WIRELESS AvERTs DISASTER.

The steamer Kaiser Wilhelm II
about two weeks ago left Cherbourg
with the avowed intention Of breaking
the transatlantic record. After q days
run at high speed she, got into wire
less communication with an eastbound
steamer. which informed her that
heavy and numerous icebergs had
been encountered on the steamers
route. Speed was at once reduced,
passed through the ice field with
larger and thicker ice than is often
seen in that latitude. Her captain
says frankly that If it had not been
for the wireless warning he would
have continued at high speed and It
would have been little short Of
miracle if the steamer had gone
through the ice field at night without 17,l
disaster Whether the full possipili-
ties of wireless telegraphy have been
demonstrated or not may be an open
question. But when It has in single
case been the means of saving nun
dreds of lives no one can doubt its

The telephone is one of the greatest
blessings ever presented to mankind
by the hand of genius. It's value to
residents of cities has long been ap-
parent, but 1t is only of recent years
that the telephone has invaded the
rural districts. When the party line
first makes its appearance in the
country it is liable to create a little
dlscord among the patrons, but it's
practical use soon makes itself appar-
ent, the novelty wears off and the
telephone becomes a simple utility
The other day in a neighboring
county the rural telephone saved a
mans life. He had taken poison by
mistake. His condition was serious.
It was fifteen miles to the nearest
place where a doctor could be Sc
cured. The round trip could not be
made much short Of three hours, and
Immediate action was necessary.
There was the telephone. A doctor
was called up and told the situation.
He gave instructions as to what to do
and the results which could be ex-
pected from the treatment. If the
case had not gone too far the mans
life might be saved but the very sec
onds were important. The doctors
instructions were followed and quick,
intelligent work saved the mans life.
He owes his existence today to the
telephone.
The telephone is not a luxury but a
necessity. It saves several dollars
each month by avoiding needless
TRIPS 70 town. It will order repairs
instantly when machinery breaks
down. It helps to keep the sons and
daughters on the farm. It brings pat
rons IN close touch with the outside
world. In thousand different wavs
It helps to make the home happier
