BUYING MINNESOTA
BUTTER IN
CONNECTICUT
The Wonders Of the Distance
Telephone and How it Scored new
Commercial Record.

From the dairy farms of Minneso-
ia to the New England market is a
long way. It used to be considered
a prohibitive distance so far as the
transaction of a business deal in quick
time is concerned. Nowadays all that
is changed, at least, in the opinion of
Connecticut dealer who recently
called up Minneapolis to buy butter.
Minnesota butter is commodity
that in itself is likely to prove an in
centlve for the smashing Of records.
Its fame extends even as far away as
New England, and though in the old
days quick, up-to-date transactions at
such distances were out of the oues-
ton, the New Haven firm which re-.
sorted to the use of the long distance
telephone to order carload of butter
from Minneapolis has called attention
to very important fact with regard
to telephone service between distant
cities.
The record for long-distance mer-
chandising is believed to have been
established in this instance. The
message was received at Minneapolis
at 1 o'clock in the afternoon. By
nine that evening the car had been
loaded and shipped This assured the
receipt of the butter in New Haven at
least day and a half sooner than if
the deal had been arranged by mail.
This is only one of the later day
wonders of the telephone. Somehow
without any noise or fuss, this little
instrument, which only recently OBJ
served it's thirty fifth birthday, has
won it's way into universal acceptance
as necessity. When it was invent
ed it was considered a toy. and was
1876.
Today the whole business and so
cial world demands the best in the
way of telephone service. The tele-
phone is in every commercial house,
| in thousands of residences, and has
even more recently found its way into
| the farms. This is the most useful
! work it has done, for tightening the
labors and banishing isolation on the
farms is an achievement worthy OF
standing by itself.
To spread telephone service oTCf
the farms, where once such a thing
was unknown, has been work of ed
found it's way into every corner OF ru-
raj America. telling the farmers the
benefits and value Of the telephone.
! "How to Build Rural Telephone
Lines is the title of a booklet which
the Western Electric Company has
been distributing over every section
of the country. For it is fact that
the farmers themselves can do most
of the work of construction, and this
booklet has been made the textbook
from which many successful rural tel
ephone companies of today have
grown
Work of an educational nature has
made possible the network OF tele-
phone wires in the farming sections
where formerly such a thing was not
even thought Of 1t was education
of the sort fostered by the example
of the man who bought Minnesota but
ter in Connecticut and who demon
strated what the long distance tele-
iphone can do.

Bandit Killed at Harlem.

HARLEM, Mont, Aug 1-Three
masked men robbed the First Nationa
Bank of Harlem this forenoon about
11:3O-but the man who had the
booty in his possession was killed and
the money recovered. The two other
bandits escaped. Posses are close
after them and it is believed they will
be captured.
At the hour named the three men
rode up to the bank and entered. As
they did so two of them covered the
cashier and his assistant. the only pei
sons in the bank, with revolvers. A
,nird went behind the counter and
proceeded to fill a sack with gold
and currency from the counter and
vault which was open. The total
amount taken was $4,000.
Persons in the neighborhood no
ticed nothing wrong until one of the
robbers, evidently nervous and ex.
cited, accidentally fired a revolver,
Marshal Taswell to the back door of
the bank. As he entered one of the
robbers fired at him and in turn the
marshal fired, killing the man who
was just going out with the money.
The other two ran from the building,
mounted their horses and rode off at
full speed.
Within two minutes an automobile
started in pursuit. Other posses have
joined in the chase.
The vicinity of Harlem was former
ly the rendezvous of the Curry gang
of robbers and it is a conjecture that
the men were a part of the old gag.
In that event it is probable that it will
be hard to locate them as they are
familiar with the country and with
hiding places in the mountains.
