Tho abovo is the heading1, of a peti tion that was placed In circulation yesterday morning, not only in North .Platto but aluo In a number of the county towns ami precincts. This ac tion followed a meeting held the lattor part of last week, at which a number of citizens Interested in tho develop-! ment of tho county were present. This petition, as noted, simply asks the commissioners to call an election to vote on the proposition, and tho law says that the commissioners may upon their own initiatlvo call such an elec tion, or shall call it if a petition signed hy one-fourth of the voters at the pre ceding election be presented to them. At tho meeting hold it was thought ad visable to got out tho petition, thus lotting the people tako tho initiative and relieving the commissioners of tho burden of criticism of those who aro opposed to a new building. At tho last election about 3400 votes were cast, thus requiring 900 slgna Seeks Woman Who Nursed Mm Charles C. Vray, 359" Inf. M.

Telephone Service Is Getting Back to Normal 1 Two years ago you were getting good telephone service Then war came. Many of our trained men were called into military service. The abnormal demand 'for women employees in other lines Qf work caused considerable shifting in our operating forc.es. These conditions, coupled with the inability to get equip ment promptly caused unsatisfactory telephone service in many localities. Now we are getting back on a pre-war basis. Manufacturers are supplying us with telephono equipment more promptly now, although we are'paying much higher prices than before the war. With the abnormal demand ended for women in other in dustries there is now more stability among our operating em ployees. Our trained men are gradually being released from military service and resuming old positions. As the supply of labor and equipment becomes more and moro normal telephone service is steadily improving. NEBRASKA TELEPHONE COMPANY mm
