They report an excellent time. The telephone wires were connected with Adel the middle of the last week and now we can converse with the wide wide world within the confines of Dallas county. For the benefit of those who may be a little timid or bashful about using the phone we hand out those pointers- In the first places don't take down the receiver while the line is already in use. It breaks the circuit and rutlles the temper of those using the wire. When you have a call, approach the phone calmly, with firm stop.

Do not say "how de do" but give a -'hello" drawn out in your blandest tones. It will not bo necessary for you to make a bow. Your intentions for courtesy sake may bo of the best but the other follow can't see you. Hold Lhe receiver to your ear, wink natural and talk as usual. Don't shout, it's liable to burst the speaking tube, then it clogs up the wires so that the words get to the other end all scrambled up.

Second use of the phono will bo perfectly natural to you and the other follow will detect no tremolo in your voice. Lastly don't forget to pay your toll for using the wire. It's necessary to grease the insulators with to keep the ideas from getting wound up. DE SOTO. (Kroiu Uiu Mrs.
