A Card to Owners
of Rural Telephone Lines

We are anxious to see that all lines owned by
other parties and connected with kept in such
condition as to furnish efficient service Where the
owners of rural lines responsible for their upkeep,
we want to cooperate with them.
All lines require thorough overeauling occa-
sionany if the best service is to be obtained We
recommend that every line connected with US be
overhauled at least year. and that at least one
experienced telephone assist in this work. The
cost of this work when divided among all patrons
of the line, makes the amount paid by each man
SMALL and this cost will be than offset by the
improved service.
If the owners of rural telephone lines in this Sec
ton are experiencing trouble with their service,
will appreciate their talking the matter with
Manager or writing us fully. We will gladly do
what we can toward helping you improve the con-
dition of your line.

Jonesport village was visited by an
other fire Thursday morning when
DR.. Marcus Hambleton's dwelling
house was burned. The alarm was
given at A. NJ. by telephone and soon
the Underwood factory whistle awak-
ened most Of the people. A desperate
fight was made to save the house by
means of fire extinguishers and a
bucket brigade. 1t seemed for a time
that the fire was being put out, but
because Of a lack Of ladders and men
who could fight fire the house was
after an hour and a half enveloped in
flames. A part of the household goods
were saved ir a badly damaged con-
d;tion. The loss is estimated at $500;
insured for $500.

another town meeting next Thursday

Denver.-William A. Sharpe, a. me-

he says, can fly, run, swim and dive.
1t is designed to carry four passen-

propellers.&' y + }ss<, S, ri n
Sharpe is flfty.two years old and a

He is constructing his new combi-

the ground with the smoothness and
swiftness of racing automobile or
shoot into the air with the perfect
equilibrium and ease of swallow, and
be poised there; navigate the ocean
with the speed of a motor boat, or can
be used as submarine. 1t is designed
to attain a speed Of from 80 to 300
miles an hour, carrying 1000 pounds
for each 1000 pounds weight of the
car. There are four wheels on the
car, and in each wheel there are four
propellers. The entire vehicle is built
Of pressed steel and aluminium. ~ *
