give the name and address first, then
go on with the order Saturday" he
said, "a lady called up the store and
said: Send me a pound Of coffee.
What name, please?' answered the
clerk; and a pound of sugar what
name, please| and so on, and finally
she hung up the receiver without CIV
ing the name at all. There are many
cases like this, and most of the blame

Forty thousand feet of telephone
cable has been approved and will be
sent to the local Office of the Nebras-
ka Telephone company for the i'm
provement of telephone lines through
the city of Norfolk. On account of
the increase and many changes of ca
BILE from streets to alleys, the local
office has found itself short on cable,
with the result that the enormous
amount of cable is being shipped here.
A new cable will be strung from the
telephone office to Main street and
there divided, one strand going east
about three-quarters of mile, an
other piece going north on Third to
Elm, where it is divided, going to
Fourth street and to Edgewater Park
and through the alleys OF Third and
: Fourth, south to Omaha avenue. On
account of the tree complications in
the streets the telephone company is
> gradually taking the cables from the
streets and putting them in the alleys.
