That is the meaning of universal service. To provide it, the means of telephoning must be uniformly good. This company, for example, has full access to all the improvements and methods that are continually being made. There are 5000 workers on the Bell staffs whose sole occupation ILLINOIS BELL is to develop constantly improving methods and equipment for the 350,000 employees of the Bell Sys- tem to use in serving the public. The results of the efforts are evi- dent, not only in .the extension of telephone service across the Atlan- tic, but in the constantly improv- ing local and long distance service at home. The Bell System accepts its re- sponsibility for a nation-wide tele- phone service as a public trust.

But, although the endurance of horses and the skill of the riders were tested severely in many of the forty-five runs held this season, the year's record is creditable to a high degree to both. The Longmeadow Hunt has the simplest of hunt organizations, name- ly, the hunt is owned by the master and a few immediate friends and is supported entirely by voluntary sub- scriptions. All are welcome to ride and the field of riders is very democra- tic. Many farmers take a keen inter- est in the sport. Among north shore folk who ride regularly to hounds in the season or are interested in the sport as patrons or otherwise are the following: Martin Lindsay, Col. Albert E. Peirce, Ernest -S. Ballard, Donald F. McPherson, Mrs. Ernest S. Ballard, H. C. Alley, Peirce C. Ward, William G. Woolfolk, Ernest H. Hicks, Mrs. Donald F. McPherson, Francis P. But- ler, Mrs. Francis P.

The plans for 1929 include spring hunting when weather permits, in- struction at Longmeadow Hunt club in jumping and in the customs and eti- quet of the hunting field, and regular runs throughout the late summer and fall season. Hunting in Winnetka was inaugurated in 1923, and since then has gained steadily in popularity among those local sportsmen and sportswomen who ride.
