Telephone I <Sss*a£^ Achievement Thirty-six years of development have built the splendid nation-wide system of today connecting over 7,500,000 Bell Telephones in more than 75,000 places. This success is the result of the establishment and maintenance of the highest standmen, methods and apparatus; it is the result of having always in mind a broad purpose — that of establishing a great telephone system to cover this broad land and } bring the benefits of universal communication to every community j

But this achievement is not solely to be credited to the Bell Telephone itself. The American people who make over 25,000,000 calls a day, are the great factor in Hie constant upbuilding of the Bell System, and today there is one Bell Telephone to every thirteen people.

AD Una**BLACKSMITH SENATOR SENATOR WHEATON IN UNIQUE PLACE— CAPE MAY LEGISLATOR IS PROBABLY FIRST BLACKSMITH TO HOLD THAT OFFICE IN THIS STATE. Senator Harry C. Whcaton, of Cape May County is the only blacksmith in . the present Senate. He is the first blacksmith to occupy a seat in the Senale since the days of Senator Packer, of i Gloucester. Cape May County did not have a i very dear conception of what a Democrat looked like until somebody die ] covered Wheaton and nominated him 1 for Senator the same year that President Wilson ran for Governor. Some of I the people in Cape May think Wheaton pulled Wilson through, but others in 1 different parts of the State are liberal 1 enough to think that Wilson put Wheat-

At any rate Wheaton won out. He made a campaign that was one of the i 1 features of the election. He left his ♦ forge and with his blacksmith's apron still hanging from him he would mount \ - a cart and make an appeal for votes, c ' And Wheaton can appeal. He makes - one of those homely talks that is hard I 1 to resist and President Wilson himself, p took a lot of pleasure campaigning in Cape May with the Senate nominee.' t Since he !i«« been in the Senate, Mr. Wheaton has made this faculty to de- h liver an earnest talk of great use. It n will be remembered that last year he told the Senators that if he accom- t . plished nothing else in his legislative , career he wanted the new parole law, b . making the Keeper, Spiritual Advisor t t and Prison Physician, a board af parole, passed. He made an earnest, personal d appeal and the law went through. g, Senator Wheaton was born November a 23. 1857, and is the mayor of North Wildwood. — Trenton Evening Times. f o s Don't trust to luca — put your money where It will be absolutely secure.
