Buyers have covered forward
needs more extensively than usual
because of delayed shipments" Steel

Detroit, Sept. 2S.-Rural and small

given an inventory today of telephone

produce the following results by the

4. A reduction of about 30 per cent in
the maximum number of customers
per rural line. >. \ consequent i'm
provement in rural and small com

This service expansion has been ac-

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO READ

WyandOtte Herald Among Those Read

Clipping Service

All | know is what | read i'll the
newspapers" Will Rogers used to say.
but even his desire To keep up with
the news would have flinched 1T the
task started over - years ago 10y the
Central Press Clipping Service of
indianapolis. Ind.
"Of course. il has been necessary
/ to constantly increase our force of
readers in performing our business of
reading newspapers for other people
but they enjoy searching for clippings
on thousands of subjects that com
prise the needs of our clients. says
H. W. DragOO. proprietor and manager
of the service. There are many more
newspapers in the field now than
when we started in business. and most
Of them are larger editions. but We
are doing an even better job of read
ing today than ever before. Try 10 Wis
ualize reading about two tons of news
papers each month. Yes It's some
job"
MANY people ask us what on earth
our clients find of interest in SO many
local newspapers. They fail 10 under
stand how hundreds of. political and
fraternal organizations want To know
what is going on in every section OF
the country: how manufacturers and
sales organizations are vitality interest
ed In learning of fires. births. new
building projects, etc. which are re-
ported only In local newspapers.
The Central Press Clipping Service
reads practically all the newspapers
published each week in Ohio. Indiana.
Michigan. Illinois. Wisconsin. Ken
lucky and Tennessee. This reading COW
ers an important and compact group
OF states. Ii includes about twenty
per cent Of all the newspapers pub
lished i'm the entire United States.
Clippings from those papers on given
subject provide very accurate cross
section Of the country tO show what a
fourth Of the people in the United
States have read on that subject be-
cause that percentage Of the citizens
of the entire country live in this seven

ing done by practically everybody is
limited 10 their own home town papers.

Beavers Change Diet

Although beavers feed mainly on
bark, in states where they are com
ing back they have been some
times compelled to form new food
habits because of scarcity of trees.
L. G. Webb, president of the Kansas
Wildlife federation, reports to the
Washington headquarters of the fed
GRAFTON that many beavers are being
legally trapped and pelted in Kan
sas. Beavers are taken alive and
shifted to new grounds when they
become nuisances. In some sec
tons they have learned to like corn.

Weather Balloons Renamed

The United States weather bureap
has rechristened the radio-meteoro-
graph, the featherweight little robot
weather reporter that rides small
balloons up into the stratosphere
and wireleSses back all the news
about how cold and how damp it is.
The new name is "radiosonde," a
word of French origin. Objection
to the old name was mainly to the
graph" part, which implied that
the instrument made written rec
ord, which it does not do. ''Sonde"
is French for depth or height sound

Churchly Chance

Lotteries we're very popular in the
United States early in the Nine
teenth century. Some states met the
demands for better roads, not by
taxation, but by fostering Bridge
and Turnpike Lotteries" So wide
spread was the lottery mania that
churches were occasionally erected
with the aid of lotteries.
