A Card to Owners
of Rural Telephone Lines

OF NuTdl L oIopIlOIlc Lilies
We are anxious to that all lines owned by,
other parties and connected with kept I'm snchl
condition to furnish efficient service. Where thes
of rural lines responsible for their upkeep
want to cooperate with them.
ALI lines require thorough overeauIing occal
sionally if the best service is to be obtained We
recommend that every line connected with be
overhauled least year, and that at least
experienced telephone assist in this work The
cost of this work when divided among all the 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

will appreciate their talking the matter over with

A WORD ABOUT THE SCOT.
And the influence He Yields All Over
the World.

tno WoTius
Wherever the Scotchman goes he be-
comes a leader. You hear of the Irish
vote, the German vote, the Italian
vote, but you hear only of Scottish
leadership He has had a powerful In
f1uence on our country.
Our first newspaper was published
by a Scotchman; Scot first won In
ternational honors for American let
tiers; the steamboat, telephone, tele-
graph and electric light were devised
by men of Scotch descent The second
college In our land was founded by
Scotch divine; our constitution was
framed and adopted largely by the In
fluence of two Scotch lawyers; our
most majestic orator. our most win
ming politician. our most metaphysical
statesman, our greatest diplomatist
and our greatest poet were of Scotch
lineage. So of many Of our business
captains and railroad magnates, almost
one-half of our presidents and large
proportion of our cabinet members.
judges and governors. Was there ever
such a drain of leadership upon uke
area?
The Scotch have not alone helped
make America, They control Austria
Liza, direct New Zealand, lead Canada
and rule Africa. For centuries Scot
and Briton were bitterest enemies. Ed
inburgh and Paris conspired against
London. The union when 1t finally
came was one of crowns and not Of
hearts. There still turks jealousy un-
der the surface. Write a letter to a
loyal Glasgonian, address 1t North
