About one hundred men raspondod
to the call Issued for a meeting Thurs

cuss plans for establishing and op
erating a co-operative storo In North
Platto. Tho matter was discussed at
some length, and tho opinion was gen

that stockholders therein wero pretty
certain to derive good dividends from
tholr Investment. The general plan
talked was to form an Incorporated
soclatlon with a capital stock of two
hundred thousand dollars and use as
much of the stock as might bo requir
ed to conduct the business; with shares
solllng.at 510 each. This stock would
bo sold to farmers as well ns town;
residents, with a limit on the amount4
of stock each individual could sub
scribe. If necessary a bul'dlng could
bo orectod In which to house the con
cern. A committeo of seven was appointed
to draft plans for the formation of tho
association and the general conduct of
tho business. Tho committeo will
make Its report in a few days.

Tho samples of grain, vegetables, corn
and forage plants ho has so far col

the quality of tho crops grown in our
county, and when one enters tho agrl
cutural hall at the fair grounds ho will
bo amazed at tho display.
Though Mr. Moure has made a pret
ty thorougli canvass of tho county, It
Is probable that ho has failed to visit
some farmers who havo products that
are well worthy of exhibition, and
thoso who havo Buch aro requested to
bring them In and place them on ex

exhibit of agrlcutural produce but
tho entries of horses, cattle and hogs
promise to be large, thus showing the

and stockgrowers are doing in tho
way of Improving htolr herds.

Long Distance Calls
and Operating Expense
Long distance telephone calls can bo handled
with much greater speed when conversation is
not required with a particular person but when
anyone at tho telephone called will talk.
Also, the operating cost and use of wires in
volved In handling a long distance call for a par
ticular person is much greater than for a message
where the person will talk with anyone answer
ing the telephone called.
A lower rate is now offered to telephone users
,who place long distance calls for anyone at the
telephone wanted rather than for a particular
person.
A "report charge" is made to cover a portion
of the expense we incur when a long distance call
is placed but which is never completed.
