WHAT IS WORTH HAVING

The morning season Of the year
has lis lesson OF light heartedness.
Il teaches that the cares and heavi-
nesses Of life may be brushed aside
II We know the magic wand which
makes them leave. We take our
selves too seriously most seasons OF
the year. We regard the trivial
things Of life as OF tremendous con-
sequence forgetting that there is
really but little Of permanent value.
SO when spring fever comes, this
curious disease which draws US
out OF doors for cure and treatment,
we find that Of most consequence is
fresh air and blue sky and the little
lady's love and, having these. the
whole may come and 60 UNDECIDED.

Today we have a telephone

vice and efficiency is excelled
nowhere, is seldom equalled
and shows what can be done
when there is unanimity of
purpose and cooperation.
i first want TO tell You OF
our service, the very low cost
of the same and how we or.
gained to bring about this
result. TIE subscribers of
the Longwood exchange have
free service with nearly every
farm residence within six tp
eight miles in every direction
also, with Hugbesvi!le, Hous.
tonia, Sweet Springs on the
west and northwest, and with
Nelson, Napton Blackwater
and Arrow Rock on the east
and northeast. This service
is free; that is, coming at act
ual cost Of operation, which so
far has been, the first year
% cents per month per phone
and this, the second year, less
than 30 cents per month per
phone.
Out side OF this we are able
10 phone anywhere in Sedalia
or Marshall for 10 cents per
message, and TO any of the
larger cities at the usual rates
applicable TO this territory.
The service il first.class 10
every respect.
We find by actual use that
we have ten times more need
for the phone among our
neighbors and our little town
OF Longwood than the way of
points. We call the doctor,
get up our threshing crews,
call for extra help, make ar
engagements to butcher, saw
wood, 60 To town, find out If a
neighbor Is at home and where
to find him, find out the mar
kets on everything, carry on
social conversations, find out
about the sick and many other
things.
How this was brought about
follows: On July 20, 1905,
about twenty citizens of Long
wood and the surrounding
country met at the hall n
Longwood and elected John
Howe president and Louis W.
Schanz secretary Of the meet
ing. This meeting instructed
the secretary TO take the
names OF those desiring to
organize a home telephone
company. 1t adjourned IL
meet again August ~, 1905.
when the secretary reported
forty names. At this meet.
ing a permanent organization
was effected, AS follows: Pres
Ident, j. Fl. Allison; vice pres
ident, James Smiley; secre-
tary, Louis W. Schanz; treas.
urer, j. d. Prowell; board OF
directors, John w. Swope,
Louis W. Schanz and Dave
Greer.
On August 10, 1905, another
meeting was held, at which
an operator for the switch.
board was chosen and a place
determined on to place the
same. An assessment of $40
for each member was levied
to purchase q switchboard and
material to commence con.
struction, and the board Of
directors authorized TO pur.
chase the same.

bylaws. which was later
adopted.
II This material was soon at
hand and the construction be-
gan at once, the poles being
purchased, hauled and set.
First thirty telephones and a
SlW.drop switchboard we're
ordered. About September
10, 1905, the telephones. ar.
rived, but no switchboard.
We now had enough line to
put up these thirty telephones
which we did, connecting
them at Longwocd and using
them in that way until No.
vember 20, 1905, when the
switchboard arrived and was
placed in position.
At this time there were
four party lines running-one
from Postal, one from wana.
maker, one from the country
west about five miles and one
from the country north about
three miles, each having from
eight to fifteen subscribers or
phones. In Longwood we
had six phones on a series of
drops; that is, each phone on
a line 10 itself, making a total
OF ten drops to begin with.
The next step was to secure
communication with the rail-
road aud Sedalia. We ap.
pointed a committee to visit
the management OF the
Hughesville exchange and
easily made an agreement
whereby the Hugbesvillc ex-
change built one-half and the
Longwood exchange the other
half of a trunk link connect.
ing both exchanges.
BY Jan. 1, 1905, this trunk
line was completed, the cost
of which, to our company, was
Sl14.22. We now had free
use of the Hughesville ex.
change and the exchanges
that they exchanged with, in.
GLIDING Sedalia, on the same
terms that their subscribers
had-that is, we had nothing
whatever to pay only when
we called Sedalia, which was
10 cents per message. By
this time our subscribers
numbered about 125.
We now wanted Nelson aud
Marshall. These we secured
IN like manner, by building
one-half of a trunk line and
the Nelson exchange the
other half. This cost our
company S139.47 and gave us
Nelson, Blackwater, Arrow
Rock and others free and
Marshall at 10 cents per
message. We now have IT'S
members. To explain futher
each member buys his or her
phone, which costs about $l2.
Each pays his or her share q,
the cost of wire, ETC., used
TO construct such lines as
they use to come to the
switchboard, which averages
from So % $l2 each.
To be more explicit, it has
cost some Of our subscribers
rs low as $50, and none more
than $40 to build their lines
and buy their phones. AS l
have said before, the only
other expense IL for operating
the switchboard and batteries,
which now is about 30 cents
per month per phone.
