Telephoning Saves Mora.
Than Dollars and Cents
By telephone you waste no time, no
energy, and avoid tiresome trips.
Telephoning is the pleasant, the convenient
and the economical way to travel, whether for
a short distance or for hundreds of miles.
Suppose you compare long distance telephone
rates with the railroad fare to any town, and
add the cost of lost time and wasted energy in
making the trip.
" Then, it's very likely you'll decide in favor
of the telephone.

Jules Verne would hHVe gasped with
astonishment hail he ben a guest nt the
luncheon given by the lllectrlc club r
ccntly nt the Hotrt Sherman. An
electric manikin, which n'.must exceeds
In reality the 'wildest dreams nf the
famous author, was the "guest" who
created the surprise.
"He" was exMblted under the auspices
of the Western Electric and Common
wealth Edison companies. The manikin
could do everything except walk, develop
hunger and a thirst and sleep. It talked
clearly and distinctly and accompanied
Its speech with appropriate gestures.
Speech Is accomplished not by a phono
graphic attachment but by electric vibra
tions of tin plates romewhero wKhln Its
Interior
Members of the club speculated on
scenes to come provided the country
should become thickly populated with
such mechanical orators.
The manikin, fan the Inventor explained,
could give nn1mltatlon of any human
being. For Instance, William Jennings
nryan might employ a small army of
them, Inculcate, them with his policies
and silver-tongued orations and set tWm
loose on a helpless public during the next
democratic camphlgn. The bally-hoo nt
the side show might fine one Indispens
able when his fog horn voice gives way
and his vocabulary Is exhausted.
Tho housewife might give ont to
"hubby" to carry with him during the
day to remind him to mall "that" letter.
Preachers when 111 could send one Into
the pulpit to preach. One might be em
ployed to fire the cook, stand off the gas
man or outftrguo bill collectors. They
might even be used by youthful swains
to "pop" the question and then to obtain
"father's" consent without running u
physical risk.
In other words, this- manikin promls"
to become, a real citizen in any en
deavors where the tongue Is required tc

Water Board Will
Not Repair Main;
Users Must Do It
"Not In a thousand years." was the
reply received over tho telephone from
the Water board yesterday, when for
the second time J. I. McClung called
up to ask whether it would fix the
broken main In the street In front of his
house at SOW Munderson street. Tho
muln -extends from 'Thirtieth to Thirty
first on Mundorson street. It was dis
covered to he broken Kunday morning.
Water has been spouting out of a hole
in the streeet since that time. An em
ploye of the Water board was sent out
Uunday when the neighbors complained
of the leuk. The employe told the dozen
families on tho main that the board
would not and could not fix the main as it
! was n private main laid by a real estate
man who built tho row of houses for
sale on the south side of the street.
J. K. Musgrave built the houses about
private main, and since the city has had
control of the water plant, It has regu
larly collected Its monthly water rent
furnished through this ""private main.
The break In tho main Is in front of
McCIung's home. P. K. Stanton, 3029
Manderson, I1'. M. Barr, 3025 Manderson.
Carl Peterson, 3014 Manderson, and a
number of others are without water to
duy on account of the leak.
When McClung reported the leak to the
Water board he was told the board would
not fix tho main, and was also told that
If tho people getttlng wator from that
main did not themselves fix It before
Monday evening the board would shut
off the water,
McClung and Stanton had tho wires
busy until they satisfied themselves that
tho board would do nothing for them
whereupon McClung called up a plumber
on his own responsibility and got htm to
go to work on the leak, The patrons of
that inuln say tho only thing they see
left fur them tu do Is to chip in and fix
their own muln.
