STATE LINE NEWS
HeaIthfuiness


Last week we wrote regarding our
attractiveness, as compared to the
tests that every town should make,
and this week we write regarding our
nealthfulness by the same compari-
,on. Probably we are better fortified
rom the standpoint of healthfulness
han in any other way. Here we have
the pines to create that balmy and
most refreshing Of all air. We have
the many lakes with which to pre-
serve the correct amount of moisture
and the drinking water is perfectly
pure, regardless of where well may
De sunk. Thre are absolutely no bad
.,wamps which could contaminate our
water supply. In the winter, ordlnarl-
w. we have mean temperature
which means less of changeable
weather The thermometer will regis
GER about the same degree the winter
through. Consequently we are less
apt to catch colds, coughs, and lung
troubles. Only weather which changes
from warm to cold or vice versa, and
weather which is moist one day and
dry another day creates the chance
of sickness. Our altitude here is high
and dry rather than low and moist.
When the epidemic of influenza was
raging throughout the country not
one case was had here. There has
been very little demand for doctors
here, from standpoint of sickness.
This winter a doctor was needed
more so than other winters, because
the winter has been out of the ordi-
nary-warm one day and cold the
next. We do not have the congestion
one would find in the larger places,
and we have not the dust germs here
that would be found in more longest
ed places, When we have cleaned up
our streets and our back yards, and
made the place attractive, we will
have also brought our town up to the
very highest degree of healthfulness.
Anent the Telephone
A very timely article appeared in
this paper last week regarding the
need of telephone connection with
the smaller towns within the county
as well as among the farmers ada
cent thereto. We fully believe the
business men of Eagle River should
be more than willing to meet this
project half way. There are some
things, from the standpoint Of rela-
tionship between the trading centers
and other parts of the county, as well
as the get together spirit Of appreci-
alton that means more than mere
matter of profit in dollars and cents
We believe Phelps is already con-
nected with Eagle River through the
Bell system But we do not believe
Conover is and we know this place
is not. Up to this time, it could hard
ly be expected we would be so con-
lected, for the only telephone system
in vogue is a few private lines. How
ever, several enterprising citizens
feel that real telephone system is
low necessity, and movement is

With Our Neighboring Towns

now in progress to create a regular
| system. When this has been compile
ted there is no reason why we should
not have telephone connection with
Eagle River and then to other points.
At the present time the only connec-
ton with the outside world is through
the telegraph, and this only during
the hours of the day A doctor may
be needed at night, in hurry. Some
times business demands attention
when the telegraph is not available,
and there are many other advantages
to enjoy when telephone connection
is had We honestly believe that it
is the duty of the business and pro-
fessional men of Eagle River to ar
range their end of this matter SO that
after State Line has installed it's local
system and extended to Conover and
they have done their part there, the
line can be extended all the way to
the county seat. 1t is unreasonable
for them to believe they will be per-
mitted to sit idly and permit the
farmers of the smaller towns to do
all the building of the line and then
expect to enjoy the same share Of
patronage as now. With the install
Iation of these systems it is going to
demand better feeling of relation
l. oh !,
and those who are willing to do their
part are the ones who are going to
reap the reward. Appreciation, recip-
rocation and good fellowship are the
fundamentals that make for commu-
nifty betterment, whether it is ap-
piled to the small or the large town.
