Roads Guard Against Fraud
Railroads in both eastern and
western territory have taken
steps to- further safeguard them
selves against fraudulent claims
for loss or damage to shipments
It is alleged that in many in
stances claims of a questionable
nature have been presented and
for that reason the following rule
has been adopted
Claims for concealed loss or
damage should not be paid where
the consignee has failed to give
the delivering agent notice im
mediately upon discovery and
wiitJhin a reasonable time after de
livery of the loss or damage and
where the railroads investiga
tion fails to develop any irregu
larity in handling the shipment
S D Hughes has gone up to
the Seottshluff neighborhood to
arrange for the building of a
house on his irrigated land in
that section He left yesterday

Telephone
Talking
The Aonderfully rapid
growth of the telephone has
made its use universal andb
its misuse a matter of keec
public concern
When you talk over the
telephone speak in a slow
distinct and even tone with
your lips about one inch
from the mouthpiece talking
directly into the transmitter
Telephone diaphrams are
constructed for ordinary
modulations of the Aoice anc
to talk otherwise is not con
ducive to the best trans
mission
When your telephone
rings do not reply HelloL
AnsAver by giving your name
as BroAvn speaking or
Jones Company Brown
talking That method
saves useless AAords and is
both courteous and direct-
In making a call the fig
ures of a telephone number
should be separated and one
number given at a time
For example in calling
Black 140 Avhen Cen
tral asks tur the number
say Black one-four-ob
