dustrial situation we fairly well ad~
'iusted for a proporton of working
girls And yet the telephone company
is sometimes so short of switchbpard
operators that the management
obliged to advertise and to enlist iii:
assistance of their women emnloyss to
find girls for vacant places. A 'siri

As a rule no girl over twenty is re-

Impossible to the majority of women
past the formative period of life. This
calls for a certain dexterity. an accu-

who, by virtue of exceptional intelii~

Imvs there are opportunities for ad-

chief operator and a number of super-
visors, one to every nine operators, and
these positions command good salar-
ies. They are all supplied from girls
who show ability at the switchboard
and are possessed oi strung charac-
ters and intelligent minds. Naturally
a sharp lookout is kept for promising
material and no girl who deserves it
ever misses promotion.
There are opportunities also for
good operators who are not qualified
for the highest positions. Every out-
side switchboard calls for an operator
trained in the central ofiice. and these
positions often pay larger salaries than
the central office girls receive. When-
ever an application for an operator
comes to the office the manager and
the chief operator consider the girls
whom they deem competent to fill the
position. The girl to whom they oii’er

they were very numerous. and up to
fifteen or twenty years ago, when the
portable sawmills began their destruc-
tive attacks upon the forests, which
for centuries had afforded ample pro
lectlon to bear and all kinds of native
game.
”Yet. " said the aged hunter his eyes
brightening and revealing some of
their old time enthusiasm. “only a few
days ago i saw the tracks of u hear,

linden-brush is coming up rapidly where
the timber was cut off and this fur-
nishes a first rate hiding place for

or seen in the thicket. We. could trap
them. of course. if it wasn't for the
silly law compelling us to place a
fence around three sides of our traps

it. is expected that the tobacco crop
in New England this year will exceed
in the product per acre that of any

The 1904 New England tobacco area
is approximately 16 000 acres if the
crop meets reasonable expectations its
value will exceed $5,000,000. The 1904
acreage is slightly smaller than that
of 1003. The broadleaf acreage. which
is confined principally to the vicinity
of Hartford. will be about the same
as last year, from 2.000 to 2.500 acres.
