Telephones for Farmers.

Il VII be matter Of considerable
interest TO the merchants and busi-
ness men of Williamsburg and to the
farmers and other rural residents
throughout James City county. TO
know that Il is now possible for
farmers to secure telephone service
IN their homes and connection with
the Bell System.
The Southern Bell Company Of
Virginia has evolved plan whereby
farmers and other rural residents
may secure telephone service On an
economical basis. Under this plan
a group Of farmers build their tels-
phone line and connect il with tie
lines of the Bell system az a desig-
mated point thereby securing service
with each other and with the mer-
chants and other residents OF the
nearest city. Through the esnen-
sive toll system of the Bell Company
they are also enabled 10 connect by
telephone with friends. relatives and
business associates in distant cites
BY reason of the fact that the farm
ers build and own the line and own
al OF the equipment. the Bell Com
pany IS able to furnish servi,e at r.
markaoly low cost. and the farmers
by building the line in this manner
are enabled to purchase the equir
ment at a cost much lower than
W ould otherwise be possible.
The value OF the telephone 70 n
farmer in the rural districts has bern
demonstrated throughout the South |
IN fact. It has become such an inpor-
tant factor that together with n |
rural mail service. it was the onlv
public utility mentioned in the re-
cent report of the Country Lite
Commission. The trend of this r.
port shows that the telephone is 10 /
play an important part in the evolu-
ton OF country life in America anc
that so tar as the rural districts are
concerned. this great agency Of com
municauon is in IFS infancy.
The establishment of Farmers !
Telephone Lines is of great advsn,
age to merchants and business men
and other residents of the city. I'll
puts them in touch with a most de /
sirable class Of people With WHOM
they could not otherwise communi /
cate except when they paid a DC,
sonal visit to the city. Each o. |
these lines is equal to an addiGons
door IN the merchants store and ev-
ery member OF the community en- |
Joys the convenience and advantage |
OF telephone service of such a6e. /
quate and incompatible value as isl
furnished through tn Bell System.
There IS considerable interes
among the farmers in this secuon IN
the matter OF securing telephone ser
wee and any information on the sub
-ct can oe secured by communicat
ing with the Manager at Williams

CHARLES CONRAD ABBOTT

When the history of American scien-
tific research is written, one of the
foremost names in the list will be that
of Charles Conrad Abbott. This dis
tinguished archaeologist first breathed
the breath of life in New Jersey, a
state long notable as the birthplace of
men who have attained fame in scien-
tfic and educational circles. Tren-
ton, the capital of the commonwealth
of 'slleeters and trusts, was his ma
tive town, and June 4, 1S43, the date of
his birth
His interest in archaeology began
with his school days. He was not
content, however, with the mere study
of what other men had discovered in
regard to the truths of his chosen sci
ence. In the field of original invest
CATION he made discoveries that were
talked of in scientific circles through
out the world. Perhaps the most not
able of his discoveries from a popular
point of view, was that of palaeolithic

they began an investigation and as
he gave no satisfactory explanation
as to where he secured MS supplies
he was placed under arrest. After
being questioned closely he acknowl-
edged that he had stolen the wheel
and sold it to F. c. Smith the bicycle
man on Alder street.
Mr. Smith states that young Quit
mann approached him Tuesday after
noon to buy the wheel and he told
him that he could not do so unless
he brought a written order from his
parents. The youth left and returned
in a short time with written order
giving his authority to sell the wheel.
Mr.. Smith gave him dollar and
Guitmann left.
When arrested late Thursday after
noon the boy had his pockets full OF
CONS for tho pistol and cane and sew
eral punches of. firecrackers and 80
cents left out of the dollar. HIS
mother made good the amount anu
mon promise to do better in the fu-
ture the boy was released.

RUSSIAN LAD GETS
A BICYCLE CHEAP
Eight Year Old Fred Guitman Picks
Up Wheet Belonging to Thomas
Mason and Sells 1t for 81.

Fred Guitmann, lad of eight years,
the son of Russian parents who live on
Malcolm street, was arrested yester
day afternoon on the charge of having
stolen a bicycle from the rack in
front of the Union office and selling
the same to a repair man on Alder
street for 81, using the money to pur-
chase a supply of firta-crackers and
Fourth of July goods.
The Wheel which was the property
of Thomas Mason, a linotype operator
employed on the Union, had been left
in the bicycle rack in front of the
office while he attended to his duties
in the office. Upon finishing his work
he found the wheel gone and upon
making few inquiries among the en-
ployes of the Union and receiving no
definite information, he reported the
matter to the police, with instructions
to look out for the thief.
Yesterday morning the police noticed
young Guitmann on the streets with
his pockets full of firecrackers and

A hat that had nothing on it but a
piece of velvet ribbon about its crown
with wing on the left side, had but
tons of straw, or really capochons they
WERE which were laid at intervals on
the velvet band. The combination of
color was black straw and green trim

effective hat, for the new greens in
