THE STANDARD TELEPHONE co.

improvements now under way,
and everything will soon be in per-
feet working order. The Stand
ard (Citizens) )fTelephone company
has received part Of it's new ma
terlal and equipments necessary
to put the local exchange In first
class condition, and the remainder
will be in Logan the latter part of
the week. Under the management
of Major Sam Britton, an old (c!e-
phone campaigner, force of hIt-
men and diggers, six of whom are
from Logan, are at work now,
putting things in shape. The
poles for the line to the County
Infirmary have been distributed
and will be set next week, giving
telephone communication to that
important point.
The Bell Telephone company in
their article last week, appealing
to the people of Logan for their
support, stated that they had
withheld competing with the
Standard Company in Logan be-
cause the Standard company had
given "fairly good service"
Seyen years ago the Bell comp
any sent solicitors to Logan with
$4,000 rate for residences and
$4,000 for business houses. AL
though they considered the rate
excessive, quite large number of
contracts were secured among Lo-
gan business men and residents
and the Bell people departed,
promising an exchange in Logan
in ninety days. They failed to
keep the promise. Two years
later representatives of Bell comp
any again appeared in Logan with
a $4,000 and $4,000 rate. Fully
aware that such rates were entire
ly too high many OF the Logan
people again signed up, and were
again disappointed in the matter
of Bell Telephone exchange.
In their article of last week the
Bell Telephone people claimed that
they are ''purveyors of telephone
services of the highest type"
If party line service with from
two to ten persons on a line, is
service of the highest type, then
they certainly haYe the goods.
If the Bell Telephone service is so
superior, as claimed by them, why
is it that the Independent Tele-
phone lines have superseded the
Bell in so many towns and cities
all over the country, especially in
the towns and villages adjacent
to Logan. In Cleveland, Colum-
bus, Toledo, Mt. Vernon, Zanes-
vile, Newark, Lancaster and 9TH
er Ohio points, too numerous to
mention when the Bell company
had been in operation, as a mono
poly for many years, they have
now but a moiety of the telephone
patronage, since the Independent
people have been doing business.
The Bell people in their article
last week also referred to their
long distant service. Well, the
people of Logan have had the OPP
portunity for some years testing
both the Bell and the United
States long distance service and
they can judge which is the most
satisfactory.
If the Bell local service is to be
on a par with their long-distance
service, the Logan public know
just what they are going up
against.
AS its name implies, the United
States Telephone Company gives
services all over the United States
and gives the best telephone
service on earth. The Bell local
service is "a party-line service
everywhere. Even in the large
cities it is mainly party-line. Are

line service here? Their contracts
are printed to read "party-line
service"
The Bell people said in their
article last week, "The Standard
(Citizens) Company again prom
ises rejuvination of their plant.
That is an old story"
Well, the plant is being rejuvi-
mated, as promised, and, the people
of Logan see the evidences of such
rejuvination on every hand; poles,
wire, cross-arms, and men at work.
The Bell people say, "They (the
Stardard Company are in an
especial rush to improve their
plant, now"
The Bell Telephone Company
had twenty years in which to give
Logan a Telephone Exchange, and
had no competition for fifteen
years, but they did not do it.
When they run their toll line
through Logan few years ago
they refused Che people of Logan
telephone service other than
toll station. Why are they so
anxious just now? Most of the
telephone battles in the past, have
been the endeavor of the Indepen-
dent Companies against the Bell
monopoly, but in this instance it
is the Bell fighting the Indepen-
dent (Standard) Company to get
inte Logan, where they had an
open field for many years, and
absolutely no competition.
The Bell Telephone Company,
as the people of Logan now know,
is prolific in promises, but the
writer is from Missouri and "they
must show me-.

Rubber Cultivation.

A new industry in the Republic Of
Guatemala, in Central America, is the
cultivation of the rubber tree, says tie
Electrical Review. The export of tie
product from that country is a growth
entirely of the last few years, but it
seems likely that in future a large sup
ply of rubber from the coast districts
of this republic will be forthcoming.
Good rubber is as yet only obtainable
ina few parts Of the world, and the in
in a few parts of the world, and the in
creasing demand for it in all branch
es of the manufacturing industries, and
especially the electrical business,
makes it imperative that new fields
should be opened up for the cultiVa-
ton of the plant The method usually
followed by planter is this: He
plants a grove of, say, 100000 plants,
which at the end of five years yields a
certain amOunt-say, one-third OF
what fully matured trees should yield
At the end of the fifth year he thins
the plants down to about half that
number, or $4,000. On these $4,000
trees, a handsome sum is realized
which entirely repays the original out
lay. the running expenses being paiC
by the cultivation of some such frui
as The banana, thus leaving the plant
ar at the end Of five years with all hi
outlay paid and a grove in his posses
sion yielding an increasing produc
every year
