RURAL TELEPHONES

In an article entitled "The Rural Telephone Line" in the current issue of Farm and Preside appears the follow ing:
 Consider the telephone first as a business proposition. It brings the market quotations to you in an in- stant, so that you can sell or hold your produce, as you deem best, and the smooth buyer can no longer get your grain or cattle below the market price. Every merchant, implement dealer and mechanic in the town is at your im- mediate call. and break down in the harvest field means delay of 'only hours, instead of days In case of sick ness or accident, the doctor can be on hand in less than half the time for merly required, and I could cite hun dred cases in my own experience where lives have been saved solely. because there was a telephone in the house. In case of fire or robbery. the country dweller can summon immediate assist ance, and if you want to hear a real en- thusiast talk, just ask the country woman who has a telephone how much 1t has done to remove her fear of tramps when the men folks are away.
 Then look at the social side. Tn the old days. a visit meant an entire sus- pension of work, a long drive there and back again. tired horse, cross children (and husbands?), and the labor in- volved made a real task out of what should have been a pleasure. When you have telephone, all your neigh bors on the line are in constant touch with you, and visiting among the ladies, as a rule, keeps the wires hot through the leisure hours of the day and evening I was once asked to find out the trouble with a line in Mis- souri and told that the bells did not ring we'll On Investigating, I found a grounded line over 40 miles long with 93 instruments on 1t; the instruments were of half a dozen different makes, and it was a sheer impossibility to ring from one end of the line to the other; in fact, 1t required the assistance of half dozen users to send call through. When I laughingly suggested that such service was pretty nearly as bad as none at all, one old fellow (and he lived away out near the end tool drawled, 'Waal, she is pretty slow. but at that, she beats a horse.' And so she did

MINISTER'S, SONS

Rev. Clarence F. Mccartney in the Pop
 ular Science Monthly.
 It is probable that minister's sons have exerted more influence in the Unit ed States than in any other country. Among teachers, lawyers, doctors, sci- entists, men of business, and in the church, there are great host who have been the sons of the manse. Of the more notable men in our history who were sons of ministers we find in politi- cal life Cleveland, Clay, Buchanan, Ar thur Quay, Morton, Beveridge, Hughes, and the lamented Deliver of Iowa; among jurists. Field and Brewer; among educators, Woodrow Wilson, Faunce, James, Carroll, Lounsbury; in history and literature, Sloan, Parkman, Ban croft Holmes, Emerson, Henry James. Lowell, Glider, Van Dyke in inven- ton and science, Cyrus W. Field, sam uel F. Morse and Agassiz in the church, Beecher, Alexander, Hodge, Ab- bolt, Potter. Jonathan Edwards; in philosophy, James. In the Hall of Fame 5l famous Americans are honored. Of these 51, 10 are the children of min isters: Agassiz, Beecher, Harriet Bech- CT Stowe, Henry Clay. Jonathan Ed wards.

MATCHMAKING IN GERMANY

From Tit-Bits.
 Marriage in Germany, like everything else in the fatherland, is put on a scien- tific business basis. Cupid's antics find expression through the business cunning of the marriage broker and pounds, shil- lngs and pence play very important part in the joining of two hearts. Fraud and misrepresentation are naturally a necessary outcome; hardly a day passes but some "Cupid' is arrested for obtain ing money fraudulently In attempting to make one heart of two and thereby in- crease his income.
 The decidedly practical character of the marriage transactions may be noted in the Sunday newspapers, where display advertisements are quite common. Here is one that was heavily bordered. some what in the style of death notices: "Cul- tured gentleman Is offered opportunity co marry into lucrative Berlin laundry ma chine factory In another advertisement a man confesser to being physically de- fective,' but continues. "As only like and like can be enduringly happy, desire wife who has similar physeical af- hiction. Artificial leg not excluded. Give age. description and history of defect" A young man, mechanically inclined, sought the advertising columns for wife with artificial leg and some means"
 The advertisements usually cover two pages of a Sunday issue. They are frank in giving motives and fixing qualifications and freely disclose physical or even moral defections. An advertiser urgently de- sirous of taking unto himself a spouse closes his personal notice with, Widows and guiltless divorcees not excluded

Prosperity Everywhere

That is to say, prosperity exists everywhere in this country. The presidential election is no longer an obstacle to general business. In the words of the New York Herald, evil son is leading both of the other candi- dates, and the country is glad of it. Business men certainly are"
 The trouble now is, to get money and cars enough to move the prodi- gious crops of a great crop-making country. Not since the opening of 1910 has the call money rate been so high in New York, and what is true of New York is true of the other money centers of the country. It is due to the movement of the crops.
 Nor is activity confined to the railroads and the grain exporters. The iron and steel markets are strong, and production is.pushed to the maximum limit. Best of all, this condition seems to have come to stay, and commercial experts do not hesitate to predict that a ten-year period of prosperity is before us.

mistakable drift to Wilson in the three states of New York, Pennsyl- vania and New Jersey.
 Roosevelt has a considerable fol- lowing in the three states, made up in large part of those who have more enthusiasm than political wis dom of the younger voters, and of those who are at heart Rough Riders. In railroad and manufacturing towns he will poll good many votes, and he is holding his vote reasonably we'll.
 It is from the Taft vote that Will son is securing recruits, and they will vote quietly and as rule secret ly. The vest pocket vote of the old guard will go to Wilson in consider able numbers. This is fact that surprises the close inquirer wherever he stops in the three states, and it means that the 97 electoral votes of the three states will be cast for Will son and Marshall, no matter who may be nominated for governor in New York or what the complications may be in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
 No democrat can be found in the three states who proposes to vote for either Taft or Roosevelt. They see victory ahead and they propose to a man to vote for Wilson and Mar shall.

