The Public We Serve Own This Company ' HE relation of the Southern Bell Telephone & Telegraph Com t|l pany to the Bell System is not always understood, and the ^?^fact of this relationship is frequently misused in an un friendly manner. There is no secret about the organization or ownership of the Bell System. It is a simple matter which anyone can understand. The Southern Bell Company is owned by the American Tele phone & Telegraph Company, which in turn is owned by more than 250,000 stockholders and many thousands of bond holders. These stock and bond holders are mostly small investors residing in every State in the Union. The Bell System is hot now and never has been controlled by any single interest or group of interests, and is in the truest possible sense a public utility. It is owned by the public and serves the public. The fact that the Southern Bell Company is a part of the great Bell Svstem, which is the most extensive and comprehensive sys tem oi telephones in the world, enables it to furnish the most ef ficient, extensive and reliable telephone service at the lowest cost to the subscriber that obtains anywhere. The telephone business is still a new business, actually less than fifty years old, and the art is constantly developing. The relationship between this Company and the parent organic zation assures to tnis Company a continuous, intelligent and scien tific study of conditions, wnich makes available to it every improve ment in the art tending to better and more economical service. It has made universal service possible, so that every subscriber of this Company may reach practically every place ? large or small ? in the United States. No single company could accomplish the same results for itself. The expense item alone would necessitate rates for service that would be greatly in excess of what they are at present. It is these results that the Southern Bell Company secures through its rela tionship with the Bell System. M. B.

' \ The scope of the league formed among these Indians In the Sixteenth century, Mr. Hewitt said, was not limited to the five Iroquois tribes, but they proposed to bring under their form of government all known tribes of men. The league was based on peace, righteousness, justice, power and health. Laws were provided to atop family feuds and regulations for tho promotion of mental hygiene were laid down. Hiawatha was one of the league chiefs selected by the women and sub jected to recall by theln, ho said.

" . Astronomers Less Optimistic Regard ing Existence of Life Than the Enthusiast. Discussing planetary life, so far as It boars on the planetary system of the sun, we moy state the avernge as tronomical opinion ; It Is far less op timistic for the diffusion of life than Is the opinion of the enthusiast. (1.) Venus, so far as we can see, more nearly fulfills* the conditions than any planet other than tho earth. Its mass and orbit are certainly favor able, Jts distance, rotation, and chem ical constitution, are probably not un favorable, though we cannot penetrate Its dense covering of clouds and seek out the mysteries of Its surface. - (2.) Low forms of life may exist on the planet Mars, where the thin at mosphere does permit our telescope explorations. High forms of life at the present time bre, however, gen erally deeriied Improbable, and belnga comparable with roan and other ter restrial matnmals are considered ut terly impossible. 1IR . (8.)

Clay, also a Kentucklan, and from hire Owen bought a cow, but the cow didn't want to leave h?r family pas ture. She liked the Clay farm, sh? Was contented there.
