A meeting of the Lincoln, Madison

were present. The main object and
talked about subject was the establish
ment of farmers telephone central
in Ridgeway. After the subject had
been thoroughly talked over, it was
put to vote of the house, which
voted unanimously in favor of estab-
fishing a central here. The Northern
Iowa Telephone Co. will, we under
stand, connect here with the farmer
lines. 1t is expected that nice
switchboard will be put in, and that
the town people will be given all the
benefits of an up to date exchange
which will include night and day SER
vice. The merging of these lines is
what has long been needed, as hereto
fore if you wanted to talk to three or
four different parties, it was necessary
to go to as many different places to
talk. Active work ON the new central
will be commenced early in the spring

HOME LIFE.

There is no subject of greater import ance than that of home and home life Almost everything of interest to the in dividual, to the nation and to the world is bound up in home life. says Woman s Life. If the home life of a nation is vicious or not what 1t should be, the nation can never rise to an exalted po- sition. Home for many people is simply a place where the father, mother and children can enjoy themselves better than any other place on earth. The attractive feature of most homes is that there is no formality, no stiffness, no forms of etiquette to interfere with comfort.
