The supreme realism of the Official l aboratory Model has teen
proved by 4,000 comparison tests against the actual perform­

The instruments used were exact duplicates of the Original
Official Laboratory Model, to perfect which Mr, Edison spent
three million dollars.
We guarantee the Official Laboratory Model we shall show you,
to be capable of passing all these tests of the Direct Com­

Supplying Telephone Service
Occasionally subscribers move and ask us for a continuance of telephone service at their new loca,
tion They may be told that compliance with their desires is immediately impossible owing to lack ot
"telephone facilities" in a particular locality. ‘Why," one will say, "the poles and wire are on the
street and the house is already wired."
We wish that the problem were as simple as it sounds. There may be poles and wires, but every
wire may be in use in giving service to others. There may be a cable, but every circuit In it may be
assigned to telephones already installed. There may be a telephone In the vacant house or apartment
to which you move but no spare wires and circuits from your location to the central office. There may
even be sections of switchboards in the central office but not available for operation on account of the
lack of necessary switchboard apparatus such as ringing keys, relays, etc.

The reason for the shortage for the telephone equipment is simple. During the war period we were
unable to maintain our reserve or stock plant as the same materials we use were required and taken
for government purposes and for industries favored by the government. Since the war, with the un­
expectedly prolonged problems of reconstruction, production and delivery of materials needed to meet
even current demands have been delayed. Every business concern is having similar experiences. The
manufacturers of telephone equipment have been bending every effort to fill our orders, but they, in
turn, are meeting the same difficulties in securing rubber, paper, silk, glass, porcelain, tin, thread, she-
lac, metal parts and other articles not generally associated in the public mind with telephone service.
At the same time with this abnormal situation with reference to materials there exists an unprece­
dented demand for telephone service, and even under these circumstances our record is one of fulfill­
ment of demand.
In the first nine months of 1920 we made a total net gain of over 7300 telephones in the State of
Oregon. A fact worthy of consideration in our operations in the large number of telephones handled
in proportion to net increase. In those nine months we disconnected, connected and moved 41,140 in­
struments to secure the net gain above mentioned.
We desire to give service as much as a patron wishes to receive it. We desire to promptly comply
with the suggestions of public authorities who have taken a proper interest in the situation. We are
facing abnormal conditions but we are trying to overcome our difficulties.

The amount of money to be raised
by this special tax is more than the
amount raised by special school dis­
trict tax in the year immediately
preceding this, plus six per cent. It
is necessary to raise this additional
amount by special levy for the follow­
ing reasons:
All salaries have been advanced.
There will be two or three more
teachers required.
All supplies have increased in
price, and more supplies are needed
and more improvements on building
are needed.

"I say. Pm in a fix with my giri!”
said young Dubbs disconsolately.
"Why?” replied his sympathetic
friend, "what's the matter, my boy ?
Have a row?”
"No, It isn’t that Tou see. I’ve
been saying so many nice things to her
that she’s getting conceited. I cant
stop It, and I can't keep it up."
“Can’t, eh? Why not ?
“Well, you see, if I kept on she’ll
begin to think she's too good for roe,
and If I stop she’ll think j don’t care
for ber any more.”

Timely Farm Hints
Pruning may be started as soon as
the leaves have fallen In western Ore.
The trees are dormant at this time
and may be safely pruned. In east­
ern Oregon the pruning may not be
done safely until late winter or early
spring on account of the cold.—Hort­
icultural, O. A. C.
Potatoes are best when allowed to
He in the ground for 2 or ' 3 weeks
after growing has ceased. This gives
them a chance to mature.—Farm
Crops, O. A. C.
Nursery stock should be carefully
examined for disease before planting.
Especial care should be taken to see
that no borers have entered the roots
or stems of the plant NinI
and serious pests have been
ed through lack of inspectio",
nursery stock by buyer
ology, O. A. C.
