NUMBER, PLEASE! Though the telephone itself is more or less standardized, its use varies greatly, depending on local customs and conditions. In Abyssinia no one is allowed to use the telephone directly. All messages must be written out and given to the operator, who shouts them into tiie receiver at the top of his voice, to the edification of all within hearing. A telephone message there has a privacy comparable with the average goldfish. In Japan, most of the operators, or moshi-nioshi, as they are called, are young girls, the average age being 11. Telephones witli low numbers get the mote experienced girls and better service than those with high numbeis. Rights to telephone numbers, especially low ones, are frequently purchased by those desiring service and unwilling to wait perhaps years for the government to furnish service. The mosh inoshi girls are required to wear kimonos witli shorter am! scantier sleeves than their sist ers. In many exchanges sleeping quarters are provided so that girls quitting work at midnight cut sleej until morning. O'* In Cuba, widows with a family ol daughters are preferred as managers of small exchanger outside the larger cities, and tile "exchange” is located in the home. In Tin key, the centuries-old idea ol woman's sphere has resulted in com paratively fed Moslem operators. th» work bc'ng done by Creeks. Armdn lans. Jewesses and other races. Ai there are three Sabliatlis observed in each week by Mohammedan. Jew and -.vie,.’ , . ■ r lil I h telephone traffic on Fridays, Satur days or Sundays. In India, most of the women opcr alor.- are Eurasians, or mixed Euro pean and native stock, though many opeiaturs are men. In England, an operator is called a •'telephonist.” In Russia, it is a penal offense t< call ihein anything but "comrade” ol

"clt scness. In Germaity, it is claimed, operators a .- forbidden to wear jewelry or to bob their hair. In Japan, on answering a call, the operator says, “Moshi-moshi," which is < univalent of ‘‘Hello.” la England, “Are you there?” la Erance. "1 ant listening." In Germany. “Here’s the exchange." In Norway, “Central" or “Yes.” In Sweeden, the operator simply gives her own number as “40." lit L*'lginp!, thn operator <»n cowpletiir; the call, says, “Talk.” In Sweden. “Please begin”; in Norway. ‘‘Clear." • n England, the “telephonist" says, “You're through." meaning you are i oly to begin to talk. thing all operators seem 1c ha-i- i'i common . mine,r or Later they g"f married.

It is not natural for the normal man to want to be a hermit —never seeing crowds. Neither is it desiriible io be “lost in the crowd." or tr.uaped to death by a crowd. Once people had to move to big cities for crowd contacts, culture, music, lectures. entertainment—-Larger life! Io day the automobile, the hard road.

fILfALFA GOOD FEED FDD HOSS ' 1 Has High Feeding Value And Remains Green During Hot Summer I (By County Agent) , Alfalfa is the best permanent pas- 1 ture crop for hogs where conditions are favorable for its growth. It pot only has a higlu* feeding value than clover or blue grass, but remains 1 green and succulent during the hot summer months when blue grass has 1 dried up and clover is often hard and 1 dry. Al fa fra is ready for pastin'.ng early 1 in the spring and continues until late in the fall. It has the advantage of lasting through a number of seasons * while clover and rape must be reseeded. > ■When alfalfa is not pastured heavly one or two light crops of hay can be eut during the season. This is good iraelice in pasturing because heavy grazing tends to kill out the stand. *■ Alfalfa is a suitable pasture crop or al! classes of hogs, but is especialy valuable for brood sows and young >igs. Its high protein and lime conent makes it valuable for growth aud nilk production. A good stand of alfalfa will graze S to 20 full fed hogs per acre while, he nuihber will he reduced to six of seven when the hogsjjre firing grown in a half feed of grain. Under averse conditions four or five brood sows ■nd their litters can be pastured on .n acre of alfalfa Although alfalfa ranks at the top >£ the pasture crops as a supplement o torn for hogs jt is usually advlsble/to add tankage or some other high protein com entrate td the . raijon. especially for young growing pigs, says C. M. testa! of the Agricul ural Experiment Station. Purdue. Recent tests at the Purdue Expert ment Station show that spring pigs ed for market on alfalfa pasture made more rn-pid gains ami saved more corn Hid tankage than those on clover. In two trials the pigs on alfalfa gained in average of 1.76 pounds daily and •equired 331 lbs., of corn and 26 lbs., >f -Wrtfkage per 100 lbs., gain, while >n clover the average daily gain was I.Gs lbs., with a feed requirement of 336 lbs., of corn and 30 pounds of ankagi: per 100 lbs., of gain. A good pasture crop is essential for, he most economical pork production. ;>i fad it is so- important that it often makes the difference between profit ami loss in the business. ■More farmers in Indiana should •solve their pasture problem;; by sow ing a small acreage to alfalfa to sup plemeni thd'r clover and other pas‘tires, hi many sections alfalfa should be the principal pasture crop for hogs.

Rev. A. D. Burkett, author of the Good Will poems. hac written to explain why none of hts jwbs have ap peared in the Daily Democrat this week. He says: “I am a member of the North Indiana conference of the Methodist Episcopal church and th' recent conference, at Anderson appointed me to serve the Hobbs and Aroma charge for this conference year. "A thosand and one things" in eident to moving and getting adjusted to my new surroundings and getI ting some things adjusted to- my tastes have utterly crowded the poems in the background. The i so. As this is the first lapse' in tour I years I trust it will be pardoned.
