Ed. Branlner, Prop. The editor was called to Platts mouth last Tuesday io assist in the formation of the Cass County Edi torial association. We were treated royally. The entire editorial frater nity were taken by the officers of the Commercial club throughthe prin cipal industries of that progressive city, including the massive car shops that employ 450 men and spend S22,000a month in the city; the M. K. mith Dry Goods Co's shirt and over all factory where fifty girls and women are busy at sewing machines driven by electrical power in the manufac ture of these staple articles of men's wear. The factory has lately been started and is running short handed. Tl ey have 150 machines idle for the want of help. We also visited the Ma sonic Home lor indigent blaster Ma sons and their dependents. Through the erection of needed additions to the home has now become one of the recognized charitable im-titulions of the state of superior merit. It is very tidy spacious and homelike. The in mates are tenderly eared for, most of them being ( ry advanced in years and many of them feeble. The work be gun by the Masons is now being fol lowed by other socicteis, until before ong every fraternal or secret society will nave a recognized nome tor its old ind decrepid afliliatcs. In the even- nig t lie commercial ciuh tendered a baii(iiet to the editors and over one hundred covers were laid.

Tidd re turned yesterday from the state commercial club convention at Co lumbus and were more t han delighted with Plaitsmouth's standing among ihe clubs. There seems to be but one town in the state who s eluh has done more live hustling than the Platts mouth club and there were but few of the organizations who had accom plished as many good results in the last year as the home boosters. Mr. Tidd was unable to remain for the ban quet given by the Columbus commer cial club, but Mr. Patterson reports that the affair did not excell the recent function of the local club. Some of the best speakers obtainable were present ut the meetings and many clear cut ideas were brought out by the visitors. AN OPEN LETTER OUR LINE OF SHIRTS. is well wortli an inspection.

