He talks of business alway, But not of sentiment. —Horace Seymour Keller, Egg View Notes OW LUDLUM is thinking rather seri- D ously of moving off to some other and bigger town, on account of his credit being so nearly run out in Egg View. Dow couldn't even get to hold a hat at a fight. The new bell for the schoolhouse arrived Monday and was given a genuine tryout yesterday afternoon, interrupting an impor- tant job of plowing being done at the time by Ote Gimber, whose horse in some way mistook the noise for a supper signal and immediately started to move briskly in the direction of the barn. Ratio Roundtree is spending most of his time these days proudly circulating the re- port that a nephew of his, who lives 'way in the East somewhere, is training hard, because he’s to receive a thousand dollars aweek this fall, traveling with a show as the leading man, and is to be supported by a strong company of well-known actors. Corny Paine walked up to Ratio in Quidd’s blacksmith shop Tuesday morning, while a crowd was there, and told Ratio in very pert language that a person ought to be able to support himself on that amount of money. While Truman Bilge was seeing a Polly- wog vaudeville play Friday, he met with quite an accident. A magician appeared on the stage, displayed a dollar and threw it into the air, which unexpected move forced Truman into looking up altogether too quickly to get out of laming his neck badly. Chet Lumley, who has been very grouchy about everything for the past six months, went into Bill Waite’s grocery Wednesday evening, approached the gents’ furnishing shelf, and bought a cheap suit of clothes, just to knock around in. Ambrose Crosslots says: ‘‘Some wimmin would sing it: ‘And a little dog shall lead them.’ Speakin’ of money, the more, the marryer.'" —Lestie Van Every.

There is chance in more things than Taces and lotteries, If a Giant Cut the Wires Suppose all telephones were silent, and that for forty-eight hours you could not even ‘call a telephone ex- change anywhere in the Bell System to ask what the trouble was! Imagine the confusion which would prevail—with personal visits and mes- sengers substituted for direct, instant communication; with sidewalks, street cars and elevators jammed; withevery old-fashioned means of communica- tion pressed into service and allof them combined unable to carry the load. The instant contact of merchantwith customer, of physician with patient, of friend with friend, would be severed; the business man and the housewife would lose the minutes and hours the telephone saves them. The economic loss would be incalculable. There would not be time enough to do the things we are accustomed to do, and social as well as business Such a condition is almost incon- ceivable. The Bell System has devel- oped telephone service to the high degree oi usefulness and made it so reliable that its availability is never questioned. It has connected cities, towns and the remotest places from coast to coast, and has taught the people the advantages of nation-wide telephone facilities. Plans are made, buildings built and businesses run with Bell Service taken for granted,and yet we have to imagine whatit would mean to beentirely with- out telephones before the great value of this ever-present service can really be appreciated.
