What You Pay For On
a Long Distance Call
I In making a long distance telephone call you
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, pole
| lines and many other kinds of apparatus such as
dynamos, batteries, calculagraphs, testing appa
ll ratus, repeaters and loading coils to magnify
the voice currents, and other expensive equip
ment generally unseen by the telephone user.
I
In making a long distance call you have the
services of two or more operators who connect
you and guard both ends of the line while you
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.
t
Repairmen Always Ready
Somewhere along the line, the branch of a
■ 1 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 changed 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 the
property and assist in paying the employees’
wages.
We endeavor to obtain only such a return on
the investment in our long distance lines as
could be earned on the money if it were invested
in any other business involving equal risk.

Saturday, the windy day, was a
sorry one for some people living south
of Inman. A prairie fire started and
had it not been extinguihsed would
have burned the town. A. Tompkins,
Charlie Thompson, A. Haines and C.
Haines were heavy losers.
Winning of War Up to Farmer.
That the final responsibility for
winning the war rests ip a large
measure with the farmer was the con
clusion of 62 state officials and repre
sentatives of agricultural colleges
from 32 states, who convened at St.
Louis May 9 and 10 to consider
measures for the conservation of food
supplies and the extension of product
ion to protect the country against
possible distress from shortage of
food.
“It will fall to the United States to
feed not only her own people and army
but the people and armies of England
and France as well,” said Dean E. A.
Burnett, of the college of agriculture,
who with Chancellor Avery and Prof.
C. W. Pugsley, director of agricultural
extension, represented the University
of Nebraska at this conference. “The
estimated shortage of the wheat crop
for this year (a two-thirds crop is pre
dicted) coupled with Argentine’s em
bargo on wheat will make a serious
world shortage;”
Increase of corn area; increase of
spring wheat area in Northern states;
planting of killed-out winter wheat
fields with oats, corn, or sorghum;
growing of more barley, beans, and
potatoes; use of only reliable seed;
and the conservation of breeding
stock were advanced as some of the
means of increasing food production.
Doubles Potato Yield.
That selection of disease-free po
tatoes and treatment of seed will
more than double the present average
yield and produce potatoes that bring
a higher price, is the word that comes
from the botany department of the
state college of agriculture. The
average yield per acre in Nebraska
last year was 79 bushels; the average
yield when seed is treated is 150 to
200 bushels.
To treat potatoes for scab, soak
them for an hour and a half in a solu
tion of corrosive sublimate (4 ounces
to 30 gallons of water), allow them to
dry, and plant immediately after cut
ting. Seed pieces which are the size
of a hen’s egg and which contains at
least two eyes give highest yields 1 he
use of northern-grown seed is recom
mended.

Nebraska Study Club Holds Meeting
In O’Neill.
The Nebraska Study club which con
sists of eleven dentists, held a thret
j day meeting in O’Neill, opening Sun
! day and closing Tuesday evening
' Every member was present and en
joyed the meeting.
The Nebraska study club does no
meet in the form of a convention noi
noes it include any certain territory oi
the state; you will note that the mem
bers are rather scattered about th<
country. The members and their as
sistants present were: Dr. W. R
Hall and Assistant Miss Merz, of Bat
tle Creek; Dr. C. E. Bolzell, and Miss
Peterson, of Stanton; Dr. R. R. Ral
ston, and Miss Kroner, of Long Pine;
Dr. .1. E. Pickling and Miss Halstead,
of Plainview; Dr. W. P. Higgins and
Miss Williams, of Atkinson; Dr.
W. II. Miner, of Norfolk; Dr. W. C.
Hastings, and Miss LeNoir, Newman
Grove; Drs. Petti bone and Kane and
Miss Ennis, Dr. L. A. Burgess and
Miss Walker, and Dr. A. H. Corbett
and Miss Corbett of O’Neill.
The purpose of this organization is
to improve skill and knowledge in the
dental profession. The meeting con
sisted of cavity preparation and man
ipulation and making of gold foil re
storations. Interesting discussinos
were held in the evenings and during
the lunch hours.
The club has been very fortunate in
securing for its demonstrator, in
structor and master of mechanics, Dr.
G. B. Baird, of Kremont, also his able
assistant. Miss Gartman. Dr. Baird
is acknowledged among the profession
as being a leading dentist of the state
of Nebraska. Other state conventions
and post graduate courses have sought
and employed his valuable services.
Dr. Baird showed his deep interest in
the Nebraska Study club when he re
fused to go to Kansas City to conduct
a post graduate course there on the
same days that he conducted the meet
ing in O’Neill. With one exception,
owing to sickness every dentist
brought his assistant to help with his
particular operation and receive in
struction from Miss Gartman. The
enthusiasm among the assistants was
as great as among the dentists.
Owing to the hotel and railroad ac
commodations and the commodious of
fices of Dr. M. E. Pettibone the meet
ings have so far been held in O’Neill
and will be held here again next fall.
Tuesday evening the members and
their assistants attended a public
dance in the O. / . C. Hall, and all re
ported a most enjoyable evening.
t Legislature Passes Dry Bill.
By a vote of 30 to 3 the senate Wed
nesday accepted the majority report of
the prohibition conference committee,
which Tuesday was accepted by the
house. By this action the amended
house bill goes to the governor for his
signature. Three senators voting
against the report were: Mattes,
Moriarity and Strehlow.
The house late Tuesday, by a vote
of 84 to 4, for the fourth time proved
itself in favor of an effectiev measure
to provide even against sale of near
beer, when they adopted the confer
ence committee report signed by the
three house conferees and Senator
Robertson of the senate conferees.
The majority report of the com
mittee, while eliminating the near beer
provision fostered by the senate, ap
proved a number of corrective senate
amendments to the original house bill.
The minority report advises receding
from all senate amendments and con
sidering the original house bill.
Some Job This.
Casey had owned a parrot for years,
but finally bought a pronograph. The
dealer threw in a few records, and
Casey, reaced home, immediately se
lected one at random and started the
machine. By a trick of fate, it was
“God Save the Kng.”
“Three hours later, Maloney, pass
ing Casey’s house, stopped in horror.
Above the metallic strains of the Eng
lish nationl hymn, rose Casey’s voice
in “The Wearing of the Green.”
Maloney rushed into the house.
There stood the phonograph, grind
ing away, and in front of it, nearly ex
hausted, sat Casey putting all that
was left of his strength into his song.
“For heaven’s sake, Casey!” Shout
ed Maloney, “are ye/, crazy?”
“Lave me alone, Maloney; ’tis me
own affair. This t’ing has been sing
in’ ‘God Save the King’ for t’ree hours;
but be hevine Oi’ll tache it The Wear
in’ av the’ Grane’ if it takes me a

THE BEST TEST
Is the Test of Time.
Years ago this O’Neill resident- told
of good results from using Doan’s
Kidney Pills. Now H. J. Zimmerman,
proprietor of cream station on main
street, confirms the former statement
—says there has been no return of the
trouble. Can O’Neill people ask for
more convincing testimony ?
Mr. Zimmerman, says:
“For about two years I was in bad
shape from kidney complaint, in fact,
I did not believe there was any hope
of my being cured, as I had tried so
many remedies without being helped
to any extent. My back ached con
stantly and I was often obliged to viod
the secretions and the passages were
attended by a scalding sensation.
Dizzy spells and pains in my head
also cause me much misery. About
four Boxes of Doan’s Kidney Pills rid
my seystem of ’kidney ’ complaint.
(Statement given July 25, 1907.)
On June 20, 1910, Mr.
gave me has proven permanent. It
has been years since I have had need
of them, so I never fail to recommend
them at any opportunity.”
