers.
Trade in fat cattle opened early
at strong to 25c higher prices, and
40c to Csc above the low point on
Tuesday of last week. Moderate
receipts and indications that the
heavy runs of fat cattle are at an
end caused the advance. Demand
for beef showed a moderate i'm
provement but remained below nor

Nothing of outstanding quality and
finish was offered today. The best
yearlings, medium and light weight
steers here sold $10.50011.00.
Prime grades would have brought
$11.50 or better The bulk of the
steers graded only fair to good and
cashed for SS.75@10.00. Cows and
heifers we're in active demand at
strong to 15c higher prices. The
advance in steers stimulated de-
mand for low-priced butcher
classes. Veal calves were steady at
last weeks decline. Prices for
bulls and stays were stronger.
StOckers and Feeders.
Receipts of stockers and feeders
were moderate, and trade ruled
active at 15c to 25c higher prices.
Some choice stockers sold up to
$SS.5 and fleshy feeders up to 1925.
The bulk of both stockers and feed
ers brought $7.0008.25. Rains in
Texas were sufficient to reduce

Did You Ever Say
"Number, Please?"
BY MARGI HOPKINS.

Did you ever operate telephone
switchboard or watch anyone else
operate one? If not, I wish you
would make it a point to visit the
local exchange and watch the girl
there connect calls on a board con-
tanning $50 jacks.
Jacks" in the telephone vernac-
ular, is the term applied to the
holes in the switchboard through
which the different lines are con-
nected by plugs Every jack rep
resents a telephone line and some
lines have more than one telephone.
One hundred and fifty jacks repre-
sent position" on city boards and
each position as rule is operated
by a different girl except during
one shift during the night. The
remarkable thing about the local
board is that it is operated at fall
times, with the exception of a few
hours during the morning, when
two girls are employed, by one girl
who handles all calls, including
long distance, making her three
position.
"Give me So-and-so's office" ;"
come the words over the line, and
in minute the voice is talking to
SO-and-sO. 1t is true that the girls
who take the different shifts know
the board about as we'll by names
as by numbers, and though they
have the authority to ask sub
scriber to use his telephone direc-
tory, they complete the call when
ever they can without consulting
their own directory This is a serv-
ice that many Winslow people may
not appreciate to the extent they
should, as it is not practiced every
where.
Getting Better Service.
Because of the fact that I happen
to have been telephone operator
once myself, know how anxious
the girls are to give good service,
and | know too how often they get
the benefit of almost anyone's
crouch, and all because the users
of the telephone system do not un-
derstand just what process their
call goes through before it can be
completed. If a party doesn't an
Swer right now or yesterday peo-
pie seem to believe that Central
has gone to show or is powdering
her nose. Now, Central is not the
shiftless person you may believe
her to be, and if you cooperate
with her she usually proves her
self to be the most obliging person
in the world. And in the matter
of cooperation, there are several
little points about obtaining service
which apply to the local board that
| noticed while visiting the tele-
phone office one day this week,
and | am going to pass them along.
| have gone to the telephone box
many times and given the crank a
little turn and then waited in vain
for an answer. Of course, even ex-
telephone operators want service
when they want it, and after so
long a time even they get provoked,
land so it has been on such occa-
lsions that 1 have hung up and CIV

winding which incidentally relieved
my mind and, to my surprise,
brought Centrals reply immediate

just why my first ring did not re-
ceive attention, l stopped specu-
lating on the subject as soon as 1
was through with the call.
When I visited the local board,
however, this and several other lit
tie matters were cleared up.
