This country is entitled in good
times and bad to the best possible
telephone service at the lowest pos
sible cost, says Walter S. Clifford,
president of the American Telephone
and Telegraph Company, in the an
nual report of the directors to the
stockholders.
The success of the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company and it's
Associated Companies, Mr.. Clifford
states, must be measured by that
standard and depends on giving - all
times, day and night, dependable, ac-
curate and speedy telephone service,
constantly improved and extended in
scope by research and invention, at
a cost to the users as low as efficient
operation can make it, consistent with
fair treatment of employees and such
return to the st e'.holders as will
insure the financial safety of the en-
terprise.
Telephone service, Mr.. Clifford
states, was never better than in 1888.
Research for the future was continued
at an adequate level, operations were
carried on economically, wage rates
were maintained and in some instances
increased and while due to the reduced
volume of business the systems earn
ings of 81 per cent on the cost of
plant and other assets were made
quate, the past financial policy made
it possible to continue the dividend

SPECIAL STORAGE CLOSET PRE-
VENTS MOTH DAMAGE

Clothes moths fly about and de-
post their eggs at almost any sea-
son in our heated houses. When
the approach of warmer days invites
us to shed overcoats, sweaters, and
extra blankets, we do not always
take care of these things promptly,
and moths get at them while they
are waiting for attention. The
moths lay their eggs, and the larvae
or worms that hatch out do the dam
age by feeding on the woolens or
furs.
Why not clear out at least one
closet, suggest entomologists of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, and devote it entirely to the
storage of winter garments and
furnishings? Many modern houses
are built with special cedar-lined
storage closets, but unless such clos
cts are kept sealed while in use, and
sometimes even then, they are
scarcely better than any other clos
cts that can be kept tightly closed.
If everything can be put away at
once the task Is simplifed. Clean,
brush thoroughly, and sun each ar
ticle to make sure there are no hid
den moth eggs in it, place the gar
ments on hangers, and sprinkle 8 or
4 pounds of naphthalene flakes or
paradichlorobenzene crystals on the
floor. Then lock the door and seal
the cracks with tape, If the gar
ments must be put away one at a

If you do not have such closet to

broken wrapping paper and when
you put away your winter things put

to stockholders at the usual rate.
Prior to 1882, according to the re-
port, the company had never in any
year paid out all of its earnings in
dividends. Thus, in its nearly fifty
years of existence, it accumulated
surplus, which together with its pro-
portion of the surplus of its asso-
ciated companies and the Western
Electric Company amounted to $3l
per share of its stock outstanding. In
the past two years $685. per share of
this surplus, $3.04 in 1882, and 1882
in 1888, has been used in order to
rGaintain the dividend on the stock.
Tie company has no "watered stock"
but, on the contrary, has received an
average of STA share for the
18,662,275 shares of stock outstand-
ing. The dividend of $500 a share
was therefore at the rate of ga per
cent and the 1888 net income of 1888
per share was 3.8 per cent on the
stockholders investment, including the
surplus.
AS stated in the 1882 annual report,
"during the boom period, eliminating
in 1929, in spite of considerable pres

fever, the company paid no extra or

My dear Parent:

My dear Parent:
Graduating time, is rapidly draw
ing near. We we'll realize that eco
nomic conditions are such that the
greatest possible economy in expens-
es for graduation is justifiable. AS
result of these conditions our prob
able graduating class has been con-
sidering how they might make their
expenses as low as possible.
We wish to inform you as to some
Of the conclusions reached by our
class in regards to this important
question.
L. The usual events of graduating
time are the annual sermon to the
graduation class, the Sunday pre-
ceding the graduating exercises, the
class night exercises Tuesday eve
ming and graduating exercises on
Thursday evening, June IA.
g. The Alumni dinner and dance
is usually held the evening following
commencement. This dinner and
dance is open to the graduates who
Join the Alumni Association and buy
tickets. No one, however, is re-
CURED to attend this dinner and
dance. Attendance at this event is
entirely up to the individual
8. The girls Of the class have de-
cided to adopt as graduation garb
simple white dress, appropriate
for a girl in high school. The girls
have likewise pledged themselves to
talk over the question Of their grad
uating dress with Mrs. Mccoy. Home
Economics instructor, so as to get
as much economy, utility and ap-
propriateness as possible. These
white dresses will be worn by the
girls of the graduating class for all
The events mentioned in paragraph
one of this letter. Your daughter is
not required to purchase new
white dress; any sensible white
dress will serve the purpose.
A. The boys of the graduating
class have decided that any neat suit
would be satisfactory for these
events. In order to be cooperative
with the plan of the girls, the boys
agreed to wear the same suit for the
various events.
5. Glass night exercises this year
will be simplified. A play by men,
bers of the class will not be present

plan will be worked out so as to re-
duce the uncomfortably large crowd

Telephone Aids in
Congress Opening

A telephone message played an i'm
portant part in the opening Of the
Seventy-third Congress. Following the
colorful program which has existed
over long period of years, the Sen
ate and House met in joint session in
the massive House chamber.
In previous administrations, it has
been customary for the Speaker of the
House to appoint a special committee
to notify the President in person that
Congress was in. session. Under the
"New Deal" it was thought proper TO-
call the President at the White House
by telephone and inform him that the
assembled cabinet and the Senate and
House awaited his message.
Herbert Plummer, feature writer Of
the Associated Press in his "Washing-
ton Daybook" is authority for the
statement that what is probably the
most important direct telephone line
in Washington is that running from the
Presidents Office at the White House
to Secretary of the Senate Edwin A.
Halsey's office just off the Senate
floor. That telephone line, Mr.. Plum
mer says, played an important part in
the special session of Congress and 1t
will do the same in the present session.
This telephone is so close to the
Senate that the President can be ad-
vised instantly of what is happening
on the, floor. Using this telephone
line, Senate Democratic leaders COM
municate instantly with the President
whenever they find it necessary to
do so.

Observers say that IN another two
years MarysviIle win again be among
the greatest gold camps in the United
States, and modern machinery and
high price gold win make It possible
for Marysyflle to produce greater for

idea Of extending it down to test the

Twenty-Five men are employed by the

Bell Boy Mine Has Modern Equipment
In 1881, the Bell Boy Gold Mining
company took over large group Of
holdings after exhaustive examination
by M. L. Savage, former Occur d'Alene
mining operator, who is president and
general manager Of the Ben Boy COM
pany.
Located on the west slope of the
Marysville hill in Towsley gulch, the
Bell Boy group consists Of TowSley
mine, Nile, Bell Boy, Zimmerman and
Angle group, a total Of q claims. Since
the company has been IN control, very
substantial development has been done
with about $500 feet Of tunneling COM
pleted. The property is equipped with
modern concentration. complete camp
and necessary shops with chemical
apartments. In all it is the most mod

The mentioned groups have all pro-
duced gold-silver ore from the surface

they have gone to lower depths with

Great Divide Operates
In the summer Of 1899. when lead
silver properties were much Ia demand,
the Neenan mine, three miles above
MaxysVille, was acquired on lease and
option by J. B. T. Hunns acting for a
group Of New York capitalists, and the
Great Divide Mining company was in
corporated for the purpose Of develop
ing the property. Before the program
could be put into effect, however, the
financial crash upset the original plans.
The Neenan mine. 80 named for its
former owner, the late Andy Neenan
who died in 1921, was operated for over
2 years BY the owner and former part
ners. One or two carloads OF high
grade ore was shipped each year, fur
