Sometimes it's the job of calling up the right buyers, the right markets to get the right prices— or making it easy for customers to order direct. Other times the telephone is called upon to bring swift aid when parts or repairs are needed. And it cm fetch help in a hurry—in unfortunate emergencies, like sickness, accidents, fire, theft. Read below how telephone service is giving these farmers satisfaction: WILLIAM F. TIMMERMAN, dairyman at Manheim Center, says this about his telephone: \It's handy to get a veterinarian when a cow or horse gets sick; it's handy when I need to order feed from Little Falls and it's especially handy to find buyers wfeen I have extra calves or cows to sell.\ ISRAEL T. DEYO, a partner of DEYO BROS., pro- ducers of Certified Milk, Binghamton, N. Y., R. D. No. 5, says: \In our business the telephone is indis- , pensable. We retail our product from the farm direct to the customer in Binghamton and Johnson City. Orders are taken by 'phone. In addition, the telephone recently saved our main plant from destruction by fire. Our superintendent called the Fire Department at Johnson City, two and a half miles away, which arrived just in time.\ ';: JOSEPH O'HARA, well-known poultryman on the Middleville Road out of little Falls, hatches 60,000 eggs annually. MR. O'HARA says his telephone is absolutely essential for the profitable operation of this part of his poultry enterprise. About 25 % of the baBy chick sales are direct sales over the telephone or result from inquiries over the telephone. Seventy-five per cent of the eggs from his 2,000 winter layers are sold over the telephone. \Often the profits on several sales over the telephone equal the cost of the telephone service for that month,\ MR. O'HARA says. • * • Perhaps a telephone would help you too in a business way. And it would be a wonderful thing for the women folks. So why not look in at the Telephone Office next time you're around? There's no obligation, \arid our folks there will be glad to talk | with you about having a telephone.

H. McELROY, Man ager-Secretary RELIEF WORI HALTED AT TOWN BOARD MEET As an economy measure, all wttrfe in Fort Oretagton came to * halt la<*t week. The glmtklown catte limned lately, frifcer .a ^owm Board meeting at which the prot>l«oas confronting the trnvn^were discussed and a decision was reached to quit work. Board anem- bers pointed out that the stun of $3600 has already been spent by-the town for relief .purposes this year and that this amount Is in excess of expendi- tures of former years. Construction of both TRRA and town road \ftork ate therefore &t a standstill doe to Insuf- ficient funds and there are no \plans for further work this year. Although insufficient funds te the major reason for Quitting operations behind the scenes, there appears to be lesser agencies at work to halt the re- lief jofts. No official reports hare been received but notably among these cau- ses is the dissatisfaction in the mind« of some of tl>e relief 'workers themsel- ves and 1ot»-seekers. The quotas of the jobs \were filled to overflowing 1 num- bers; more wanted >work; a few of Communistic trends &ad to have the money or starve and didn't want to -work. Sucli are the factors entering into the causes. iSome squandered their money after they got it. * failing to provide for their families, the prim- ary purpose of the work. Ctfow those who must have help will be given their apportionment of TEHL4. food supplies and -weekly* orders, which will amount to, considerable less^than ifO.tff). the sum they have been getting for a 5M hour work r *veek, being paid ai\ the rate of 40c per hour. T'nmiestionably, there are many men •who have been employer! on the TBRA who hare made an honest endeavor to fir> thpir best and to carry ont the pro- visions of the TBRiA regulations to the letter. ,Some people feel these men should be given consideration and the •work continued on these baSPS, believ- ing, that- at least sorw work ( would be accomnllsned for the funds spent and th^t the men and town both would ben efit' by• their not being on the home re- lief rolls or in other words • receiving actual handouts. i?
