+. B. Rowe, general manager Of
the Great Western Telephone Co.,
was in our city Wednesday and
installed a public phone in tho
post office. A lineman soon had
the poles and wire up from here
to Topbar and in the afternoon we
were given connections with
Philip. With the advent of the
daily mail and the telephone,
Milesville will be supplied with
great incentives toward more
rapid growth and our farmers will
be greatly benefited as result.
The telephone rates are 35c to
Philip and 25c to any point be-
tween here and there. Mr.. Rowe
will be out Monday to extend the
line to Hardingrove. Milesville

church with them. Where these
people locate good farming is as
sured, and they are valuable
addition to any community in
which they locate. The chances
are that the purchases made by
these people will mean good

That Stanley county may soon
be raising sugar beets and produc-
ing her own sugar is not an inn
possibility. As an instance of the
productiveness, of our soil ip grow
ing sugar beets we learn that Mr..
Edwards, just southwest of Kado-
ka, had in a quarter of an acre this

gave them very little attention in
the way of cultivation and the
