Will Do Without Phones. That no one may take advantage of another. the three produce and cream stations of Weeping Water have agreed to do without phones and thus save the cost of the ser vice. Their business is so quiet and there is so little in the matter, that they feel that they cannot afford to pay the phone bills which for rental alone amounts to $:$.25 each or $9.75 per month and for the year amounts to $118. They think that the rates are out of proportion to the profits which their business affords. The sign along the highway that says go to church some where is good advice. Why not take that advice and come to Mynard United Brethern church and worship with us. Jesus said I am the way. ihe truth and the life, no man can come to the Father accept by me.
