Wilson For Overseer
The Home News presents to
its readers this week the au
thorized announcement of Mr.
Granville Wilson as a candi
date for the office of road
overseer of DeView township,
subject to the action of the
Democratic primary election,
May 28, 1918.
We feel that Mr. Wilson is
too well known to the voters
at whose hands he seeks this
office to need any introduction
here, but should there be any
who do not know him, we will
state that he is thoroughly
capable of and we believe if
elected, will make the district
a good official in the above ca
pacity and we ask that his
candidacy receive your care
ful consideration before cast
ing your ballot.

The Ascending Cost Of
Giving Telephone Service
While the cost of most of the necessities of life
has been going up for the past three years, the price of
telephone service has stood still.
But the cost of furnishing telephone service has
increased steadily since the war began.
The price of a few specific items, constituting
about 75 per cent of the telephone plant, increased in
the fall of 1917 over 1915 as follows:
Cross arms .
Locust pins .
Poles .
Cross-arm braces ...
Lead covered cable
Steel Strand .
Iron wire .
Copper wire .
Switchboard cable .
Switchboards .
43 per cent
107 per cent
24 per cent
.220 per cent
. 80 per cent
.104 per cent
103 per cent
.145 per cent
. 88 per cent
. 50 per cent
The cost of maintenance and operation also has
increased beyond all expectations. Increases have
been made in the salaries of our employees that were
not justified by our earnings but were considered nec
essary in order that we might deal fairly with our em
ployees and properly serve the public.
Telephone rates, up to now, have remained the
same. Your telephone service, in proportion to its
utility, is the very cheapest thing you buy.
We believe our subscribers will appreciate our
efforts to meet conditions that exist in McCrory, and
will recognize the necessity that now confronts us of
getting aditional revenue.
