THE TELEPHONE GIRL
I’he telephone girl sits still in
her chair
And listens to voices from
c\ erywhere.
Hears ail the go sip, hsars all
the lic^ws,
She is.11 ws Wkto is -happy, and
who has bhe blues.
She knows all our sorrows, she
knows all our joys,
She knows eve ’y gin who is
chasing bhe boys.
She knows lour sorrows, she
knows of our strife,
She knows every man who is
mean lo his wife.
She knows every time wc are
out. wibli bhe hoys,
She 'hears the excuses each one
cm ploys.
She knows every 'woman wiic
has a dark past,
She knows every man who’s
inclined to be fast;
!n fact, there’s a secret meat!
eacli saucy curl
Of that quite demure looking
telephone girl.
if the telephone girl would t?l:
all she knows
She wi; 11hi turn liafl oni
friends into bitterest foes;
She would sow a small 'wind
that would soon he a gate,
Engulf ii- in trouble an,] land
us in jail;
She would let go a story( whicl
gaining in force)
Would cause half .our wives to
sue for divorce;
She could .get all the ehurllie'
mixed up in a fight.
And fiiru every day into a sor
rowful night.
In fact, she could keep Hie
whole town in a stc.v
if she’d tel'l a tenth part of Hie
things that she knew,
ow doesn’t it make y nir very
head whirl

The Valdez Commoner has
no tears to shed for hungry
horses, having shed them all
for mankind. Wo rsad:
“This is a queer old 'world.
As we wajk down the main
street of Valdez we see on one
side a lot in which a score of
draft horses, wabbling fat, are
prancing and playing with each
other. It cost Uncle Sam
very nearly a dollar a day to
keep these handsome brutes.
Lint just across the street from
this corral of government fed
but idle horses is a score of ole
men, unfortunate prospectors,
some of whom are sick and
need medical care, but when
you ask Old Sam to grant them
a ft*;v dollars to relieve their
distress you are informed that
there are mo funds for such
purposes. Lots of money to
buy hoss feed, hut not a penny
o buy man food. Thousands
of dollars thrown (away for
oats, hut mot a cent with which
o buy bread. Money spent like
water for stable rent, but not a
sou to build a s/he Iter for man
’It’s a queer old world. By gosh,
is it any wonder there is ‘un
rest’?”

of "Price” Buying
To save money in purchasing is a duty eveiyone owes
to his business. "Price” buying, however, does not always
mean economy.
A few dollars "saved” in buying a typewriter may turn out to
be many dollars wasted and make an expense of what should
have been an investment.
jj The higher price paid for the
ij L. C. Smith & Bros. Typewriter
is paid for the greater amount of superior work it will turn out
and its greater durability.
You will be surprised to learn what a great difference there is 3
in typewriters. The cheapest is usually the most expensive.
