He can get in quick communication
with the veterinary surgeon If some
one of his precious animals become
suddenly indisposed. For his wife
and children there is a means OF
enlivening the long day by CONVEX
sations and exchanges of visits with
neighbors. Neighbors on western
farms are often many miles apart
but they can be brought nearer
than next door with the aid of the
telephone.
These are some of the many
reasons why rural phones jumped
449 per cent in the United States
and 1850 per cent in the far west
in five years. 1t can truly be said
that the country telephone has had
its part in the winning of the west.

1t must be remem bered that the
telephone was nothing new in 1902.
1t dates back to 1875, but its mar
velous popularity is of more recent
origin in fact, is within the memory
of all. Where once the telephone
was the luxury of the rich man;
now it is utilized by thousands of
plain American farmers, who find
it their greatest convenience and
business aid. That is the story
told by the telephone census and
there are many other statistics of
more than passing interest.
IN the United states in 1902
there were 266966 rural phone
stations. Five year later the CEN
sus recorded ], AGA 1888, an increase
of 449 per cent. The number of
farms in the country is given as 8,
535,611. In 1902 but 24.8 per
cent of these farms were equipped
with facilities for communication
over the telephone wire. Five
years later the percentage was 26.5.
The state of Iowa on Dec. 81,
1907, showed 1873 per cent of its
farms using the telephone, Today
unofficial figures place the percent
age at IS. For the increase in the
number of farm telephones has
gone on even more steadily
since the latest census figures were
published. According to the state
ment of the Western Electric Com
pany, which manufactures all the
telephones and apparatus used in
this country by the Ben system, it
alone has sold over eighty thousand
rural telephones within the past
six months.
An up-to-date farmer once said
that he would as soon think of
moving his hay with an old-fash-
Toned scythe as of trying to conduct
his farm successfully without tel
ephone. These are the days when
agricultural America is retaining
so-called waste land; is buying
farm implements that reduce toll
and incease productiveness and the
telephone is the instrument that is
going hand-in-hand with all these
improvements in the rural com
muuities.

sells his products or stock keeps

PRUNES FOR COMPLEXION
GREAT DOPE SAYS ACTRESS

Eat prunes If you wish to preserve
your youthful complexion. the au-
thority for this receipt is Miss frankie
Drew, the dimnutive comedianne
who comes to the oregon theatre
Saturday, Jan. 16. in THE Flower Of
the Ranch" Many of Miss Drews
friends have admired her milk-and-
peaches complexion, which looks even
better in the street than it does on
the stage. and she has finally let the
cat out of the bag. She credits her
clear skin and rosy cheeks to the daily
dish of prunes which she never
misses. As long as she can remem-
her this generally despised fruit,
which has been the butt Of every
boarding house joke since time im-
mortal, has been a part of her daily
bill of fare. What convinces this
clever little woman Of the potency Of
the prune to preserve her complexion
is the fact that some two years age
she spent a few weeks in the back
woods, where, for the first time in
years she had to forego her favorite
dish She noticed that, in spite Of the
outdoor exercise and bracing air her
cheeks begon to lose some of their
perpetual bloom. When she re-
tUred to civilization-and prunes-
the roses returned to her cheeks, and
now she swears eternally by her ia
vorite dish which she prefers for her
breakfast to the juicy grape fruit or
the luscious melon.
