It is a good thing to get your blood all curdled up by such a book now and then. * * * Chimstornen Mortey has so many sweet humors that I wish he would not persist in his habit of wading out up to his neck whether there is any water in the pond or not.

He lived an independent life, producing on the farm practically all that his family ate and wore. Emergencies—sickness and fire and pro- tection of his homestead from prowlers—he met for himself. Later he had neighbors, one five and another eight miles away. Some- times he helped them with their planting and harvesting, and they helped him in turn. Produce was marketed in the town, twenty | miles along the cart-road, Today Ephraim Crosby's grandchildren still live in the home- stead, farming its many acres. The next house is a good mile away. But the Crosbys of today are not isolated. They neighbor with a nation. They buy and sell in the far city as well as in the county-seat. They have at their call the assistance and services of men in Chicago or New Yorl:, as well as men on the next farm. Stretching from the Crosbys’ farm living-room are telephone wires that lead to every part of the nation. Though they live in the distant countryside, the Crosbys enjoy the benefits of national telephone service as wholly as does the city dweller. The plan and organization of the Bell System has extended the facilities of the telephone to all types of people. By producing a telephone service superior to any in the world at a cost within the reach of | all to pay, the Bell System has made America a nation of neighbors. SFE.
