Flow To Use The
TELEPHONE
Did it ever occur to you that you
might not be using the telephone in the
. right way?
Do you speak sideways, above, be
low, or six inches away from the trans
mitter of your telephone? t.
You should talk ? directly into the
transmitter ? not simply at it. Keep your
lips about one inch from the mouthpiece.
Speak in an even tone, v It is not neces
sary to shout.
There is much that can be said about
the proper way to telephone, but these
little rules will help.

inion throughout tho world of tho
governments tbey unhappily for the
moment eontToi. You* will uot need
to b?r ccuvtncod that It wuh noeesaary
for us as a free people to take jairt In
this w nr. * ? * Tho rulers of (Icruiany
had sought to exwlne their power In
wuch a way as t?^hut oft' our economic
life so far am our Intercourse with Ku

Impalrod and ln>pedod ovory process
of our national lifo ami have put tho
fortunes of Amerlcu at tho mercy of
tho im|>crlal government of (Jcnuany.
This was no throat. It had booowo
a reality. Tholr lutnd of violence
had Ihh>u laid u|h>u our own people
and our own property In tl affluent vio
lation not only of justice but of well
reoognivced and long standing cove
nants of international law and treaty.
Wo are lighting, tt* if tho war of our
own revolution therefore, as truly for
tho liberty and aelf -government of the
United States had tc? la4 fought over
again ; and every man In every husl
noHs In the United States must know
hy this time that his whole future lies
in the halancc. Our n/ttional life and
our whole economic development will
pass tinder the sinister influences of
foreign control if we do not wlu. Wo
must win, therefore, and we shall win.
I need not ask you to pledge your
lives and fortunes with those of the
rest of the nation to the accomplish
ment of that great end.
"You will realise, as 1 think states
men on both widen of the water real
ize, tthat tho culminating crisis of
the struggle haw come and that the
achievements of thin year on the one
side or tho other must determine the
issue. It has turned out tliat the
forces tfhat tight for freedam ? * * de
pend upon us in an extraordinary and
unexpected degree for sustenance, for
the supply of Jhc materials by which
men are to live and to fight, and it
will l>e our glory when the war is
over tlmt. we have supplied those ma
terials and supplied them abundantly,
and it will l>e all the more glory be
cause. in supplying them we have
made our supreme effort and sacri
fice. !
"In the field of agriculture we have
agencies and instrumentalities, for
innately, such as no other- gojeern
ment In the world can show. The de
partment of agriculture is undoubted
ly the greatest practical and wcleu
tllic agricultural organization in the
world. * * 0 The banking legislation
of the last two or three years has
given the farmers access to the great
loadable capital of the country. ? ? *
lloth by direct purchase of nitrates
and by the establishment of plants,
to produce nitrates the government Is
doing its utmost to assist in the prob
lem of fertilization. The department
of agriculture and other agencies are
actively assisting the farmers to lo
cate, safeguard, and secure at cost an
adequate supply of sounu seed. The
department has $2,500,000 avoilablc
for this purpose now and has asked
the congress for $6,000,000 more.
The labor problem Is one of great
difficulty and some of the best
agencies of the nation are addressing
themselves to the task of solving it
so far as ifc is possible to solve it ???
"Lot me say that the stimulation
of the agencies I have enumerated
has been responded to, by the farm
ers In splendid fashion ? ? * Last
spring their planting exceeded by 12,
000,000 acres the largest plauting of
any prcv}ous_ year, and the yields
from the crops were record breaking
yields. In the fall of 1917 a wheat
acreage of 42,170,000 was planted,
which was 1,000,000 larger than for
| any pr?iceding yoarv 3000,000 great
e,r than tho next largest, and 7,000,
000 greater than the. preceding five
year average.
I "But I ought to say to you that it
Ls not only ndcessary that these
achievements should be repeated, but
that they should be exceeded.
"I will not appeal to you to oon
i tlnue and renew and increase your
efforts, I do not believe that it is
necessary to do so. I believe that
you will do it without any. word or
appeal from me, because you under
stand as well as I do the needs and
opportunities of this great hour when
the fortunes of mankind everywhere
seem about to * be determined and
i when America has the greatest op
portunity she has ever had to make
good her own freedom and in mak
ing it good to lend a helping hand to
men struggling for their freedom ev
erywhere. You remember that it was
farmers from whom came the first
shots at Lexington, that set aflame
the revolutldm thatf made America
free. I hope and believe that the
farmers of America will willingly and
conspicuously stand by to win this
war also. The toll, the intelligence,
the energy, the foresight, the self
sacrifice and devotion of the farmers
of America will, I believe, bring to a
triumphant conclusion this great last
war for the emancipation of men
from the control of arbitrary govern
ment and the selfishness of class leg
islation and control, and then, when
the end has come, wo un?y look eaeh
otherjn the face and be glad that w?
are Americans am! have had the
privilege to play such a part."
