Class one, oratorical, opened by a whis tling solo by Miss Estb- Devlne who is always welcomed ad encored by her audience. There were nine con testants from nine towns in this class each speaking about twelve minutes. Sidney waa represented by Henry Stafford, who made such a pronounc ed success at the preliminary. How ever, in this large number from the best of many towns, competition was sharp and Henry was excelled by a very few points. He nevertheless reflected satisfactory credit upon his school and his coach. Oral Harvey of Alliance was awarded first on that matchlesi favorite oration, "Tous saint L'Ouverture." His listeners hung upon his words as though it were the first time they had ever heard the selection. Second honors were awarded t Frank Wilson of Kimball, who rendered "The New South". He, too, was in splendid form an dtralning. While the decis ion of judges was being made, Mes dames Mann and Simodynes pleas ingly entertained with i piano duet.

McAllister wanted to know If the house was go ing to stand by the book trust or by the people. 01 lis said $100,000 wouldn't give the plant a good Btart and that two yearn hence the house would be asked ti. appropriate from $300,000 to $600,000 to keep it go ing. Taylor Bald the state had been plundered by the publishers, and he wanted to see the Initial atep taken toward getting out from under the In the cafe, book trust. "The fact that tho present system is not efficient is no argument for the starting of a state plant," Mr. Relschlck said. "I challenge you to point out one state industry that has proved a success in the past. We all expected big things in the hog cholera Berum plant, and now we are closing it down. The furniture factory at the ponitentlary is still op erating, but it ia not a success. Cal ifornia, Iowa and Kansas now have state printing planta, and California and Iowa are closing them down be eause they cannot make them pay. If we are to eliminate the printing graft we muat provide a meana of cutting down the number of uaeleaa booka and pamphleta." Members of the House and Senate are hoping that they can get away and colse the present session not lat er than April 15. The only thing to prevent this will be a deadlock on the prohibition bill, which is Improb able The bill, to which was tucked the one hundred amendments offered by Senator Robertson, will be up for third reading In the Senate Tuesday and will then go to a conference com mittee composed of members of both the House and Senate. House lead ers will undoubtedly be ready to grant minor concessions but they will refuse to accept the more liberal amendments tacked on In the Sen ate.

Representative J. A. Ollls of Dfd was the recipient of congratulations from fellow members last Thursday when it was learned that he had been appointed appraiser of lands for the Federal Iand bank of Omaha for the state of Nebraska. This is a life time position, paying $200 per month and expenses, and is a re sponsible place which Mr. Ollls will till in a callable and efficient man ner. A resolution complimenting him on the appointment was passed by the House. Mr. Ollls has been a member of both the House and the Senate for many terms and has a v.ide acquaintance over the state. Nebraska may go into the printing business if House Holl 161, by Bates of Cheyenne county, becomes a law. This bill appropriates $100,000 for the purpose of establishing a Htate printing plant, $25,000 to be used for buying printing equipment. $20, 000 for a building, and the balance for expenses and miscellaneous pur- I poses. It is admitted thai the main object of the bill Is to start a plant which will eventually print the text books for the Btate schools. Objection to the measure was rais ed on the grounds that the $100,000 named would not begin to take care of the work, but Its opponents stood by it with the argument that it would be a step toward eliminating the op erations of the stock-book trust in Nebraska. In moviug indefinite postpone ment Richmond conceded the truth fulneaa of the atatement that there waa a printing graft in this atate, but he maintained that thla bill would do away with thia graft. The atart ing ot such a plant would carry with it more politics than Is to be found in any state institution at present, and the membera would live to see the day when they would regret It. Murtey could not aee the neceaaity of embarking on an enterprise that waa being well taken care of by pri vate corporationa. Asked by Miller if he had not favored a plan to pro vide for atate hail insurance, he re plied that the plan did not provide for the expenditure of any atate funds. Replying to Miller'a atate ment that the opponents of the print in gmeaaure were unprogreaalve be cauBe they atood in the way of gov ernment ownership. Mr. Murtey aald Ruaala owned Its railroads and oth er public utilities and Russia was the leaBt progreasive nation on earth. Thomaa favored the printing of textbooks by the atate, providing needed copyright booka could be printed, but aald that the plan as outlined in the bill would prove to be aimply a drain on the state's resourc es With only $25,000 for machin ery, he aaid, the atate could not in stall enough equipment for the print ing of text booka. Admitting Bates' atatement that the Kanaas plant, which coat over $400,000, had yield ed a profit, he aald an amount much larger than that profit had been uaed Whit You Pay For On a Long Distance Call In making. a long distance telephone call yon have the use of more than merely the wires over which you talk. The wires are only a small part of the equip ment provided for a long distance call. There must be switchboards, terminal rooms, polo lines and many other kinds of apparatus such as dynamos, batteries, calculagraphs, testing appa ratus, repeaters and loading coils to magnify the voice currents, and other expensive equip ment generally unseen by the telephone user. In making a long distance call you have tho services of two or more operators who connect you and guard both ends of the line while yon talk. In addition to the operators there are other employees watching the equipment in the cen tral offices and repairmen guarding the long distance wires. Repairmen Always Ready Somewhere along the line, the branch of a tree, a strong wind or an electric storm may put the wires out of order. But nearby is a tele phone man ready to hurry to the spot, so that the line may be quickly repaired and service restored. The amount you are oharged when you make a long distance call is to help maintain the line, to facilitate the payment of interest on the in vestment in the equipment used for long dis tance, to aid in the payment of taxes on tho property and assist in paying the employees' wages. We endeavor to obtain only such a return on tho investment in our long distance lines as oould be earned on the money if it were invested in any other business involving equal risk.
