Few people know this, and fewer still rt- j aiizc that many business transac tions can be carried on over the distance telephone with a saving of time that means many dollars gained. Speaking of the telephone as a business necessity, S. P. Officer, man of the Bozeman office, for the company, told of many ways the telephone can be used profitably by subscribers. "One has to but notice the many rural p on„ lines built each year, he sax . to realize the importance it bears to business.

(Continued from Pago One.) through the been greatly reduced present immigration laws. As a result the trades were not crowded as they were a few years ago. Mr. Hamill called attention to the statement of Theodore Roosevelt that there is no disgrace in being a good blacksmith or a member of any of the crafts. Bozeman was complimented for having many fine highly skilled craftsmen, and a tribute was paid by the speaker to Fred F. Willson as one of the best architects of the state. The slogan of the construe tion engineer, Mr, Hamill stated, ist Early to bed, early to rise, work like the dickens, and economize. Mr. Frank Wilton and Prof. J. A. U f) Woodard called attention to the needs of the Y. M. C. A. funds to continue work of the current year. They urged the people of Bozeman to give their support to the institution so that the good work it is doing might not stop. The members of the club will go in a body to church next Sunday evening to hear a special sermon upon Rotary by Rev. Robert B. Smith. This will be in keeping with the 17th anniversary program of the club. Leon Conkling gave a short talk upon Rotary, its aims and the objects, ideals and pre cepts of the organization. Responding to & call from the dis trict chairman, the new officers and directors of the club will send their picture to the Butte Miner for a spe cial edition of that paper devoted to Rotary, to be issjuk! on the birthday of the club. W.

How small is the cost compared with the great distance and the quickness of the service. A very important business deal could be transacted in quick time a-nd save eight days' wait longk'hich a letter would require to go and * y return. ft "Something many have overlooked, Mr. Officer said, "is the small cost one will be put to in calling relatives.

A ," Mr. Woodard stated, "of these 144 are women, 60 girls, 85 grade school and 58 high school stu dents. There are 28 young men and 128 business men. These are now receiving the benefits of the institu -1 tion and paying fees. There are 57 subscribers paying from $1 to $50 and there are 28 sustaining mem II bers. It requires about $30 per mem ber to maintain the institution, s that the service intended can be giv en to all who use the Y. M. C. A There should be at least 100 people in Bozeman who can give a small amount each toward the maintain ance of this important factor in the physical development of the young people of the city. At the presen time the budren is falling upon a few who appreciate the value of the Y. M C. A., while the many are not doing as much as can be done." The directors of the Y. M. C. A. are curtailing expenses in every possible manner so that the overhead cast can be kept to the minimum. These di rectors are all men of the city who are capable of directing the affairs of the institu tion in a thsrpughly proper manner. It will be a regrettable occurrence in this city should the Y. M.
