why your operator cannot possibly
give you the information you wish.
When you lift your receiver it lights
a little light on the switchboard. We
call this a line signal. This light is
situated Just above little round hole
or jack. In order to hear you and
speak to you when your line signal
lights, we pick up a cord with brass
plug ON one end of it and insert it
in the jack corresponding to your
telephone number. We then ask you
what number you wish. These cords
are always arranged in pairs, and
when we learn the number you want,
we pick up the cord corresponding to
the one we used to answer you with.
Now, the telephone you are calling
also has jack. We locate this jack
and tap the rim of the jack or hole
with the brass plug on our cord. If
the subscriber at the number is using
his telephone we get little clicking
sound. That answers another ques-
ton frequently asked, How do we
know if the line is really busy?'
If we do not hear this sound we
plug into the number and start the
ringing This may be done either
mechanically or by the operator. In
either case the called telephone rings
at least once every 10 seconds. Now,
with mechanical ringing the called
telephone will continue to ring just
as long as you do not hang up your
receiver. Where the operator does
the ringing, at the end of one minute
she should say to you, Il am trying
to complete your call And the end

"They have not answered yet; shall |
keep ringing them?' If you DESIRE
she will ring for still an additional
minute. At the end of the third min

times. 1t certainly seems reasonable
to suppose that if anyone were going
to answer they would have answered
in that length of time. And yet you
would be surprised how many times
someone has been upstairs or down

REAL SPORTSMANSHIP

1t takes d political campaign such
as just closed to find out the real
worth of man.
We wish to tell you of two men
who were opposing each other, and
how they reacted after the smoke of
battle had begun to clear. Then we
will give the other side of the picture,
telling what another defeated cam
paigner did. Size them up.
Frank McCleary and Dr. J. c. F.
Siegfriedt both coveted the office of
state senator. They neither one were
overly enthusiastic about leaving their
business, but at the behest of friends
of their political utilization they
We're prevailed upon to run for the Of
flee.
Neither one ever did an unkind
thing toward the other. They re-
Trained from personalities all through
the campaign. In fact, they conducted
clean campaigns and insisted that the
0tAers do the same as far as Trey
were concerned.
They made a close race and it
showed that each was popular Al
the close of the count it was found
that Mr.. McCleary had won the na-
jority. DR.. Siegfriedt was one Of the
first men to personally call on Mr..
McCleary and congratulate him. It
was rare craftsmanship.
This is not true as to the man who
was defeated in the republican pri-
mary election by DR.. Siegfriedt. T.
Spencer, editor of the Bridger Times.
was unable to display this spirit lie
has ranked ever since the prin.arv
and in last weeks issue of his paper.
he came cut and publicly disowned
the party which in the past has not
only supported his newspaper but has
also given him many honors. Here
are the words showing what he thinks
Of the republican party, words which
should be remembered when the next
campaign rolls around:
when other essential qualifications
are equal, people of the Clarks Fork
country, regardless Of political affilia-
ton and without urging, give loyal
support to residents of the valley
whose ambitions lead them into poll
tics. In the present campaign, such
valley republicans as were politically
inclined before the primary had their
good intentions ruthlessly tramped on
and came out Of the primary battle
eliminated TO a man. In the democrat
tic selections, the Clarks Fork was
more fortunate and three candidates
for county honors in that party sur
vived the preliminary They are NJ.
F. Mack Emmett Of Fromberg, can
didate for the legislature; L. c. Jen-
sen of Edgar, candidate for assessor,
and Dr.. c. A. Marcus Of Bridger, can
didate for coroner
at would be a gracious tribute to
these good citizens If voters in this
part Of the county would remember
these candidates with a vote on cleo
ton day 1t would in part repay our
neighbors for the generous consider
alton shown to Bridger candidates in
former campaigns and let these men
know that they have the confidence
and good will of their neighbors. Po-
lltical lines are no longer so tightly
drawn when it comes to candidates
for county Office"

stairs, or out in the yard, and has
been unable to get to the telephone
in time to answer the call. They call
in few seconds later, however,
wanting to know who the party was
that was calling. Sometimes they
really expect the operator to be able
to tell them who called few min
utes ago.
Now, when we tell you telephone
does not answer we take down the
cords connecting those two telephones,
and once those cords are down there
is no possible way for us to tell who
called a given telephone. 1t may not
be very pleasant to have the operator
tell you, There is no one on the line,
will you excuse it please?" But there
is nothing else she can tell you. She
does not know.

time, at least, carry their minds away
from the nagging and pickering, OF
our contemptibly small, rag wrangling
Jelly fish, and their suggestions as to
what we should do to be good citizens.
at is my sincere wish that 'Abe's'
poem may carry their memory back
to that gloomy November morning,
when those self-styled good citizens
who are now so ready to tell us what
to do to help our country and their pet
political candidate along the road to
prosperity, we re not over there.

FOR THE BON VOYAGE PARTY

The friend departing for foreign
shores gives a good excuse for jolly
luncheon or dinner party. A ships
model is an appropriate centerpiece
for the table and it may be laden with
good wishes in the form of letters to
Soe read on shipboard from those pres
ent. Lacking ships model, the chill
dren's toy boat or an affair rugged up
out OF crepe paper may be used. The
menu may be written OF printed on
cards such as one finds on real boat
with a steamer painted at the top and
flying a flag bearing the legend IS. S.
Friendship" The menu cards may also
serve as place cards.

To great extent you can avoid
this by answering your telephone
promptly just as soon as it rings. You
would not let friend knock repeat
edly at your door while you kept him
waiting. Let us be equally courteous
to our telephone guests. 1t is also
great convenience to have two or even
three extension telephones in the
house. Mayor James Walker of New
York City didn't believe in taking any
chances, so he had an extension tele-
phone in every room of the house.
They will certainly save great deal
of time and annoyance due to being
unable to get to the telephone in
time.

If you have telephone directory
