Lot 2 $23.55 Phone Material Goes Up G. R. Ewalt, local manager for the United Telephone Company has received a letter from his company in regard to increasing cost of materials used in the telephone business.

Nearly everyone knows in a general way that prices on all kinds of construction material have increased in the past two years, but seldom have these increases been figured in an accurate basis. The letter states that the Company has made a check of the material used the first six months of 1916 and compared it with prices of the same kind of materials used the first six months of 1914. Nearly every kind of material has increased in cost from 25 per cent to 165 per cent. A telephone instrument costs on an average of 225 per cent more than it did in 1914. Iron wire costs from 66 per cent to 165 per cent more than it did in 1914 and copper wire 100 per cent more.

"The Highest Bid." Elise Burleigh, a charming society bud, is the daughter of a designing mother, who plans to marry her to a wealthy husband. Oliver Strong is a stock broker who has fought his way up the ladder of success by pure grit. At her coming out party, Elise meets Strong, resulting in love at first sight on both sides. They become quickly engaged, much to Mrs. Burleigh's satisfaction.

A short time later, Strong is completely wiped out on a financial conspiracy headed by an unscrupulous fmcratnr. Addison Grev. The loss is Billy Burke in "Peggy" The first photoplay in which the Titian-haired actress, Billy Burke makes her appearance will be shown at the Dreamland Theatre on September 9th. Who has not heard of the famous The story of the play is as follows: Peggy is a whirlwind from America who bursts into a little Scotch hamlet and set everything topsy turvy. But, you see there are a lot of things in the place ffiat must be set topsy-turvy, and then set straight again.

It's the only way of setting them to rights and Peggy knows it. Her uncle is a crabbed old man, and the villagers are for the most part a forlorn not much inclined either to love or to charity. Peggy is brimming over with both. She wins the hearts of the little children, before she has been in the village a day, and gradually she brings about a great and wonderful change in their elders. Of course, there is that young chap who falls in love with her he happens to be the "Meenister" and when she has made him prove that his gospel contains Christianity as well as religion she gives herself to him.

Peggy is a picture of rare beauty and intense heart appeal, and its star is an actress of raely-equaled charm and popularity. Before she accepted Triangle's offer and made her first screen play, Billie Burke was one of the handful of stage stars who could go out Strong broken in spirit and seeking to get away from civilization for a period goes into the Sierras. There he meets old uncle Jerry, an eccentric character, who has reason to believe there is a thick vein of virgin gold in old Eagle Canyon. Becoming friendly they search for the vein together, living in a rough cabin. About this time Addison Grey becomes the matrimonial target of Mrs.

Burleigh and she soon contrives an engagement between Grey and her daughter Elise. Grey invites Mrs. Burleigh and Elise to accompany him on a trip to his hunting lodge in the Sierras, and while there Elise again meets Strong through a picturesque and romantic incident. In the meatime Strong has discovered the wonderful vein of virgin gold a fact which he withholds from Elise to test her real love for him.
