Every Farm Family Needs The Protection that Only aTeiephone Can Give W. R. PORTEUS, dairy farmer with 225 acres at Portlandville, had an unusual ex- perience some time ago when the telephone probably saved the life of one of his sons. In hoisting an ensilage blower pipe to the top of a silo, a heavy iron pulley at the top broke and fell, striking the head of one son, inflicting a deep cut on his forehead. Hurry calls could not locate a doctor in any of three nearby villages, and Mr. Porteus asked the local operator at Mil ford to find a doctor at once and send him to the farm. The operator located a doctor quickly, and he was at the farm within a few minutes. EDWARD MOAKLER, R.D. NO. 5, Coopers- town, hopgrower with 310 acres under cul- tivation, says he wouldn't be without his telephone because it is a great thing in case of sickness and other emergencies. Then, too, last September, when his first hop pick- ing since 1918 started, he easily obtained ex- tra hands by making a few telephone calls. S. M. ALLERTON, Port Crane dairy farmer, found his telephone handy when a burning barn, some distance down the road, de- stroyed an ele^r.|cs^?QW^r iifle supplying current for his milking and milk cooling apparatus. To avoid spoilage in hot weather the milk cooler must be operated. A call to the power company resulted in the current being restored quickly. • A CCIDENTS do happen, and what a com- J\ fort it is to know that should there be an emergency, your telephone will be handy to protect you, your family and property. You can have this priceless protection for such a little, and with it the everyday help that a telephone gives in carrying on your farm business. We'll be glad to tell you how farmers use the telephone to advan- tage in obtaining latest market information, crop pest warnings, and in many other ways, if you'll drop in at the Telephone Business Office the next time you are in town. \REVENGE IS SWEET' SAY THOMPSON'S BOYS Thompson's soft ball team de- feated St. Agnes by a score of 25 to 11 on the high school cam- pus Thursday evening, July 5th. Thompson's Crackers are fast rounding into condition now and these boys are going to be hard to beat from now on. All the boys socked that pill to all cor- ners of the 1 o t. Especially Frank Erwin who sent some of those terrific line drives through the infield that anyone was un- able to field. The battery, Thompson and MacDonald, sure had a nite on as they completely baffled the St. Agnes team and had them popping them up to the infield for easy outs. Watch for the next game as Manager Thompson has teams booked from Malone, Ogdens- burg, Massena, Potsdam and several other fast organizations.

ADDRESS- CITY L IS GOOD AS SEASON ARRIVES Haying is now in full swing and with it comes varying re- ports of the crop.

LOCAL INTEREST —Miss Lilah MacDonald of mind had either been intoxicat ed by public attention or who had imbibed quite freely in new American style. Apparently, the gentleman had gotton his idea from these motors and chassis which are shown in sales rooms with just the bare facts there faciliating the work of auto salesmen. At any rate, on this afternoon, down and up the street several times raced the ancient relic of one of Henry's first, without radiator, hood, or fenders, fin- nally to be parked in the middle of the street and seek the ad- miration of the populace. In a sense, it could hardly be termed a successful demonstra- tion for although the car had withstood the ravages of years of traveling and even then was giving service, the oil and smoke popping from the cylinder head gasket and crank case were quite intolerable while the heat from the machine made it far more comfortable to stay a little removed from it. Eventually the demonstrator became quite aware of the un- popularity of the new model and sensing the provoking mirth of his audience, jumped in t h e driver's seat and drove away. In no mean way, the incident served to recall 'the good o 1 d horse and buggy days\ when men got drunk and madly lash- ed their horses to race at break neck speed through the streets.

SCOUTS GETTING SET TO GO TO CAMP OSGOOD Boy Scouts from all- parts of the Adirondack Council will at- tend Camp Osgood this summer it is indicated by the registrat-, ions arriving daily at the Coun- cil office in Malone. A strong staff of selected lea- ders and councillors will conduct the camp on the shores of Os- good Pond, near Paul Smith's. All the men have had Scouting experience and most of tLem have been at Osgood before. Kenneth McCartney, recently appointed Scout Executive will personally direct the camp. His experiece in Boy Scout camps extends over a period of eleven years. He has been the past three years in a large Scout Camp near Portland, Maine. Dr. Homer L. Sampson of Trudeau, N.Y. Chairman of the Council- Camp Committee will live at Camp and give his personal sup- ervision to the work. The staff will include Stephen Worthen of Saranac Lake. Worthen, a Dartmouth student is an Eagle Scout and a regis- tered Red' Cross Life Saving and Swimming examiner. He will have charge of the waterfront, where swimming, boating, canoe- ing, and life saving are taught. Water meets and fun programs will be featured in this year's program. Claude Clark, Eagle Scout of Malone and Dartmouth student, will have a prominent place as a village councillor and leader of mountains and canoe trips. The miles of safe waterways access- able from the camp site offer unexcelled canoeing for those who qualify for that activity. Calvin Brown, instructor in the Malone School for the Deaf and Scouter of several years ex- perience will head the handi- craft department. Instruction will be given in leathercraft the Mr. bage, sell the hogs and first thing you knew a fellow would be eating hs neighbor's garbage fed pork which is done the world around. But pigs can't eat bed springs or they would certainly act as though they were walking on air or were af- fected with St. Vitus dance while one would hesitate to say what the pork would be like. So garbage collector is visibly troubled. woodcraft, basketry and making of pack baskets. Brown is a recognized authority in leather craft. The camper will line in \Vil- lages\ which will be under the leadership of staff members, who serve as scoutmasters and live, eat, work and play with the Scouts. Where it is possible for Scoutmasters to attend, they will give the direct leadership. Last year Scouts spent a total of over four hundred we^s at Od wes at Osnood under the supei viaion of the camp staff. m
