Perfect
Satisfaction
That is what every owner of a
South Bend Malleable7 has to say
about this wonderful Range
And swhy should' t they? South Bends
are backed by the maker and dealer.
They're sold to you on guarantee, of
"Satisfaction or Your Money Back"
Realizing that tastes differ in the selection of ranges
as well as in dry goods, wearing apparel, etc., we
have in addition to our South Bends another Range.
Knowing that we must secure a range that would
satisfy we entered upon the task of looking into the
qualities of the many other ranges on the market and
after months of careful inveftigation have decided
to accept the Copper-Clad. They are now on our
floor ready for your inspection, COME IN.

needs trained men. The army de
mands skilled men in all of tho
branches and to that end trade
schools have been established in all
of the camps and army posts whero
the soldier has his choice of trade to
follow. The instruction is given by
those who are trained in the pro
fession of teaching. Schools arc
operated as schools. The school sys
tem, however, is not compulsory, but
the young man of today cannot "wait
for something to turn up;" ho has to
get in line and the training afforded
in the service is so extensive that
there are classes for all ages and
conditions.

between tho ages of 18 and 55, ex
cept those having dependents. Men

peals to them most. Service in the

quires technical training. In tho
Air service alone there arc over -10
trades to choose from. The Field
Artillery and Coast Artillery open a
large field to those who wish Instruc
tion in mechanical, electrical and
radio work. To the young man of
today, Undo Sam is offering a career

ThrcHlicrmcns' Organization
Thre.'-hcrmen have expressed a de
sire to have a meeting called whero
they can discuss and agree upon
some of the problems that pertain to
their work. The principal thing to
decide upon is the uniform price for
threshing.
Meeting
Saturday, July 12, at 'J o'clock p.
m., fharp, in the courtroom of the
court house. All men operating
threshing machines' are urged to bo
present.
Farmers Iliiing Small Rigs
In many neighborhoods farmers
are clubing together and buying
small rigs to do the neighboring
threshing with. Wc have a sample
copy of Constitution and Ry-lnws to
he used for companies of this nature
and would be glad to assist any
neighborhood in the organiaztion of
companies of this kind.
The United States Threshing Divi
sion is offering to conduct three day
short courses in counties that
want them. These short courses arc
for the inexperienced threshermen,
such as neighborhood companies. If
the demand for a course of this kind
is great enough we could probably
land one for Webster County.

Postmaster General Orders New Telephone
Toll Rates-Effective June 21, 1919
Offers Several New Classes of Service-Reduces the
Revenue of Telephone Company
n
A new method of computing charges on
telephone toll cull under which all, toll rates
within the State of Nebraska, are placed on a
standard basin, hecomes effecthe 12:01 a. in.
Juni 21, 1919. A brief description of this new
method and ol its application to the several
classes of service, is given herewith. The rate
for any particular class of service may be oh
taincd from the long distance operator:
"Station to Station" Rate
When a person makes a toll call without
specifying that conversation is desired with
a particular person, and the connection is es
tablished and conversation held, the "station
to staion" rate applies.
"Station to station" calls should be made
by number wherever Telephone Directory in
formation is available. Where this informa
tion is not available at the calling telephone,
such calls mf.y be made by giving the toll
operator the name and nddre.ss of the sub
scriber at the telephone called.
"Person to Person" Rate
When a person makes a toll call, specifying
that conversation is desired with a particular
person and the connection is established and
conversation held with that person, the "per
son to person" rate applies.
As this sen-ice requires a greater amount
of operating effort, the rate for such calls
is about one-fourth greater than the "station
to station" rate.
This "person to person" rate is computed
on tho day rate between tho points involved,
whether the call is made during the day or
during the night, and the minimum charge
is 15c.
"Report Charge"
When a "person to person" call is made and
the particular person desired is not in or will
not talk, or when an exact telephone address
of the particular person desired has not been
given and he can not bo reached at a tele
phone within one hour a "report charge" ap
plies. Such a charge also applies if the calling
party is absent when the connection is com
pleted 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 case where a "report charge" ap
plies, the minimum charge is ,10c and tho
maximum $2.00.
"Appointment" Rate
When the calling party in placing his call
appoints a definite specified time at which ho
will talk on a "person to person" basis and
tho conservation is held at tho specified time,
the "appointment" rate applies.
The "appointment" rate is usually about
one-half greater than the "station to station"
rate.
The "appointment" rate is computed on tho
day rate between the points involved, whether
tho call is made during the day or during the
night, and the minimum charge is 25c.
"Report charges" apply under the same gen
oral conditions as specified for "person to per
son" calls.
"Messenger" Calls
When a call is made on a "person to per
son" basis and a messenger is required to sc
, cure attendance of the designated person at
the distant point, the "mtv.-enger call" rate
applies.
This rate is tho 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,
whother tho call is made during the day or
during the night, and tho minimum charge
is 25c.
Messenger charges incurred are to be paid
even if desired conversation is not held.
"Report charges" apply under the same
t general conditions as specified for "person to
person" calls.
Standard Toll Night Rates
The following reduced rates for night serv
ice on a "station to station" basis only arc
effective 12:01 a. m. Juno 21, 1919:
8:30 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 sta
lion" day rate.
For tho purpose of applying night rates,
the time of day at the point at which a "sta
tion to station" message originates is used.
Day rates apply on calls made at night
when tho "station to station" charge is less
than the minimum night rate of 25c.
"Collect Call,"
"Collect calls" arc calls for which tho
charges are reversed; that is, are to be col
lected from the subscriber at the distant sta
tion at which the call is completed.
Such "collect calls" or reversed charges arc
allowed only in connection with "person to
person" calls.
Example Showing Application of
New Rates
Assuming tho air-line distance between toll
points to ho 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 cnll" rate 1.50
Plus messenger charges.
Report charge .. 25
Rate between 8:30 p. m. and
12:00 midnight, ."station to
station" service only 50
Rate between 12:00 midnight and
4:30 a. m., "station to station"
service only .25
The rate for a "station-to-station call is
generally loss than the present chnrgo and
the pcrson-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 busi
ness since the first of this year.
The United States Supreme Court has estab
lished tho Postmaster General's authority to
prescribe rates and at 12:01 a. in., June 21,
tho now long distance rates and classifica
tions are the legal rates on all toll business
throughout the United States.
