Efficiency
OWN the road it travels, one of the most efficient things
on wheels. Coils of wire are stored inside. Tools are in the
snug lockers. Pike poles and shovels are in their racks. A big
winch is bolted to its frame and there are pipes of steel from
which to form a sturdy derrick.
Sometimes it draws a trailer loaded with long, straight poles.
Sometimes it bears a heavy reel of cable. Often its load is men.
The telephone truck gets many a glance as it passes. For
whether on the peace-time job of construction and mainten
ance or bound to where snow and sleet have made for it a
battle ground, it means power, speed, efficiency, economy and
human loyalty, united in the task of making telephone service
better, broader, more dependable.

The poultry census is taken only every 10 years. The last cen
sus showed thens were in the Unite ! States 360,000,000 chickens.
They proein" d 1.6 ¿3 (100,000 dozen eggs. The gear's production
of chick ns and (‘¡•¿■s brought $1,048,000.000.
Services will be held at the Metho

usual time. In the morning the ser
mon theme will be, "The Cost of No
Living the Christian Life." In th<
evening the subject will be “Makin;

pastor.
Ninety per cent of this billion dollars goes to farmers or rather
to farn’crs’ wives. These good wives spend it for grooeries, cloth
ing, lights, a s k i n ’ machines, rugs, pictures, books, phonographi.
If we should tok the poultry money out of a farm community, the
country town merchants would wonder what had happened to their
business.
Higher labor and feed prices, our new r knowledge of the fac
tors making for economical and euccessful egg production, and an
increasing demand for a standardized product on the part of the
consumer are factors which are forcing many farm folks to make
adjustnu nts in their flocks, Farm poultry is fast getting down to
a more bnsin ss-like basis.
