Victory. Notes Drag.
It is with tho pace of a lame snail
that tho Victory notes campaign creeps
toward tho quota sot lor Lincoln coun
ty and unless on awakening occurs not
much more than fifty per cent of tho
quota may bo expected. Tho lnck of
enthusiasm has been noted from tho
first day of the campaign, and though
efforts have been made to arouse tho
people ns to the need of this loan and
that it is their duty, Just as much now
as during tho war, to subscribe tho re
sponse has boon weak.
Tho fact that this lack of enthusl-
i9m is notlceablo all over the country
is no valid excuso for Lincoln county
not meeting its quota. It is not be
cause of lack of money that wo have
not so far subscribed ns liberally as
wo should, for tho doposits in the
bankB of the county arc as largo, if
not larger, than ever before in our
history. It looks very much as though
our patriotism to country develops
only when wo arc in the throes of a
crisis.

Telephone Rates
Must Be Higher
INCREASED1 OPERATING EXPENSES REQUIRE MORE HONEY,
Telephone expenses have gone up rapidly the last few years.
Telephone rates have not advanced in proportion to the cost of
furnishing the service. N
The cost of furnishing telephone service has advanced because of
the increased cost of material to the telephone company and the in-: I
creased living expenses of employes.
Everyone realizes the necessity of paying more for rent, for food,
for clothing, for wages and for transportation. ,
The telephone industry has been affected by the same conditions
wltfeh have produced higher prices in all the necessities of life. ,
