REDUCTION IN WONG
DISTANCE RATES
Ninth In Ten Years-Statement of
w. s. Clifford, Pres. of Amer
lean Telephone and Telegraph

The American Telephone and
Telegraph company announce $12,-
100000 reduction in Long Distance
Toll Rates, effective January IS
the ninth reduction in ten years.
Commenting on the new rates,
Walter S. Clifford, President of the
company, said:
by it's order of September
last, the Federal Communications
Commission instituted it's first in
vestigation of the long distance
telephone rates of this company.
THE company was very glad to
participate in conferences with re-
representatives. of the Commission in
an effort to work out the present
rate problems by informal discus
sions rather than by the usual type
of formal hearings, which are Of
ten highly controversial, long
drawn out, and very costly to all
concerned.
1T is gratifying that this effort
has proved successful. The reduc-
ton of $12,000,000 on an annual
basis, in the long lines toll charges.
is substantially in excess of the re-
duction the company thought
should be made at this time. We
have decided to accept this reduc-
ton, however, in view of continued
improvement in business conditions
and in view particularly of the ad-
vantages which this method of deal
ing with tate problems promises for
the public as well as for the Com
mission and the Company.
1.-THE new rates will be effective
as soon as the necessary schedules
can be prepared and placed in the
hands of operators throughout the
country"

Minnesota To Remain Tbird


Determined that Minnesota
maintain dts position as third high
est in the country in the per cap
ita sale of tuberculosis Christmas
Seals, committees in every county
are this week making a final eff
fort to reach their quotas. Extra
contributions to the campaign are
invited this week.
In 1885 only two states in the
country, Delaware and Connecticut,
beat Minnesota's record of a sale
of more than five cents worth of
Seals for every man, woman and
child in the state.
Hennepin and Ramsey counties
with per capita records of approx
mately nine cents led the State last
year. In counties between 5000
and 100000 population, Winona led
in 1885 with record of selling
seven tuberculosis Seals for every
man, woman and child in the
county. Other counties towards
the top of the list were: Goodhue,
Steele, Olmsted, Dakota, Wabasha
and Itasca, with a record of more
than five cents per capita. In
counties below $4,000 population,
Lake led with per capita sale of
seven cents. Other counties in this
group selling more than five cents
per capita were: Lake Of the
Woods, Watonwan and Isanti.
Among the towns of the State
striving to hold their places are
Wanamingo which held the 1885
record for the highest per capita
sale with a record of 26.0 cents and
the following towns which held
first places in their population
group were as follows: Cambridge,
1879; Crookston, 10. Quota-winning
towns for 1885, which are also
making special effort to establish
new records this year, were Brain
erd, Waseca, Monticello and
Strandquist.
cit is not too late to help the
Christmas Seal fund.-" the local
committee states. "The tuber-
culosis campaign does not expect
a great deal from any one but it
needs something from everybody.
Every penny counts. A contribu-
ton is an investment in health
protection for your own family.
Reports are due early in January
and we welcome contributions of
any amount during the next two
weeks"

CURIOUS
CHRISTMAS
CUSTOMS

Note-In an intimate view OF
Christmas in Scandinavia we
present the impressions of Mr.
and Mrs. A. N. Forsberg this
week. Mrs. Forsberg, born in
rural Norway, has described the
customs in Norway and Mr..
Forsberg affirmed that the GUS
toms are similar to his own
country of Sweden.
For twenty days the people of
Norway and Sweden observe
Christmas and the Yuletide is
carried over until the thirteenth
of January. 1t is considered i'll
hammered not to feed anyone
visiting at your home during
the nineteen days following
Christmas. Young people have
parties and dancing, and only
necessary labor is done during
the twenty days.
Christmas Eve in rural Nor
way is one of solemn religious
observance. In the family circle
coffee is served in the early
darkness of late afternoon, and
supper is had about nine o'clock.
Just before supper the family
gathers around the shimmering
light of candles and the father
reads the Lords Prayer. All
join together in singing, among
others, that carol, The Lord is
Born in Bethlehem" Even their
gatherings in the school house
to which all the people come are
reserved in religious dignity.
There is a Christmas tree, and
carols and hymns are sung.
On Christmas Day no one
even calls on his neighbor. OBJ
served religiously, the day is
set aside for church services
and the family circle. It is look
ed upon with disfavor to have
Christmas trees in the churches,
but in the homes and the schools
trees are decorated with can
dies, crosses, and images of the
Mary. In Sweden church observ-
ances begin at six o'clock on
Christmas morning, and many
leaving their homes at four
o'clock carry large burning
brands to light their way.
Gifts made in the home were
most acceptable. And the more
practical gifts of clothing were
always included. 1t was not
considered good form to appear
during the Yuletide in the ap-
parel that had been worn
throughout the year, but rather
everyone was completely in new
garb from tip to toe for Christ
mas. Scarves were suitable gifts
for the men and neckwear, pins,
and brooches for the women
were very good.
For the children of the Land
of the Midnight Sun there is no
Santa Claus. Instead there is a
Spirit, called the Christmas
Man whose task it is to find out
all the good children. During
the Christmas a variety of good
things are served specially. A
combination dish of pork cook
ed with variety of large peas
is one of the tasty Yuletide
dishes. Lutefisk and lefSa are,
of course, included in the Christ
mas seasons good things, and a
whole host of fancy cookies such
as fatimans and yulacacca are
included.

FEDERAL FORCES
IN D. c. DECLINE
Figure at End of August
115,569-Gain Over
Nation Recorded.

August although it expanded In the
country as a whole, the Civil Service
Commission today reported.
Locally. the employment figure was
1859, as compared to 1902 on
the last day Of July and 117,103 on
June 30.
Nationally, the increase was from
7l4,600 In July to 718.697 in August.
The net growth-slightly in excess
OF $500 employes-was due principally
to the customary seasonal pickup in
the work of the Engineer and Quarter
master Corps of the War Department.
The August pay roll was sl27,434.-
AT, and in addition there was an
expenditure of s1,327 ,678 for nearly
4l,000 temporary workers in the
Agriculture Department for an ag-
gregate of sl28,762,095. This was a
decline from July, when the total
was $131 $50 1896.
The drop in District employment
was accounted for in great part by
reductions in temporary forces. There
was q gain in permanent workers.
Over the country. the commission
pointed out, the principal reductions
were in agencies and parts Of agencies
paid from emergency funds.
