Frank Manchester was in Loup City
last Friday with a load of high priced
hogs. He brought hack some wire
and a few bales of hay.
We see by the Ashton Herald that
our neighbor Walter Pain has pur
chased a new Reo car and is in the
ring with the rest of his friends.
Isn't it nice since the state went
dry. Mamma thinks itfs because papa
always gets home early and never
drinks more than one drink at a time
of good cool water.
While Mr. and Mrs. John Pelanous
kl's children were gathering flowers
last Saturday they ran onto a large
hull snake which frighehed them and
lhey called for mamma to come and
bring the shot gun which she did and
brought three shells and killed Mr.
snake. Mrs. Pelanouski was practic
ing up so she wll he ready to fight

tie Harnett had a beautiful gown of
pink silk trimmed with white shnd
dow lace and pink ribbon, Martin

Manchester place, vacated by Frank
Manchester, which the groom has
rented for tho season. The young
couple have our best wishes and may
thoy see nothing hut happiness. The
bride and groom received many useful
and beautiful presents.
The Reason
for Toll Charges
Loss than one-fourth of our
subscribers make three
fourths of all the long dis
tuuee telephone calls.
The long distance lines
:■ ore used only occasionally by
the large majority of tele
phone subscribers.
For tills reason a charge Vs
made for each long distance
call rather than cover the ex
pense of providing this serv
ice by increasing the local
telephone rates.
; It would he very conven
ient not to have to pay extra
to talk to neighboring towns.
If we gave free long dis
tance service, however, it
would mean that all tele
phone subscribers would pay
; the cost of maintaining the
: long distance lines which are
used generally by only a few.
