Omaha Clergyman
Joins in Fight to
Keep C. A. Fulmer
While there is some talk of the
possibility that Chancellor Clark A.
Fulmer will not be with the Nebraska
Wcsleyan university long, some of
his friends and alumni of the school
are sending an appeal to the mem
bers of the board of trustees of the
college to retain him. A printed cir
cular is being sent obt, signed by
Ofan K. llowen. superintendent 01
city schools at Wayne, and Karl E.
Bowen, pastor Pearl Memorial Meth
odist church of Omaha.
The circular sets forth that Chan
cellor Fulmer is loved and respected
by all his students; that he is ad
mired by the alumni; that he is held
in esteem by the school men and
women of the state; that he is in touch
with the high schools of the state as
perhaps no one else; that he is recog
nized by the ministers as a great
Christian educator; that he is ranked
by the educators and members of the
faculties of the other universities as
a leader of remarkable ability; that
he has on various occasions been of
fered the presidencies of the Peru
and Kearney State normals, declining
both offers, thinking to serve his
church for years to come as chancel
lor of Wesleyan university; that he
has succeeded in doubling the at
tendance at Wesleyan in the last ten
years.
First Crop and Soil Report
Of Season Advance Prices
The time of year has arrived when
crop reports have a bearing on the
market price of grain. The first of
the season came this week and quickly
shot wheat up 2 cents a bushel. Cm
cago houses wired the Omaha Grain
exchange that reports from Missouri
and Kansas indicated that the winter
crop had been seriously damaged by
cold weather and a lack of moisture.
Immediately following the Chicago
report the May wheat option jumped
to $1.77 and the May corn option to
?l.Uo per bushel, iter the crop
damaae reports were partially con
tradicted and May wheat sagged to
$1.7354, later going up to fl.s. Lorn
in the meantime sold on to $i.uifc,
bnt subseotientlv lost a half cent
The accumulations of wheat over
the holiday aggregated 144 carloads

How We Anticipate
Your Telephone Reeds
The installation of every new telephone
means more than placing the telephone instru
ment in the subscriber's home or office.
It also means giving the new subscriber bis
share in the pole lines, the cables, the switch
board and other complex mechanism of the tele
phone plant.
We must foresee the needs of the public.
We must estimate in advance the probable num
ber of telephone users and where they will live.
We must anticipate the increases in population
and development along various streets.
We Must Be Prepared
When telephone service is ordered we must
have the wires in place, the switchboard
equipped for the new subscriber and other
intricate mechanism installed so service may be
provided without unnecessary delay.
We build for the future. We aim to antici
pate the telephone needs of our patrons. We
must add to our equipment ahead of present re
quirements. Building for the future is very expensive,
but in providing telephone service in this com
munity we feel that our duty requires us to fur
nish the best possible SERVICE at the lowest
possible rates consistent with such a grade of
service.
Anticipation of our patrons' telephone needs
in advance so as not to keep them waiting, is
a part of our policy of "serving the public
well".
