From this time forth, the public ‘will notice a i - decided improvement “The-local ‘manager, J. M. Kuhn, still has a big handicap to overcome in the' way of general -sentiment to- ward the service rendered during the ‘past’ six months, The general im- pression seems to be that the public has become prejudicéd against’ the phone company because of the al- leged poor service rendered. The citizens cannot expect too much at one time. Many of them thought that immediately upon the installa- tion of the new system, a decided improvement would be made and all at one ‘time. As the new system is Taid under ground and the cables overhead, the~heavy rains during June have done considerable damage by short-circuiting the various wires. This trouble has been- entirely reme- | died and Bemidji can. look: forward to- the best kind- of service. Dur- ing the past, however, the trouble h has not been entirely with the tele- phone company, as investigation has ES proven. It is clearly evident that ‘the patrons of the line must.be eda- cated to using the new system pro- perly. L) o @ive Central a Chance. " For instance, a person goes to the telephone, lifts up the receiver and gets central and proper connections. When he has finished speaking and he desires to call up another num- ber, he should pull down the hook on the telephone, hold it for a few sec-. onds and release it the same as when he first took the receiver off the hook. He should not jerk the hook down and up quickly, as this causes the signal light in the central office to go out. Lifting the hook slowly causes a flash on the switch board which remains lighted. Users must learn that the central girls arebusy persons and uselessques- tions asked delay them from answer- ing other calls which might be flash- ed on the switch board. Register Complaints, Manager Kuhn encourages the registration of complaints. Com- plaints to him are recorded and fol- > lowed up until the service is entirely satisfactory. Registering a kick at central may not always result in per- . .fect service. All that is asked by the local manager is that patrons glve their co-operation as far as pos- “sible. Every patron should read the ‘instructions in the telephone direct- ory and when using the line should follow them absolutely. Natural Prejudice. Naturally, prejudices against a ~corporation develop rapidly and pat- rons- can do much to overcome these - prejudices, and - thereby effect - bet- @ " ter gervice if they will but co-op- ‘erate, Bemidji citizens are fair-minded “‘people. They appreciate good serv- ice and are big and broad enough to assist.in getting it, provided the pro- position is properly placed before them: SHOW PLANS FRIDAY.

The programs as ar- ranged for the day were carried out as_announced, with the exeception, Hines, ‘A. B. Page, president of the Hines board, spoke. Three separate programs were car- ried on throughout the day, one be- ing for the school officers, one: for the hoys of the corn contest, and one for the girls of the bread-making contest. “The boys were taken out to the Bemidji school rarm by Agricul- turist ‘Gile and they were addressed by T.-A.

In" order to be prepared for a_ big rush the ‘association officers invited the farmers and merchants to take stock in the association so that/avail- able cash might be had for the pur-. ° ‘pose ‘of erectfing. a warehouse “and equipping the plant with proper fa- cilities to take care of the crons. $4,000.Is Needed.. 7 Many at_that time, both farmers o and merchants, morally supported’ the idea and believed thaf the Onion Growers’“association could be “devel- oped into just the klnd ol cash mar- ket needed. E Some gladly took stock in the en- terprise, while many expressed their desire to do so. A committee was appointed to take charge of the work. This committee consists of W. L. Brooks, A. H. Jester and H. C. Baer. They should recéive the hearty co- operation of both and when they start out Thursday morning there i should not be a single business man = or farmer tributary ‘to the city, but who is willing to support the cause. s It ‘was figured out that about $4,- 000 would be nieéded to carry on the work ™ properly. “Oné thousand " dol- lars has already been subscribed for and the field has not been scratched. This proposition is not for the mer- chant, but for the farmer. Of course the merchant knows that what helps the farmer will ultimately help him. The farmers should be just as will- ing and free to take stock.in .this enterprise as the. business man, and should bear in mind that the'mer- chant subscribes for it only.tempor- arily.
