The manual training room in the

of Christmas cheer at the present time,
as the boys are making beautifully
painted and sbrigh decorated wooden
toys for little brother Under the able
direction Of Prof. P. p. Stanton, the

are miniature elephants, irafes, bears,
rabbits, parrots, chickens and walking

In order that the students might

Of joints was given the boys, be-

by hand tools. Most of the boys

OVERCOME HIGH
POWER TROUBLE.
LOCAL PHONE COMPANY HAS
REBUILT SOME LINES IN
MILFORD.
EssIG NOW HAS INDIVIDUAL
SERVICE. ENTIRE NEW
CIRCUIT MADE.

Linemen of the New tUlm Rural
Telephone Company are now putting
the finishing touches toaan Important
change on the telephone lines serving
part of the Milford -Essig district,
which, when completed, will add
materially to make the service as
perfect as possible. In order to ar
range the groupings according to
standard practice, it was found neces-
sary to assign new numbers to several
of the patrons. An entire new circuit
had to be provided, and several miles
of new pole lead, besides the replace
ment of numerous poles and cross
arms, was arranged for during the past
two months.
Overcome High Power Trouble.
The greatest difficulty to overcome
in this construction was the disturbance
from the Northern States Power Com.
pany's high tension lead, which is
located just across the highway from
and parallel to the rural telephone
lines for nearly the entire distance of
the eight mile length of the telephone
lead. This high power line disturb
ance has been taken care of by follow
ing carefully prepared plans provided
by the engineering department of one
of the large telephone companies, and
the specifications for the transp osition
of wires were worked out especially for
the particular condition met with in
this instance.
Has Individual Service.
AS result of the changes made nee
sary by the new construction work in
the Milford Essig district, the business
places and private residences in Essig
now have an individual rural telephone
line, the farmer-subscribers who were
connected up with line Is having
been transferred to the new line No.
42-or to line 16.
The New Rural Line.
The new rural telephone line No. AZ
has just IL subscribers, who we're
transferred to it from line 15 The
patrons and their telephone numbers
New Ulm review., 1921-11-23

Two former patrons OF line l5 have
been transferred to line 16. They
are: Ernest Rollof, whose new number
is R1608, and Herman Rolloff, who
now has number RIGA.
Making For Better Service. i.
During the past several weeks the
New Ulm Rural Telephone Company
has been conducting a study of traffic
conditions for use in connection with a
proposed Encouragement of lines and
equipment. The result of these tests
has brought to light another condition
that should be called to the attention
of the telephone subscribers for their
own good.
Many times, every day, telephone
patrons call the wrong number. This
is bad for everybody concerned. If
you have been called out Of bed at, say,
o'clock on a, chilly morning by
wrong number,a' you no doubt were
"madder than a hornet and blamed
''centrali' for it. And the one who
tried to call the right party got mad,
too, because there was delay.
Here's Safe Rule.
Here's safe rule for everybody to
follow in order to avoid calling the
"wrong number: Consult the tele-
phone book. Don't rely on your
memory. You may remember num-
ber perfectly, but it may be someone
else's, and not the one you want. No
doubt, central makes mistakes.
Voices vary in distinctness over the
the telephone and the operator is only
human, after all. If you were to
change places with her for half an
hour, you wouldn't blame her for any
mistakes, whether she really is to
blame or not, It is only when you do
your best to call the right number, and
speak it very distinctly, that you We
done your part. It is then up to the
operator-and in SO cases out of 100
you'll have no kick coming on the
service she gives you. Just try it and
see how it will work out.
Rural Patrons Forgetful.
Rural subscribers very frequently
forget to notify the operator when they

Geneva, the seat Of the League &
Nations, witnessed some fierce fight
ing in the days when the duke *
Savoy sought to destroy its indepenA-
ence with the aid of a contingent 6
Spanish troops.
These mercenaries tried to rush
the defenses at dead Of night but
though some Of them managed to get
into Geneva, not one Of them managed
to get out again. Those who were not
killed in action were afterward BE-
headed.

a Genevan housewife, who had riseS
early to prepare her husbands break
fast, poured a deluge of scalding soup
on to the heads Of the enemy troops
Another relic preserved at Geneva
recalls the little band Of exiles who
worked together there at the transla-
ton Of the Scriptures, known as the
Geneva Bible.
On the eve Of their departure for
England they went in body to the
city fathers, who gave them, as the
records show, honorable license to
depart, together with testimonial
Of the satisfaction we have had In
them, and an exhortatlon to act In
their turn toward foreigners as We
have acted toward them" Then they
all wrote their signatures in the "Livre
des Anglais," or Book of the English,
which is carefully treasured In the
Geneva archives.
Though Geneva for some hundredf
Of years has been sovereign republic,
much of the architectural beauty Of
the modern town is directly due to the
generosity of a one-time reigning
prince, Charles II, duke of Brunswick
Wolfenbuttel.
The duke, who was born in 1907, sue
ceeded at an early age to the throne,
and governed so arbitrarily and cruea-
ly that his subjects appealed to the
German diet, which, after some nego-
tiation deposed him and placed bis
younger brother on the throne After
this Duke Charles, who was very
wealthy, wandered about Europe, max
ing Paris his headquarters. On the
outbreak Of the Franco-Prussian war,
in 1870, he finally settled at Geneva,
where he died in 1873.
He had been an exile from his OWE
land for more than thirty years, and IL
he ever had had any affection for. It,
It had perished during that time; so
he constituted the city Of Geneva his
heir. His will was disputed by his
brother and successor, Duke William,
who demanded the family jewels and
other treasure.
Before the case came into the courts
the duke agreed to compromise, and
the city came in for legacy worth
about four million dollars. This sum,
or considerable portion Of 1t, has
been spent in beautifying the town,
building the quays and the elaborate
Brunswick monument.
