A telephone call is not fully "started" when th issues non
fcy the operator has been answered.
In repeating the number you ask for, she does so in order
that you may know whether she has understood rightly;
also that in hearing the number repeated you may correct
•ny transposition or miscalling of numerals made when the
number was first given by you.
It is very «sential that this repetition be listened for and
correction* made when required. The operator is trying
always to do her part; consideration of her effort and
readino* to cooperate are due her in return.

STRONG PATRIOTIC APPEAL TO
BE MADE TO EACH
INDIVIDUAL
Unique
Gleaners
(Spccial to the Derrick.)
Oklahoma City, April 1.—Never has
so strong and far-reaching a patriotic
appeal been made to the people of
Oklahoma as will be made in con-
necton with the third Liberty loan
drive, which will open in this state
on April 6, under the direction of J.
H. Gordon of McAlester, state chair-
man. Splendid speakers will deliver
patriotic addresses, the county war
workers' organizations have been per-
fected ho as to reach every individual.
There is not a district of the state
which will not be thoroughly covered.
Prominent Speakers
The list of speakers will be the best
ever known in the state. It is ex-
pected to include men of national
prominence, such as Senator Robert
L. Owen, ex-President Taft, Douglas
Fairbanks and Charlie Chaplin, known
to every "movie" patron, Lieut. K. F.
Nance and Sergeant Edward Edwards,
both fresh from the trenches; Miss
Dorothy Frooks, aviatrix, once a so-
riety girl, now an ardent war worker;
Dr. L. H. Knight, who has represented
the Y. M. C. A. in the front trenches;
a number of French, Canadian an J
English officers, and in addition more
than one hundred of the leading men
and best speakers of Oklahoma. These
men being booked by State Director
of Speakers Chester H. Westfall. They
will bring home the issues of the
war, make plain the necessity of sup-
porting the loan and arouse a spirit
of enthusiastic patriotism which will
insure that Oklahoma will do more
than her part. A few of them will be
available on April 6, several have al-
ready toured the state and others
will be available later in the cam-
paign.
County Organizations
During the ast few weeks splendid
work has been done in perfecting the
organizations of the county councils.
Letters were sent by the State Coun-
cil of Defense to every county coun-
cil asking them to exterfd their work
so that there would be an organiza-
tion in every school district The
response was patriotic and inspiring.
Word has been received from nearly
every county in the state to the ef-
fect that the school district organiza-
tions are now in working order. In
this way practically every individual
in the state can be reached.
This far-reaching machinery has
been placed at the dispusal of the
managers of the third Liberty loan.
The efficient work which can be done
is evident. This same organization
will later be available for other war
activities. Oklahoma is one of the
first states in the union to develop
this school district organization, which
now has a total membership of more
than seven hundred thousand.

(By Associated Press.)
London, March 15.—1 Correspond-
ence of the Associated Press.)—
There was a stir in the house of com-
mons the other day when the prime
; minister, David Lloyd George, sud-
denly appeared on the floor just be-
fore the close with an important look-
! ing document in his hand. Instantly
members began to speculate ay to
what might be the subject of the an-
; nouncement he was to make.
The premier started talking confi-
dentially with one of the under-war
ministers as soon as he had taken his
seat on the treasury bench, and it was
immediately inferred by observers
that the subject was military, possibly
the military situation in Ireland or
some development on the fighting
fronts. Other members noticed that
Mr. Lloyd George was in good spirits
and began whispering about the like-
lihood of a great victory somewhere,
or perhaps good news from the Irish
convention.
Then the prime minister arose. His
message was a signed document from
the king, asking the authorization of
parliament for a grant of $125,000 to
Lady Maude, the widow of Gene -al
Frederick Stanley Maude, who com-
manded the British expedition that
captured Kut and Bagdad. The gen-
eral, after a wonderful career of vic-
tory, died a poor man, leaving hardly
more than enough to pay his funeral
expenses. The king's request was re-
ferred to its proper committee and it
si expected that the grant will, in due
course, be made.
The habit of recognizing great vic-
tories by public grants of money is an
old one in England, and most of the
great British soldiers of the old wars
benefitted by it.
Wellington received three different
Swift & Company
Publicity
At a recent hearing of the Federal Trade Commission there
was introduced correspondence taken from the private nles 01
Swift & Company,which showed that the Company had been con-
sidering for some time an educational advertising campaign.
The need for this publicity has been apparent to us for sev-
eral years. The gross misrepresentation to which we have
recently been subjected has convinced us that we should no longer
delay in putting before the public the basic facts of our business,
relying on the fair-mindedness of the American people.
The feeling against the American packer is based largely on
the belief that the income and well-being of the producer and
consumer are adversely affected by the packers' operations,
resulting in unreasonably large profits.
Swift & Company's net profit is reasonable, and represents
an insignificant factor in the cost of living.
For the fiscal year 1917 the total sales and net profit of Swift
& Company were as follows:
Sale*
$875,000,000.
Profit!
$34,650,000. i
This is equivalent to a $3,465. profit on a business of $87,500.
If Swift & Company had made no profit at all, the cattle raiser
would have received only one-eighth of a cent per pound more for his
cattle, or the consumer would have saved only one-quarter of a cent per
pound on dressed beef.
