Farm Telephones. In a previous editorial, we palled the attention of the farm ers of our county to the impor tance of having telephones ex feuded into their homes and .communities. We want to give you here two extracts from well known newspapers published in a sister Slate wlpoh will em phncise our position iu this mat ter. Tuere is no question in our . mind as to the prime importance ot our ci linens ip the rural dis ' tricts taking up this matter Promptly, and acting upon the ideas sulfas ted.

J 'The question of rural tele phonic communication' has as sumed large proportions. The| lime has come for- fanners to realize the great benelits that| would result to them by the es? tublishiuciit of rural telephone lines that would put each in direct communication not only with Ins ueighbors, but with the nearest towns and villages in his section. Rural telephonic com munication and the honey comb ing of the rural districts with trolley liues, will do a great deal towards relieving the isolation | that now exists iu an agricul tural life and a great deal to wards making the lives of the farmers more pleasant, and satis factory. Iu uddition to this, by keeping iu close touch with the outside world, the agricultural classes will be able to enjoy many of the benelits of city life, and at the same time preserve to themselves the manifold ad vantages of country life. The matter of rural telephones is being widely exploited, and its advantages are no longer ex perimental; actual practice has proved that a trial in rural com munities soon renders it ?? ne cessity. We are glad touotoj that a movement is on foot to establish more rural telephone] systems in this section, it is a most admirable movement and can hardly fail to succeed if be gun and operated along proper lines. " Time to Call a Halt. Supremo Justice David J. Brewer recently iiKlced the chair man of the appropriation com mittee iu the house of congress ] why it was that this nation had not paid off any of its billion dot l<tr debt in I he last ten years. Ho received this reply: "In the last ton years the total appropriations for thoarwy jvecw1 eight hundred and nineteen million dollar*. Of coiyso, I omitted giving anything but round ligures. This in ejtclusivc of pen lions. For the prior ten years the appropriations wore only two hundred and forty-five mil lion dollars. During the last ten years the appropriation for the l navy wero eight hundred and I ninety seven million dollars, the ten years prior two hundred and sixty two million dollars, or no excess in the appropriations for the army and navy during the last ten years over the prior ten years of one billion, one hundred and nineteen million dollars That is why wo have uot paid the national debt. " Tlio bugbear of war, and the war spirit and the army aud navy aristooracy are yoarly plunging this nation more and Qjore. inter the .class of army ridden Europe.

The Spirit of Chii*tmnn. Yet, after all, as Christmas daw us a change does eo.ne over men. It. steals upon t hem gradu ally, taking them us it were, by surprise. Their steps grow light, they wallf briskly, laugh even, and have a cheery word for each other. Somehow the streets for that one daj; seem suddenly'to swarm with happy people. Everybody has become tolerant, sympathetic, the grouchiest man in town has become agreeable, the hardest creditor lenient, the severest judge merciful. There is tune for reconciliation; for forgiveness and kiudly feeling toward all the world. It is seen, indeed, that a miracle has taken place, a miracle of great mys tery and beauty. The hearts of men are full oT love, and in their unrestrained mirth tied luuirhior they have become somewhat like the little children. Why is this? What has hap pened? Can the mere printing of a calendar with a certain day in red figures do it? Can any mere superstition have lasted so long, display such remarkable vitality? Can any sentiment, ev?u though it be universal, ac complish so much? No, it is not that; it is because, for whatever reason, men have . suddenly con centrated their thought on the great idea that Jesus brought into the world; whether they think He brouirht it from heaven or found it on I he plains of Juried does not matter; men everywhere are dwelling on it, and from their united hearts have sent lorth a wave of lovo that rolls around the world, and, for jMlay; at least, , the brotherhood of man bus come to pass. Who needs an introduction to spoirlc to a stranger on Chr:stiiias eve? What (I i Iterance does it make on Christinas morning if the man doos belong to another party or to another economic class? Who cares whether ho is in society? Wiio looks down upon him be cause he is poor? Suppose he is a criminal, in or out of jail, what of it? lie is seon to oo a man, a human being, just like the rest of us, though perhaps with greater sorrows and greater temptations than our own. Men have risen above such things; they havo heard for an instant the angels' song; for an instant! their faces havo glowed with a new and wonderful light, and they have turned to each other with brotherly greeting's on their lips.?

The mass meeting of citizens, called by Representatives Smith and Richards for November 17lh to discuss the matter of jrood roads, was held as advertised. It was very slimly attended, which perils: ps accounts for the fact that practically nothing was accomplished. The meeting was presided over by- Supervisor West, who called up one after the other the members of the several hoards of township commissioners for an expression of opinion as to the proper way by the adoption of which we .could secure ?;ood roads. Much difference of opitt ion was evidenced, all however seeming to think that our roads should bo worked on ti:e con tract system. Supervisor West declared the regular business oT the meeting closed after ?.rivtnir the audiauce considerable data, gathered during his incomhency. Messrs. Smith and Richards made brief addresses, and we are informed that the meeting was adjourned, the citizens leav" in# it to the wisdom of our legislators to tind a wa v tint, of the present tangle.
