An example Of tho village and rural ex-
change is New Augusta, Ind, with seventy
five subscribers. fifty Of whom are farmers.
the most distant heing about seven miles.
When single neighborhood line with few
instruments attached is desired, switch
board is not necessary. The Subscribers
signal each other direct by giving different
combinations of rings.
So easy has the organization Of rural
telephone systems become that 1t is safe
to predict that within very few years
the majority of the 100000 farmers said
to be yet unprovided with telephone service
will have followed the example Of their
more enterprising brethren and brought
themselves within touch OF civilization
II any community wishes to install a system,
no matter how limited. it has only to COM
municate with a reputable installation
firm to receive the fullest and the clearest
instructions as to how to 60 about it.
A favorite method of organizing Is for
the farmers to form partnerships or CO.
operative (mutuaD companies for the fur
nishing of service only to the locality in
which the subscribers live. Sometimes
the service is furnished by nearby telephone
exchanges running lines into the rural
districts.
In some places service cannot he given
by city companies In such case, the
farmers can form themselves into a COM

ming direct line from their switchboard
to that Of the nearest town or city exchange.
This Is called'the community system. the
heart of which is the small switchboard,
from which radiate in different directions
the lines to which the various subscribers,
telephones are attached.

descendants OF Digger women and early
California miners who, failing at gold hunt
! ing. took up ranching. There are wealthy
men among them who tour Europe and
buy works OF art to decorate their homes,
which stand on sites where once their
fathers grubbed up roots for breakfast.
1t Ia a peculiar fact that these full blooded
| and half breed families do not readily
take to the luxuries OF the white man in
some respects No matter how large and
sumptuously furnished their homes may
be, the bedrooms are always fitted out
with almost Spartan simplicity.
The men sleep on small hard oots, over
which sheepskins or blankets are spread.
No mattresses. sheets or spreads add to
their comfort.
An American who once spent a week al
the home Of ono OF these Digger ranchers
and wine growers says:
His home was supplied with every
civilized article of comfort and adornment.
The young rancher himself was n college
He could discuss literature as intelligently
as he could speak on cattle raising, and
his tastes were every bit a. refined at those
