A Gard to Owners
of Rural Telephone Lines

We are anxious to that all lines owned by
other parties and connected with kept in such
condition to furnish efficient service Where the
owners of rural lines responsible for their upkeep

recommend that every line connected with US be
overhauled at least year. and that least one

GERMAN STRATEGY AT

London Experts Assume Teut0ns are Fnheavoring to Tempt Allies to
 Premature Offensive.

London, March 25.--It is generally assumed fin military qua.ters that apart from natural desire to cap- ture the posit on of Verdun, the Ger mans are endeavoring, by a seues of attacks of varying intens ty at this and other points, to tempt the allies into partial and premature offens- i've.
 Apparently General Joffre is by no means disposed to oblige the Germans in this respect, for it is reported that one of his characteristically lacon C messages has been passed down the lines advising all and sundry to "sit tight
 Such message would indicate that a break through by the Germans is no longer to be feared. Thus the need of embarking precipitately upon vast offensive operations that had not been timed to beg Il just yet is now obviat- ed.

How To Choose A Wife.

If your income is limited, don't

and finding excuses for you to
spend more money than you can
afford, 10 the advice Irene Wet
son gives young men. Such wo-
man will never be content with
what you provide her with. Mat
ry her and you will live to find that
shortness of money will not be
your share in life, but it will lead
to more trouble than anything
else, for mundane as it may seem.
there are more marriages brought
to ruin through financial troubles
than any other.
Don't marry a woman who af-
fects to despise domesticity and
who boasts of having a mind that
is superior to the affairs of the
kitchen and the nursery. She
may be smart, but she is pretty
certain not to run we'll in double
harness. Far better leave such a
woman to enjoy her intellectual
pursuits, and choose instead a girl
who is not ashamed to confess that
she made a dress you admire. that
she cooks her fathers dinner and
manages the housekeeping allow.

| But on the other hand, don't
run away with the silly idea that
because a girl has to work to keep
herself that she will make bad
wife.
1t is by no means the girl who

rounded by comforts, that makes
the best wife. You will find thai
