It is‘one of those pictures that seem so real one 13 prone to forget, that this bit is meant for comedy, and that for drama. Truc, there are laughs and there are tears, but the whole is so perfecly constructed one is never conscious of the’ machinics. “A Little Journey” is a story of a rich girl, suddenly made poor, who sees her only salvation in accepting the proposal of a wealthy SaniFran- ‘| cisco gentleman. She has no pooner boarded the. train in New . York. to maké the transcontinental journey when she meets a good-looking lik- able waster, with whom she falls in love. Not so much of a ‘plot ,to:be sure, but ituation in which doubt- less hundreds of girls have foune themselves. Claire Windsor acquits herself capably as Juile Rutherford, the girl in the ci Willia sens: iam Haines, who became a ion over night with “Brown of rd,” is seen as George Man- ning, the cracking young man with whom Juile falls in love against her better judgment.

Telephone Company Prepares to Extend Service During 1927 To its 34,500 telephones in North Dakota, the Northwestern Bell Tele- phone company plans to add about 900 diting 1927. Nearly 11,000 miles of wine, 14,000 poles or enough to build 350 miles of line, and 6,000 {crossarms are some of the materials that are expected te be purchased for, extending, maintaining and im- proving the company’s plant in this state. It is estimated that the company will connect 5,900 telephones and disconnect 5,000 others in North Da- {kota during this year in complying with patrons’ orders to install or remoye ‘telephone service. On ac- count of subscribers moving from one office or residence to another, the company will “move” service to 2,500 telephones. During the year just past, the jorthwestern Bell company added 1,115 se ace to its system in this state, and on an average day 176,800 local’ calls and, 3,230 long distance messages ‘were’ completed at the company’s 103 exchanges, To carry on its operation in this state, the company employs 5684 persons. In addition to the Northwestern Bell telephones in North Dakota, there are 42,948 telephones belong- ing. to other companies whose lines connect with the Bell lines. These connecting companies operate in 292 North Dakota towns. Among the outstanding accom plishments effected by the Bell’com- pany in 1926, is the restricted repeti- tion of numbers, or the “thank you” practice used by the operators ‘in acknowledging numbers, Another accomptishment « was | that — of long distance rate adjustments whieh resulted in: a general reduction of rates for the longer distance stight increases for some of shorter distances. with the Benes) 9: | .
