The efficiency and benefit deriv-
ed from telephone service in the
town is generally dependent up
on the amount of rural territory,
which can be reached by the peo-
pie living in the town, and the of
fcials of the Mansfield-Ava Tele-
phone company will be very glad
to furnish rates and information
relative to furnishing service at
any point which can be reached
by their wires. This company is
to be congratulated upon making
for furnishing such
telephone service as it
above, and it invites the
citizens of this community to visit
the exchange at any time after 1t
is installed and inspect its new
equipment.

petition in voluntary bankruptcy
in the federal court. Her stock

claims against it amounting to
$500, besides the $4,000 judgment
held by Mrs. Cora Claxton, who
received judgment in her sen
sational suit in the circuit court
of Wright county month ago
against Mrs. Pool.
In listing the debts due the
firms, Mrs. Pool states that be-
sides the creditors given, various
notes bear her name and the

one of which is due her husband,

Switchboard Ordered From the

The advance made in electrici-
ty as applied by man to illumina-
ton, power, and the transmission
of the human voice over great
distances, by means of wires, dur
ing the period of ten years fol

illustration of the saying, PRO
gress advances by leaps" and
probably has never been equaled
in modern history.
1t is recognized fact that
America has been a leader in the
development of the telephone, but
on the other hand, the telephone
has made pssible many of tlie re
suits of American enterprises
which have been the admiration

From the nature of things; the
average telephone user does not
learn as much about the great
telephone system he employs
daily as does the traveller about
the railway system over which he
makes his journey. For that rea-
son, perhaps the ignorance of the
elderly gentleman who recently
visited one of the great telephone
exchanges in one of the large
cities was pardonable. Upon be-
ing shown through the operating
or switchboard room, he turned
to the chief operator and said,
"Do you know | have always
thought that the telephone ex,
change was a large room, on the
walls of which were hung hun
dreds of telephone Instruments.
and that the operator ran from
one to the other whenever the
bell rang, answering the calls. -
OF course this idea was perfectly
absurd, but it is the picture Of the
telephone exchange that is the
most frequent in the minds of the
average telephone user. What
this visitor actually saw was a
room, along the walls of which
ran switchboard several feet in
length. Operators were sitting
quietly before the board, all busi-
ly at work, yet speaking into their
transmitters before them in
voices little above a whisper.
The telephone exchange is well
called the nerve-center of our
telephone system. today. When
people began to realize the possi-
bilities of DIR. Alexander Graham
Bell s invention, it was simply the
means of communicating between
two points, with no conception OF
an arrangement whereby more
than two telephones could be con
nected together. OF course, it was
not long before Yankee genius
turned his mind to devising a
means of connecting 1.-The wire
running between Mr.. Smith s and
Mr.. Jones' telephones, land the
wire connecting Mr. Brown S
with Mr.. Whites, and in 1877, or
only about year after DR.. Bell
had exhibited his interesting toy,
as it was then called, the first tele-
phone switchboard was construct

Aviation at Hartville

Wright County Fair, to be held at
Hartville, Oct. IA, Is and 16, has
at a big expense contracted with,
the largest and most reliable con-
Germ in the flying business, the Cur

last two days of the fair-Oct. Is

witness these sensational, death
daring, nerve-tingling aviation fetes

led black and the other red. Turn
ing the crank on the side of your
telephone causes this little ball to
roll, showing the red side through
an opening in the front of the
switchboard. The operator plugs
one of her cords into a small
opening directly beneath this
signal, which automatically places
her in communication with your
telephone, and, at the same time,
restores the signal so that the
black surface is exposed in place
of thelred, which shows that the
call has been answered.
1t is expected that the new
switchboard will render very
high grade of service. The West
ern Electric company, who fur
nished the switchboard, are the
manufacturers and suppliers of
all the Bell Telephone equipment
throughout the country, and have
made the furnishing of this appar-
atus their speciality for over thir-
ty-five years, which is an assur-
ance that the company using their
apparatus is securing the very
best that can be produced, and
that the apparatus will give the
very highest class Of service at all
times.
1t seems fitting here to say a
word regarding the class of peo-
pie who at the present time are
being benefited more by DIR. Bell s
invention than any others. We
speak now of the American far
mer. The telephone has made a
marvellous change in his life. His
property is better protected than
was ever before possible; his fam
lily is more comfortable and more
safely situated, and his amuse-
ment and recreation are many
times increased. We no longer
hear of the terrible isolation of
the farmers family. Nobody with
telephone needs to be, or indeed
can be, isolated.
All the telephone companies
throughout the country are max
ing great strides toward furnish
ing telephone service through the
rural districts, and the farmer
who now has his house "telephon-
ed" is not considered splurger,
but is simply getting up to the
times.
