AK-SAR-BEN FESTIVITIES TO SURPASS FORMER YEARS — Ak-Sar-Bens have come and gone, King Samson has ruled wisely and justly for twenty years, but no king ; has had the good fortune to reign as has the present king, Samson XX. He will hold forth during the festivities, which will celebrate the greatest year in the history of Ak-Sar-Ben with Ne braska and Iowa, the territory served by Ak-Sar-Ben, groaning under the most wonderful crops in years and years. The festivities will celebrate in no uncertain way this wonderful output of a wonderful country, coming at a time when the world is looking to this section for its bread and meat. The festivities will begin September 29th and continue until and including October 10th, with every day featured by something that will long be remem bered in the history of Ak-Sar-Ben. Three parades, supplemented by a grand concert by the Boston Sym phony orchestra, will furnish diver sion from the carnival features. On Thursday afternoon, October 5, there will be the first of the parades, a huge automobile floral affair, with gaily decorate ! cars from evervhere. The Electrical parade, recognized the world over for its originality, unique ness and completeness, is set for Wed nesday night, October 6.

The welcome arch will he located at Fifteenth and Howard streets, with the grounds ex tending from Howard to Jackson, Jones and Leavenworth streets, be tween Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets. The Wortham cofbined shows have been secured for the ten days and promise the best carnival feature at tractions possible. PATRONIZE OCR ADVERTISERS. Something About Government Ownership No. 5 The Bell Company has created the entire art of telephony. Almost without excep tion. none of the impor tant contributions to the art have been made by any government owned telephone administration, or by any other tele phone company, either in this coun try or abroad. Type after type of in struments. of cable and switchboards have been invented, built and dis carded for something better. All Europe, with 405 million people, has less than three million tele phones. or less than one tenth the number per pop ulation used in the United States. During the last eight years Bell telephone wires have been erected at the rate of two miles a minute— or a million miles a year. In modern facilities, quality of service, and reasonableness of rates, no telephone system in the world approaches the Bell organization. Bell Telephone Service Has Set the Standard for the Rest of the World.
