The negotiations have just termi nated for the purchase of the Christ Barkening quarter section of land, where he has lived just over the Four Mile creek west of this city. The quarter has one acre short, as that amount has been used for school purposes. Charles C. Parmele was the purchaser, not that Mr. Parmele knows the value of lands, hq does, and is in the market every day, knowing just what a farm will produce, how much per cent the land will pay on the money in vested, and the matter of the land selling for this amount is not a scramble to get the land, for in this purchase it must show capacity for paying a dividend, on the purchase price, and it eventually selling for more money which it is bofind to do. POSTMASTER GENERAL ORDERS New Telephone Toll Rates EFFECTIVE JUNE 21, 1919 OFFERS SEVERAL NEW CLASSES OF SERVICE REDUCES REVENUE OF TELEPHONE COMPANY. A new method of computing charges on telephone toL calls under which all toll rates within the State of Nebraska are placed on a standard basis, became ef fective Saturday, June 21, 1919. A brief description of this new method and of its application to the several classes of ser vice, is given herewith. The rate for any particular class of service may be obtain ed from the long distance operator: "Station to Station" Rate . When a person makes a toll call without spotir lying that conversation is desired with a particu lar person, and the connection is estihlished ami cot versation held, the "station to station" rah; applies. ' "Station to station" calls should be made by number wherever Telephone Directory informa tion is available. Where this information is no available at the calling telephone, such calls may be made by giving the loll operator the name and address of the subscriber at the telephone called. "Person to Person" Rate When a person makes a toll call, specifying that conversation is desired with a particular pel ton and the connection is established and conver sation held with that person, the "person to per son" rate applies. As this service requires a greater amount of operating effort, the rate tor such calls is about one-fourth greater than the "station to station" rate. This "person to person" rate is computed on th" day rate between the points involved, whether the call is made during the day or during th? night, and the minimum charge is 15c. "Report Charge" When a "person to person" caii is made and the particular person desired is not in or will not talk, or when an exact telephone address of the particu lar person desired has not been given and he can ' not be reached at a telephone within one hour a "report charge" applies. Such, a charge also aplies if the calling party is absent when the connection is completed within one hour, or if he refuses to talk. This charge is to cover compensation for the operating work performed and is usually about one-fourth of the "station to station" rate. In any ease where a "report charge" applies, the minimum charge is 10c and the maximum is $2.00. "Appointment" Rate When the calling party in placing his can ap points a definite specified time at which he will talk on a "person to person" basis and the con versation is held at the specified time, the "ap pointment" rate applies. The "appointment" rate is usually about one half greater than the "station to station" rate. The "appointment" rate is computed on the day ivte between the points involved, whether the call H made during the day or during the night, anl the minimum charge is 23c. "Report charges" apply under the same gen eral conditions as specified for "person to person" ca'is. "Messenger" Calls When a call is made on a "person to person" basis and a messenger is required to scciye at tendance of the designated person at the distant point, the "messenger" call rate applies. This rate is the same as the "appointment" rate for the same distance, plus any charge for messenger service. The "messenger" call rate is computed on the day rate between the points involved, whether th call is made during the day or during the night, and the minimum charge is 25c. Messenger charges incurred are to be paid even, if desired conversation is not had. "Report charges' apply under the same general conditions as specified for "person to person" calls. Standard Toll Night Rates The following reduced rates for night service on a "station to station" basis only are effective. S::5ft p. m. to 12:00 midnight About one-half the "station to station" day rate. 12:00 midnight to 4:30 a. m. About one-quarter of the "station to station" day rate. For the purpose of applying night rates, the time of day at the point at which a "station to Hat ion" message originates is used. Day rates apply on calls made at night when the "station to station" charge is less than th; minimum night rate of 25c. "Collect Calls" "Collect calls" are calls for which the charge; are reversed; that is. are to be collected from the subscriber at the distant station at which the call is completed. Such "collect calls" or reversed charges are al lowed only in connection with "person to person" calls. Example Showing Application of New Rates Assuming the air-line distance between toll points to be more than 144 miles, but not more than 152 miles, the following initial period rates for service under the various classes offered would apply: "Station to station" rate $1.00, Completed "person to person" rate 1.25 Completed "appointment" rate 1.50 Completed "messenger call" rate. 1.50 t'lu.s iiicssi-riArer eha Report charge .25 Rate between 8:30 p.m. and 12 midnight, "station to station" service only .50 Rate between 12 midnight and 4:30 a. m.. "station to station" service only .25 The rate for a "station to station" call is gen erally less than the present charge and the "per son to person" rate is a slight increase in some cases. The revenue produced under the new tariff will be less than was received under the old rates. The Postmaster General's classification and rates have been in effect on interstate business fince the first of this yeaY. The Fnited States Supreme Court has estab lished the Postmaster General's authority to pre scribe rates and at 12:01 a. m., June 21. the new long distance rates and classifications became the legal rates on all toll business throughout the United States.
