A Rural Telephone System
And It's RECOGNIZED Merits

There should be a telephone in
every home, and there would be
if every one knew how it would
benefit him.
For the epurpose of showing how,
when and why a telephone will
repay you over and over again for
the few dollars it costs, the Mes
chacebe has gathered some plain
facts for your consideration.
The telephone makes life in the
country more pleasant. 1t brings
friends and neighbors within
talking distance and furnishes the
abiiily to summon aid at any time
of day or night in case Of sickness
or danger.
In case of fire your neighbors
can be quickly called by telephone
and their assistance secured.
When sudden illness comes to
one of your family the doctor can
be instantly summoned by tele-
phone and his advice obtained to
alleviate pain or prolong life until
he arrives.
If thieves break in, the tele-
phone provides a ready means Of
obtaining help to protect your
property.
When you are in the city and
uneApectedly detained, you can
ring up your house, if you have a
phone in it, learn how things are
at home, and tell your anxious
wife the cause of your delay.
During the long winter eve
nings when it is difficult to get
out and visit the neighbors, the
telephone will keep you informed
Of what is going on. Social chats
may be held and visits arranged
regardless of the distance which
intervenes.
When tramps come to the door
while the near folks are away,
a telephone gives a woman cour-
age because she can use it to call
for help in case of emergency.
The telephone enables you and
your friends to share pleasures.
| A new piece on the phonogragh
or piano, a good story or an in
teresting bit of news may be
passed along to a friend miles
aWay as readily as to the one next
door.
In getting up a party you can
use the telephone to send in
| vitations at a moments notice
and before you leave the telephone
you know how many can come
and how many cannot.
The above arguments should
appeal to one and all. The Mes
chacebe seriously advocates the
installation of rural or local
telephone system in this parish,
on both sides of the river. Will
we find enough persons interested
! in the telephone to justify start
ing a system? Others will join the
line after they once see how
valuable your telephone is to you.
Who will have the honor of being
the first to introduce the rural
telephone in st. John Parish?

TORS WILD BE ADMITTED

The curious who are contemplating
trip to the fair grounds today sim
ply to anluse themselves watching the
activities incident to the opening Of
the exposition, may as well amend
their plans and take ride TO some
one Of the parks or, better still, go
to church or Sunday-school.
The fair management has issued
the ukase that all the entrances to
the grounds will be closed today and
only exhibitors and employees will be
permitted TO enter.
Furthermore, the street cars, con-
trary to custom, will not run through
to the grounds today and the long
taunt from Robinson street tn the en-
trance would not be to the liking OF
the average person, and to take the
walk only to be refused adnittance
would be disheartening. For the
convenience Of exhibitors and en-
ployes the Broad and Twenty-nfth
street care were run through to the
entrance @Yesterday~en regular eche-s
dule, and the schwiule will be resum-
ed Monday morning and continued
all the weak, with plenty of extra
cars TO accommodate the crowds. But
not today.
HeretofAre II has been the custom
for large crowds of the curious to
flock to the fair grounds on the Sum
day before the opening day. but this
pleasure will be denied the crowds
today.
