RURAL TELEPHONES.

There is always something b.ine
said about good roads,; there is al.
ways some movement on foot tc
promote the good roads of the
State, and we would net for mo
ment discount the value ofEfgood
roads. but there are other things we
ought to talk more about and de-
vote more of our time to than we
do. and one of these things is the
rural telephone. Of course, good
roads help. but two hundred rural
telephones connected with the
homes of two hundred farmers out
from Bolton would do more to pro-
mote the prosperity of the section
OF country surrounding this town.
and would more closely unite the
people of this section, than a hund-
red miles of macadam road bed
built out from Belton. You nay
not think that this is true. 1t is a
broad assertion to make and we give
you the right to disagree with us un-
til we have had chance to prove
to you that it is fact and not
merely theory advanced by the
editor of The Belson Times; bu,
once you see the matter in the light
that we see it, and in it's true light,
then you will recognize the advan-
tage Of the rural telephone.
Let the farmers of thu State build |
up their farms and improve their
residences, and good roads are GER
tain to follow. The farmers will
recognize the value to them of hav
Ing good public highways running |
by their farms and they will 90 tc |
work to build the good roads. Give

tain as the night follows the day,
good roads are going to find a beat
en- pathway into that section of
country. We admit that good roads
are essential to progressive people
but they Just as naturally follow the
lead OF the progressive spirit. We
have good roads and lots Of than,
and the really interesting and en-
couraging part of it is that they are
growing better as the years-so by.
faths and narrow road beds uf a
decade ago are now public high
ways and the public highways cf
ten years ago are now becoming
smooth boulevards.
we are, as yet, cut off from &c ch
other, IN sense, though, because
we have not stressed enough the
building of rural telephone lines.
Let one hundred farmers of this
section connect their homes with the
exchange here in Belton and there
will be one hundred farmers who
have, in great measure, become cit
liens of the town. They have join-
ed themselves to the town, and tn y
have become interested in the
growth and development Of he
place. They naturally feel deep
er interest in Bolton than they did
before. They can telephone their
friends in town, and we who have
heretofore been mere acquaintance
become neighbors and close friends,
They telephone into town for what
ever information they want and
haven't got-the rural telephone
will bind to the town of Bolton the
farmers of this entire section, if we
will develop the lines running out
from this exchange. This is some
thing we have not heretofore given
the attention that it has really been
due. Let's get busy; think of what
we have said in this article, and see
for yourself if it isn't worth your
while. Every farmer ought to have
his home connected with the town
nearest him by telephone, and they
will do it, if they are shown the ad-
vantage that such a connection
would be to them. Personally, we
would rather see the farms of this
section connected with the tele-
phone exchange here than the
stores and bg".uas a.ac 7p
