As the trapshooting body had in-
' formed the American Olympic com
mittee that it would take care of the
expenses of the trapshooters the only
thing for them to do was to go
' through with the plan. That the mat

of Jay Slark, Jr, of Worcester, Mass.;
E. P. Mathewson of Antbonda, Mont.,
and Ralph H. S potts, of New York,
with Mr. Clark as the representative
to the American Olympic Committee.
-The original idea for the sending
a team of trapshooters to Belgium was
the selection of the ten highest men in
the 1919 averages on 2,000 or more
targets, but with the failure of the
voluntary contribution plan, this
' scheme died too, and the present idea
of the Committee, as we understand
it is to send not more than ten men
who will pay their own expenses and
who will agree to practice the Contin
ental style of shooting for some time
previous to the Olympic matches.

You know the value of the human voice!
. You know that next to a face-to-face con
, ' versation ,the best thing is a long-distance
conversation.
With factories "behind with orders, with
shipping delays and shanging prices, you
know how your trade requires a constant,
PERSONAL attention.
But do ypu know that here in the
Northwest is a strictly long-distance tele
phone company, independently owned
and operated?
That we LIKE to handle rush calls, to
locate parties, and to do everything that
ycu might ask a long-distance operator
to do?
Then the next time you phone a custo
mer or call the house iust say, "North
western Long Distance ' to the operator.
A handy, compact book for recording long-distance
calls will be sent (free) upon refluent.
