CHARGE FOR
NEW PHONES
Matter of Extra Money for Installing
New instrument, or Moving
One to Be Tested in
Court

When one Keokuk business man
moved recently, he had to pay SO to
the telephone company, although all
wiring was done and the work Of the
company consisted simply in attaching
a telephone in the new office where
another one had been removed short
ly before.
Another man had to pay So If he
had telephone in his new place of
residence. Complaints against the
new charges have been deep and
rather numerous in Keokuk. Many
Keoluk people will be glad to know
that the matter has been taken into
the United States court in Nebraska
for a test case.
1t is TO be tested there because the
Nebraska railroad commission has de-
cided to contest the right of the post
master-general, through the director
of telephones and telegraph, to go
over the heads of state utilities COM
missions in regulating telephone
charges.
The decision of the court In this
case will apply to every state and
the question involved is of peculiar
interest to local telephone users.

to Have 1t.

Every Keokuk soldier is to have a
Christmas package, even if he hasn't
been over there long enough to send
label home, or has no near rela-
tiyes to whom to send his label.
1t is to be done through the means
OF the Lonesome Label, but there is
something for Keokuk folks to do to
bring it about.
j. Albert Kiedaisch, chairman of
supplies for fighting men, had charge
of that branch of Christmas work In
Keokuk.
Last year hundreds of boys got no
Christmas package, and the American
Red Cross has determined that it
shall not happen this Christmas.
Every one of the more than two
million soldiers in France has been
given Christmas label. Most Of
them have mother, father, sister or
some other near relative who Is wait
ing to receive it, but there are many
thousands who have no near relatives.
All soldiers having no one to whom
they can send the labels have been
asked to turn them over to the Red
Cross. The war department and the
Red Cross are to be Santa Claus to
all those men, only the folks in
America must buy the presents.
The keokuk Persons Part.
Arrangements have been made to
buy at wholesale prices most at
tractive lot of Christmas presents for

Every Keokuk man or woman who
wishes to give box to some soldier
in France, who hasn't any family to
send him gifts, can do SO by sending
So to J. Albert Kideaisch.
This is what So will put into a
package and deliver it: Chocolate,
