THE French of today
are famous as pastry
makers, but they would
not now think of using the crude methods pic
tured here that were employed by them some
centuries ago. They, like ourselves, must have a
Modern Bakery Equipment

demanded. Our customers tell us that our pastries are
always as good and frequently better than the home
kind. The secret is baking genius plus modern equipment
Quality and cleanliness are the twin mottoes

I'Jhy It Costs More to Furnish
Telephone Service in a Large
Town Than in a Small One
Telephones usually increase in number as a town grows, and
the more telephones there are the more opportunities there are
for the use of each telephone.
The more calls there are from each telephone the more it
costs to operate that telephone and the more wear there is on the
equipment.
Also the equipment per telephone is more expensive in larger
places. For example, in a town of 10,000 people the more intri
cate and complicated switchboard that has to be used costs near
ly five times as much per subscriber connected as in a town of
1,000 people.
Subscribers in the town of 10,000 people live on an average
three times as far from the central office as in the smaller place.
Also subscribers move more in large centers, and these moves
cost money.
A more exacting grade of service is required in larger places,
which increases the operating costs. Again wages, taxes and
rents are higher as a town grows larger. Then, too, in larger
places we are generally asked to place our wires underground in
cables, which is very expensive.
These are some of the reasons why telephone rates cannot
bo as low in large towns as in small ones.

McKinley Issued his call to Governor
Silas A. Holcomb for the mobilisation

Painted Floors
Save Scrubbing
Painted floors are sanitary and easy to keep clean. Bare
floors absorb dirt and grime and require hours of back-breaking
work with the scrub brush to keep them in condition.
You can fix up your floors yourself with
Lincoln Floor Paints
They change old shabby floors into new floors that are easy
to keep spotlessly clean. Ask for color samples and a copy of
the Home Painting Jobs booklet, which tells you about painting,
varnishing, waxing and finishing floors and all surfaces about the

Benjamin Franklin Said:
"It is not only ill management, but
it discovers a slothful disposition, to
do that in the afternoon which should
have been done in the morning."
The man who leaves his Life Insurance until the afternoon of
his life, instead of taking it out in the earlier years when he
has all the advantages of good health, good earning power and
low cost, displays not only ill management, but what often
proves to be neglect with sad consequences.
