Organizing Telephone Divisions.

Three Divisions of the pro-
posed Peoples Telephone I'm.
ion will begin loperation in
Monroe county by March +
one at Holiday and the other
at Goss. Fifty.nlne phones
will have connection with CEN
tral at Blades livery barn at
Holiday. Smith Jones is pres
ident of this Division; Judge
Adams vice president; John A.
Wilson secretary, and Jack
Akers, treasurer. Mr.. Jones
was at Goss, Tuesday, in the
interest of the movement. Ar.
rangements we're made for
switchboard accommodations
for the Division, which will be
organized next week. The Gran.
vile Division was organized
Monday.
The organization at Paris
was deferred until Saturday,
the 21st, the bad roads made it
impossible for many OF the
farmers to attend the meeting
held last Saturday,.
The success of the enterp rise
in other counties makes the
promoters sanguine that it will
be equally as popular and
economical in Monroe.-Pa
Appeal, The foregoing is re.
produced by request of several
farmers South of the city.
Their idea as near as we can
get 1t over the phone is: To
increase the use Of number of
phones among farmers and to
decrease price one half. To
them we say: You are wei.

Why7

AS an additional argument
they point to the appropria-
tions made 20 Porto Rico aud
the Philippines, thus: 1t is a
remarkable fact that the United
States Government has already
appropriated 81, 900, 200 to Porto
Rico for road building and an-
other 81, 100000 to the Philip
pine Islands; aud the Secretary
of War has just made an appeal
to Congress through the Presi-
dent of the United, who strong
ly indorses that appeal to have
50, 900, 900 appropriated for the
use of the Philippine govern
ment. New York Tribune.
The question may be we'll ask
ed: Why if the general govern
ment can find millions for
water ways, for public buildings
for Road Building in the Phil
ippineS and Porto Rico, why
not a few thousand for Roads
in Monroe County. If pushing
gets one, persistent pushing
will get a slice of the other.