As the time is now short for a consideration of the matter, I hand you herewith the same article that it may be 'given as wide- It is as fol- otwl ill Imvn aii an In n niro lino i( Tn flin Kvi'liinir Journiil : fli.ura nnrnriu nnrl fnnpv worV. ff I Fur t lip Dust three PVeniiiiru Vnn lin vi . j i - i devoted considerable valuable space in the most prominent part of your paper endeavoring to convince the people of this city to add another batch of bonds to our already extensive bonded indebtedness. There never existed a single reason for calling the special election or voting bonds. You state that the new post ofhee build ing depends upon the voting of the bonds. If that were true it would be certainly worthy of consideration. How far that assertion misses the real fact's the people ought to know and consi(r before increasing our already burdensome indebtedness. The facts are that there is now or was on the evning the Coun cil ordered the special election, $2200 of road funds collected from this city in the county road fund under the direct control of Commissioner Fried rich and out of which he has tendered the city $1400.00 to help pay for pav ing th' intersections of the proposed paving diMriet. ihe entire cost to the city for its part of the pavement, s .:520().0(), hence, there would be left S1S00.00 to be provided for. Is there any reason why at least !?1()00 of that sum could not be taken from the $3,000.00 which the city has just rcciivcd from the six saloon licenses. It would leave S2.000.00 of that fund and the whole of the annual appropria tion for the road fund in the sum of $2,M)0.00 to be used upon other streets of the city. The balance for t lie pave ment of $S00.00 which is but a little over a one mill levy, could bo raised by borrowing the same, and at least one half of the sum would be collected in before ihe first of next December when the personal taxes become de linquent and are supposed to be col lected. That the City has the authority, without a penny of expense, to so bor row money is provided by the statute Sec. S50:5 Cobby Statute for year l!)(i!) However it would ifot even lie neces sary to borrow that small sum as a portion of the expenses of the pave ment would not be payable until the job is completed and it is only fair to estimate that the pavement will not be completed until next fall by which time taxes on percsonal property will be coming in. The reason for the special election and the bonds, having failed, then the question naturally arises, Why should the people of this city vote bonds? It is well known to our people that we have been seriously handicapped for the past ten or fifteen years on account of our large bonded indebtedness in proportion to our assessed valuation The annual interest now on outstand ing bonds, is over $0,000.00. Of the 8 IS 1,000.00 bonds now against ihe City, two are payable each year up to 1919 when they all become duo. The combined effort of the people should be made to create a fund by which a certain portion of these bonds could be paid off when they become due and thereby enable the city to obtain, an extension an the balance, at a lower rate of interest. There is nothing under construction or contemplated this year as far as I know that will increase the assess ment valuation, hence an increase in the indebtedness of the city, is wrong in principle and ulimately damaging to the city. Otlr overly high taxes practically bars people who may have money even in small amounts to loan, from making their homes here. This city, being the coun ty seat, ought to be the place of resi dence for the people throughout the county, who are retiring to live on the income of their few thousands of sav ings. In my judgment the people of this city would serve their, interests and the future of the city best by em phatically condemning by their votes this expensive and unnecessary pro ceeding on next Tuesday to increase our bonded indebtedness. Very truly yours. ; I). O. Dwyer. WOMEN AT A PAJAIl Aristocratic Chicago Suburw Over Recent Feminine Func tion Given There. "Have you heard about It?" That'B the prevailing greeting In Kenwood now and the answer to the natural request for more Information la: "Sh , don't say a word the paja ma party." The aforesaid pajaraa party took place Thursday afternoon at a Prairie avenue mansion. The nine matrons present were enjoined to the strictest secrecy, but the secret traveled so fast from friend to friend that it reached the ears of a reporter. "Such lovely colors the pajamas were dreams and we all did look Just perfect," la the way It passed from ear to ear. "It's such a comfortable manner In which to enjoy a social afternoon." said one of the women present, "and I believe they will be come popular In Chicago." The guests at the party brought their various hued pajamas with them, but not in suit cases or handbags. They wore them, concealed only by automobile cloaks or long coats. "What If the autohad skidded on the way and spilled you out Into the street?" was suggested to one of the matrons. "Heavens! I neverthought of that," she gasped "I would have died of embarrassment." None of "those present" would vol unteer a detailed description of the silk slumber costumes or disclose the topics of discussion at the party. Chicago Record-Herald. 0 Paint Economy One of the best paint authorities in the world says that true paint economy is "the sum total of the cost of the material and its appli cation divided by the number of times you have to repaint in a given term of years." The Sherwin-Williams Paint . MADE TO PAINT BUILDING WITH gives that sort of economy, al ways. You will also find that the cost of material and application figures out bst with S.W. P. Going to paint?

I wouldn't waste nn evening on a game of nice, talkative neighborhood whist unless some beautiful woman, clad in cheerfulness as a garment, trumped her partner's ace and then, noting his blank gaze, remarked: "Oh, what have I done? 1 didn't mean to do that. That was a mis take." A Kansas City woman engnged In a game of whist and her partner was her husband's friend, says a writer in the Minneapolis Journal. He threw an ace and she fumped it and he cursed. And her hi'sband sat right there and heard It and didn't resent It! The lady promptly sued for a divorce and It was granted her. It Is not lo complain of the hus band that I write, but to express as tonishment at the lack of self-control of the husband's friend when that really most Jubilant of events took place, namely, the trumping of the ace by somebody's wife. Taking condi tions as they were, ought not the trumping of his ace to have brought the husband's friend to light and cheerful laughter, not sarcastic, but Just good natured and bubbling like? The event made no great difference In the world's history, or would have made none, had It been properly re ceived. And It may be laid down as a rule of the game never to "rear up" and holler "Fire!" when the lady wh trumps aces performs her normal functions In neighborhood whist. F. G. FRICKE & CO.

"Here are two wedding rings that I have Just made over," snld the city Jeweler. "They are for Hohemlan women. They lost their own rings, so they had their husbands' ring cut down to fit. That Is a custom In their country. TJoth husband and wife wear a wedding ring there. If the man loses tils ring he has to buy a new one, but if the woman loses hers she wears her husband's. I do a good deal of that kind of work. Other women who lose wedding rings Just buy another one and say nothing about it, but these women are too conscientious for thnt. Usually I have to make the man's ring smaller, but once In a while it has to be spliced to make It fit. The women are al ways considerably chagrined over the splicing and offer all kinds of ex planations to account for their big fingers."
