One of the problems bofore the coun. ty commissioners yesterday was the appointment of a county Judgo to suc ceed tho Into Judgo French Tho com missioners really felt that an attorney should fill tho position, but the salary, which is $1,G50 a year, is not sufficient to tempt any of tho attorneys to ac cept.

By reason of tho probate business and tho settlement of estates tho position is ono which requires careful clerical work, goou judgment and acquired knowledge of law, and tlm latter Qualification is necessary In hearing and disposing of cases.

All but four of the 65 sows bred will Scarry own guarantee! feThe 8 tried sows are bred to our 800 lb Gibbon's Hercules and six spring gilts byWonder Lust averaging about 400 lbs are bred to this rare individual. While the $ yearling fall sows sired by Gibbon's Hercules each raised a large litter this fall, yet will tip the 400 notch, and three spring litters are bred to the fall yearling sired by Robin Hood. The other spring gilts are bred to Mischief Maker, a spring pig with four of the best pins under him shoulders, hams, back and head not second even by his great sire, Big Orange 1st.

All over the country the important railroad points, the bridges, the big gram elevators, munition factories and water-supply systems have been guarded, first by detachments of the National Guard and! now by private watchmen. This is requiring special telephone service and the total amount of telephone work to provide it is enormous. The call to arms brought to the Bell Telephone System imperative duties and responsibilities. No nation entered the war with anywhere near the number ofi skilled telephone men, or as dependable and comprehensive telephone service as this country possessed. More than 6,800 former Bell Telephone employees are now in some branch of the military service in Europe or in training camps here. Only the telephone companies could furnish the skilled telephone men needed in the army signal corps. When the war came, telephone plants had to bo built or enlarged at all the army posts,, training camps, navy yards and department headquarters. Similar telephone systems have had to be installed in the American training oamps, army headquarters, hospitals, etc., in Europe, In addition to the military demands for telephone service, business activity, accelerated and increased by V war, has required enormous amounts of telephone service and equipment. In splto of tho war and what It has meant to thU company In tho Inoroatod number of telephone mttiagea to handle, the enlletment of co many of our trained men, tho ahftrtaao of equipment, tho tcarolty ef labor and the high cost of telephone materials In eplto of all theie obetaoles, we aro meeting the needs of tha publlo for telephone servlco In a remarkably euocessful way.
