Half Sevice or
Double Service!
Two telephone systems in one town means a
divided community or a forced duplication of appar
atus and expense. Some of the people are connected
with one system, some are connected with the other
system, and each group receives partial service.
Only (hose receive full service who subscribe for
the telephones of both systems. Neither system can
fully meet the needs of the public, any more than a
single system could meet the needs of the public if
cut in two and half the telephones discontinued.
What is true of a single community is true of
the country at large. The Lincoln Telephone System
is established on the principle of one system and one
policy, to meet the demands for universal service, a
a whole service for all the people.

Twelfth Biennial Meeting, Con
venes at Lincoln.
PROPOSE PER CAPITA RAISE
Present Tax Is Seventy ' Cents Pet
Year, but Plan Under Way Is to In
create This to One Dollar Agltatior
for Changing Headquarters.
Lincoln, Oct. 3. The twelfth bien
Dial session of the Degree of Honoi
of Nebraska is holding forth In the
senate chamber of the state house
The response to the address of wtl
come was made Ly Grand Master A
M. Walling of David City. One of tht
Important matters to come before the
cession is a proposed Increase in the
per capita tax. At the present time
the tax Is 70 cents per year, but man.
believe that It should be raised to $1.
There is also an agitation for increas
ing the age limit from forty-five to
fifty years. Another proposition which
is liable to cause considerable con
troversy and may result in something
of a fight, is the proposition to change
the headquarters of the grand lodge
from Plattsmonth, where it has been
located for twelve years, to Lincoln.
Members of the local lodges here are
making nn active canvass along that
line. There will be some politics In
the meeting as on account of changing
the headquarters from Plattsmouth, Jt
they decide so to do, there will be an
other candidate for the position ol
grand recorder, held the past fourteen
years by Mis Hem pel of Plattsmouth
It Is rumored that Miss Etta Brooks,
deputy grand chief, will he a candl
date against Miss llempel.
Monroe Has Petition.
The Commercial club of Monroe has
petitioned the s(ate railway commis
sion to compel the Union Pacific Rail
way company to change the name of
the station to the same as the town.
The town was lncorKrated as "Mon
roe," but the railroad company haf
persisted in calling It "Munroe," and
the club claims that much confusion
results therefrom. Section 10642 of
Cobtey'a statutes provides that when
a majority of the Inhabitants of any
city or town petition the railroad com
pany to change the name of the town
the. company shall proceed to do so.
The. samp condition of things regard
ing Monroe applies to St. Edwards,
two stations north of Monroe on the
Fame road. The town was Inrorpor
nted 'as "St. Edwards," yet the rail
road company has persisted In spelling
it St. Edward'

2,700 bushels and brought 88 cents
j,er bushel. The oats on the farni
went fifty bushels to the acre and ag
gregated over !100 bushels.
Ho-se Disease Checked.
That the horse disease Is on the
decline Is evidenced by the fact that
the governor has granted permission
for Dr. Davison and his corps of as
tlstnnts, who have been Investigating
the disease, to leave the state. While
the experts nrrlved too late to stop
the disease, they secured enough evi
dence before the cool weather did Its
share In preventing further spread o
be In shape to successfully meet It
th'ould It break out again.
