To Make a Cheap Telephone
Seeing a query some lime since
as to the best method of making a
cheap telephone, and no answer as
yet, 1 will give mine. 1 have used
it for years on aline one-half mile
long and see no reason why it will
not work on longer lines. Talks
very loud and distinct. Take a
piece of lumber, pine or any kind
handy, eight by eight inches square
and two inches thick, or one and
three-quarters inches thick. Make
a round hole about one and one-
half inches in diameter iii center
clear through. Ream this out on
front and make it funnel Bhape to
about three inches at front. Then
turn the board over, lay off a
square about four iches around the
auger hole. Take chisel and dig
out all the square at least one-
eighth of an inch deep. Then
take a piece of thin tin, eight by
eight inches, and tack on to back
of the block right over the ex-,
eavftted square. Punch a small
hole in center of tin, hole size of
small knitting needle. Next take
board eight by eight inches and
one inch thick. Lay off and ex
cavate the four inch square one
side of it same as you did the two-
inch piece. Bore one-fourth or
three-eighths inch hole in center
and then screw on so the square
comes over Bquare on first block
with the tin—diaphragm—between
the dug-out squares. For line use
small insulated wire, hanging it
in cotton or leather loops, avoid
ing short turns or sharp angles.
Run wire through pin hole in the
tin, take a common brass thimble,
punch two holes in end, bring
wire through open and on through
one hole, then back through the
otlier, twisting loose end around
main wire. Pull wire till the
thimble comes up tight against
tin. Stretch wire tight, and you
have a good ’phone. To call lip,
tap on thimble, and it can be
heard all over house at other end.
You can carry on coversation
without getting nearer than ten
feet to ’phono. Try above and if
you have any trouble write to .T.
W. George, Albany, Texas. —

He Was a Real Farmer.
Actress Sues.
Miss Fay Templeton has brought
suit against the Onarga Cigarette
Company, manufacturers of the
ttivoli cigarette, asking $10,000
damages for alleged unwarranted
use of a photograph of Miss
Templeton in an advertisenvuii of
their wares.
"I want to stop them from mak-
leg free with our pictures,” said
Miss Templeton, using the “our”
to exhibit her belief that her ac
tion would also protect other mem
bers of the theatricnl profession.
“I am not a poser nor a stickler
for high and mighty notions. If
nn.y one wants to smoke, let. him
smoke. But these men took a pho
tograph of me in costume for
'The Runaway,’ and without even
asking my permission had an artist
put a cigarette in the fingers and a
little Curl of smoko from the lips.
It was not even courteous, and il
ort'ended the friends I am trying
hardest to make and keep.”
Troy Holder, of Stewart county,
•s said to be making more than a
halo of cotton to the acre on land
fertilised onl} r with sawdust. He
took a big lot of sawdust, let it lay
in his stables a couple of weeks,
and then distributed it over a 20-
acre cotton field. The old farmers
j J f the county predicted failure,
hat the experiment was u great
success.
Life Without Any Waste.
In the Rocky Mountain gold
fields is a mine without a dump,
writes Rev. R. Scott Stevenson, in
New York Observer. Father and
sou opened a vein of ore, and with
some reward for their labor fol
lowed it back into the mountain
until at the end of sixty feet the
ore failed. One day when they
were looking over the desolate
place that once promised to pro
duce a fortune the son said to his
father:
“We’ll try again. It looks like
Ore had burned off a great pillar
of gold, and when it fell it broke
m two, and what we’ve dug out
was the upper end shoved down
the mountain side.”
They climed up 200 feet further,
dug down and found the original
vein, which proved so rich and
pure that no dump was needed,
for there was no waste. A life of
consecration is a life without
waste. God can use all such a
life brings to Him. Every word
spoken in His fear, every act per
formed in the consciousness of
His eye upon you, every service
rendered willingly. He treasures
and rewards. A life of real con
secration is so near to God it finds
and brings to Him only such gifts
and services as He is willing to
receive and bless.
“Oh, yes,” a man in the hotel
lobby was overheard to say. “I’m
a real farmer now. My farm only
costs me about $75 per month
now, so you see I’m getting
along.” Then the man was heard
to comment upon farm labor.
“It’s all right to talk about the
poetry of farm life,” he said, “but
if farm life is poetry I want the
prosiest sort of prose in mine.
Is there any poetry in greasing
harness? Do you find any rhyme
and rhythm in milking a double
jointed, back action cow twice a
day? Well, I guess not.”
“But there’s the scenery,” his
companion interjected, “and the
smell of grain”—
“YeB,” said the amateur farmer
“and the chiggers, and the red
bugs, and holes in the fence, and
rats in the seed corn, and the po
tatoes sprouting. And if you are
through plowing for awhile and
haven’t anything better to do you
fix the wheelbarrow for recreation,
or you can see that the water
trough doesn’t leak too much.
Then if everything else fails and
it’s too rainy to do anything else
you can get out a second-hand kit
j and fix the crupper on the harness
I or nail strips of boiler plate on
I the feed box so that crib eater of
a plug won’t have too many splin
ters in him when he dies. Oh,
you can bet I’m too much of a
farmer to look at the poetic side
of it. I’m a realist farmer; that’s
whatl uui.”—Dallas News.

As the Tramp Explained It.
A man from Mexico, Jaques
Forbes by name, claims to have u
typical mother-in-law, indicted
with that strange and almost uni
versal womanly failing of asking
promiscuous questions.
“It was only a few weeks ago,”
said Mr. Forbes, “that a dilapi
dated-looking tramp, with a long,
strikingly red nose—one of those
all-ablaze noses—applied at the
door of my mother-in law’s home
for food.
“ ‘Sure, said my mother-in-law
in response to his request for food,
I’ll give you something to eat,
but, my good man, won’t you
l phase tell me what makes your
| nose so red?’
j “Not the least objection, mnd-
I mil” replied the tramp. ‘It is
simply blooming with pride that
it doesn’t stick itself into other
people’s business. Good day,
madam.’ ”—Louisville Herald.
The board of education of GiL
met - coiiDty has not complied
with the law by failing to adopt the
school hooks selected by the stato
hoard, but are using much more
expensive books, and Bro Tabors,
of the Courier, is gettiug after
them with a sharp stick. Tlpit's
right. We always like to see a
man on the side of the widow and
orphan- instead of book trusts.
