Earl Jones MEATS AND GROCERIES Phone 30 2.4 N. Main Street May Ask for Telephone Franchise in Butler. Farmers For some time the owners of the farmers telephone lines running out of this city have been somewhat dis- satisfied with the service that they have been receiving and Saturday about fifty stockholders of the differ- ent lines met at the court house and effected an organization and elected the following — officers: President, Col. C. E. Robbins; vice-president, Edson Snyder; sceretary, W. G. Har- per. Thé telephone situation was tak- en up and discussed, especially the new franchise that the Butler and Rich Hill Telephone Company — is asking of the Butler city council, It was the unanimous opinion of those present that if a clause granting then the same privileges that they now en- joy and guaranteeing them good ser- vice was not incorporated into the franchise that they apply to the city council for a franchise to maintain a switchboard and telephone exchange of their own in Butler. A committee, consisting of D. the Summit Mutual; 1. of the Mt. Pleasant Mu- . Williams, of Butler, Peru and Pleasant Gap Mutual; N, B. Ber- ry, of the Lost Corner Mutual and Everett Drysdale, of the Charlotte Mutual, held a meeting in the grand jury room at the court house Wednesday afiernoon. On Saturday afternoon, J y there will be another mecting of the entire organ- ization at the court house. of y 20, Save Coal. The county fuel committee is au- thorized to restrict the delivery of coal in favor of household users, Bus- iness hours of stores can be reduced; places of nisements shut down; outdoor lighting cut to a minimum every night in the week. It is re- quested to take such steps as are nec- essary to reduce the consumption of coal, that actual suffering may be prevented. The committee hopes that all will so act, that it will be un- necessary to, issue any orders, In this connection we would suggest that the church societies hold union mectings for a time. The coal that , can be saved by our people in Bates county would go to supply those who are in great need in other parts of the country. We feel sure that our people, if they chave not been giving consideration to fuel saving, will patriotically respond to this request. C. A. Denton, . Chairman. | week with Icie Wigger.
