BEATING THEM TO IT In these days of "super-regulation of business and industry, it is inter esting to note that private enterprise is quite often "beating the regulators to it." when it comes to giving in nublic service. In its endeavor to render the bes nf sprvipp to its subscribers, the Chesanoake & fotomac Telephone Co does not wait for complaints, but sends its subscribers a card asking for information as to any unsatisfactory conditions. This card is a masterpiece of cour teous and intelligent consideration of the customer's side of telephone service. It is a model that could be used bv anv business which is inter ested in seeing that its patrons have no cause for compaint. Searl S.

WHY SHE MOLTS An old ben may be molting now ; for two reasons: first, she may be a poor layer who figures that the ' spring of the year is the only timej of the year she needs to work, and second, she may get her feed so ir-, regularly that she really think3 hard times are coming and she might just as well shed her old dress and get one made for the winter. If she is a poor layer, she is thru work for 1926 and ready to take a trip to town. If she has been turned loose to shift for herself and to get her feed from the hog yard and the grain field and her water from the dried up quests for small jobs in every part of the city. Mr. Kunsmann is getting a great deal of work done and using every means to do the work well and at as very little e?:p?ne as possible and in this plan is now having the repairing of the alleys done by the city employes themselves and at a very small cost to the city, the job being a good one and that will give the cit well maintained alleyways in the future at a far less cost than otherwise would be possible. The interest that Nr. Kunsmann is showing in the discharge of the duties of his oifico is of real sprvice and rrivinc: to the city and which should he fully appreciated by those who foot the bills the taxpayers.
