NO PROSPECT OF
DROP IN PRICE
ON hardware
Retail Dealers Of State Hold
Convention at Castle Hotel;
Charles Shahan Of
Kearney President.

No decided drop in prices OF hard
ware articles is anticipated by the re-
tail hardware dealers of Nebraska,
who are holding their eighteenth an
nual convention, from February 4
to 7, inclusive, at the Castle hotel,
in this city.
Prices will not drop until condi-
tons in this country and in Europe
become more stabilized seems to be
the opinion prevalent among the
hardware men. Though government
restrictions on the output of hard
ware articles have been lifted the
retailers can see no immediate pros
pect Of a decline in prices. The op-
posite may even take place. accord
ing to many of the dealers, because
of the increased competition for raw
materials which the lifting of re-
strictions will bring. .....
Charles Shahan of Kearney, one
of the best known hardware dealers
in the state, is the president of the
association. Fred w. Ebinger of
Plainview is the first vice president,
while L. w. Waldorf of Western,
Neb., is the second. Nathan Roberts
of Lincoln is secretary and w. c.
Klein of Milford is treasurer. The
men were elected to their respec-
tive offices in the 1918 convention
held at Lincoln. a.
More than a thousand paid mem
bers are on the associations books
and soon every retail hardware deal
err in the state will be member of
the organization, according to Sec
rotary Roberts.
Mayor Delivers Address.
The convention was opened Tues
day morning by Mayor E. P, Smith,
who delivered a short address to the
members on their opportunities and
their responsibilities.
The hardware exhibit at the au-
ditorium is one of the most complete
ever presented. George II. Dietz
is in charge of the exhibits. The
exhibit ranges from recently patent
ed pipeless furnaces, which furnish
heat in the winter and act as ven
tilators in the summer, TO the latest
IT. pocket knives.
Ninety exhibitors show their
wares in the auditorium.

OTUART WALKERS production
of "The Book of Job" produced

of February IL. 1T called for bold
man to find in the Bible the very text
of a play to be seen in a theater Just
off Broadway" said the Outlook of
March 20, 1918. Mr.. Walker used
the King James version as text
without alteration, and a mod
ern audience found Job a human
figure, his friends human figures
not ancients concerned with ancient
problems, but men of all times. The
revival will duplicate. the original
production, with its impressive light
ing, scenery by Frank ]. Zimmerer
and special music by Elliot Schenck
George Gaul will again be seen as
Job-"a personification of dignity,
restraint and power"
One of the most elaborate and pre-
tentious of modern melodramas will
be presented at the Boyd next week,
when William A. Brady's THE Man

first Omaha showing. The company
has been in St. Louis and Kansas
City, following a long stay in Chi
cago, and has duplicated its New
York success wherever it has been
shown. In both the Missouri towns
it stayed two weeks and extra matt
nees had to be played to satisfy the
demand for seats.
1.-THE Unmarried Mother" is at
tracing even more attention at the
Boyd on its return engagement than
it did last summer when first shown
here. Daily matinees are affording
the women folks, who are interested
in the question, an opportunity to
see this strong presentation of the
point.
Charm, dainty caprice, roguish
whimsicality are attributes of Grace
Dunbar Nile, who is seen to adj
vantage this week at the Orpheum
theater in the one-act comedy, pet
ticoats," by John B. Hymer. Nor
is she the only one of the bill to
reach a high plane of artistic merit.
Others of distinction are the grand
opera vocalists, Agnes Berri and
Irene JONAH, who have come to the
vaudeville stage after having won
wide recognition as singers while
members of the Boston and Chi
cago Grand Opera companies.

is "Camilla's Birds" an aggregation

"station to Station" Service
The "station to station"
rate applies when a distant
place is called without asking
to talk to particular person
but to anyone at the telephone
designated. Such calls must
be made either by giving the
telephone number wanted or
the name or address under
which the telephone is listed.
If the calling party asks to
talk to a particular person the
"person to person" rate, which
is higher, is charged.
The basis of all charges on
long distance telephone calls
under the new regulation is
the "station to station" rate.
This is determined by the air
line distance between toll
points and is uniform for the
same distance throughout the
country. The rate is comput-
ed, for the initial period of
conversation, on the basis of
5 cents for each six miles up
to "a miles and 5 cents for
each eight miles beyond that
distance.
''Person to Person" Service
When a toll call is made,
specifying that conversation is
desired with a particular per-
son and the connection is es-
tablished and conversation
held with that person, the
"person to person" rate APP
plies.
As this service requires a
greater amount Of operating
effort, the rate for such calls
is ABOUT one-fourth greater
than the "station to station"
rate.
No ''person to person" call
is accented, where the station
to station" rate is less than Is
cents.
Report Charge"
The report charge" applies
when a "person to person"
call, an appointment" call or
a messenger" call is made

sired is not in or will not talk,
or when an exact telephone
Omaha daily bee., 1919-02-05

address of the particular per-
son desired has not been given
and he cannot be reached at a
telephone within one hour.
Such a charge also applies
if the calling party is absent
when the connection is COM
pleted within one hour, or if
he refuses to talk.
This charge is to cover COM
pensation for the operating
work performed and is usually
about one-fourth of the "sta-
ton to station" rate.
appointment" Rate
When the calling party in
placing his call appoints a
definite specified time at
which he will talk on a "per-
SON to person" basis and the
conversation is held accord
ingly, the appointment" rate
applies.
The appointment" rate is
usually about one-half greater
than the "station to station"
rate.
No appointment call is ac-
cepted where the "station to
station" rate is less than is
cents.
"Report charges" apply I'M
der the same general condi-
tions as specified for "person
to person" calls.
Messenger" Calls
When a call is made on a
iperson to person" basis and a
messenger is required to Sc
cure attendance of the desig-
mated person at a public pay
station at the distant point,
the messenger cali rate APP
plies.
This rate is the same as the
appointment" rate for the
same distance, plus any charge
for messenger service.
Messenger charges incurred
are to be paid even if desired
conversation is not held.
No messenger call" is ac-
copied where the station to
station" rate is less than Is
cents.
Report charges" apply I'M
der the same general condi-
tions as specified for "person
to person" calls.

"CoIIect Calls"

Collect Calls
"Collect calls" are calls for
which the charges are re-
versed; that is, are to be col.
lected from the subscriber at
the distant station at which
the call is completed.
Such "collect calls" or re-
versed charges, are allowed
only in connection with "per-
son to person" calls.
