B47-F9d30t Omaha Clergyman Joins in Fight to Keep C. A. Fulmer While there is some talk of the possibility that Chancellor Clark A. Fulmer will not be with the Nebraska Wcsleyan university long, some of his friends and alumni of the school are sending an appeal to the mem bers of the board of trustees of the college to retain him. A printed cir cular is being sent obt, signed by Ofan K. llowen. superintendent 01 city schools at Wayne, and Karl E. Bowen, pastor Pearl Memorial Meth odist church of Omaha. The circular sets forth that Chan cellor Fulmer is loved and respected by all his students; that he is ad mired by the alumni; that he is held in esteem by the school men and women of the state; that he is in touch with the high schools of the state as perhaps no one else; that he is recog nized by the ministers as a great Christian educator; that he is ranked by the educators and members of the faculties of the other universities as a leader of remarkable ability; that he has on various occasions been of fered the presidencies of the Peru and Kearney State normals, declining both offers, thinking to serve his church for years to come as chancel lor of Wesleyan university; that he has succeeded in doubling the at tendance at Wesleyan in the last ten years. First Crop and Soil Report Of Season Advance Prices The time of year has arrived when crop reports have a bearing on the market price of grain. The first of the season came this week and quickly shot wheat up 2 cents a bushel. Cm cago houses wired the Omaha Grain exchange that reports from Missouri and Kansas indicated that the winter crop had been seriously damaged by cold weather and a lack of moisture. Immediately following the Chicago report the May wheat option jumped to $1.77 and the May corn option to ?l.Uo per bushel, iter the crop damaae reports were partially con tradicted and May wheat sagged to $1.7354, later going up to fl.s. Lorn in the meantime sold on to $i.uifc, bnt subseotientlv lost a half cent The accumulations of wheat over the holiday aggregated 144 carloads and on the whole the cash market was a cent np, sales being made at $1.77 1.80. There was a strong demand millers from the north being on the market for large quantities. Corn receipts were 181 carloads and the sales were made at 95J96M cents per bushel, the prices being three-fourths ot a cent on irom mou dav. Oats were unchanged and sold at 54V4(nJ55 cents. Receipts were thirty- six carloads. Experts from the East Here To See Bertschy's Process Harry Walker, steel expert of the Joseph P. Ryerson company, Chicago, is in Omaha seeing a demonstration of the discovery of A. J. P. Bertschy for making tool steel. He expressed himself astounded at the discovery and says it marks a new epoch. The bertschy process pro duces the exact steel required by gov ernment specifications for bayonets and also for armor plate, and pro duces it at a very small fraction of the cost hitherto. Two other men were in the city yesterday from the east to investi gate the process, J hey saw, a twenty penny hail turned into a cold chisel of greatest hardness betorc their eyes. Thief in Court House Robs Public Pay Station Court house sleuths are trying to solve the mystery ot the public tele phone pav station robbery and at the same time are admiring the daring of the individual who was bold enough to select the big rotunda of the county hall of justice as the scene of his operations. The telephone pay station in the court house robbed Sunday night or early Monday morning by some one who practically dismantled the booth in his attempts to get at the $3 or $4 in nickels, dimes and quarters. An unsuccessful attempt to rob the pay station was made several days ago. The crook was frightened away be fore he got to the money box. Man Arrested; Sold His Camera to Get a Meal Stranded in Omaha, Charles Wil son, steamfittcr, tried to pawn a camera so that he could purchase something to eat for his wife and self. He was arrested, charged with steal ing the camera, but evidence in the police court showed that he was the rightful owner. He said that he had started from Sacramento with his wife and was held up nearly two weeks by the snow drifts in Wyo ming, which- caused him to spend practically all of his available cash. He was directed to a job. HEAD OFFICERS OF THE WOODMEN HERE Check of Head Offices Shows Wonderful Growth of the Organization.

How We Anticipate Your Telephone Reeds The installation of every new telephone means more than placing the telephone instru ment in the subscriber's home or office. It also means giving the new subscriber bis share in the pole lines, the cables, the switch board and other complex mechanism of the tele phone plant. We must foresee the needs of the public. We must estimate in advance the probable num ber of telephone users and where they will live. We must anticipate the increases in population and development along various streets. We Must Be Prepared When telephone service is ordered we must have the wires in place, the switchboard equipped for the new subscriber and other intricate mechanism installed so service may be provided without unnecessary delay. We build for the future. We aim to antici pate the telephone needs of our patrons. We must add to our equipment ahead of present re quirements. Building for the future is very expensive, but in providing telephone service in this com munity we feel that our duty requires us to fur nish the best possible SERVICE at the lowest possible rates consistent with such a grade of service. Anticipation of our patrons' telephone needs in advance so as not to keep them waiting, is a part of our policy of "serving the public well".
