Phone Directories
 Have Been Delivered
Largest Ever Produced-Subseriber' Hunt for Misspelled Words to get Prize A~ards-Rules of Contest
 Given

Delivery of the summer issue of the telephone directory has been com pleted today and, 1t is hoped, without skipping a single subscriber Ex- change Manager Beebe said, however. that if there is any subscriber who has not received a directory a tele- phone call to the business office of the company will bring one by mail at once.
 The directory for this district is the largest ever produced by the tele- phone company, containing more list ings than ever before and the yellow or classified section also contains more complete information of the in dustries and other business concerns in this section of the state.
 Hundreds of changes in address. some of them involving telephone number changes and many additional listings appear in this issue and it is therefore urged by the Exchange Manager that all subscribers use the new directory upon receipt and that the old one, now obsolete, be destroyed.
 burted lreasure
 A thrilling hunt for buried trea- sure, hunt that is certain to be pro- fitable for some residents of the local telephone exchange. began with yigor when the summer issue of the tele- phone directory made it's appearance at homes, offices and other places of business.
 Hundreds are already engaged in seeking the treasure hidden between the covers of the new directory for with this issue of the telephone com pany announces misspelled word contest with cash prizes to be paid to those who find the treasure, which will be in the form of misspelled words throughout the directory.
 Fifty words have been misspelled purposely and it is just possible that a book as large as the local district telephone directory there may be a few misspclled by accident rather than design, so that if the hunters find more than fifty misspelled words they are to send in all they find.
 The rules of the contest are printed on the last white page of the new di- reetory and the contest Is open to all telephone users, except telephone peo- pie and members of their families.
 Just by way of starting the treas ure hunters on hot trail it might be mentioned that ten of the typo graphical errors appear in white pages of the directory, pages one to nine inclusive, and the others in the classified or yellow section of the di- reetory.
 For full information concerning the contest, the rules on the last page in the alphabetical section should be read.
