The local newspaper should be
found in every home. No child should
grow up ignorant who can be taught to
appreciate the home paper. 1t is said
to be the stepping stone OF intelli-
gence in all matters not to be learned
in books. Give your children a for
eign paper which contains not one
word about any person, place or
thing which they ever saw or perhaps
never heard of and how could you ex-
pect them to be interested? But let
them have the home paper and read
of people whom they meet and of
places where they are familiar and
soon an interest is awakened which
increases with every weekly arrival
of the local paper. Thus a habit of
reading is formed and those children
will read the papers all their lives and
become intelligent men and women, a
credit to their ancestors, strong in
the knowledge of the world as it is
today.

being that four parties are attached to
same line running to central, each
residence being called by its own in
dividual ring which differs from that

price OF telephone service down within
reach of everyone and large number
