OUT IN THE CORN BELT.
The Telephone Means Much to the People on the Ranches of
 the West.

Some amusing stories of the uses to which the telephone is put in Iowa. says Worlds Work.
 One day a girl at central" received this message: Hello. Say, central. I have put the receiver of the phone in the baby,s cradle. and if she wakes up and cries call me up at No. 71."
 It must have been an unusually ab- sent minded woman who sent in the message: 70. central, Ring me up in IS minutes. so that I won't forget to take the bread out of the oven"
 If some one finds it necessary to take . night train. the operator at the ex- change will receive some such message as this: Central. ring me up half hour before the 2:17 train in the morn- ing. See if it's late before you call me. please"
 There are some 90 subscribers who are called regularly every morning by the telephone instead of by an alarm clock. The central girl is supposed to know the time of all the railway trains. and if a train happens to be late. how many minutes behind time. She is often asked for the time of day because some one has let the clock run down.
 Toward the end of a long. cold drive on a raw autumn day was met at the gate by farmer friend with the words: Come right in The wife has some hot coffee ready for you We knew you were coming Miss Rankin seen you gc by. and she has just telephoned to us
