"Central" Appreciates
Your Kindness
There nre three operators
concerned in every telephone
call you, the party you are
talking to and "central."
All three-parties must co
operate if the best service la
to be had.
The telephone operators
are human, just as you are.
Being human, they appre
ciate kindness and courtesy,
but resent unklndness and
discourtesy just as any of us
do.
Kindness begets kindness,
courtesy creates courtesy and
patience encourages patience.
If you wish to get the best
out of your telophone, make
It a point to be kind and
courteous to the operators.

Soldiers' Letters
From Harold Antrim.
Menlow Park, Cal., Aug. 7, '17
Dear Mother: I think it is about
time I was answering your letter.
I was invited out to dinner last Sun
day and of course had a good time.
Everywhere I go they ask questions
and of course find out that I have a
brother here. I take him around
and make him acquainted with the
ones I know and he does the same
with me, so we get t6 know quite a
few people. I go to church every
night that I am not on duty and met
quite a few that way. Everybody
treats us fine and we can't help but
like it out here. This is going to be
some place when they get all the
buildings finished. There will be
about 30,000 men stationed here.
They have over GOO carpenters at
work, besides a lot of other men.
I saw an airplane alight the other
day, at our camp for exhibition.
The machine flies over the camp
nearly every day so we are getting
used to them. Will close for this
time,
Your son, Harold Antrim,

Two examinations were an

held in Dakota City on Friday and
and Saturday of this week, and the
eighth grade examination will be
held in Dakota City, Homer, and
