PRICE, $1.00 PER YEAR Thursday, November 22, 1917. It is to be hoped that the city coun- cil will approach the subject of grant- ing a twenty year franchise to the Butler-Rich Hill Telephone Company with the caution which has character- ized their deliberations in many, mat- ters of much fess weight. In these days of progress and rapid change,! twenty years is a long, long time to saddle the city with a system that is to say the least hardly up to date in all respects at the outset. In the granting of a franchise of any sort or length, the first’ consideration must be for the protection of the public in the matter of béth rates and service, and the proposed! franchise certainly is not clear as to exactly what the public may expect in either point. A franchise of any length is a most valuable concession and while the management of the telephone sys- | Board received the following from the nan you place yourself on etd as vine to profit at the ex- pense of someone else. Is that self respect? Is that not the principle of the sponge to absorb everything and give nothing? Maybe this has never occurred to you before.

Saturday’ the Local Exemption district board at Kansas City: “The certificate of discharge issued by the District Board to Otis Norman Eggleson, serial No. 677, is: hereby revoked.” : This will probably end the hardest fight for exemption put up by any man from Bates county drawn for service in the National army. Eggle- son was among the first drawn. He filed exemption claims with the local board who went into the case very carefully and rejected his plea for exemption. He then appealed to the district board at Kansas City, which upheld the action of the local board. He then appealed to the President, claiming that he should be exempted on industrial grounds. It was thought that this would end the matter, and the local board was very much sur- prised to receive a notice about two weeks ago that the district board had reopened the case and granted the claim for exemption on the ground that Eggleson was mentally and phy- sically unfitted for military duty. It now appears that the district board was not entirely satisfied after they had_ granted the exemption COAT or SU When you go out on the street—to church—the theatre or any social gathering the style and quality, combined with a becoming color, is mostly by which you are judged.

This is the Truth. Are you a sponge? Are you'a par- asite?’ You would rather resent it if anyone were even to intimate that you were such, and yet there are rep- utable citizens of Butler who pay to churches and who are both sponges and parasites in-a civic way.
