Our list of "held orders" for telephone service in the Mountain States territory increased by about 3000 each month for almost two years, and during the past month reached a peak of more than 66,000. Today that figure is somewhat lower, and we expect by the end of this year to reduce the total by about 18,000, as the flow of telephone instruments from Western Electric increases in volume. There is still a 'Tong row to hoe" before we can install service for everyone who wants It when he wants It but it may be reassuring to know that every machine in West Electric which can turn out telephone equipment is now going full speed. The greater portion of our unfilled orders are being held for telephone instruments, and these are going to be in stalled as fast as humanly possible when we receive them from the factories. In those places where we must have new switchboards, new cable or new buildings it will take longer—in some cases quite a little longer—before everyone who wants service can have it ©rn Clearing the waiting list is number one poet-war bust with us however, and no effort will be spared to make ness the waiting period as short as possible.

Extra light draft. Flows any depth from 1 to 10 inches. Self sharpen ing points. No side draft. Nothing to grease. Plows all types of land without adjustments. Cuts plowing costs in half. This type work has been tested and proved to be scientifically right and superior to other types of plowing. Rain penetrates top soil by means of chisel furrows 12 inches apart, storing water in the subsoil. Small 6 inch terraces every 12 inches hold heavy rains—prevent wind or water erosion. Leaves vegetation on surface furnishing shade to prevent evaporation. Promotes healthy growth of bacteria undisturbed in small ridges between chisels. Maintains porous soil and places rubble on top, thus preventing blowing. ÂU Lengths Mow Available j Now In Stock for Immediate Sale By STENBAKKEN IMPLEMENT CO. Nashua, Montana FRAZER By Mrs. J. W.
