Two years since a telephoni om uacy put their Instruments into many places about Ontario. The rate was ver- low and of course ever one could afford a 'phone. 1-oteis tound It very convenient. Most all the iar ents with marriageable hildren found them in close conection with al! the other marriageable children. Nice little parties were arranged by phone. The housewife ordered her groceries by 'phone. Physicians got moie calls because it was easy to send in a call irom the country by 'phone. Ever thin? went harmoniously until the tel ephone company notified the ieoi'r that the rate would go up a notch or two. No argument could keep It at the old flcure The country places felt the rub even' more than their ci;y cousins. The result is Ontario is holding meetings In conection with 'vn Areftfiin DwvtiM. and othrr places with a view of puttinc in a pri vate line.
