of Omaha a few years ago. Mr. Wil
son was employed in the U. P. com
missary department and from May,

ATTENTION, PLEASE
— I
Will subscribers whose subscriptions
are due, be kind enough to bear in
mind that it is impossible for us to
have our collector call a half a dozen
times for the amount due? If not
l
prepared to pay when the collector
calls, kindly state a time when you
will be ready, and be ready. If sub
scriptions, which are payable in ad
vance, you will please notice, are not
promptly paid, the paper will be
stopped. We are willing to accommo
date. but we cannot afford to be im
posed upon.
The Reason
for Toll Charges
Less than one-fourth of our
subscribers make three
fourths of all the long dis
tance telephone calls.
The long distance lines
are used only occasionally by
the large majority of tele
phone subscriber*.
For this reason a charge ts
made for each long distance
call rather than cover the ex
pense of providing this serv
ice by Increasing the local
telephone rates.
It would be very conven
ient not to have to pay extra
to talk to neighboring towns.
If we gave free long dis
tance service, however, it
would mean that all tele
phone subscribers would pay
the cost of maintaining the
long distance lines which are
used generally by only a few.
