For ex ample, in the last five years 350 major improve ments, as well as thousands of others whose aggre** gate importance mounts high, have been made in telephone central office equipment. Improved operating practices have eliminated tho necessity of your hanging ip” and being called back in 95 per cent 0# n calls, adding new speed and ease to your i / ance service. You hold the wire and the or :v,r does the rest. Since New \ ear s Day, 1927, the average time for completing aii out-of-town calls has been cut 85 per cent and at the same time the per cent of error has been further materially reduced. There is no standing still in the Bell System. J3et ter and better telephone service at the lowest cost is the goal. Present improvements constantly, going into effect are but the foundation for the future’* greater service. i SOUTHERN BELL TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY Uncorporated ) Lv.

Those three things ire negative, just like crab grass with the real farmer. Monday Was April Fool Day in Conyers April fool day was celebrated with a school picnic on the part of several foolish students who got caught in a spring freshet. We happen not to be an April fool as we were born in July. This reminds us of a great April fool handed Uncle Sam on Saturday, April 6th. 1909 when somebody said they found tiie North Pole. They are sup posed to have found it on April the first, but by the time it reached us it was April the sixth. Since that time, several more have been found, but you can't get a kick out of the same joke but once unless you hap pen to be a high school student or an old maid.

A splendid idea and example of economy that is growing in popularity with our working girls today. The apartment affords home like protection and convenience in ev ery respect that thoroughly stabilizes this unit of our commercial activi ties. The fifteen dollars per month railroad fare will more than pay for their home and greatly reduce the time going to and from work which can he used profitably in rest and rec reation. While Conyers regrets to lose these industrious women as citi zens. we rejoice in their betterment in this respect, and wish for them con tentment and happiness in their new home.
