Pleasure and Protection
"One of the best reasons why I would not be '
without telephone service," writes a Georgia far
i mer, "is the pleasure it gives my wife and the
; , knowledge that while I am away, she has the pro
tection that the telephone gives."
On the farm the telephone dispels loneliness
; and is the means of bringing help in any emer
' gency that may arise.
If you haven't a telephone on your farm see
;" " the nearest Bell Telephone Manager or write for
j our free booklet and learn how little this service
1 costs.

LORD KITCHEKER TALKS
WAR TO HOUSE OF LORDS
Field of Operations of Allied Ar
mies Described.
London, Nov. 26. The Russians
have defeated the Germans with the
heaviest losses yet suffered;" "the Ger
mans have made no advance since I last
addressed this House," and "the Brit
ish are in touch with Turkish forces
thirty miles east of the Suez Canal,"
were the salient points of a speech made
by Field Marshal Earl Kitchener in the
House of Lords this afternoon when
the British Secretary of War summar
ized the military operations.
' Lord Kitchener paid a tribute to the
gallantry of the. Belgian army and to
the Kinz of the Belgians who, he de-
to
Uol QUf wtvs - - .u.vm..- - -i
Belgian, territory. He said the losses
of the Allies wVe great, but at the
same time were slight compared with
those of the enemy, and tnat the allied
troops were in excellent spirits and con
fident of success. .
NEEDS MORE MEN.
Regarding recruiting, Earl Kitchener
said he still had room for men and he
was confident that the men would an
swer the country's call and see that the
war was brought to a successful conclu
sion. He said that about thirty thou
sand recruits were enlisting weekly.
'The time will come when we shall
require many ' more and I will then
make it thoroughly well known," the
field marshal said, and , added that in
the meantime all the gaps in the Brit
ish force on the Continent had been
filled.. "
Referring to the German advance on
Dunkirk and Calais after the capture of
Antwerp, Lord Kitchener mentioned
that in spite of the overwhelming sum
ber of the German forces the British
troops vigorously attacked and a British
cavalry division extending over seven
miles of trenches threw back the fierce
attacks of a whole German army corps
fort more than two days. The arrival
of tho Indians on the scene, he said
proved to be a great advantage, and
when the fresh re-enforcements pushed
forward the German march on Calais
was stopped.
Lord Kitchener spoke of the splendid
fighting qualities of the French troops
and of the pluck of the gallant Bel
gian army, whose fine resistance had
been strengthened and encouraged by
the co-operation of the British fleet,
which had effectively shelled the Ger
man artillery positions."
Sir John French's successful resist
ance to the uerman advance, ixra
Kitchener told the Lords, was main
tained notwithstanding that the Ger
man supports had been pushed up in
large numbers.
"In the early days of November,"
he continued, "no less than eleven array
corps were attacking the British posi
tion. At this critical period the Eighth
division was sent from England to join
the forces in the field, and the valuable
co-operation of our allies on our left
materially strengthened the British po
sition. . ,
GERMAN ATTEMPT FAILS. '
"On November 11 a supreme effort
was made by the Germans. The Prus
sian Guard was ordered to force its way
through the lines at all costs and to
carry them by sheer weight of numbers,
But this desperate attempt failed like
its predecessors, s .
"StroDg French re-enforcements oc
cupied a considerable portion of the
British trenches in front of Ypres, and
with their front thus appreciably short
ened the British troops, which for over
fourteen days and nights had never left
the trenches or allowed the enemy to
maintain a footing in them, were en
abled to enjoy a partial well-earned
rest." -
Several battalions of territorials, the
Secretary of War announced, had joined
the British forces and had made them
selves felt. i
Referring to the It at phase in the
conflict raging in Russian Poland, Lord
Kitchener said:
After a hotly contested battle the re-
enforced Russian troops in this neigh
borhood have been able to check and
defeat the Germans with, I believe,
heavier losses than they ever sustained
before."
Lord Kitchener also briefly touched
on the lurtisn intervention ana saiu
that the Russians successfully were ad
vancing in the Caucasus, while an In-
ian expeditionary force had twice de
feated the Turks at the head of the Per
sian Gulf, where they bad occupied thej
important town of Basra and were alsoi
in touch with a Turkish force thirty
rci!; to the east of the Suez Canal.

Tennessee Apple Crop Statistics.
The 1914 apple crop of Tennessee is
estimated at 7,533,000 bushels, accord
ing to a report of the Federal Depart
ment, of Agriculture issued recently.
The" yield in 1913 was 3,900,000 bush
els and 8,900,000 bushels in 1912. The
condition of the crop at the present
time is 76 per cent of normal and the
average condition during the past ten
year period has been 49 per cent of
normal
The apple crop of continental United
States is estimated at 230,249,000 bush
els for 1914, while the yield last year
was only 145,400,000. bushels. The
average price being paid to farmers for
apples at the present time is 62 cents
per bushel. ,-
Safety First
The "safety first" idea, inaugurated
by the railroads in tho operation of
trains, has gained such headway that in
some of the schools over the country
there is to-day an agitation for the ad
dition to the teaching corps of a ''safety
first" instructor.
The railroads of the country will glad
ly welcome and encourage such a move
ment for tby realize that the more a
child is. taught the dangers of railroad
crossipgs, playing on tracks and the
importance of observing the danger
signals at crossings, the fewer accidents
of this character will occur. The same
lesson should also be brought to the at
tention of the grown-ups as well, for
many of the' persons who use the public
highways to day are too prone to "take
a chance" when crossing a railway and
many times the taking of such a chance
has resulted in death or injury to many
innocent persons. It is estimated that
fully nine-tenths of such accidents are
due to the contributory negligence of
those who do not regard the signals at
crossings.
Many manufacturers have adopted the
policy of instructing their employes in
the safety first idea in handling danger
ous machinery and it is known that
such; instruction has greatly lessened
accidents.
Many of the railroads who own mo
tion picture outfits have gladly co
operated with the school authorities in
loaning such machines for the instruc'
tion of tbe cbildreb and it fs believed
that such instruction will greatly lessen
the number of accidents at crossings and
railroad yards.
