Talking by Telephone from New York to San Francisco Is Now
an Accomplished Fact.
FTAHR latest and great**! triumph in the art of
I telephony la ■ transcontinental telephone **rvic*.
, the equal of which i* not *v*n approached in all
the other nation* of the world. Within a short time it
will be open for public us*.
This splendid scientific achievement Is tb* product
of American brains, American initiative and American
scientific and technical skill. The human voice has
bean made to travel as last as light over a distance of
3,400 miles and ia reproduced perfectly and instantly
across the continent.
This work was planned and completed by the
Espl.'Mantel and Research Department of tha Ball
System which conaista of the American Telephone and
^Telegraph Company and Associated and Connecting
Companies, giving universal service la >00,000,000
With no traditions to follow and no experience to
guide, thia department which is now directed by a staff
of over 330 engineers and scientists, including former
professors, post graduate students, scientific investiga-
tors—the graduates of MO universities—.has created an
entirely new art—the art of teleph^y, and has given
to the people of thia country a telephone Service that
has no equal anywhere in the world.
It baa required vast expenditures of money and
immense concentration of effort, but these have been
Justified by raeulta of immeasurable benefit to the
public. Tha transcontinental telephone line, 3,-100
miles long. Joining the Atlantic and Pacific, is part of
tha Ball System of 21,000,000 miles of wire connecting
9,000,000 telephone stations located every where through-

essary for Sanitary or agricultural
purposes and will not be conducive to

STOCK MARKET LETTER
Kansas City Stock Yards, Feb. 8,
1915. Cattle trade showed some Im-
provement late last week, except on
stockers and feeders, which suffered
severely from the Kansas sanitary
situation. The fact that the Kansas
cases of foot and mouth disease seem
to be safely confined within the quar-
antined district, and that only one
new case has come to the surface
since the original outbreak, is tending
to spread confidence. Shipments of
stocker and feeding cattle are not^
permitted to Kansas in cases where
the cattle can be traced as originat-
ing in clean territory, otherwise tha
quarantine Is strict. Missouri, Iowa,
and Nebraska receive stockers and
feeders from here without restriction.
Tlie supply today is 8000 cattle, mar-
ket. steady to 15 higher than last
week. Sales under $7.50 Including
butcher grades, got the advance, buy-
ers moving slowly when asking price
was above $7.50. Some butcher heif-
ers sold at $7.05 and $7.25 that were
like heifers last week at $7. or less.
Light weight short fed steers at $7
to $7.50 brought a little more than las
week's values. While the market was
some Improvement over last week, it
was still a disappointment to most
sellers. Runs were moderate at all
points, but were composed largely of
killing grades, both here and at Chi-
cago. Tiie market situation changes
so often, and is subject to so many
active Influences that commission
men hesitate lo give advice to ship-
pers, although their suggestions at
tho closo Inst week favored staying
off tho market with cattle for the
present, unless there were urgent
reasons for selling. Hogs sold five
to ten higher on the early market, to
stiippers, top $0.90. Packers bids
were steady, and bulk of sales ranged
from $0.70 to $0.85. Cheap hogs are
blamed for a portion of the depres-
sion in cattle prices, hut on the other
hand, the good demand for pork, re-
sulting from its cheapness, makes out
lot tor more hogs at prevailing
prices. Cold weather makes it pos-
sible for much hog killing to be done
at home, hut that, works in two waya
cutting down both supply and de-
mand.
DEATH OF WILLIAM FRY
