SWEETLAND What You Pay For On a Long Distance Call 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 apparatus such as dynamos, batteries, calculagraphs, testing appa 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 t^ee, a strong wind or an electric storm may put the wires 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 lestored. 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 in any other business involving equal risk.

"A Knocker’s Prayer," in the Strong City News-Courant: Lord, please don't let this town grow. I’ve ben here for thirty years and during that time I’ve found every public im provement. I have knocked everything and everybody, no firm and no indi vidual has established a business here without my doing all I could to put them out of business. I’ve lied about them and would have stolen from them if I had the courage. I have done all I could to keep the town from grow ing and never have spoken a good word for it. I’ve knocked hard and often. I’ve put ashes on the children's slide and I’ve made the marshal stop the boys playing ball on my vacant lots. Whenever I saw anyone pros pering or enjoying themselves. I've started a reform to kill the business or spoil the fun. I don’t want the young folks to stay in this town and I will t do all I can by law, rule and ordinance to drive them away. It pains me, O Lord, to see that in spite of my knocking it is beginning to grow. Some day I fear I will be called on to put down sidewalks in front of my prop erty and who knows but what I may have to help keep up the streets that run by my premises? This, Lord, would be more than I could bear.
