Is Now Put Down As One Havhig No Manners. Sreeaebere Daily News. Are yea the person who start telephone oeaversatie with "Who is rhat?" Are you? If se, ean it be that you are labor mg nader the impression that yeu have a sufficient amount of courtesy, geed breeding, culture, for aH occa sions? Well tkat is not the impression yeu give to people with whom yea talk through the telephone. They will be generally found willing to admit the possibility, however, that you kave never thought much about it. Suppose a stranger ehould come in- te your office, or your parlor, and de mand of you insistently, "Who are yeu ?" without presenting his card, er furnishing any information about himself?" When you have put in a call and tke person with whom you wish te speak adivises you that, he is ready and listening, it seems the most di- reut method to be begin: "This is ISIS, John Smith and Cobpany, Smith speaking. I would like te speak to Mr. William Jones if I may All is clear; William Jones' clerk, or William Jones, knows exactly what would be known of you had entered the Jones place of business and pre sented your card. On the other hand doee it not roil yea, or give you the impression of in selenoe or lack of manners, to pick up your instrument, after hearing the bell ring, and get an abrupt, stac cato Who is That?" hurled full and fair right into the midst ef year thoughts ? Many of the crudities and mack of the coarse manners of telephone con versation are disappearing, by reason of eur acceptance of the new device, and the improvements in the meehan- and the service. Few people now, we fancy, pour sarcasm er werse into the ear of the young woman at een- 1. She has been regularly blamed fer the imperfections of the device all through the period of its evolution, as these perfections have been grad ually worked out often she has beea treated as if she were personalty re sponsible for these mechanical imper fections. Where as a matter ef fact she hasn't had anything te de with them. She hue had a terrible time ef it; but surely there are new few persons who give vent to their own ir ritation by trying to be as disagreea ble' as possible to the operator. Seme ef the booriahnees remains; bat it must be approaching the vanishing point. The business has reached that stage now where we must be as gentlemanly, or as ladylike, in tele phone conversation, as observant of the niceties, as in company, or per sonal visitation. Because, when we use the telephone, our manners are, one can hardly say on exhibition, but n evidence, for critical examination.

And although aaaay ef the alder people could not see the advan tage of voting bonds to the value ef (50,000 in each township for bwfldiag good roads, yet the measnre earrred by a safe majority. You can observe many improve ments throughout the whale county and especially in the two axea town ships on account of the geed roads that are already completed. Maay people in the other "six Uwaudtips of the county were skeptical abecat the good roads lasting year after year aad standing up to hard traffic daring had winter weather. But the jaaravad sand-clay rands have steed the aaid test of bad winter weather aad have come through in fine coadMea, with the result that thoee who were oaee "kickers" have actually become awed roads advocates. Just the other day a Oatawba eesa- ty farmer sail: "If theyV build a good road out my way, PI net only give them the right ef way through my farm, but all the top soil they need and some cash beaidea." It is wonderful what influence such a stretch of good roads has on people who once vehemently opposed their construction. To such people you can argue good roads till blue in the face and it won't have near the effect that several drives over an improved road has after driving through 10 inches of mud on the old roads. The principal roads are improved first. They are first surveyed and if a four per cent, grade ean not easily be obtained, the road is relocated at places. When the grading is finished, a 15-inch layer of sand or top soil is placed in the center sloping gradually to the side ditches. In this simple way a hard surface is maintained, for during every rain all the water runs into the side ditches at once. During the worst weather of winter, these improved sand-clay roads remain firm and hard, makings a most excellent highway at a very moderate cost. In traveling along these improved roads, it is astonishing to see how the people are seeking to improve their property. They are painting houses that never saw paint before, making a neat yard before the houee contain ing grass, flowers and trees; in short, they are making great improvements. A writer in one of the papers says be is safe in saying that fully 90 per cent, of the people along these improved highways have installed a telephone, thus giving greater coa venience and pleasure. There hr, also greater pride in keeping aha branofc er aide roads in better rtaiatiia with the ftptit-log drag.
