the Company's service. Again, the
young man who came to this country
over thirty years ago, penniless and
friendless, and who, during the first two
years, earned only $500, working beside
tank foul with the smell of oil &; but
to-day, there is scarcely a drop of oil
consumed in this country which has not
been purchased from his stupendous
organization, the Standard Oil Company.
In another walk of life, we see at the
head of a great college, a man who
chopped wood to pay his way through
school.
The great captains of industry of to-
day were the poor boys of thirty years
ago. 1t was not wealthy parent nor an
influential friend who started these men
on the road to fortune; they made their
own opportunities they foug ht their own
battles; they have won.
What is the secret of their success ?
What is that irresistible force which has
enabled them to overcome all obstacles,
to surpass their fellow-men? Every am
bilious young man is searching for this
secret. He believes that honesty, So
briefly, perseverance, and determination
are essentials in the foundation on which
to build a successful career, and yet he
realizes that he must possess something
more than these mere prerequisites if he
would achieve conspicuous success.
Those who have studied the lives of
successful men will tell you that they all
possessed a certain force of character
the power to mould the opinions and
direct the actions of others. John D.
Rockefeller has often said that he at
tributes his success largely to his ability
to influence and control the minds of
men. How to acquire that power is told
by Mr.. Edward Box in his Lecture, 'sKeys
to Success" the most inspiring address to
young men ever heard from an American
platform. Mr.. Box does not preach
theory; he gives good, sound, practical
advice. He tells young men Just how
they can develop those qualities indis-
pensable to success, and win both money
and power. Every word is suggestive
and inspiring.
The Publishers of this Lecture, John
D. Morris and Company, 1903 Chestnut
Street, Philadelphia, Pa, are DESTROYS
that every ambitious young man should
possess copy of "Keys to Success, -
and they will send, complimentary, a
complete copy of this Address to every
reader who will write for it, mentioning

De Rural Telephones Pay?

The marvellous progress that has
taken place in telephony of every
phase during the past few years has
been nowhere more remarkable than
in the rural districts. The sturdy
yeoman and his family has found it a
lOng-felt want, and are welcoming its
advent with reception as hearty as
it deserves.
The partnership formed by the
farmer and the telephone is one of
vast import to the commercial inter
ests Of the nation. 1t means a
quickened impetus to trade wherever
it's wires are found: it means better
homes; thriftier and more prosperous
farmers: a more intelligent and more
social people. The bringing into close
touch of both the business and social
sides of our urban and rural popula-
tion is destined to have a far-reaching
effect upon the future. Even the
goOd-roadS movement. which should
never die, and never will. is yet of
infinitely less Importance than the
telephone question.
Telephones spanning the space
between the country and the city,
and placing them in immediate COM
municat ion, renders unnecessary two
thirds of the trips that have hitherto
been made over country roads. This
fact alone, so Strikingly significant to
every farmer, who has experience with
muddy highways and stormy weather,
must answer at the very outset as to
whether rural telephones pay.
Coming down to facts and figures
which are always quite convincing in
their way, the estimated cost of
telephone lines per mile may be
figured very much as follows
following figures are for metallic line)
Wire, No. u iron, IS
Poles, %, 20 it,, at so cents each Is 90
Poles, s. 25 # at S100 each, (for crossings). 90
Brac kets and Glass insuators,. 90
Total, 80
Any farmer, by a glance at the
above table. will readily see that he
can, if he SO desires, furnish the
majority of the work himself, and by
buying the material through the
agency Of your nearest exchange, it
can be had at wholesale prices. The
system should be constructed under
the supervision of some pratical tele-
phone man, and will work satiSfactor-
lily for years. We defy any farmer to
tell us where he can make better
investment or one even as good. 1t
will repay him in the first few weeks
If he has stock or produce to sell, he
may more than make his money back
in a few days.
Ask any farmer throughout our
prosperous Central States who has a
good telephone in his home, ask him
what he thinks OF the proposition?
The telephone saves trips to the
merchant, the lawyer and the post
office, and last but not least, the
doctor. 1t posts It's patrons on the
news, and delivers the daily weather
predictions. 1t does ones visiting
while they remain at home; it is an
endless source of social delight and
business success; the writer not only
advises every farmer to enlist in this
movement. but urges all owners and
managers of exchanges in the country
to lend their hearty encouragement
and aid. Rural telephony is as yet in
it's infancy; although happy thousands
are already using the wires there yet
remains thousands to be convinced.
