Which Way are You
Going?

All lines of progress lead to good and
better service.

the chairman of the cemetery
coinmiltee, Mr. C. A. Johnson, af
ter Mr. Johnson ami Mr. Wiggins
ami other members of the council
hail viewed Oak Hill cemetery. The
letter contains so many valuable
suggestions that Mr. Johnson has
kimtly consented to having the
same printed in I he Journal:
Lincoln, July 7, 1912.
C. A. Johnson, Chairman Cemetery
Committee, Plattsmouth, Neb.:
I tear Sir I have given a good
deal of thought to the conditions
confronting your people since I
was with you a week ago. The
situation and natural advantages
of voiir cemetery are far more
beautiful than ours; your im
provements, as far as they go, are
generally good; but the care, or,
rather, the want of care, given to
the lots and to the grounds gen
erally, is not creditable to the
community.
You are selling full sized ceme
tery lots for .n'O. We are selling
the same sized lots for an average
of about $250, and with no com
plaint at all in regard to our price.
Why are we able to charge ten
times the amount you charge?
It is not due to any natural ad
i flowers. The daisies in your
1 cemetery will kill every particle of
grass unless completely rooted up
j without further delay. How
I ever beautiful, daisies and dande
j lions should not be planted in
cemeteries or any other place.
Sixth. You should establish
and keep up complete records of
burials, lot owners and lot inter
ments and other books of record
and account, memorandum of
which I gave you. I am informed
that there are a number of lots in
your cemetery upon which burials
have been made, where the name
and address of the owner is un
known and canno't now be found.
I am told that there is absolute
ly no record of the names of those
buried in the potters' Held; such
conditions are most deplorable,
and whatever else may be done,
let me urge that adequate records
be installed at once.
I learn with some surprise that
vou nave no ground sei aside to
sell for single interments.
In conclusion, let me invite
your ynrninittee, and as many of
vour council as can come, to visit
our cemetery at an early day.
Our ollicers and trustees will take
pleasure in giving every assist
ance possible in your laudable ef
forts to improve the Plattsmouth
cemetery. Respectfully,
H. S. Wiggins.

me ot tne most lovely locauons i
have ever seen: it is not due to
the fact that our people are more
abundantly aide to nay. tor you
have an older and wealthier com
munitv: it is due simply to the
fact that we guarantee good can
for all time to come, and we are
giving it.
Furthermore, we are able, and

our suuecessors m omce are go

manent funds amounting to over

No part of this fund can be used,
but the interest will forever care
for the lots upon which we have
guaranteed perpetual care.
Our neonle understand that
when I hey buy a lot in the ceme

for which they are paying the

they are paying for first-class
service, now and for all time to

ion understanding that our
ceim'ery is and always has been
self-supporting. The cemetery is
owned by the people the same as
yours. There are no slockhold
ers to draw out protlts, and every
dollar paid for lots and for service
goes right back into the property.
The trustees give their time
freely and without compensation
They are elected by the people of
the city of Lincoln for six-year
terms, and are usually re-elected
without opposition as long as they
will consent to serve, thus secur
ing continuity or service, which
is greatly to be desired.
I am well aware that you are
not now in a position to fix a high
price on the lots or to guarantee
perpetual care, simply and solely
because you are not ante to give
the service. It will require some
sacrifice on the part of your good

From Tuesday's Dally.
Judge W. II. Newell returned
last night from a trip to Hamilton
county, where he went, on busi
ness. Judge Newell was a very
close observer of the crop condi
tions on the route, and says the
wheat is turning out fairly well
and corn in about the same condi
tion as in Cass county. They
need rain pretty badly and a day
or two more like yesterday would
have done serious injury to tin
growing corn, i he judge thinks,
with no serious disturbances, Ne
braska will fare about as well as
most of the states on the crop
question.

legally done, the administration
of the affairs of the cemetery
hould be placed in the hands of
Iruustees, who will be more per
manent and who will serve with
out compensation other than suchj
as comes from the realization of a
public service well done.
Second. The cemetery funds
should be segregated and kept
available for cemetery purposes
only.
Third. Funds should be pro
filed to put in a good pumping
station with large tank so locat
ed that water can be carried by
gravity pressure to any part of
the grounds through pipes laid
in the walk-ways, about eight
inches below the surface, with
hydrants at frequent intervals
This water system is important
and is not expensive.
Fourth, You should provide a
residence for your superintendent
or sexton on the grounds. His
entire time should be given to the
cemetery ami he should not be re
quired to dig or fill graves. You
should not lose the services of
Mr. Kurtz, who has learned by
years of experience that which it
would require years for another
to acquire.
Fifth. Your superintendent
alone should have authority to
plant or remove trees, shrubs and

Many people in a misguided ef

rely on plasters, liniments and

treatment is kidney treatment and
a remarkably recommended kid

The proof is at your very door.
The following is an experience
typical of the work of Doan's
Kidney Pills in Plattsmouth.

Plattsmouth, Neb., says: "As the
result or a bad cold, 1 had a se

At times the pain extended from
my back and hips into my should

was laid up for two weeks. My
head ached for hours at a time.
I bad dizzy spells, during which
in y sight became blurred. Doan's
Kidney Pills checked these
troubles and after using two
boxes, I regained my health. I
