What You Pay For On
a Long Distance Cai!
In making a long distance telephone call you
have the use of more than merely the wires over
which you talk.
The wires are only a small part of the equip
ment provided for a long distance call. There
must be switchboards, terminal rooms, pole
lines and many other kinds of'hpparatus such as
dynamos, batteries, calculagraphs, testing appa- j
ratus, repeaters and loading coils to magnify
the voice currents, and other expensive equip
ment generally unseen by the telephone user.
In making a long distance call you have the
services of two or more operators who connect
you and guard both ends of the line while you
talk.
In addition to the operators there are other
employees watching the equipment in the cen
tral offices and repairmen guarding the long
distance wires.
Repairmen Always Ready
Somewhere along the line, the branch of a
tree, a strong wind or an electric storm may put
the wares out of order. But nearby is a tele
phone man ready to hurry to the spot, so that
the line may be quickly repaired and service
restored.
The amount you are charged when you make
a long distance call is to help maintain the line,
to facilitate the payment of interest on the in
vestment in the equipment used for long dis
tance, to aid in the payment of taxes on the
property and assist in paying the employees’
wages.
We endeavor to obtain only such a return on
the investment in our long distance lines as
could be earned on the money if it were invested
□asiness involving equal risk.

AN OPEN LETTER.
To Mr. Hans Johnson:—As you have
hailed me in public, in regard to state
I ments of your partiality in your road
work, you have made false statements
to keep from working the road :n
places.
There are places in your public roads
that are and have been impassable
for years. When you were asked to fix
them you said you were not going to
spend a dollar only on the main travel
ed roads.
It seems according to your idea the
main traveled road is mostly between
your house and Loup City. If you have
been impartial in your work why did
you let part of the main traveled road
get in such a shape, that the man who
drags that part of the road refused to
drag it saying it did no good.
Does this uphold the principles you
preach in Farmers’ Union work?

AFRAID OF CATS.
New York, Mar. 14. The presence of
a pet puss in the Twenty-third street
recruiting station of the United States
marine corps today-caused Wm. James
an accepted recruit from Fremont,
Ohio, to rush out into the street
screaming with terror just as he was
about to take the oath that would make
him a “soldier of the sea” ready to
meet the enemy on the field of battle.
“I know I’m a’fraidy cat,” James told
Surgeon Weston of the marine corps
after he had recovered from the attack
of his Strangs malady, "but I simply
can’t be in the room where there is a
cat. I don’t have to see the cat either.
I can feel its presence and it nearly
drives me crazy.”
James’ case is recognized in medical
science as aelurophobia.
He was rejected.
There have been more automobile
asphyxiations in the country this win
ter than heretofore and it has prompt
ed the government to issue a warning
against operating automobile engines
in small garages with doors and win
dows closed. “On the tests conducted.’’
says the warning, "the air in the ga
rage was rendered decidedly dangerous
after the automobile engine had been
running about fifteen minutes. The gas
is carbon monoxide, colorless, odor
less and tasteless, and is extremely
poisonous. The dangerous symptoms
of carbon monoxide poisoning comes
almost without warning and collapse
in a garage generally proves fatal, un
less outside aid arrives very soon." A
chemist conducting the tests by the
government bureau of mines was con
siderably affected by the gases.
KEEPING FARM RECORDS.
How to make an inventory of the
farm business is explained in Bulletin
No. 41. ‘The Farm Inventory.” just is
sued by the Agricultural Extension
Service of the University of Nebraska,
Lincoln. Blank forms for use during a.
four-year period are included in the
bulletin, which may be had free upon
application to the Extension Service.
Reasons why the farmer finds the
keeping of farm records advisable are
summed up as follows by the farm
management department of the univer
sity: (1) it provides a means of study
ing the farm business; (2) it often set
tles disputes, that is, if questions
arise in dealing with others, the man
who has kept records is best able to
make his claims stand: and (3) care
fully kept records improve credit.
An exchange solemnly informs us
that the water of the Antartic ocean
is colder than that of the Artie. All
right, brother; buy yourself a smoke.
