Nothing in recent years can eX-
cecd in interest the present propo-
Iition of the Bell Telephone Com
pany for furnishing telephones for
farmers. From the very nature OF
his isolated life, the farmer has more
need of the telephone than almost
any other class of persons.
The Bell Company's plan is as
follows:
The Bell Company will build a
line to given junction poiut, prob
ably such IA point being at the out
skirts of the borougo limits OF the
towns Where their exchanges are To-
Gated and will assign certaiu wires
from their switch boards to this
junction point for the exclusive pur-
pose of there connecting up with the
farmers line.
convenient groups or clubs, aud are
to Jointly build their own telephone
| line as far as this junction point,
where the Bell people will attach to
il and so connect the group or clut
of farmers telephones with theii
system.
The Bell Company will at very
low prices eithsr sell or rent all the
necessary apparatus required for in
stalIing the instruments and will
rent the actual speaking parts AT very
nominal rates.

A destructive fire .said to be due
to a defective flue entirely destroyed
the handsome residence of a. X.
Pennington, at Benton, on Tuesday
morning. The family were eating
break fast when one of the family
smelled smoke and upon investiga-

hurried to the scene and were sue

The statement was made in a mystic
rious but very positive manner by a
Wall Street news agency that before
the end of the month the Union Pacific
would make a very important announce
ment regarding it's financial plans. This
was sufficient to revive the story of
an utilization of some sort between the
Union Pacific and the New York Cen
trail. which most persons had regarded
as dead and buried these many weeks.
A different guess was that the stock
holders were to be Informed of the
purpose for which they were asked TO
authorize a 100000. 600 increase in the
preferred stock this spring.

Lanston was in strong demand at

and the unconfrmed, though persistent,
rumor that negotiations for the absorb

WHAT TO FEED DOGS IN SUMNER.

tJoseph A. Graham in June Ouung)
For a hundred years all OF us have
been told, and most Of us have be-
IIeved, that cornbread Is not good
food for dogs. It has been called "heat-
ing" Authorities have told us that it
had too much OF tendency to create
far and not enough in the direction Of
bone and muscle. Recently, however,
one Of the great bench show handlers
and judges has stated publicly that after
trying all sorts Of combinations, he
found that he could get his dogs into
better condition with cornbread than
with any othes food,
About the same time an old foxhound
man told me that he had observed close
" for many years, and that his dogs
had always more strength, vim and en-
durance when he fed them on cornbread
He said that oatmeal manufactured bis
cult and a mixture Of meat and vege-
tables were ali inferior in results. He
feeds his mature dogs on meat twice a
week and on cornbread the rest OF the
time. His puppies are raised almost
entirely on corn meal and milk.
