every section of the globe and now
includes about seventy countries and
geographical locations. Calls may
also be made between ships at sea and

the service ten years ago, the cost was
$75 for a three-minute conversation
between New York and London. A
similar call today is $21 on week days

Good telephone service is dependent
on the good health of the companies
employees. In the interest of eliminat-
ing so far as possible the common cold
which may result in something more
serious, DR.. Leverett D. Bristol, health
director of the American Telephone
and Telegraph Company, urges tele-
phone employees to build up body re-
sistance against colds through the de,
velopment of proper health habits.
These include sufficient outdoor
fresh air, sunshine and exercise, keep
ing the body warmly clothed and the
feet dry, being careful not to become
over-fatigued, obtaining the right kind
and amount of food, including milk,
eggs, butter, green vegetables ard
fresh fruits, and going to doctor for
periodic examinations and profession
al advice if in the stable group Of So
called cold-prone individuals.
If a cold is developed, DR.. Bristol
urges that the employee not become a
broadcasting station. A germ ex-
change may be started through per-
sonal habits. So far as possible he
urged protecting others from a cough
and sneeze, using only personal toilet
articles, towels and drinking utensils
and washing the hands frequently.
Prolonged or deep~seated colds should
always have the attention of a physi.
clan, particularly in the interest o.
preventing serious complications and
lengthy disability. With reasonable
care employees may avoid becoming
either a receiving or sending station
for the common cold.

securities has privileges and less responsibility
than royalty the world has known They live the

says Arthur Huntington in Public Utilities Fortnghtly
is probable that not out of ten realizes that
eminent borrowings exempt from taxation In other Words
the who buys $1,000 worth $4,000 worth of
bonds the privileged class that not taxed the income he
derives from those bonds Aso the businesses which the
eminent develops with the derived from the privileged
free bonds, wholly or largely tax exempt
In the state of Oregon for example private electric
panes had incomes of $2OOOOOO the total taxes
they would today schools roads, police protection
army navy etc. would be nearly 20 cent of that
100000 annually If the governments hydroectric projects
being developed the Columbia River should $2OOOO
600 from the sale of electricity this income would be practically
tax exempt under existing policies.
The privileged holder taxexemp bonds lodges tax

The Trades and Labor Council,
acting on a request from the Mis-
soula County Trades and Labor
Council, is protesting to Governor
Ayers and to the director of unem-
ployment compensation at Washing
ton, D. c., the appointment of
George Sheppard to the position of
Commissioner of Unemployment In
surance in the state of Montana.
The record of Mr.. George Shep-
pard in respect to union organiza-
tons is bad, according to the files
of the labor organizations. These
files indicate that Sheppard was an
active lobbyist against most labor
legislation at legislative sessions.
For a member of the Board of
Unemployment Compensation, it
hardly seems consistent for the Gov
ernor to pick an open enemy of the
unions and the people.

our shells; help us to cover their
smiling fields with the pale forms of
their patriot dead; help us to lay
waste their humble homes with a
hurricane of fire; help us to wiring
the hearts of their unoffending
widows with unavailing grief; help
us to turn them out roofless with
their little children to wander I'M
friended through wastes Of their
desolated land in rags and hunger
and thirst, sport of the suns flames
of summer and the icy winds of
winter, broken in spirit, worn with
travail, imploring Thee for the
refuge of the grave and denied it
for Jul sakes, who adore Thee,
Lord, blast their hopes, blight their
lives, protract their bitter pilgram-
age, make heavy their steps, water
their way with tears, stain the white
snow with the blood of their wound
ed feet. We ask of One who is the
spirit of love and who is the ever
faithful refuge and friend of all that
are sore beset, and seek His aid
with humble and contrite hearts.
Grant u prayer, o Lord, and
Thine shall be the praise and honor
and glory, now and ever, Amen"
