THE PRESS AND STANDARD, WALTERBOR O.«. C. JAN. 22,1913. Give Thin Wen:an Firt»t Prize an an EnveMmpper. In the current issue of Farm and Fireside a telephone expert, writing nfcoat the v&e of the :e:epiione in rural communities, te::s the follow ing story about a farmer s wife: “People who w’ould normally think !t a disgrace to eavesdrop or spy on their neighbors seem utterly with out conscience when the telephone is in question and will rush te the Instrument every time the beHs ring, whether it is thqir call or not. As an evidence of the extreme to which it can be Carried,' I well remember a case where lor some unanown rea son the bells beyond one of the, sta tions seemed in constant trouble; one ♦'me they would operate perfectly, five minutes later they would ring so faintly that it was hard to dis tinguish the call; the manager was on the verge of prostration, as he l)ad gone over the line a cozen times trimmed every tree that could pos sibly have been in the way, adjusted bells, in fact done everything he could think of. In despair he came to me and told ne h'.s troubles, I suggested that we drive out to the last ‘good’ station and, to his sur prise, asked him if he uac cared walk in without rappiug; ne said hd could, and the two of us entered very unexpectedly, the telephone be ing in the kitchen at the oat a of house. The picture we found was to say the Jeast, amusing: the gqod house-wife, in her craze not to miss anything actually^ rigged up a clamp to hold tht receiver on the back of a rocking chair and spent her leisure time in comfortably listening to eve ry word that went over the line. She had even gone so far as to de vise a method of opening the pri mary circuit on her own instrument so that the batteries wouiu not run dov n v . This is an extreme case, but shows how far some ftftfcs can go. The remedy, just plain common de cency and honesty, a by-law author izing the manager to take out any telephone whose user is guilty of »uch dishonesty and a manager with backbone enough to do his duty.” Mrs. W.
