OLD CORPORATION TACTICS
CHARGED IN ATTEMPT TO
THwARr COMPETITION.
DECLARE PUBLIC WANT
AN AUTOMATIC SERVICE
Ia as Far Ahead of What They Now
Get as Self Binder is Superior to Old
Rake Reaper, Says New Com pany-
County Wide Service to Obviate Toll
Charges.

To the Public: In an attempt to
mislead the public, in an advertiser ent
in the Times Republican Of July l, the
local management of the Bell mono
poly hands out an insult to the farm
ers of Marshall county and singles out
President F. NJ. Wheeler. Of the Mer-
chants, Mechanics and Farmers Tel
ephone Company for personal attack
for an article, the responsibility for
! which rests no more with Mr.. Wheeler
than with the thrty-four other men
whose names We're attached.
Thus the old corporation tactics are
being practiced in an attempt to stop
the organization of the new telephone
company. But they have succeeded
only in making the 500 and more
stockholders more anxious than ever to
begin the construction of their new
automatic plant. which will give
county wide service and do away with
the collection of tolls as is now being
practiced by the Bell company.
These 500 stockholders are promoters.
all right. but they are not the get rich
quick" kind, as the local Bell manage
ment would apparently like to have YOU
believe They are the farmers. business
men and mechanics of the county, who
are determined to rid themselves OF the
Bell monopoly, just as they have al
ready freed themselves from the old
line fire insurance monopolies. and re-
duced the cost one-half.
The public will not be fooled by the
Belrs talk of two phones for Mar
shutdown people for the telephone
users will want only the automatic up
date service which is as far ahead
of what they now get as the self binder
is ahead OF the old self rake reaper.
OF course the Bell company do not
use automatic phones. and they did
tell the truth when they said they were
supported by a large part Of the tel
ephone world, for their big overgrown
monopoly is a large part of the tel
ephone world. But they failed to say
how large part of the telephone users
would be glad to get the chance to use
the automatic telephone.
The Bell management may make
light Of the claim Of the new company
to save the telephone users Of Mar
shall county $4,000 to 100000 yearly.
but they can not convince the people Of
their truth as long as they write their

NEW NAVY YARD SITE
Narragansett Bay Is selected by Sec
rotary Meyer.

Washington, Dec S.-Narragansett
bay. Rhode Island, has been selected
as the site of one of the three great
Atlantic coast navy yards proposed by
Secretary Meyer in his reorga nization
plans, the others being at Norfolk
and Guantanamo.
This will mean the elimination of
the New York, the Boston and Ports
mouth, n. H, yards. Mayor Fitzger-
aid of Boston today had a long con-
ference with Secretary Meyer, who
conveyed the impression that the plan
which has been under consideration
for some time by joint army and
navy board had advanced to the stage
where it almost was ready for presen-
tation to congress
Secretary Meyer pointed out that
when the Panama canal was opened,
the battIeship fleet would divide much
of its time between the east and west
coasts of the United States and would
lessen the need for navy yards on the
Atlantic side. Narragansett bay was
selected as the site for the northern
yard because it was sufficient to pro-
vide barber area for the anchorage
of the biggest fleet and its entrances
cO1lId easily be protected.
