The Family Budget
The family budget and ours are alike in
one particular—outgo must not exceed in
come if success is to be attained.
Telephone revenues must be sufficient to
meet all expenses, such as taxes and wages.
They also must provide a fair return on the
value of the property.
a Otherwise, reliableservice cannot be pro
vided to the public and additional money can
not be obtained from investors to expand the
business to meet the increasing demands for
service.
Your telephone needs can be
met satisfactorily only when the
telephone income is sufficient.

“AINT NATURE WONDERFUL”
“Uncle Pete in St. Louis Post-Dis
patch.)
Does the unauthorized removal of
property from the premises of the
insured by fish or other animals con
stitute theft within the meaning of an
anti-larceny insurance policy? This
is the question Judge Kirwin of Bea
ver Flats must decide in a number of
suits instituted in his court against
an insurance company by a number
of farmers residing along the Cala
mus River, whose corn piles have been
raided by the herds of migratory carp
which infest the stream near this
point.
The contention of the insurance
company in resisting the claim is that
the erring fish belong to a lower or
der of life incapable of thought or
power to distinguish between right
and wrong and that as a consequence
they are not free moral agents cap
able of committing theft. The com
pany suggests that all wild game and
game fish are the property of the
State and that the injured farmers
should look to the State Fish and
[Game Commission for the adjustment
of their losses. To this the plaintiffs
reply that not even by the wildest
[stretch of an insurance man’s im
agination may a carp be classified as
a game fish or game of any kind and
that the fish and game department is
no more responsible than it is for a
mosquito bite.
The migratory carp that are the
cause of tfie dispute are of a species
inhibitating the shallow lakes of the
sandhills west of here during the sum
iiner and fall. As these lakes frequent
ly become so shallow in dry years that
[they freeze solid in winter the carp
have gradually adjusted themselves
to these conditions and migrate over
land through the wet vegetation, after
the first early snows, to the streams
and deeper bodies of water.
During these migrations they are
compelled to subsist upon the country
and thus have acquired appetite for
a vgetarian diet, and particularly for
corn. Soon after the ice went out this
spring the carp began evincing a de
sire to get back to their summer lakes
and have been making short practice
marches inland to get in shape for the
long trek back to the sandhills. It was
during the first of these practic mar
ches that the fish discovered the corn
piles in the farm yards along the
river and they since have been hold
ing nightly revelry around them.
It is no joke for the farmers as an
average-size carp can consume several
quarts of corn at a sitting and anor
dinary school from five to ten bushels
a night. Many of the river farmers
who thought they would have a little
old corn to sell this summer now find,
since the fish began raiding them, that
their stocks are hardly sufficient to
carry them through spring plowing
and planting.

CHICK (JAINS WRITES
ABOUT THE NEW FORI)
J. B. Mellor, of the Mellor Motor
Company received the following let
ter from Mr.® Chick Gains, Superin
tendent of the Nebraska Securities
Corporation, who is driving one of
the new model Fords:
Scotts Bluffs, Nebr., March 14, 1928.
“Dear Mr. Mellor: 1 thought per
haps you would be interested in hear
ing from me in regards to the way
the Ford performed for me since I
left O’Neill.
When I left O’Neill from in front
of your garage the Ford Coupe show
ed 1130 miles on the meter. When I
arrived here Monday evening the
meter showed 1877 miles. I used 31
gallons of gas covering the 741 miles,
or 23.9 miles to the gallon. I traveled
this route for the 10th, 11th and
12th. O’Neill to Albion. Cedar Bluffs,
Greeley, North Loup, Arcadia, Broken
Bow. Broken Bow to Central City
and back to Broken Bow. Broken Bow
to North Platte, Ogallala, Oshkosh,
Bayard, Scotts Bluffs and made two
or three little trips on the side. On
the forepart of trip I had soft heavy
spongy roads. Broken Bow to North
Platte half of it is sandy and from
Broken Bow to Scotts Bluffs I bucked
strong northwest wind.
I think that the car performs won
derfully well under all kinds of con
ditions.
The frost is out of the ground here
and the farmers are working the
ground to beat the band.
With kind regards, I am,
Most truly,
“Chick” E. R. GAINS.”
