He paid for it when he promised. He
bought more and paid for it. He
now owns about 300 acres of land,
bought from others adjoining, much
of it in the drainage district, and the
best land in the county. He has been
very hard worker, and to our knowl-

industry and honesty. His promises

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-
sionaly 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 man 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 more than offset by the
improved service.
If the of rural telephone lines in this sec
ton are experiencing trouble with their service we
will appreciate their talking the matter with our
Manager or writing us fully. We will gladly do
what we toward helping you improve the con-
dition of your line

WASHINGTON, June 28.-Com- plete reports from Major General Per shing upon the landing of his first expedition in France still were lack ing tonight, and the war department remained silent. The delay may be accounted for by the report that un- sil today General Pershing did not personally visit the American encamp- nent.
 At the navy department reports are awaited from the commander of the convoy that accomplished without a narring incident, so far as known, me of the greatest tasks ever assign ed a naval force.
 There was much discussion today as to when the American frOces will take over a part of the great battle line in France. Whatever plans have been made in this regard are closely guard ed. No official of any branch of the government would admit having any knowledge on the subject.
 In a general way, however, it is known that a considerable period must elapse before they can be thrown into the trenches. Vast problems of stra- tegic campaigns, of political effects to

SUFFRAGE "CONVICTS'' TO BE ENTERTAINED UPON RELEASE;
 POLICE WILL CONTINUE RAIDS

Visitors attending the banquet will be shown two storerooms filled with more than 1000 purple, yellow and white banners, a great pile of poles, yards of muslin and cans of paint the materials for future demonstra- tions.
 Police officials explained today their purpose in arresting women suffrag- ists is as much to protect them against violence of hostile crowds attracted by the propaganda banners, as to pre- vent gatherings which might become unmanageable.
 No date for trial of the 19-women against whom charges are pending has been set. If greater numbers of ar rests are made during the. summer po- lice officials said they would urge i'm position of heavier penalties than the nominal three days jail sentence given the first six women convicted.

be sought, and of supplies and supply lines must be worked out. The men, fresh from the tropics or on the Mexi- can border, must be carefully accli- mated to prevent sickness.
 Admittedly the main purpose of sending the force in the brief period allowed to make ready and get them across was political. It is understood to be the sentimental rather than practical arguments advanced by the members of the French and British commissions which influenced the Washington government in dispatch ing General Pershing and his men.
 The great need of the moment, as explained by Marshal Joffre and his British associates, was to send a force with the flag at once to show the peo- pie of France, straining under the great burden of war, that a friend was at hand.
 There will be no let up to the effort to keep the force now in France fully supplied with every thing an army needs. When other divisions may be sent has not been announced, but the work of making them ready is going ahead day and night in every section of the country.

COLORADO MINERS THREATEN STRIKE
 F PLEA REJECTED

DENVER, June 28.-Miners in he southern Colorado coalfield employed by the Colorado coalfeld employed pany have been called out on strike August unless there is a satisfac- tory settlement of the differences with the company, James F Moran, -presi- dent of District No. 15, United Mine Workers of America, announced to- night.
 q shall give the 30 days notice re- quired by state law to the state in dustrial commission Saturday of our intention to strike" MT. Moran said.
 Officers of the district asked the na- tional officers two weeks ago for per mission to call a strike when J. F.. Welborn, president of the Colorado Fuel and Iron company, failed to at tend meeting called by the miners, who declared they wished to confer in the interest of harmony. MT. Vel born had written a letter to MT. Moran setting forth the company's attitude, but the letter was delayed and action was taken by the miners.
 A telegram from Indianapolis to- night quoted the national board of the miners union as saying they could not authorize a strike, but that such ac- tion was within the power of the dis trict executive board.
 The men complain that under the present method of settling disputes in the Colorado Fuel and Iron company mines the pit boss and the mine super intendent have the final decision. The union demands that there be pit com mittee to hear complaints, and that appeals may be carried to the execu- tive head of the company and to tte president of the United Mine Work

Purdy has been heavily interested in the property many years and expects some day to put them on a producing basis. The mines have shipped many thousands of tons of rich ore and with the trac- ing out of the fault and the sinking of the shaft to new levels ought to again become a dividend payer.

WASHINGTON, June 28.-Women suffragists plan to continue demon stration before the White house or places President Wilson may visit, despite the arrest of 25 women and the jailing of six in the last week, Miss Alice Paul, head of the Woman's party, announced today.
 The police hold to their determina- tion to arrest women attempting to display banners bearing printed ap- peals to the president on charges of obstructing the sidewalk or promoting disorderly gatherings, police officials said.
 Emphasizing their attitude, they ar rested two more suffragists today, Iris Calderhead of Wichita and Eliza beth Stuyvesant of New York, wio were trying to enter a hall where President Wilson was speaking, to dis play suffrage banners.
 Later the women were released without charges being placed against them. kI
 The six women who went to jail yes terday rather than pay fines impol ed in police court for obstructing the sidewalk will be entertained on their release to breakfast at the Woman's party headquarters. From many cities came requests for reservations at the banquet
