Let Us Give Figures Findley St., Punxsutawney, Penn'a. DRUMMOND CYCLE CO. Denton, Pa., Sept. 12, 1908. Editor Spirit:—An article appeared 11 the Indiana Progress some time ago, mtten by the Indiana Telephone Company. Out of all due respect for the ompany I thought the article called for . reply from the Farmers' Independent Vlephone Company, and therefore I vish to state, as briefly as possible, the ituation as we understand it. It is hardly necessary to state that the 'armer's Independent Telephone Coin>anv was chartered less than two years igo, and from a few miles of line the ompany then owned it has grown to >ver LHK) miles t>f telephone lines, and he lines are increasing daily, as if the ompany was just in its infancy. The lorthern and eastern portions of Indiina County are being honey-combed vith telephone lines, as well as .Jefferon County. Lines are being built in Mearfield, Cambria and Armstrong 'ounties. We have arranged with the Armstrong Telephone Company a sysem of free exchange whereby we have ree use of their entire system, including vittanning. We also have an office at j 'unxsutawnev. with prospects of a sysein being established at that place. After »ur company received its charter a year igo last March, and was organized, the i lie directors of the company met with epresentatives of the Indiana Telephone 'ompany for the purpose of trying to i ir range a free exchange with* them, fhey would not entertain the idea. The j cry best terms our directors could se- : ure for the company was that we could \ lave Indiana as a pay exchange of 10 i ents, and the balance of their entire ystem to pay full toll, and in addition ve had to give to the Indiana Telephone Company our entire system free. We hought it was not just or right to our sompany, yet it was the very best terms J >ur company could secure at that time; am informed that the patrons of the . ndiana Telephone Company are | barged an additional exchange of 101 sents for the use of our lines, which we [ave their company free. It was then lecided by the Farmers' Independent ppcphone Company and quite a nuiu)er of the citizens of Indiana town to extend our line to Indiana and put in a lystem there. We tried to secure the ranchises of the town but the council lemanded a bond to be put up by the farmers' Indepent Telephone Company I or $20(X). We thought this an extorionate demand. Nevertheless the com- j >anv put up the bond as required. A )ortion of the citizens of Indiana town lut up an equal amount to protect the ompany ami guaranteed the company hat they would put in a system and ah exchange there. We as a company uive given our word, and we are iii lonor bound to stand by them in the »vork as they have given assurance both j lOlid and otherwise that thev will fulfill heir part of the contract. It' this bond vas forfeited and it would become, lecessary hereafter to secure like fran-j •hises for the company, would any one j hink for a moment that the council I .vould readily grant another? Out of ill due respect to the officers -of the Iniiana Telephone Company in making he Farmers' Company so generous a jroposal one year ago, thev would not ntertain a proposition of the kind. Now, after the company had com-1 >lied with all requirements of Council, i net all obligations, and the citizens of ndiana making all preparations to put ' n the system and exchange there, and livisions not yet belonging to the rarmers' Independent Telephone Com>any knocking af the door for admitance at Indiana town, and provisions ould be made to take care of those i ines only through and bv the Farmer'* ndependent Telephone Company, does; my person think for a moment that the ompany would be doing its duty by ibandoning their fellowinen? We wish o be at all times on friendly terms with he Indiana Telephone Company as veil as nil other companies, yet we lave a work to do and duties as a com>anv to perform and maintain. The principles of the company we hink are right and just. The system an be improved on by establishing j >usiness wires all over our company's ines where it may be necessary for the of the company and its* patrons)) itid other Improvements that may be necessary, and have no doubt it will be ione at our next annual meeting of directors of the different divisions. And in years to come each and every member of the company, who may assist in the work, if living, can look with pride to the Farmer's Independent Telephone Company, whose principles are equality and justice to all, and special favors to_none.

"I noticed in me pnper this mornin' that Mr. Peerv lms organized another poaae to go in search of the North Pole agin," said the first speaker. "Well, suppose he finds it," said Pat, "what will the gintleman do with the big shillalah?" Well," said the first speaker, "I don't know meailf, but it would save the counthrv a big expinse if the gintleman would bring the pestiferous saplin along hoorae wid him. The following conversation took place in front of the .Spirit office last Thursday evening between two Irishmen who were discussing the Peary expedition to reach the North Pole; The Dayton Pair. Uncle Rube. The question propounded by Job, "If a man die, shall tie live again?" ia probably the moat important of any ever propounded to man, and yet less interest ia taken in ita solution |than there ia in the price of money, atocka and bonds. What riddles, what enigmas we are! If there ia no auch thing as luck or chance, why ia it, then, that no matter what business enterprise some men engage in they alwaya succeed, while with others almost everything they take hold of ia like the apples of the Ked Sea, which tarn to ashes at the touch? The President's late addreas at Syracuse is simply a broad, national and world-wide application of the Golden Rule, and if put into practice would make this earth almost a Paradise.
