FEW SIMPLE RULES IN %.
CARING FOR FARM PHONE n.
WILL AVOID rRoUsLE

No one is more dependent on the
telephone than the farmer. unless it Is
the farmers wife, and when the rural
telephone gets out Of order it is a
calamity. for it means isolation from
town and neighbors. This condition
often lasts for weeks simply because
Of lack of knowledge as to the care
of the telephone or because of neglect.
Ey following q few rules nearly all
such Inconvenience may be avoided,
says the associate professor Of cleo
Il ical engineering at Iowa State Col
lege.
/. Keep the telephone clean inside
and out. Dust and moisture permit
current leakage between wires and
make conversation less clear.
2. Do not remove rnouthpiece from
tIansmitter. 1t is carefully designed
to feed the sound waves to the trans
mitter diaphram most effectively.
3. Do not leave the receiver off the
switch hook when telephone Is not in
use. II ruins the dry batteries.
4. If the telephone fails to operate
" GA w IAol JoI VI pooiN - AHAc VISA
DO no good. but may break delicate
part. r. 49,.
5. II the crank will not turn easily,
do not force it. 1t is probably due to
a ground on the telephone line and
forcing it is likely to injure the gen.
orator.
& The telephone line should be well
insulated with glass insulators, kept
clear OF the ground and in particular
should not touch branches or leaves OF
trees. else it will be impossible to talk
in wet weather.
I. Pay the central office the small
Zee. in addition to switching charges,
to cover the cost Of maintaining the
telephone and line. The attention Of
a trained lineman will make good
service possible all the time.

ficult task, and that it is up to every
one individually TO get out and make
our gravel day success measuring
up well with what has been done
around Eagle Grove, Ottumwa, and
other places in the state.
The farmers have shown the right
spirit in this movement, and have
proved that they are the right sort. AL
most to a man they want good roads,
and want to cooperate with every one
that will cooperate with them TO make
a showing on the 21st and 22d. Many
of them have already promised to come
out with their teams, and spend the
Hay hauling gravel and building roads.
Every onS will take his lunch along.
and ali will eat together. either at the
gravel pits or along the road. Hot COT
fee and rolls will be furnished.
On Tuesday we will take the road

HOUSE BEES IN MEAT COOLER.
Crawford County Farmer Thus Pro-
vides Winter Bee Home.

"A meat re1rlSeratOr Dy any OtHet
name will be as air tight" thought H.
II. Chapman. farmer Of Crawford coun-
ty living three and half miles south :
west of Vail. And so, a year ago, he
bought big one second hand from
Vail butcher and called IL bee cellar.
Last winter that refrigerator. instead
of housing quarters of beef. was hous-
ing quarters of bees. fifteen colonies OF
them And ii was success. accord
ing to reports received at Iowa State:
College. 3a
Not only did Mr.. Chapman not lose
one colony thru the winter. but every
colony OF the fifteen came out next
spring vigorous, healthy. thriving. And
this is not to be wondered at. for the
walls Of a cooler, built TO retain cold
air. can also keep II out just as effec-
lively.
Mr.. Chapman's method was TO pack
the refrigerator with six inches of saw
Gust, place it in an old house near the
barn. open the doors of the house dur
ing the warm part Of the day for ven-i;
tilation and close them during the
night. At no time during the winter
did the temperature of the interior ct
the refrigerator go below freezing.

accepted the challenge.
The field chosen was on the Sture
Sandholm farm, north Of Evergreen
cemetery. and the time limit for the
contest was agreed upon as two hours
The news soon spread that the race
was ON, and nearly fifty people from
Red Oak went out to watch It. Inc
corn had fallen badly in the field. but
Mr.. Hawley made record Of twenty
three bushels and forty pounds in two
hours. winning over his opponent by
two bushels and ten pounds. Mr.. Haw-
