She deals with so many different retailers, some of whom, like the grocer,must be called every day—others, like the rug cleaner, who are only needed occasionally. Social affairs must he arranged largely by telephone, for even in this day of many household conveniences, considerable of the housewife’s time is spent at home. The value of telephone service is generally recognized. It saves timet money — gives comfort and convenience to every member of the family. And—telephone service is low in cost. So low, in fact, that you really can’t afford to do without it. To arrange for your tele phone, just get in touch with the telephone business office. / Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Co.

At the National Championship Field Trial at Grand Junction, Tenn., Flirt provecLJier mettle. Speed, range, bird finds—Flirt had everything! One perfect creature in whom Nature put that delicate, natural balance of all the elements that make a cham pion. The champion Flirt is Nature at her best—one of Nature’s rarest masterpieces. She looks like other dogs—four legs, a head, a body, a tail, but she’s not just a dog. She s a proud and proven champion—a champion in the field. Another dog may look a little like her—hut he’s still just a dog. And here’s another field champion, Natural Chilean Nitrate another one of Nature’s rarest masterpieces. Like the champion pointer, Natural Chilean has that proud and priceless gift—something over and beyond mere nitrogen—natural balance of the many fertilirer elements—the vital impurities— the Natural blend and balance that make a champion* That’s the vital spark. That’s why “Flirt” isn’t just a dog. That s why Natural Chilean isn’t just a fertilizer. Natural Chilean contains almost tiao score of major ana minor elements such as boron, magnesium, manga nese, iodine, calcium, (wtussium, etc.—each a vital ele ment m growth and healthy development of plants. aiuial EAN NITRATE or SODA ■J WITH VITAL IMPURITIES IN NATURE'S OWN BALANCE AND BLEND Triple “C” News Notes k The Dance.
