One of the first things we did after we had our party line telephone installed was to get acquainted with our telephone neigh bors, the folks who are sharing the line with u?. We found them to be grand people anxi ous to cooperate just as we are, because we both realize that it is only with this friendly spirit that party line service can be truly satisfactory. Just two simple rules that we both follow do the trick. We limit our conversations to five minutes, and we always listen on the line to see if it is in use before calling.

"Yes, Frank told me this morning dovvn at the barber shop. Our town's got a lot of men in the service now, Jim. In fact, all towns have. I was just reading in the paper where there are more than 10,000,000 men away from their homes in the armed forces. And, from all reports, they're doing a grand job bringing victory closer every day. "We folks at home have a mighty big obligation to those 10,000,000 fighting men. We've got to produce the food to keep them well fed. We've got to keep them supplied wiL: the ammunition and equipment they need to urish their job. We've got to help the Government pay for all these supplies our men need by buying more and more War Bonds. We'll have another big chance to do that by helping to put the 5th War Loan drive over the top, Jim. "And, in addition, we must be sure that, while they're away and can't express their opinions, we don't go voting on and deciding any things that will displease them when they come back."
