RURAL PHONE LINES
ARE NOT CONTROLLED
Uncle Sam Has Not Extended His
Management Over the Farm
er's Phones.

Contrary to general belief Uncle
Sam has not taken over control of
the rural telephone lines in Polk
county. So far as the federal govern
ment is concerned the farmers lines
have no official recognition, but are
permitted of course to connect with
the regularly controlled lines. This
fact was made clearer this week
through the severing Of connection
between Mena central of the South
western Bell company and the COM
munity line leading to Shady. Com
munication between the two points
was stopped it is charged because the
Shady company declined to pay the
increased charge recently fixed by
the government for such connections.
By the Shady line disconnecting with
Mena the telephone in the forest re-
serve, now has no way of reaching
the county seat, which lack is proving
a source of inconvenience to those
who have been using the reserve
line. Manager II. w. Roberts of the
Southwestern company, states that
all Of the other IL rural companies
connecting with Mena, have continu-
ed their connection despite the in
creased price.

Although for long time Donna lisa.

Pancho Cueto, her administrator, was
robbing her, she had never mustered
courage to call him TO a reckoning
Nevertheless, De Castano's blunt accu-

needs, served to fix her resolution, and

Cueto was plainly curious to learn
why he had been sent for, but since
he asked no questions. his employer
