The Rural T elephone A Great
Help to The Farmer*.
There is one who owea his lile to
the telephoue, and Mr. J A. Bond,
who litres eight mi lee from East*
man, Ga , is not slow to ac-
knowledge it. It brought the
doo or to his side in twenty-five
minutes while he was slowly bleed-
ing to death. Yet Mr. Bond says
that when it was first suggested to
have a telephone put in-his house he
was unable to see of wbat yalu*
«uoh an instrument could possible
be to him.
it was some time ago that Mr
Bond’s neighbor# started to
-origanize a tel«y«one line. It was
a oo-operative enterprise, as mosi
rural telephone lines are, and bis
neighbors called on him to try to
induce him to join :u their move-
ment. But they were unable to
persuade Mr Bond a telephone oou d
possibly be ot Hervice to him cu
bis farm.
When h s wife and dagbler heard
of his decision not to have one of
the telephones in his house, of cotrse
t*ie/ were \iry much disappointed.
They finally induced him to have an
instrument put in his home and j in
the oth?r farmers who were organ-
izing the improvement.
The story of the accident Mr.
Bond himself rsLted in his letter to
the district manager of the Southern
Bell Telephone A T elegraph Co.,
at Macon, Ga. In this letter he
said;
•‘Some time ago a farmers’ line
was built in my neighborhood, but
I took no interest in it and didn’t
want a ’pLone. My wife and
daughter were anxious for one and
so to please them I had one put in.
Just a few days after the line was
in operation, 1 had ray arm badly
out in a gin. My daughter itu
mediately called Dr. Herrman at
Eastman, a dl.tanoe of eight miles,
lie was there in 25 minutes after
the accident.
“I feel that I owe my life to the
telephone pi epic and was just as
anxious to give the telephone full
credit for the part it played in lha
resoue. Dr. Herrman’s letter read:
“Wherein a telephone in a
farmer’s houfe aAved hia life.
Mr. A. J. Bond, who lives eight
milee from the city of Kastman,
unfortunately had his left arm
OQtnpletely severed above the • Ibow
in the jaws of his cotton giu. In
less than 35 minutes from the time
of the accident, I was by his side
and bad arrested the heraorrage
which in this time, had almost bled
him to death. A few more minutes
and Mr Bond would have been no
more.
“To the telephone in his hous< ,
and the automobile, heow. his life.
Bringing the doctor near to one’s
home at all hours ot the day and
night is one of the many services the
rural telephone iB called upon to
preform. There have been a great
many cases such as Ml Bond's in
which the timely aid of the tele-
phoue has saved lives or property.
Yet it is to be noted it was the
value of tbe telephone iu pr moling
social life among the farmers of the
neighborhood which so appealed to
Mr. Bond’s wife and daughter and
which was direotly the cause for
l.is having the telephone installed.
Farmers who have the telephone
service now often wood r how they
ever got along without it. The
many instances in which it has
proved useful in everyday f rra life
have caused a tremendous boom in
! the popularity of the rural telephone
The statement is made by the
! Western Electric Company, th~
largest mauufsolursr of telephones
in the woild, that over 100,000 of
its rural telephones have told iu
the past six mouths. This would
seem to indicate that the growth of
tbe rural tel- phogo idea is, if any-
thing, more marked then ever before
All #re next door netclnetr# were

stitution reoeutly expressed it, “the

Judge N. B. McNeil, the democrats
candidate for oongrees, is making a

McGuire. This is a democratic year
and there is no mistake about Judge
McNeil being oar next representative
in Congress-Wave-Democrat August
22nd.
Yes they are always going to “this
time and next.” Every off year they
are going to beat us this time and next,
then keep it. Yes they become en-
couraged by hearing of some c ingress-
man or other officer becoming elected

Bear Rims Loose Hi

A L. Homann Captures the
Said Bear.
* Last Wednesday night A. L.
Homann heard a coinotion at the
rear of his domicile, and when he
went to investigate the cause, was
confronted by a ’ife sized Bear, but
upon closer approach, the animul
became so tame that Mr. Homann
was able to lay hands upon the said
Bear and lead him peacefully out-
side the confines of his (Homann,s)
home, where he was quickly
dispensed of.
Only that the said Pear was a
pencnble and inoffensive Bear, the
whole town would undoubtedly
have turned out to help put him to
death There were several persons
on the scene shortly after the cap-
ture, their fears were dispelled when
A1 described the capture. Every-
body seemed to be perfectly well
satisfied with the explanation, and
went back to their couches, after
seeing that the said Bear was duly
liberated. No harm done.

It seems as though the “Hornet’s

seized upon a quantity of unlawful
goods which were being dispensed
of, contrary to law, and that one of

his revenge out on a certain law
abbkling citizen who is not in
league with “Bootleggers" or un-
civil people who will even try to
break the laws of our state.
We are not in favor of the pro-
hibitory law, but as it is the law, we
will live up to it as best we can,
even if we must shoulder arms and
stand guard at the jail to protect
the laws from “Bootleggers or their
sympathisers, who would like to

as well as anybody, but we wunld
not be so small as to try to injure a

or to come in force as a body of

Well, look out “Bootleggers” and

Oklahoma City—Members of the
democratic county committee of
Oklahoma County have demanded
the removal of the precinct inspect-
ors, all democratic, who were guilty
of perpetrating frauds at the recent
democratic primary in this connty.
Discrepencies were found to such
an extent that a recount of the en-
tire county vote is probable and a
probe by officials is likely to follow.
Miss Blanch Milier, of Isabella, and
Joseph Bales of Okeene, were married
at Enid, on August 12th.
