What Is a Fair Telephone Rate
A historical notice explains telephone rates must cover service costs, depreciation, fixed charges, and a fair return on invested capital. It argues rates should reflect similar risk to other enterprises while highlighting maintenance, salaries, and the need for public understanding of the complex central office operations. It invites subscribers to visit the office to learn how the system operates and to foster mutual helpfulness between company and customers.

Do in manger and suffrage debate in a column
A rough colonial era paragraph attacks women who oppose suffrage, likening them to a dog in the manger. It quotes a Jefferson Bee critic and contrasts it with support for women’s voting rights. The piece also notes an Algona Upper Des Moines Republican remark about prohibition and equal suffrage keeping Jews progressive, plus a Bengal cattle improvement note citing climatic, grazing, and breeding issues and a director's recommendations.
