Pollock Parmele, FLATTSMOUTH - - NEBRASKA From Wednesday's Dally District Manager J. C. Kuykendall, of the Nebraska Gas and I-.lectric company, sent out notices yesterday to all patrons of his company, an nouncing a new scale of prices for the gas and electric service, which he savs means about ten per cent in crease over present rates. The mini mum charge has been increased from f0 cents to $1.00. The new rates will po into effect immediately following September meter readings, which usually take place about the 20th to the 25th of the month. The company claims that it is im possible for them to furnish the ser vice for less than the new rate and pay expenses of operation. Coal coke and everything used in the making of light and gas have taken another big leap since the new freight rates have gone in effect, and they are either compelled to increase or close down the plant. Following is the new scale of rates. as announced: ELECTRIC RATES Residence Lighting: Fifteen cents per k. w. hour, with a minimum charge of $1.00 per month. A dis count of 10 will be allowed if the account is more than $1.00 a month, and paid on or before the 15th of each month. Commercial Lighting: From 1 k w. to 50 k. w. per month, fifteen cents per k. w.; from 50 k. w. to 100 k. w. per month, ten cents per k. w. ; upwards of 200 k. w. per month eight cents per k. w. A minimum charge of $1.00 per month and a dis count of 10 if the account is more than $1.00 and paid before the 15th of each month. Power Rate: From 1 k. w. to 200 k. w. per month, eight and one-half cents per k. w.; from 200 k. w. to 400 k. w. per month, seven cents per k. w.; from S00 k. w. to 1,000 k w. per month, five cents per k. w. ; upwards of 1.000 k. w. per month four cents per k. w. Minimum charge of fifty cents per horsepower per month. A discount of 10 will be allowed if the account is more than $1.00 and is paid before the 15th of each month. GAS RATES rrom 1 c. r. to 0.000 c. 1. per month, $2.2o per 1,000 c. f. : from 5.000 c. f. to 10.000 c. f. per month $2.05 per 1,000 c. f. ; upwards of 10.000 c. f. per month, $1.95 per 1.000 r. f.. with a minimum charge of $1.00 per month. A iscount of 5 will be allowed if the account is more than $1.00 and is paid before the 15th of each month. GRIN AND PAY IT Some of our patrons, also consum ers of both gas and electricity, have come to us with the question. "What are 011 going to do now?" We feel that we are compelled to do just as we have been doing for the past three years with everything else that has been sold and delivered to us pay the price, if we '.an, and when the time arrives that we can not pay, quit using it. We believe the light company has the right to place a reasonable profit on its services, but no one seems to be sufficiently interested to take the time to investigate their books for the purpose of ascertaining whether or not there might be an overcharge, even though the company would wel come such an investigation, so, as we said before, there is nothing left j for us to do but pay the price and continue with both gas and electric J light and power. From Wednesday's Dally. Last evening at the public library building, the canipfire girls of the "Kezhekone" order who have for their guardian, Mrs. Harry Smith and 1 Ly the way she is one of the most -energetic of workers for the girls and looks after their welfare and the ! best interest of the camp in the most approved manner, gave a meeting in ; honor 01 their mothers, in wnlch the! character of the program was denoted a "ceremonial meeting." This was verv interesting meeting and after the conclusion of the same the entire crowd was invited to the refreshment parlors of Mr. Guy Morgan, where the girls of the camp had prepared a real treat and surprise for the moth ers in the shape of a luncheon, hav ing the balcony decorated witn tne colors of the camp. The mothers surprise and enjoyment was beyond description and to say that all enjoy ed the occasion to the limit would be putting it rulidly. ?4 PLAYS "TOM SAWYER;" HAS OTHER AMBITIONS From Wednesday's Dally. You'd think a boy of twelve years who is a featured player in a big mo tion picture production like "Huckle berry Finn" to be shown at the Par mele Theater Friday and Saturday of this week, would either be perfectly satisfied or else have high ambitions to rise In his profession. Young Gor don Griffith, who has the role of Tom Sawyer in this fine film version of Mark Twain's immortal story, comes under neither of these descriptions. Since the age of seven, Master Grif fith has been a screen actor and a mighty successful one. Moreover, both his parents are on the stage. But Gordon has aspirations in oth er directions. He intends to become a civil engineer, and with this end in view is saving every cent of mon ey he earns and using every spare moment in order that he may attend Stanford University and get his C. E. degree. CLASH IN THE ALLEY From Wednesday's Dally. This morning, while the car of C. E. Hartford, which he maintains tor delivering coal and feed, was passing through the alley south ot Main street, it colleded with a buggy be ing driven by a man named Schaer fer.
