From the beginning of tele- phone history the American public has received the best telephone service of any country in the world. In pro- portion to the service rendered the people have paid less for this telephone service than any other country in the world. The reason why the Amer- ican people have received the l'ughest typeof telephpne serv- ice at the least proportionate cost is because the Bell Sys- tem Has been operated on a scientifically economic basis. One Policy ‘WILL IT RAIN? Every device which inventive skill, engineering ability, labor and time saving talent has been able to create; every efficiency known to buying, operation, executive control and financial conduct has been employed. Public service companies feel the high cost of living as well as individuals. Pay them enough to make possible their giving good service. There iS no permanent saving in poorly paid service, In this land of opportunity none of us is willing to jeop- ardize his success or happi- ness by stinting the payment necessary to secure the most - healthful and efficient service, AMERICAN TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY AND ASSOCIATED COMPANIES One System Universal Service CONSULT THIS WEATHER PROPHET LIKKER LIMERICK- Said a heathen Chinee from Shanghai “I hear the U.

Now the paper I get says that this thing is due to the fact that it’s cold at the poles, that the spring has been late in the Solomon isles and the outrageous telephone tolls.” But Ichabod Penny disputed at once the statements that Angus had made, he -smiled with contempt, saying, ‘“Angus, my friend, your paper is wrong, I'm afraid. 'Now the paper I read, a Republican | sheet, has told me these prices are due to the fact that the Democrats have all the jobs, they’re a most incompetent erew. It tells me that Wilson and Eugene V. Debs, and Trotzky, Lloyd George and Old Nick had all got together and cook- ed up a scheme they say was cer- tainly slick. They didn’t say what they decided to do, or how they had done what they did, somehow or othersthey worked it all right and clamped on the sweetening lid. And now it comes out that the profit they make is turned into Bolshevik gold to spread propaganda among Eskimo tribes and sovietize all the cold.” Then Ichabod’s paper and Angus’, toe, a day or two latter came out with new explanations, both dif- f’rent, of course, of how the whole thing came about. But none of the papers said even a word that in the next county was found a sugar &on- cern which was making just then about seventeen cents on each pound! ; —C. W. V.
