THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1913. PLATTSMOUTH SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL. PAGE 7. "For Efficiency in Conversation TELEPHONE!" "The highest point of efficiency inthe art of eenversation," said a prominent financier recent ly, "is, to my mind, attained in talking over the telephone. There is no waste of time in a tele phone talk, no formality, no introductory chat about politics or weather." "A personal interview that consumes fifteen minutes of my time may be condensed into three minutes by Telephone. I have no doubt that business men regard the telephone as superior to either a letter or an interview because it com bines the advantages of both." The telephone allows the business man to attend to the many little details of his day's work without was of time. It cuts down un necessary moves and produces real results with the least effort When you want to TAK TELEPHONE. Lincoln Telephone and Telegraph Company J. K. POLLOCK, Local Manager P. fil.

Receives Samples of Rice. J. F. Stull, who has been here visiting for the past few weeks, received a box containing samp les of rice and sugar cane grown on his place in -Louisiana. The samples were sent by Mrs. Stull, who is at home. A sample of the rice was left at this ollice and seems like a mighty fine variety, which Mr. Stull says will make between sixty and seventy bush els to the acre. The marketing price of the highest grades of rice in his locality is usually about two and one-half cents per pound, so when seventy bushels are raised to the acre it makes a pretty good crop.

Beit home, south of this city, the occasion being the celebrating of the birthdays of Mr, Beil and Mrs. Jack Mc.Xatt, it being the twenty- eighth anniversary of Mrs. lieil and the fortieth of Mrs. McNait.

Archer was filled by a number of direlicts. all of whom were charged with being intoxicated. and from the appearance of the prisoners thus charged it could readily be seen was only too true and the protests of some of the prisoners was unavailing, as the court was firmly convinced that they had been indulging too fieely of the sparkling extract of corn i juice. Tracy Jackson was one of the prisoners arraigned and as the court had been visited on Friday by Tracy while in a stale of exhilaration, there was no sympathy given the prisoner bv the court and Tracy was warned to seek more congenial climes before the setting of an other sou. and he promised to get himself hence, and in the word? of the poet, "shake the dust of this little city from off his pedal extremities." William Long and M. A. Monahan were also callers al the court under the charge of being intoxicated and .were as sessed a fine of $2 and costs, which made it necessary for them to shell out 5 in good American cash before the scene of out raged justice could be placated, and the prisoners were then re leased to go their way rejoicing.
