For the manner in which the 1913
Roundup was handled and the splen-
did manner in which
Congratulations. the visitors were
cared for while here
President Taylor and all the directors
Of the association are entitled to
strongest congratulations and thanks.
The show this year, with the ex-
ception Of the first day, was beyond
question the most satisfactory show
ever held. both from a standpoint Of
entertainment and attendance. 1t was
a whirlwind performance from start
to finish and was staged in a fault
less manner. This is the concensus OF
opinion of all who saw it.
To accomplish the results obtained
required the hardest sort Of work and
planning; it required zeal and loyalty
on the part of the directors and cordial
cooperation. The success of the
Roundup was due 10 the efforts OF
no one man but of all the directors
and Of the hundreds of others who as
sisted the show in one capacity or an
other. The Roundup is not one
man show and never can be such. 1t Is
too big for that The show is made up
OF many elements each with man at
the head and all working together
like clock. AS long as this spirit OF
eagerness, loyalty and cooperation
can be maintained among the direc-
tors and between the directors and the
people Of the community and as long
as the high clean standards observed
thus far are maintained the Round
un win continue to be the worlds
greatest outdoor show.

RURAL PHONE LINES IN STATE

The growth of the telephone bust
ness in this country is simply mar
velous, According to the Philadelphia
Press, which has been gathering some
world statistics. the United States leads
all other nations in the use of the
hello machines" That paper says:
Among the many Indications of the
American determination to get there
nothing stands forth more prominently
than the development of the telephone
system in this country America is far
in the van of nations in this regard.
The report just issued by the American
Telegraph and Telephone Company
shows daily average of 26.000, 900
talks over the wire for the past year.
This is more for the day than in Eng
land is registered for a. whole twelve
month In the latter country the Is, 600
stations established come well under
the tenth of the number added here
last year. making up, the total of over
100000 stations belonging to one
company. Another way OF putting it
is that there are more towns, cities
and hamlets on this continent whence
telephone messages can be sent than
there are stations in use within the
British Isles. Allowing for the vast
difference in territory, we are far
ahead as to telephone equipment and
usage within any given space.
Nur|ciOuS Growth.
Considering that half a century has
not passed since the inauguration OF
the telephone, this increase is little
less than astounding. 1t is as difficult
to imagine what we should do without
this nimblc messenger as to picture
to ourselves the effect of barking back
to the old stage coach and pony eX-
press. by the minute and through all
hours of day and night conversation
in this land of magnificent distances is
made almost as easy as it would be if
we all lived under one roof What
more striking comment could be made
upon the achievements of twentieth
century civilization?
Not only is this system for public
use. but contrary to the notion COM
monty entertained, it is practically
owned by the public Less than per
cent of the shares are in the hands of
brokers' The larger portion of this

extent may be judged from the fact
that there are three telephone stations
to one telegraph office. and 10000 less
railroad stations in the entire country
than there are places that may he
