Bids are shortly to be opened by the cities of Fullerton and Orange thorpe on a contract to pave a strip "Rush Hours" In all lines of business patronage is irregular. Street cars, stores, banks and restaurants have their "rush hours" when some delays in service are unavoidable. The public, with the situation before its eyes, good naturedly accepts a degree of inconvenience. There are "rush hours" in a telephone exchange. With business service the "loads" of telephone traffic are determined by commercial activities, banking hours, etc.—the "load" of the residence telephone ring with household and social needs. There are "rush hours" in a telephone exchange. With business service the "loads" of telephone traffic are determined by commercial activities, banking hours, etc.—the "load" of the residence telephone varies with household and social needs. The demands upon the telephone operator and a complicated mechanical equipment cannot be seen, but telephone traffic varies in every hour of every day according to the individual desires of thousands of patrons. If there should be at times a delay in answering your call, remember that trained young women with nimble fingers are doing their best to serve you, and that at the moment there may be a "rush" of telephone traffic. The exercise of patience and consideration will mean better service. Wick's Used Car Week Special Prices on Used Cars for this week. Low Prices talk. Come in, look them over, ride in them.

PLUGGING OUT A Kentucky man seems to have found a relative of the city girl who thought it must be cold work harvesting the winter wheat. The young woman of whom the Kentuckian tells is a native of Cincinnati, and was lately talking with him about tobacco and tobacco raising. "I should like ever so much to see a tobacco field," she said, "especially when it is just plugging out." Are High Taxes Eating Up Your Income?
