ALEXANDERS Quality—Service—Pendleton’ Leading Store The Telephone Situation In the engineering of a telephone plant—switchboards, conduits, cables, pole lines and general mechanical equipment—we have always tried to anticipate the growth of a community and provide' therefor by advance construction. This course has enabled us to more promptly comply with re quirements for service with better construction and at an ultimate expense less than that involved in waiting to meet demands as they arise. ) In the war period we were unable to maintain this reserve plant, as the very things we needed for telephone purposes were required and necessarily taken for government purposes. The demand for telephone service did not decrease and our reserve facilities were practically absorbed in meeting it. A b every business man knows, the problems of reconstruction following the war have been acute and prolonged to an entirely unexpected degree. Unusual conditions are prevalent throughout the entire manufacturing, mercantile and social world. The telephone industry has had to meet all the difficulties and handicaps of retarded production, distribution and transportation. This advertisement is not meant to be one of a pology, but one of explanation and even accomplish ment. In the face of an unprecedented demand for telephone service in the last few months, hamp ered by the exhaustion of our reserve plant and difficulty in securing materials, we have added more telephones thus far this y'ar in the State of Oregon than in any similar period of telephone history. In the State of Oregon, in the eight months ending August 31, we have added 6863 telephones. In the eight months ending July 31, 1917—before the war—we gained 2655 telephones. In the State of Oregon we have approximately 2600 unfilled applications for telephone service. A similar situation exists all over the United States. We will continue to secure all the equipment . . possible, and the desires of the public will be met as soon as it is humanly possible to do so. The Telephone Company regrets the inconvenience to prospective subscribers. It is anxious to give service as the patron is to receive it. The Company is doing all in its power to remedy condi tions and furnish service in accordance with normal standards.

The Democrats are giving us the same line of bunk which enabled them to elect Woodrow Wilson four years ago and dispatch this nation of ours on the most costly, most shameful jamboree of waste and extrav- ■ agance in its history. Of course, they would make the League of Nations the main issue in the campaign. They tel us the HAVE League will keep us out of war but the LEAGUE GUARANTEES FOR MORE WARS A YEAR THAN OCCURED IN THE LAST CENTURY. Did the League keep the smaller nations of Europe out of 29 wars in the very first year of its existence? No! The League very generously provides ■ that it will see that America enters into European tangles whether it signs up or not. Vote down the Wilson League.
