Tho address on ovory lettbr, card,

Put the proper amount of postage

causes postoffice clerks and letter
carriers to stop and study, and thus

Well Deserved Praise
Americans, to coin u word, arc the
telophofllest pvpplo on earth. There
are nearly 10,000,000 telephones In tills
country and the number of telephone
conversations runs Into many billions
nunuully. Development of the tole
pone has been pheuomennl. It has be
come an Indispensable factor In tho
business und social life of modern
times.
Just it word In appreciation of Uio
telephone operator. Sho Is quite hu
man, of course, and, like her crfllcs,
sho sometimes makes mistakes. But,
considering the prodigious amount of
dltlk'ult, trying work which sho does,
it Is renuirknble thtit she mnkes so few
mistakes.
Oftentimes the complaint that Is
made of her Is unjust. It may not bo
her error or her fault. A great many
users of telephones nre careless, slov
enly und exasperating In calling, nnd
try the pntlenco of "centrnl." It U
this class of persons, usunlly, who u
unreasonable and abusive toward op
erators. And yet, seldom docs nn op
erator defend herself, although, In
ninny Instances, sho would he Justluod
In doing so.
Iown City users of tho telephone
have been commenting lately on the
courtesy being received from tho young
women who work at tho switchboards
of th'o Northwestern Bell Telephone
company In this city. At lia best, tho
work is strenuous nnd nerve racking
and those who cmnigc In It deserve
prnlkc for their polite and kind treat
ment of pntrons wlm are not nlwayB
nraluble.
Thoughtful, considerate persons re
alize tho tremendous strain under
which these usunlly clllclent young
women work and nre not captious in
criticizing them.
