How the Bell Telephone
System Spends the Money
Received From the Public
The following figures are taken from the an
nual report of the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company and Associated Companies,
or so-called Bell Telephone System.
Of each dollar received for the sale of ser
vice by the Bell System, 46% cents are paid in
wages to employees, and 33% cents are spent
for repairs and up-keep of the equipment, for
taxes, incidental expenses and employees’ wel
fare work, and 20 cents are paid to holders of
Bell Telephone securities.
This 20 cents paid in interest and divi
dends is less than 6 per cent return on the
money, since $4 are invested in property for
each $1 in gross revenue received each year.
Fair Dividends Are Enough
In order to get additional money for exten
sions and improvements in our equipment it is
essential that the public, who are our stock
holders, have faith in our securities and confl
{ dence that they will receive a fair return on
! their investment.
During the past three years the cost of tele
phone equipment has increased, on the average,
to nearly double the former price.
In spite of the increased cost of operation,
few telephone rates have been increased; al
Ithough there are few business enterprises in
which the profit has been as small as in the tele
phone industry.

Nothing But the Nisco
Spreader for Us.
Any old machine that would just carry manure
to the field and dump it on the ground wasn’t good
enough for us. When one of our customers i
came in and said, I need a manure spreader, |
we wanted to point to a machine and say “There, I
brother, is the spreader that handles manure 8
\ $ best, pays for itself soon- f
est and lasts longest, g
That machine we can |
honestly recommend.”
Naturally we in
vestigated Manure g
Spreaders; and we’ve
taken the agency for
a machine that actu- j
ally measures up to j
the ideal we had set in
our own mipd. This
machine is called the
M|SCO
1^ The New Idea W
Manure Spreader
And we want every farmer in our territory to come in and
see it! The machine is a mechanical marvel. It pulverizes jf
and spreads a full load over three corn rows in three minutes.
Here are some of the many good points of this wonderful |
spreader—see if they don’t sound good to you. Low down
and easily loaded. Wide-tired wheels—hence the machine is \
light draft. Chain conveyor carries all the load to the two
cylinders, where it is thoroughly pulverized. Rapidly re
volving steel paddles distribute this finely pulverized manure
evenly. Can be set, by a convenient hand lever, to spread I
3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 loads per acre. Positive chain drive—no
possibility of clogging. Strongly built and able to stand
steady usage year in and year out. This machine is p
The Original Wide-Spreading Spreader
It was first of all spreaders to distribute wider than its own wheel track. }
Has been the leading spreader for 17 years and still leads.

Don’t forget this when you come in, because it’s- important. This book ?;
is called, “Helping Mother Nature.” It tells proved facts about the care
and use of manure worth scores of dollars to any farmer. You can make
money by heeding the suggestions in this book and using a Nisco Manure s
Spreader regularly. •
Come in! We are waiting to show you this machine.

Find Much Red Tape.
Washington Correspondent Omaha
Bee: W. J. Boyle, Hugh J. Birming
ham and W. B. Stannard of O’Neill, a
likely trio of Sixth district young men,
two of whom are graduates of the
University of Nebraska, are in Wash
ington thoroughly disgusted with the
red tape surrounding entrance to the
naval reserve corps. They reported to
the naval training station at Charles
i ten, S. C., but found they were a day
too late to be received, notwithstand
ing they were told in Nebraska that
they would be in ample time. Now
they are in Washington looking up
conditions for all three want to join
the colors.
“Everything closed in the navy,”
came a reply to Judge Kinkaid’s
query, “except aviation.”
“You know that’s a pretty flighty
proposition, said the judge as he
looked over his spectacles at his young
constituents.”
