Office Cat (Copyright 1921 by Edgar Allan Mobs.) Worth Reading - Following the announcement of a rehearing of the tele phone rale case by the Public Service commission, comes a circular from the banking house of Kidder. Peabodv & Co.. of New York and Boston, entitled "This is worth reading," sent to all telephone subscribers. After announcing that they have made a study of the affairs of the American Telephone and Telegraph company and specialized in its securities, the bankers assert that there are few, if any, concerns in the country whose positions are more secure, because among other things : "The American Telephone & Teleeranh wimnanv lias never naid a j dividend which it has not earned with a wide margin of safety. In n rani approximately 111,70 per share. "For 40 consecutive years th company (with Its predecessor) has paid uninterrupted dividends of at least $7.50 per share. The directors have now placed the company upon a $9.00 per year dividend basis." "There is a large business in sight and the evidence of the past points to an endless increase" continue the bankers which all of us are quite willing to believe if public service commissions constantly grant increases in rates. If the Telephone company is so prosperous, that it never failed to pay dividends of $7.50 a share for 40 consecutive years, and in addition piled up a surplus of hundreds of mil lions, why is it necessary to increase rates to the nnhliV so tfcof Q r. 4MjL.j. i :j j -i.-n details.

"He says he's coming here very soon and that we are going to live in Washington. He is already packing up our things." "Some people have all the luck." pouted Bab. "I expect now you won't go motoring." "Yes, I think I shall, Bab; Hal doesn't say just when he will be here and I shall be very restless until I see him and hear all the "I am not." "Afrafd to Yrust yourself with your husband's best friend?" he pursued. "According to our novels and dramas, a husband's best friend is the last man wtih whom a wife should trust herself," I replied. . "Who are you going to ask to chaperone us, Alix?" "I'm going to ask the prettiest girl in town," I evaded. "Of course that's Bab," came his unexpected answer. a - . I ru fl ef A never fain would help to sound his ' wrunS from the public by excessive charges, or the improve- doom, meiu 01 service oy lowering us cost to trie public ; the manutacturer that produces a better article at less cost to the public, renders a real service to the people. The public corporation that gives a constantly bettered service to the public at a price that diminishes with the increased volume of business, is also rendering a real service to the people. Such business, resting on good-will, is much more table and secure than those that exist for the sole purpose ot piling up money and charging all the traffic will bear. The Telephone company's point of view is the old Wall street idea of squeezing the people, which has brought un popularity and disaster to so many public service corpor ations. That the new point of view, that of service pays, is being demonstrated by many at the present time among whom may be cited Henry Ford, How oft my bitter wrath he's stirred , I mean the weaiy pest to whom Most every irortal Is "u bird."

"Oh, you certainly are smart enou rif put him off with some sort ot an ansv-ir." I went to the telephone and called up Duane. I should not have done this if I had not found, upon reading his letter myself, that he had asked -me to do it, because I confess I am still old- fashioned enough to dislike phon ing a man. "Duane, this is Alix," I said, as I recognized his voice. "I have been listening (or the sound of your voice over the phone for the last half hour," he said quickly. "That's all very lovely but you would hardly expect me to be lieve that you have been sitting at the phone desk for a half hour on the chance that I would call.

Don't think for u minute that aetoi'H and actresses kiss every time they make up. The Oregonian cartoonist pictures Harding leadintr the government horse under a low branched tree and a limb . to te" me tnat you we eolns knocking off "Useless Gov't Employes" and "needless ex pense" while the delighted taxpayers dances with glee. It is a beautiful pipe-dream in which the cartoonist's fancy runs riot with tacts, for, in the same issue and on the same page we are informed that the "senate rejects economy in navy ; personnel increase to 120,000 voted; $42,500,000 added to the $495,000,000 naval bill." Senate economy added 20,000 men to the navy, increased pay $15,377,000 for personnel, $5,800,000 for reserve forces, $8,783,000 for provisioning, $7,500,000 for fuel, and $5,000, 000 for marine corps quartermaster corps. As a result, the navy will cost the taxpayers $537,500,000 this year; President Harding's contribution to economy consists in well rounded oratory in which pleasing parlor platitudes are mingled with good intentions. But there has been no economy practiced any where along the line nor is any in sight. Having fought a war to end war, the United States is now spending for future war upon a single arm of the military .service over half a billion dollars, more than the entire cost of government a few decades ago.
