NSURAW.M.NCE--ALL COLBERT,KINDS - "AGENT ·INSURA'NCE.ALL KINDS - Phones 66 and 220 LPhones THE HUMAN SIDE OF A TELEPHONE OPERATOR, --o--- The personal or human element in business relations is being carefully considered nowadays, and as a result a better undrstanding is being arrived at. To b perfectly human is some thing broader and deeper than mere courtesy; failing in this fundamental there would be no co-operative suc cess between the employer and the employe. The public opinion concerning a telephone operator is usually that she is mechanical, although she is very much like anyone else when in con tact wish the rest of the human race. The public seldom praises her regard less of the efficient service she is rendering, but instead nag and growl throughout the day, not realizing that she is human. The thelephone operator is an ar. tist in her own right. She is a "weav er of speech," and sitting unseen, she brings the people together for needed communication. She is alert and ever ready with swift and willing hands to serve. With her expert ear she can tell the disposition of the mood of a subscriber from the tone of voice. How much brighter the day would be if everyone would keep in mind when using the telephone-remember the piece of humanity on the other end who says "Number Please?" When a considerate subscriber gives a word of commendation or praise and not insult, how it reaches the heart of an operator. What does the operator think of the public? Women are a merciful lot, operators are twice merciful. The work usually holds their loyalty for a number of years unless taken away by some change of affairs, and in niayy I ou ven q~~ptrimony does not St 'y and remember that oil try and remember that the telephone operator is human and is due some consideration.

IN MEMORIAM. --o- Sunday, July 18th, 1920, at 1:30 p. m., Mrs. Rebecca Alice Carr of blessed memory died at her home in Welsh, after many months of illness. She wjas born in 1849 to H. 0. and Eliza beth Syfert, in Allen County, Ohio. Her marriage to 0. S. Carr, deceased, January 24th, 1920, occured in 1867 In Ohio, when she was 18 years of age. In 1868 she and her husband moved to Shelby County, Ill., and lived there until 1898, when they moved to Welsh, t Louisiana. To this union were born t eleven children, all living but two I sons who died in infancy. Twenty-five grandchildren and two great grand children also survive. The nine children surviving are as follows: Mrs. A. C. Shipman, Ged, J La., Mrs. Laura Kooken, Miami, Arlz., 1 Mrs. Wm. Fear, Welsh, La., Mrs. M. E. C Morrill, Welsh, La., Mrs. Y. D. Mathes, I Houston, Texas, Miss Francis Carr, J Welsh, La., J. S. Carr, Welsh, La., G. R. Carr, Welsh, La., J. W. Carr, Welsh, La. Owing to the fact that Mrs. Cora I Mathes, one of the d aughters, and I her husband were up north at the E time of her mother's death, the funer- 1 al was delayed until Wednesday, the I 21st, at 10:00 o'clock a. m., in order I that Mrs. Mathes might attend. The ] service was held at the home and was I conducted by Rev. Ira L. Jordan, pas- I tor of the Welsh Baptist cuhrch. Af, I ter which the interment - was made I in Oaklawn cemetery. The home which has been bereft l of father and mother was often the , center for young people, where many I a happy and joyous occasion took i place. Mother Carr possessed a strik- I ing reserved nature, but notwithstand ing this she dominated an ever and 1 increasing interest both in her home i and children, and thechurch of which I she was a loyal and devoted member i the Christian church. In the 71 years she lived, about 50 of them were dedi- 1 cated to the Master and His service. a The following poem was found in her own Bible by her children afterls her death, the sentiment of' which l must have been the passion of her heart to adopt and live by: * " * "CLOSING THE DOOR." I have closed the door on doubt; I will go by what light Ican find, And hold up my hands and reach them out To the glimmer of God in the dark, and call; "I am Thine, though I grope and stum ble and fall. I serve; and Thy service is kind." I have closed the door on fear, He has lived with me far too long. If he were to break forth and reappear, I should lift my eyes and look at the sky, And sing aloud and run lightly by; He will never follow a song. I have closed the door on Gloom. His house has too narrow a view. I must seek for my soul a wider room, With windows to open and let in the sun, IAnd radiant lamps when the day is done, And the breeze of the world blowing through. May her loved ones who mourn her departure and absence find peace of mind and comfort of heart in the exercise of an unfaltering trust and loving obedience in Christ Jesus the Lord. LOOK OVER YOUR 010 BINDER NOW v --o b (F. M. Milliken in Crowley Signal) li Mr. Rice Farmer: J Have you looked over that binder A you left in that back field last fall f when you finished cutting rice? If not you had better haul it up to the barn, get it under the shade of a h tree and see just what repairs it will B need. Now you know it will need new b ,canvasses all around but there were 1E some pieces broken last year that you b tied up with wire till you finished W that crop, and now is a good time to if jack it up and clean out all the oil o holes so the parts will be lubricated for don't you remember how hard it was o pulling the ast two weeks, just because you were to busy to clean out the oil cups so as to let the oil hit all parts. tb Now seriously get at that binder 6 and go over it carefully and get it in running order before you are ready to go into the field. "You intend to get r a new machine this yeah and not fool C with the old one." Are you? I have c my doubts for two reasons: The banks fi advancing you are going to ask you if you really need a new one and they are going to insist you fix up the old one. If it is fixable and we'inar not be able to get all the new binders we need or think we need. If we will just take care of the bin ders from the time they are new we can easily prolong the life of them three years, and lots of binders are are condemned to the scrap pile when they have at least one or. two years more swork in them with just some re pairs. Some one will have,to use some old machines and it may be you so get it ready now. If the repairs cost$50. and you can get it to do the work you will be saving $225.00 and will save the bankers from having the pleasure of turning you down. There is a lot more I could tell you about this binder ibgsiness, but at least hope I have you thinking.

Barton, a represen tative of tile International Harvester Company is spending several days in this terri tory from his New Orleans headquar ters. M. Barton, in a statement to the. farmers of this section, says: Save the rice crop, M. Rice Farmer. Do you know that all rice binders available for distribution this season have been sold.? This being the case and there is no getting away from it, the only recourse you have is togo out in the back field and haul in last's binder; all it needs is repairing and a good oiling. Make up a list of repairs required, then go to your dearer and get them. If a friend said "how would you like to make a cotliti of hutndred ,ol lars to-day by investing $50." what would you say? You have the $200 or $250 in an old binder and can make it good by investing about $50.00 in repairs. Don't wait until the last minute and expect service, get busy now. -----0------ COSNER BROS.
