Were you erer called to the telephone when another
number was wanted?
When this occurs, the operator, to be rare, may hare
humanly «rred by ringing oa the Wrong line. More often,
however, it is the fault
the person making the call
People often ask for 456, for example, when 546 is
wanted and then either "hang tip" when the mistake is
realized or become impatient when the wrong person
answers.
Unfsmftvirity with the work of telephone operating
often prompts unjust criticism. Please don't forget the
earnestness of the operator's effort when some occasional
2service difficulty does arise.

Investing Those Coupons.
Davenport Democrat: The first
coupon on your second Liberty bond
is as good as cash today. When you
take it to the bank, exchange it for
Thrift stamps or War Savings
stamps, and you'll be piling up your
savings as well as performing a pa
triotic duty.
The War Savings stamp is the
finest investment of money in small
sums that you can possibly make.
Those who are putting them away
for the /children are providing for
education, for larger earning power,
tor a bigger chance in life.
There ought to be a boom in the
sale of War Savings stamps every
time couponns on the Liberty loans
are cashed.
Tiresome.

deals with the public occasionally

steps Mayor Ed S. Lofton ha taken

The mayor today issued a request
that persons who have made a prao

curbs and then sitting in them to view
the marchers, refrain from doing so
on occasion.
"Persons who are not in cars have
little chance to see a parade when au

the parade like any pedestrian and a
lot of discomfort will be eliminated.
It wouldn't be so bad if car owners
would get out of th.eir cars, but they
don't. Country people are offenders in
this matter as well as city drivers.
So park your car on a side street
tonight and watch the parade from
the side lines like an everyday walker,
the mayor requests.
Ahn, don't run a car up and down
