Farmers Telephones.

A dollar a month does not go far
enough after it gets into the telephone
company's treasury to satisfy the man
ager who has to pay the upkeep and
operating expenses on big rural line
system, and keep little small change
to hand over to stockholders once in six
months. He has TO cut too MANY
corners, and run too many chances of
getting caught short of a bank balance
by sleet storm, or law suit.
Twelve dollars year is too low for
farmers line service on the average
system, with the quality and cost i'm
proved as it has been in the last few
years. 1t is time to start after this rate.
The farmers can afford to pay more
why should not they be induced to
recognize value received?
OF course we know what the farmers
do when it is proposed to raise the tele-
phone rate. But can this go on forever?
What is the best way to get this thing
into better shape? Some have done it
already. Telephony, (The Independ-
ent Telephone Journal.)

Reasons Why.

Ten reasons why you should take
your farm loans with me:
First-Will give to you for ten years
with privilege Of paying it off in five.
Second-You pay your interest once
each year and not twice. If you pay
your interest twice each year you lose
use of half of interest for months each
year
Third-Will let you make payment
at any time during the year. You don t
have to wait till interest-paying time to
make it. No other company will allow
you this privilege.
Fourth-Will lend you more dollars
on each acre than any one else.
Fifth-Will get your money quicker
Sixth-You do not have to have your
land surveyed. This is an extra ex-
pense you save in my company.
Seventh will tell you now that
you can renew your loan and carry it
for a lifetime Will other companies
do this? Also tell you what it costs ev-
cry ten years.
Eighth-Will other loan companies
do this?
Ninth-Will give you a ten-year loan
with privilege of paying it off in five
years for what others will give you
five-year loan
Tenth-If you want the best at the
least cost, see me. | will tell you ex-
actly in dollars and cents what the cost
will be for ten or twenty years. Office

Special Notice.

1t should be remembered that the
chief object of constructing the sewer
system for the city was for the purpose
of improving our present sanitary con-
ditions and abating nuisances on ac-
count of the flow of polluted water from
bath tubs, laundry and kitchen sinks,
as well as to accommodate those who
wished to put in toilets and maintain
them in sanitatary manner.
A recent investigation by our santa
ry committee has revealed the fact that
there are numerous sources for COM
plant and that all kinds OF contami-
mated water is allowed to run into the
streets, which should not be allowed
nor expected since the sewer enables
these nuisances to be abated
| am authorized by the sanitary COM
mittee to give notice that all persons
within reasonable reach OF sewer line
must either connect with the same on
Or before December the first or abate
Ill such nuisances by ceasing to allow
any kind of polluted water to flow from
heir premises into the streets.
This order does not imply that the
BOARD expects to make it compulsory to
attach to the sewer except so far as is
necessary to maintain the sanitation of
he city Yours truly,

The decision Of the National Capital
Dental Society to devote number of
hours each month to the treatment of poor
school children is meritorioua The public
importance Of the health Of school chill
dren has come to be generally admitted.
At first concern was shown for the COM
mcner forms Of disease of the whole
body. Then followed regard for the eyes
and teeth. There is no other opinion now
than that the state should take an inter-
est in the bodies as well as in the minds
of its children.
The relation Of the teeth to general
health Is intimate. Bad teeth might be
due to a weak body and a. weak body
effect are confused. Sound teeth or UNI
sound teeth properly repaired are strong
aids to health. Dental inspection has
been practiced in the Washington schools.
1t is reported that in 1910 the teeth of
$500 pupils were examined by dental
examiners who gave their services. The
law now provides for the employment of
two salaried dental inspectors. These
inspectors will determine what dental
work the pupil needs and a chart showing
these needs will be sent to the pupils
parents.
The members Of the National Capital
Dental Society have agreed to give part
Of their time for the correction of defects
found by the dental examiners in the
cases Of very poor children. It will be
good work. It will be practical philan-
thropy.

=. Street Car Mail Boxes.

Any plausible plan promising speedier
collection Of mail matter, that delay In
reaching centers Of distribution may be
avoided. might well be tried. The Star
last evening told that negotiations are
pending between the Post ONCE Depart
ment and the Washington street rail-
way companies with the idea OF attaching
to street cars an open-top mail box. in
which mail may be deposited while the
car is in motion. In this way a letter
should reach the central ONCE or appro-
pirate substation few minutes after be-
ing posted. instead OF remaining in the
street letter box perhaps several hours
until the next collection.
In the business sections Of the city
mail collections are SO numerous that
there Is little delay, but this is not true
of the residence and outlying districts.
Missing the collection by one minute may
delay the arrival Of q letter at the dis
tributing point by several hours, and by
missing connection with mail-carrying
trains the letter may be delayed several
hours more In leaving the city Of origin.
The news story recites that the street
car mail box service has been tried In
Wilmington, Del, with favorable results.
One argument is that as the number of
letters posted on each car is compare
lively small and the inflow OF mail steady
the task Of distribution at the central
or branch Office Is simplified.

Race Meet Dates Cancelled.

The sport of horse racing is said to be
dead again in New York. News dis
patches report that racing dates for this
season have been cancelled because Of the
directors liability law. q law which holds
directors and stockholders of racing as.
sociations criminally liable for any form
of betting that may take place within
their gates with or without their consent
The law also applies to county fairs as
well as to Jockey Club tracks.
The cancellation OF the race meeting
dates seems to give weight to the argu-
ment that horse racing does not thrive
without the betting feature. It has been
generally charged that it Is the betting
chance which lures race track patronage.
and not interest in the breeding Of the
thoroughbred horse or in the horse per
se This charge has been denied about
as often as II has been made. but the
facts indicate that where race track bet
ting Is not merely prohibited but actually
prevented horse racing languishes.
Race track gambling is one Of the very
seductive forms of this vice. Those who
make winnings are 30 conspicuous (when
they make them), there Is so much 'In.
side information and by the use Of
dope Sheets IL is so easy TO figure out
a winning that the temptation for many
men and women is Irresistible. Also at
