Telegraph and telephono aorvlco In.
to North Platto was almost complete
ly paralyzed by the heavy snow storm
yosterdtiy, and this morning It was
reported at the local offices that llvo
hundred and fifty lino polew were
down beUvvben here and Sidney, nnd a
largo number between hero and Lex
ington. About one hundred laborers
were shipped In from tho ea3t by the
Union Pacific early this morning, and
started west at eight o'clock on a
special work train to begin the work
of reconstructing tho linos.
Tho Nebraska Telephone Co. was
nlso a heavy sufferer from fallen polos,
nnd a dozen or" more workmen were
started out in auto trucks this morn
ing to make repairs.
In tho city both tho electric light
and tho tolephono plants suffered, a
good part of tho city being without
sorvlca during tho ovenlng and
throughout tho night. Both poles and
wires succumbed to tho load of iwtet
snow which clung to them.
Yesterday's storm covered the moun
tain and lako regions, but seems to
have been most savere, so far as tho
snowfall, between Sidney and Lexing
ton. East of tho latter placo rain In
stead of snow fell.
Tho precipitation yesterday, as re
ported by Observer Shilling, amounted I
to a Httlo over ona Inch of water,
which is evidence of the "wetnoss" of
tho snow.
In all sections of the city the
ground Is well covered iwlith broken
limbs, and in a number of instances
good, sized trees Welro brokfcn and
prostrated by tho weight of the anow-
A forco of men from tho electric
light "plant worked throughout the
night taking caro of fallen wires and
poles, and today all available men arc
employed by tho electric and tole
phono companies In making repairs,
tho' cost of which will run Into hun
dreds of dollars.

An Elastic Dime
Is what you make of 10c when you
buy "Krisp Krust Bread."
In no other article of food can you buy as much real nourish
ment for the money as in bread.
Consider how much meat, potatoes, etc you would get for ten
or fifteen cents. Eat more bread and cut the cost of living.
Dickey's "Krisp Krust Bread'' is a loaf of high food value. It
has the true wheat flavor and does not crumblo when cut which
is a real test of good bread, properly baked.
"Krisp Krust" is scientifically mixed in an electric dough
mixer and baked in a modern brick oven which insures a loaf with
that delicious flavor as in "Krisp Krust". Order bread with your
groceries.
"Krisp Krust" at 10c and "Dickey's Home Made," at 15c.
"It's the flavor that counts.
