The Home Company Now Has Three
Thousand Subscribers.

The long needed and much expect
ed new directory of the Oskaloosa
Home Telephone company has been
issued and the girls on the 'infor1na-
ton" desk at Central who have been
overworked for months, will be the
first to realize the merits and the val
ue of the new book.
The ney directory has been delay
ed on account of the changing of the
numbers of phones in all parts of
the city. The change in numbers was
occasioned by the reconstruction OF
the service and the changing of over
head wires to conduits and cables.
The work has taken long time, but
the Improvement is so notable that
we are glad we waited.
Manager George w. Gordon has is
sued the best list of subscribers that
Oskaloosa has ever had. The last pre-
vious list was distributed June LIST,
1908. Since that time the new ex-
change has been installed and the
system of service wires replaced. The
date of the new directory is Dec LIST.
A list of three thousand subscribers
is presented, the largest number the
exchange has ever known. This is a
remarkable change from few years
ago, when an exchange of three hun
dred subscribers was considered re-
markable. The directory gives street
and number of the instrument named
for all places in oskaloosa, complete
list of all rural subscribers and the
Rose Hill exchange directory to which
all subscribers of the Oskaloosa ex-
change are permitted use without
charge. The new book contains one
hundred pages, with cover, and is a
neat piece of work, geographically.
The printing was done in the Herald
| Office.
! The new books will be distributed
to subscribers as rapidly as possible.
Several days may be required to reach
all of the more remote places where
instruments are in use.

Educational Campaign, the order o.
ed, and the first meeting will be held
in Mariana. October 3, at the press

of Jackson county.
The board of public instruction OF
that county has just completed one
OF the finest modern school buildings
in the state-a work OF progress
seemingly unappTeciated by the peO-
pie OF that school district, since at
a recent election held for the pur-
pose of creating a special tax school
district, the measure was defeated.
In consequence of this depIOrabIa
failure to further the cause Of educa-
ton in Jackson county, the school is
doomed to a four months term, in
stead Of the eight months they could
so easily have had.
It is hoped by those interested IN
the education of the Jackson county
youth that the rally VIII so awaken
the people that they viii yet take
steps to place their county abreast
of the foremost communities along
the lines of educational endeavOT.
