Two Mild Answers
Caused Complaint by
Unserved Customer
Recently the Capital Joureal chron
icled the kick of a Pendleton man
against the local telephone company
in which he showed anger and also a
JniBnaious flispositionl Recently an
other complaint was made against the
Western Union telegraph company, but
this one was voiced in gentle words
and soft phrases calculated to soothe
the martial spirit of even a hard' heart
ed telegraph company. The complaint
allegees that August 29 at 8 o'clock in
the morninjt he sent a message over
thi company's wires, or at least paid
the company for sending such message,
but that it has not yet been delivered.
The complaint says: "As I have had
considerable experience with the mar
velous inefficiency of this company I
also gave the telephone number of the
person to whom the telegram wag ad-
!!0KPI1 P Pmisea to investigate.
i Br i lriAaa s a itil-AflriYflTinir TTfcr ainiR
!l have heard nothing from him. A
jfew days later I called again, and an-
other shock absorber listened to my
complaint, and evidently acted on the
principle that a pleasant word was an
that was necessary to bring around a
dissatisfied customer."
The complainant admits he has suf
fered no material damage but won-
lers if the. company intends to hold
the small sum of money he paid it for
work it did not do. in crdor to help
swell its excess profits in the interests
of the government.

This was announced this afternoon
Dy jonn Morgenthaiet, district presi

The conference between representa
tives of the organized telephone oper
ators of the northwest and the elec
trical workers and D. P. Fullerton, gen
eral manager of the company, which
was still in progress at 1 p.. m, will be
the final conference, Mergenthaler
said. Unless there is some detinite re
sult from this parley, he indicated that
negotiations will close.
Morgcnthaler would not state wheth
er auy progress had been mado at to
day's conference which began an hour
before noon. He promised, however, to
issue a complete statement of the sit
uation about 2:30, after the confer
ence has ended.
The district president estimated that
by 8 o'clock tomorrow night the wir
ed strike calls would be in the bands
of all locals on the Pacific coast, should
the strike be called. The walkout will

parocniai schools paralleling high
schools in general requirements as to
age and scholarship. The second will
include children from 11 to 14 years of
age. If any children are still in the
grades and ovct 14 years of age, thoy

class. The third class will be for
children 10 years of age and under. In
all cases private and parochial schools
are to be included on a similar basis.

one essay in each class in the stato

permitted but one essay in the county
contest in each class. Each school
room shall be permitted one contestant
only in its class in the contest within
the district. In' county uchools whero

would mean that such school would
have one contestant in each class
covered.

districts plenty of time, the contests
will not be closed until November 17.

prizes.
High School Students
Get Food Pledge Cards
Tho food conservation, or rather the
food substitution campaign, is now on
in earnest as the high school students
have boen given pledge cards and they
are 'to carry thorn home and secure the
signatures of thoir parents or the heads
of the families. Then after bringing
pack to the school tho pledge card pro
perly signed, the student may curry
homo a window sign which shows that
the family has agreed to co-operate with
the government on the food proposi
tion. And if the sign is not in tho window
it is a pretty sure indication the fam
ily living there is going to cat meat
on meatless days, wheat on wheatless
days and all tho sugar they want, re
gardless of the wishes of tho food ad
ministration. The pledge is as follows: "I am f,lud
to join you in the service of food conser
vation for our nation and I hereby ac
cept membership in the United States
Food Administration, pledging myself
to carry out the directions and advice oi
the Food Administration in my home,
in so far as circumstances permit." The
membership window card will now tell
the story. The housekeeper is cither for
