Intense heat, extreme cold, lightning, wind, sleet and snow are relentless enemies of "outside” telephone plant. The elements are continually warring against our poles and wires. Often an attack results in only the breaking of a single wire; occasionally the result is miles of broken poles and tangled wires. Sometimes the trouble is near headquarters; often it is far up on the wind swept mountains. Wherever and whatever it is, our repairmen, bravely defying the elements, hurry to the scene to make the needed repairs. Many a wreck caused by winter storms costs thousands of dollars to repair, and has caused our repairmen to suffer hardships almost unendurable. But the lines must be kept open. Telephone sendee must be as nearly con tinuous as it is humanly possible to make it.

The date this year, April 23, is almost three weeks later than in 1915. Easter was observed April 23 in 1848 and 1905, as it will be in the year 2000. In 1859, the occasion fell, on April 24, though the latest date in the ninetieth and twentieth centuries is April 25, celebrated in 1886 and to be observed on that day in 1943. The earliest date on which this great Christian festival day was observed in the two centuries was March 22, 1818. In 1915, the date was April 4, in 1913, March 23, and next year will be on April 8. Christians have never been at odds as to why Easter should be observed, but there has been some discussion as to the proper date, which is determined by the moon. The first Sunday after the full moon on or after the vernal equinox, March 21, is designated as Easter. If the full moon falls on a Sunday, Easter is the following Sunday. This year, the full moon occurs Tuesday, April 18, and Easter is necessarily the following Sunday. From the County Records Compiled Weekly by C. G. Elliott, Deputy County Clerk. Patent.

Jeffers, general superintendent of the Union Pacific railroad: “Weather conditions along our line seem to be particularly unfavorable to sheepmen and if I can be of any assistance in expediting the movement of feed or other material for sheepmen along our line will be glad to have you call on us.

And Along Came Ruth “Ruth, is there any way to keep flowers in vases without the water becoming foul in smell?” asked her cousin. “Why yes,” replied Ruth, “if you will put a lump of charcoal in the water it will keep it sweet for some time. But in warm rooms it is better to empty the vases, wash them thoroughly with warm water and borax, and refill every other day. This doubles the length of time that your flowers will remain fresh. You should also remember to strip the stems of all the lower leaves before putting them in water, while roses will last better if you slit the outer bark for an inch or two at the end. Soft stems should be cut slanting ways. So as to expose a larger cut surface to the water.” “You can always depend upon Ruth,” chimed in another cousin, “she is a walking encyclopedia of useful knowledge.” Learn a Little Every Day.

They are relics of a departed age, reminders of the era of the Saturday night bath, the old folks’ concerts, and the painted panoramas of the Nile. They abide now in our way corners, tarnished and forgotten, bands of old silver, often affectionately inscribed at the command of givers long since turned to dust. They are the sort of reminders of a gentler but less fastidious generation that we do not like to part with except for some good reason and have no desire to keep. The serial napkin went long ago. To the melting pot, by all means, with the rings, and that they may melt up into millions of dollars’ worth of silver is our sincere wish. Origin of Road Rules. The origin of the rule for pedestrians to keep to the right dates back to a period when such things as roads were unknown. Before the road was we knew it existed progress from place to place was accompanied by means of tracks or paths, used in common by mounted and footwayfarers. As in early days every traveler carried his life in his hands and saw in every approaching stranger a potential enemy, so the unarmed man either retreated from the path or was beaten from it by an enemy. advancing stranger, if the latter were armed. When two armed men met with shield on left arm and sword in right hand, they of necessity passed each other on the right, so as to bring shield to shield, thus completely sheltered, but with the sword arm ready to strike, if needed.—London Globe. Moving Picture Tricks. Some of the most thrilling scenes in the moving picture dramas are taken with the aid of small models, which are considerably less than life size. It is much cheaper, of course, to burn up a toy building or to sink a miniature ship than to destroy an original to make a moving picture holiday. The models used for this work are carried out with great attention to detail, and the pictures are taken with the camera very close to the ground to get the proper perspective. The moving picture audiences, even when paying the closest attention, are completely deceived. Fads and Fashions The new jumper effect is seen in everyday dress.
