The merchants of this city have
united in their efforts to make Wa
Keeney the trade center of this part
of Kansas on Friday and Saturday,
February 18 and 10, 1921. They have
issued one big advertisement on which
an invitation is extended to all people
within a radius of thirty-fve miles
to come here that day to trade
They are offering special inducements
on some things and want them to
come here and learn that WaKeeney
is a good place to trade. They want
to increase the trade territory of Wa
Keeney. They want everyone justly
in this trade territory to get in the
habit of coming here to trade
The merchants of WaKeeney carry
a first class stock of goods at an
times and keep the price marked
within the proper range on the quail
ity of such goods. They are courte-
Gus to all customers, both new and
old. We call attention to the adver-
tisements on the center page of The
World this week and urge our readers
to read the advertiser ents and then
come to WaKeeney. When you get
here tell the merchants that you have
seen their advertisements and have
come to trade with them and they will
treat you right.

INTERESTING TO TELEPHONE
PATRONS

There has been considerable propo-
ganda circulated during the past few
months relative to the increase in
rates asked for by the WaKeeney
Telephone Co. which we wish to cor
rect
One of the things that has come
to our attention is the statement that
we had asked for an increase which
would net US a profit of 8 percent on
a valuation of $68, 900. This is abso-
1utely untrue as we asked for an in
crease of a lower percent on less than
half of the above valuation, and in
case the rate is granted, which is now
pending, we will receive a profit of
less than per cent on the actual capi-
tai invested.
1t seems that the most of the propo-
ganda has been circulated among our
rural subscribers and we wish to call
their attention to the fact that the
chief commodity they have to sell has
increased in value 100 per cent in the
past four years, while up to the first
of September you were receiving tel
ephone service for the same price as
you paid seven years ago.
If the increase which is now pend
ing was to be put into effect the in
crease would be approximately 20
per cent higher than it was seven
years ago, and we wish to ask you
frankly, if that is an unreasonable in
crease in view of the fact that our in
creased cost of operation is, today,
over 100 per cent higher than it was
at the time we purchased the ex-
change, four years ago.
When we speak of the 20 per cent
increase in rural rates we speak only
of those subscribers who paid yearly

HILL CRY MAsoNs WERE HERE

Last Thursday afternoon and even
ing was a time of both refreshment
and labor for the members OF the
Masonic order in this vicinity who
had the privilege of attending the
special meeting of WaKeeney Lodge
which was held on that date The
members of Hill City Lodge had ac-
cepted an invitation to be here on that
date and confer the third degree upon
two candidates. The visitors liberal
ly responded to the invitation and
TWENTY-FIVE or thirty of them
were here The examination and first
section of the degree took place in
the afternoon. At O'Clock a ban
ouet was served after which the re-
mainder of the degree work took
place The banquet was served in
three courses and consisted of oyster
cocktail, rost lamb, potatoes and
gravy, rolls, pickles, coffee and such
other appropriate good things, closing
w \ ice cream and cake Several
young lady members of the Eastern
Star did the serving. Following the
banquet several interesting talks on
Masonic subjects were enjoyed. L. H
Galloway proved to be a cheerful and
excellent POSTMASTER and received re-
sponses from w. J. Beardwell, A s.
Peacock, Hudson Harlan and J. H.
NiesIey- The local Masons have
spoken many words of praise for the
able manner in which the Hill City
brethren put on the work and hope
they will find it convenient to come
here again on some future date.

rate of $15-0O per year, this portion
of our rural subscribers was approx
mately 50 per cent while on the re-
naming 81 per cent there win be less
than per cent increase.
We believe that if any fair minded
man will compare these percentages
they will agree with us that it is NM
reasonable to make the statement
that the telephone company is not
entitled to more revenue.
We would be glad to have any sub
scriber or group of subscribers, who
feel that the increase asked for is UNI
reasonable, come to our Office and go
over the figures with us for we feel
that, If they are fair and honest in
their conclusion, they will agree with
US that the increase is justified.
