and the littleness of some of our
great men makes some of us a-
fraid that in the absence of war

heroes.
But amidst a!l this it is pleasant
to note some beautiful and note-
worthy undertakings that are
being agitated in our dear old
Southland. The I'nele Remus

Chandler Harris has conceived
the beautiful idea, of purchasing
“snap beans" farm and establish
a free kindergarten for dear little
folks who love Pm-le Remus for
liis delightful stories of Brer Fox
and Brer Rabbit and the old
time negro. And this brings us
to another commendable move-
ment among patriotic people that
is. to erect a monument some-

To save time is to lengthen life, ami
the greatest time saver of the age is the [change
telegraph and telephone. According to
the report of the Tax Assessors there
are 27,593 miles of poles over which
telegraph and telephone wires rim in
lexas. This mileage, single wire, is
equal to 430,000 miles, and is sufficient
to encircle the globe eighteen times.
The scientist in giving the farmer im-
proved varieties of products, and the
inventor in giving us machinery that
reduces the cost of production, has per-
formed a great service to the farmer,
but the telephone, warm from the cre-
ative mind of the inventive genius, is
destined to companion in utility and
convenience all human accomplishments

ture. The telephone is the improved oms to the first south wind that
public highway of information and is as ! woos the sad and timid v iolets
valuable to the farmer in selling his
products as good roads are useful in
hauling his products to the market. The
cut below illustrates the farmer phoning
the markets of the world for prices on
his products:
Farmer Phoning Market.
The telephone eliminates time and
space ami enables the farmer to per-
sonally visit the markets and talk with
buyers without the inconvenience of
travel or loss of time.
To talk with the weather man as lie
listens to the clouds whisper their plans
for the future is one of the startling and
valuable uses of the telephone. Advance
intelligence enables the farmer to suc-
cessflilly combat the Frost King and to
shelter his products from the storm and
rain, and the telephone is a powerful
ally of the farmer in dealing with the
elements of Nature. The following cut
illustrates the use of the rural tele-
ohonc in battling with Jack Frost.
