make any New Year's resolutions. But didn't you sort
of promise yourself that this year you were really going
to open a Savings Account and add a little something
to it, regularly?
A Savings Account begun now during the very
first month of the New Year can amount to a tidy sum
before the year is over. And before any more days slide
by, don't you think it would be a good idea to come in
and get started?

has served the people of Glenwood
as their hotel for this half century.

WED 1,808 COUPLES
Fremont, Neb., Jan. 3. County
Judge Waldo Winstersteen retired
from office here yesterday with a re
cord of l.SOS marriage ceremonies
performed during his nineteen years
on the bench. Two things, he says,
have kept him from reaching the
two thousand mark in ceremonies
performed, the first being the ten

for two years, and the second his re
fusal to marry any couples he thought
unfitted for married life.
Stove Creek Gets
Into the Gravel
Game for 6 Miles
Petition Filed for East and West
Road Through the Precinct to
Aid Farmers of Precinct
Another move toward making a
fine county highway system and
meeting the fifty-fifty proposition of
the county commissioners to aid the
graveling movement, was taken to
day when a delegation of Elmwood
citizens comprising John Gerry
Stark, George Blessing of the Leader
Echo, Henry Clapp, and Raymond
Eveland. visited the office of County
Clerk, George R. Sayles and filed
their petition for gravel.
The petition as filed is for a road
six miles in length and extending
from the Tipton precinct to the
Weeping Water precinct line and
serving a great many of the people
of Stove Creek precinct.
The petition requests the county
commissioners to authorize the levy
of 1,1-10 mills for a one year period
to meet the half of the cost of the
gravel and matching dollars with the
county in the graveling of the roads.
This project is one that will give
a much needed road to the people
in that section of the county and the
enterprise and push of the residents
of Stove Creek in pulling themselves
out of the mud is to be commended
and should be a great example to
other sections where there is still
the muddy roads to defy travel in
bad weather and exacting a cost in
mud and inconvenience far greater
than the cost of the graveling.

New Rates will
Aid Long Dis
tance Messages
Manager Jensen of Local Exchange
of Lincoln Telephone Co. Dis
cusses the Rates.
From Thursday' Pally
An application has been made to
the Nebraska State Railway commis
sion by the Lincoln Telephone and
Telegraph company asking for a re
duction in long distance telephone
rates to become effective February 1,
1929, between points, where the pres
ent station-to-station day rate is be
tween 90c and $5.50 per call, an
nouncement was made today by C. II.
Jensen, manager of the Lincoln Tele
phone and Telegraph company. The
new schedule will reduce 5c to 25c per
call the present day rates for station-to-station
service where the above
charges apply. The evening and night
rates, which are provided only on
station-to-station service, will remain
unchanged. A proportionate reduc
tion will apply on charges for person-to-person
calls.
A station-to-station call is one on
which, the calling party expresses a
willingness to talk to anyone at the
telephone called, while a person-to-person
call is one on which the call
ing party asks to speak to a desig
nated person. This is the second re
duction in long distance rates offered
to the public by the Lincoln Tele
phone & Telegraph company over a
period of more than a year, and the
third reduction in two years and four
months. The reductions which are
being made are the further result of
improvement which has been brought
about by telephone companies, par
ticularly the C. L. R. method of oper
ating. Another is the increasing re
liance upon the telephone by busi
ness and social institutions between
distance points which has been stim
ulated by the improvement which has
been made with the speed in which
the out-of-town calls are handled.
More than 90 of the calls of the
Lncoln Telephone & Telegraph com
pany are now handled while the sub
scriber remains at the telephone.
Further development in devices and
methods has reduced the cost of lines
and has a part in making these re
ductions possible. Another feature
of this new schedule is a reduction
in the rates for appointment and
messenger calls. After February 1st
these classes of service will be pro
vided at person-to-person rates. The
charge for messenger service will be
added as heretofore.
Under the new schedule there will
be no change in the time for placing
evening, and night calls. The even
ing rates apply from 7:00p. m. to
8:30 p. m., while the night rates are
effective from 8:30 p. m. to 4:30 a.
m. This reduction In long distance
rates with other reduction made
the last few years, is in keeping with
the company's policy of giving the
very best service at the lowest pos
sible cost consistent with financial
safety.
