Operators at switch boards all over the world are for ever weaving, In a tapestry of words, the story of many lives and the p a 11 e r n of countless activi ties. In and out of the switchboards move the cords that Intertwine the voices of communities and conti nents. Swiftly, skillfully, the oper ators pick up the threads of speech and guide them across the miles, over high mountains and desert wastes, to moving ships or to dis tant lands across the seas. In the truest senser your tele phone operator is both fffend^ and neighbor. Often ties bf kinship and association bind her to those whose voices come across the wires. Through her switchboard pass many messages daily that are _ ^ the greatest import- race tb the nfrfffirBfi?" Iness of the community. Bright and early In the morning she puts through a call that helps a farmer order a spare part for bis tractor. Another connection finds out if Jim Thomas, "over near Bo- gard” is feeding a bunch of calves and needs any shelled corn. An other £ets the latest price on heavy hogs for Bill Simpson. Through the day she aids in calling a doflftor for Mrs. Moore, whose baby is ill. Puts through a long distance call foi Roberts, at the state college, through the ' night, stands ready to help those in need. < Constantly in bet mind and actL Ities is one guiding purpose “Speed the call!” And the further thought that she serves best when she serves with courtesy and sym pathetic under stand ing. In the buatle of As city, as In town and country, that is. the fixed purpose of every telephone employe. • i ■ Cotton to Tested > X. ,EN who use Royster’s Cot ton Fertilizer use it with confi dence.
