QOOSE WHEAT A DRUG.
Writing to the Northwestern
Miller, Eugene M. Janssens, a
leading flour importer of Ant
werp, Belgium, says:
"Your article on goose wheat
also very much interested us.
Perhaps it will be of some us^
to you to hear that we receiv
ed a parcel of goose wheat flour
about nine months ago and
that, so far, we have not been
able to sell a single bag of it,
although we have done all we
could to clear it. We delivered
samples to bakers, confection
ers and biscuit manufacturers,
but nobody would have it."

RELIEF FROM RHEUMATIC
Fains.
"I suffered with rheumatism
for over two years," sa\s Mr.
Rolland Curry, a patrolman, of
Key West, Fla. "Sometimes it
settled in my knees and lamed
me so I could hardly walk, at
other times it would be in my
feet and hands so I was in
capacitated for duty. One
night when I was in severe
pain and lame from it my wife
went to the drug store here and
came back with a bottle of
Chamberlain's Pain Balm. I
was rubbed with it and found
the pain had nearly gone dur
ing the night. I kept on using
it for a little more than two
weeks and found that it drove
the rheumatism away. I have
not had any trouble from that
disease for over three months."

THE WAHPETON TIMES, THURSDAY, MAY 30, 1907.
TO IHPROYE SYSTEM.
Northwestern Company Spend-
For the past two or three
months the Northwestern Tele
phone Exchange Company
have had a force of men in
Wahpeton and Breckenridge
rebuilding the entire telephone
system, taking down wires,
changing lines, putting up new
poles, and paving the way for
what is known as the "Central
Energy or Common Battery
Telephone system."
In addition to making all
these changes in the outside
plant, the company has erected
a new building to house their
new switchboard and as head
quarters for the operating and
maintenance departments of
Wahpeton and vicinity.
Prior to October 1st, 1906, the
telephone exchanges at Wah
peton, Breckenridge, Campbell,
Fairmount, Forman, Hankin
son, Lisbon, Milnor, and Wynd
mere, and the toll lines connect
ing and surrounding these ex
changes, were the property of
the Great Western Telephone
company. On that date the
property was purchased by the
Northwestern company and
made a part of their immense
system.
Immediately after the pur
chase, the engineers were sent
intj all of these points and over
the toll lines to make a study
of the plant and plans to bring
the equipment and service up
to the highest standard known
to the telephone art.
Few people appreciate the
enormous displacement and the
numerous changes required in
a telephone plant to keep the
apparatus and lines up-to-date,
so as to furnish the telephone
using public with a satisfac
tory class of service. The
actual figures, based on long
experience in the telephone
business, give the average de
preciation of an entire tele
phone system as 12 per cent
per year. This means that the
entire plant has to be replaced
every eight years. These figures
are based on plants wearing
out, but do not cover the ex
traordinary changes required
on account of the invention of
new apparatus and changes in
methods that improve the sub
scribers serrice.
No telephone company does
its full duty to the people it
serves unless it does keep its
plant and service up to the
highest standard, and the
Northwestern Telephone Ex
change Company, immediately
upon coming into possession of
the property in Wahpeton, be
gan the improvements that are
now under way.
Copper and copper wire, one
of the commodities most used
in telephone plants, has in
creased in cost over one hun
dred per cent in the past two
years and all other material
used in telephone work has in
creased in almost the same pro
portion. The cost of labor, too,
is higher now than ever before.
The telephone system that is
now in use in Wahpeton is what
is known as a "Grounded Cir
cuit or Single Wire System."
The new system will be all me
tallic circuits, two wires being
used for each telephone, giving
clearer and better service the
batteries, instead of being
located at each telephone as in
the past, will be located at the
central office. It will be under
the care of an experienced man
who will see that they are al
ways kept up to the highest
standard, thus making the
transmission uniformly good
every day in the year.
Under the old system, the
batteries were located at the
telephone and after a limited
time, began to play out and an
inspector had to be sent to

Iowa Dairy Separator Co.
Waterloo, Iowa.
Gentlemen:—We fiave made
several tests of your separator
and find that it does excellent
work, even when run under
very unfavorable conditions.
We find that it skims to a trace
in skimming milk as cold as
70, and also that it would skim
beyond its rated capacity. We
are entirely satisfied, and the
machine you sent us on trial is
accepted.
Yours very truly,
A. W. TROW.
We guarantee the "Iowa" to
skim closer, last longer and
run easier than any other
separator manufactured.
make a change. When new,
the service was good, but each
day that they were in use be
came weaker and weaker, thus
making the service fluctuate.
The subscribers, under the
old system, were compelled to
turn a crank and ring a bell for
central and central was com
pelled to listen on the line to
see whether or not the sub
scriber. had gotten the connec
tion and to find out when they
were through talking. Under
the new system, subscribers
will simply take the telephone
off the hook. This will operate
a small signal in front of the
operator at central office, indi
cating that central is wanted,
and giving the number of the
line calling. After the connec
tion has been made, automatic
signals indicate when the cal
led party answers, and when
either or both parties hang up
their telephones. This will do
away with many of the annoy
ing interruptions that subscri
bers have been compelled -to
put up with and will make a
much more rapid service. In
fact, the officials of the North
western company claim that
this system is the most up-to
date in use and will be equip
ped and operated along the
same line as the telephone
systems in the large cities.
The public, generally, in
speaking of telephone rates,
speak of the price they pay for
their telephones as though they
rented the instruments and
that was all they paid for. As
a matter of fact, the instrument
is simply an incident to the
service. It is service that the
company sells and service that
the public pays for. and the
telephone-using public in a
town like Wahpeton, want the
best and. should have it, and
the telephone company is fur
nishing them with every mod
ern telephone equipment and
the highest grade of telephone
service, and with toll line facili
ties reaching practically every
village and town in the United
States east of the Rocky Moun
tains.