Cotton Reports and Prices

Tomorrow reports on the condl' tino and the actual ginning down tc September 26 will be issued by the government. These reports will be interesting, for they will go far to- ward enabling even the casual reader to form an estimate of the present crop.
 Two years ago 2,312,074 bales had been ginned up to September 26, and last year the ginning to that date was 3.676,594 bales. Should the ginning this year exceed 3,OO0,- 900 bales it will be impossible to avoid the conclusion that the crop is fully up to recent averages. It is concluded, however, that the heaviest gains this year will be in Texas.
 After these reports are issued pub lie interest will turn upon the date of killing frosts, and not until they appear can a reasonable estimate be made of the crop. An early frost would reduce the total yield as much as 100000 bales, and prices in the immediate future will relate more to the frost period than to bu- reau reports.

The Presidential Contest

''Withln the past three weeks my busi- ness has taken me to three eastern states,'' said John J. Driscoll of Chicago, and the more I travel the more con- vinced I am that Woodrow Wilson will be the next President.
 'I have never been particularly active in politics, but when I vote I usually cast democratic ballot. Every now an l then I meet a Roosevelt man who seems confident that the bull moose candidate will carry Illinois, and in New York found several men who thought Roese- welt would carry that state, but from the best information I can gather Nil- son will carry Illinois and New York. It is aanoteworthy fact that many in- dependent republicans are going to vote for Wilson. I have not met any une who expressed a belief that Taft would come anywhere near victory. It seems to be generally thought that in the popu- lar vote Roosevelt will lead Taft"

From Tit-Blts.

From Tit-Blts.
 TO prove a man a deserter from the
 army is often difficult task, for if
 a policeman were to take action before he was sure of his man, and the man afterward proved to be an ordinars citizen. there would be trouble Tn store for that constable. As consequence or this the ruses which are sometimes adopt e6 to catch deserters are often very in- renious. and ingenuity is further stimu- lated, perhaps, by the fact that po- lceman gets reward of a guinea or hair a guinea for handing over deserter to the military authorities.
 The catching of deserters is made all the more difficult by the fact that the military authorities do not take any ac- tion untily five days after the soldiers desertion.
 When a soldier deserts from the army he naturally seeks work of some kind. and with this object in view he scans the advertisements in the papers. This fact is we'll known to the authorities, and hum dreds of deserters have. been caught by the following trick:
 All duScA AticcAhCiit iS AitSchecu ah thN newspapers by some pawnbroker who is in league with the police. The advertise ment states that generous terms are of fered for the purchase of military cloaks or boots. These are generally the only articles of military attire which a de- serter retains, and he is naturally at tracted by the opportunity of disposing Of them He answers the advertisement, the pownbroker gives particulars to the po- lice and within a few days the deserter probably finds himself in the charge of a military escort
 Sometimes the ruses adopted are very amusing. In Lancashire. for example, a constable suspected well set up young man of being deserter, and was anx- ious to confirm his suspicious. He man aged to make suspicion certainty by the ] following method: As he was passing the young man he started whistling the tune popularly known as Army Duff in time Ito the young mans footsteps. Doing this generally makes Tommy wild at any time. but the insult. coming as 1t did at time when this young man particularly wanted

 When Maynes estate was reviewed with the idea of paying little outstanding debts it was found to consist of box of tools, bed that brought 1.20 and four violns. It was generally understood in the conl- munity that Captain Mayne possessed a very fine fiddle.

The steel Corporation Suit

My prediction is that the United States Steel corporation will give up the Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad. com pany and effect a compromise with the government, which will cause the govern ments suit for the dissolution of the trust to be withdrawn, said a promi- nent business man not connected with any of the industrial corporations.
 ''I was in Chicago last week and met several financiers and steel people there, and the opinion was freely expressed among them that the Steel corporation would soon work out a plan for detaeh- ing the Tennessee company as a subsid- iary concern.
 q think that the Steel corporation s acquisition of the Tennessee company in 1907 was a great thing for the Birming- ham district The corporation has spent many millions of dollars here on develop ment But in view of the government s attitude, 1t will probably be best now for the good of all parties concerned for the Tennessee company to become an In dependent and be managed as an inde- pendent company. If the Tennessee com pany is detached from the Steel corpora ton 1t will acquire the big new wire mill at Corey. That will be the logical thing to do imagine, that in any event the wire mill will be in operation before a great while.
 "The Steel trade is more active now than ever and business conditions will certainly justify the manufacture of wire here

A LOST DOG
le October Lippincott'e.

From the October Lppincott's
 When travelling through the west, a man lost a valuable. dog, and imme- diately proceeded to the office of the Hustler's Review in the town where he was stopping. Entering abruptly. he said to the editor: I've lost a dog. I'd like to have you insert this ad for me:
 Seventy five dollars reward for the return of a French bulldog answering to the name of Darwin. Last seen on Turner's road"
 Were just goin' to press" said the editor, "but we'll manage to hold the edition for your ad."
 After returning to the hotel, the owner of the dog decided it might be best to add to his advertisement. No questions asked" He returned to the office, to find the place entirely de- serted. save for red haired youth, who sat gazing intently out of the window. Where is everybody?" he asked
