The meat of one is the poison of an other. The general play of a news paper must be to all of them. The editor of a newspaper tries in a broad, general way to interest every body. To do that he must give every reader a little of the fare he likes best. Comparatively few persons read speochcs at a)}. Fewer still read them in their entirety. Speeches are dull reading to most. For that rea son. most speeches are c.ut, and the editor m charge must decide offhand what is important and unimportant in the address at which he is whittling. Usually his judgment is good.

THE Achievement of yesterday i Is the Hcritaqe of Tomorrow THE detail* and results of the operation* of the Southern Group of Boll Tale phone Companies during the year 1925 enable you to be familiar with the prog reaa of the telephone induatry In Alabama. Florida, Georgia, the Carolina*, Kentucky. Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee. This presentation is but a continu ation of our policy of taking the public fully into our confidence, and expressing the appreciation of the telephone workers for your friendly interest and oo -operation. IN tt^ese rune States then; was an expenditure last year of approxi mately $23,608,700 for gross ad ditions to the telephone plant. There was a net gain of 54,186 new telephone stations, which required that 173,931 telephones be installed and 119,745 be removed. r Service is now rendered to 1,147,590 telephone stations in the nine States Of these 772,979 are Bell owned, 336, 430 are owned by other companies, but connected with the Bell System and include thousands of telephone* located in farm homes. The investment in service, Decem ber 31, 1925, was $143,962,506, not including $2,355,011 of construction work in progress This investment includes such per manent property as 890 central of fices. with their switchboards and other associated equipment; 2,600, 845 miles of wire (3.5 miles per tele , phone) ; 39,086 miles of pole line and 2.807 miles of underground duct. To build, operate, maintain and maoagr this system require* the ser vices of an army of skilled men and women, whose annual payroll amounts to $20,835,362. The duties of citizenship impose the responsibility of sharing the cost of government by the payment of taxes. Last year the tax expense amounted . to $3,966,784, which is three times as jrreat as the tax bill for the year 1918. The use of the service is a measure * of its value and efficiency. Last year there was an enormous increase in the volume of calls, and it is a matter of pride that the character of the service rendered was of a high order ?the best for any year since the / Another source of satisfaction has been our happy relations with our customers and with the public. This has been reflected in the fact that there are now more than 11,548 stock holders of the Bell System in this territory, who own 218,016 shares of stock. ^ The telephone workers appreciate your friendly co-operation, and it en courages them to strive continually to render the kind of service you want.
