taken out Saturday and some ol
them placed in residences that even
| ing. The balance were installed
Monday. The instruments for this
line are the latest pattern of phones
and are a decided improvement
over those now in use on othe
Benton lines. The advantage o
the new design over the old lies il
the fact that with the new phone.
one person can call another withou
alarming the central Office, or on'
can call central without ringing an,
other bell on the circuit. At pre-
sent, when a call is put in for cen
trail, all other bells on the circui
give the alarm, and any persot
mean enough to take down thei
,, receiver can listen to all that i

, rural phones now in use will be ez
changed for the newer and bette
