San

There won't be much of that old
"Rockbound coast of Maine to the
sunkissed shores of California" In
the San Francisco drive at Cleveland.
Practical arguments are the order of
the day. Frisco is the greatest con

crats admit. Its climate is clear and
cool, its I'acific breezes balmy, its
civic center magnificent, its audi

little fund to bring the Legion con-

RETURNS FROM TRIP
From Wednesdays Daily. ,
Yesterday afternoon Attorney t).
O. Dwyer returned from a business
trip of several days' duration . to
Cedar Rapids and Blairstown, Iowa,
where he was called last week. Dur
ing his absence, Mr. Dwyer also
spent a few days in the Minnesota
lake region, thoroughly enjoying the
cool climate. He says residents there
report the seacon as having been
very backward and even now (some
of the evenings on the lakes are so
cool that a top coat 13 not uncom
fortable, which is certainly a change
from the torrid atmosphere that has
prevailed here.
Mr. Dwyer was much Impressed
with the city of Cedar Rapid3. which
possesses one of the largestr-platts of
the Quaker Oats company aid which
is being enlarged to double its lorm
er capacity. -
SCHOOL OPERATION
COSTSURGE SUM
But Results Obtained are Sufficient
ly Adequate to Justify Many
Times the Expense.
There are very few who fully rea
lize the expense Involved in con
ducting a school system of the size
of ours, even where every effort is
made looking toward .economy.
Last season the cost was over I
$40,000 merely for the operating
cost to say nothing of other expenses
which the taxpayers of the .district
are called upon to bear.
The expenditures of operation for
the Plattsmouth district as shown by
the records inthe hands of the sec
retary were as follows:
Salaries, female teachers, $26,-
14S.41; salaries, male teachers, $3,-
319.79; repairs, $483.40; fuel, $2.-
367.13; insurance, $602.39; books
and supplies, $3,911.91; janitor, $2,-
806.62. .
These figures give one an adequate
conception of the work of the school
system that is charged with the edu
cation of the young folks and the
cost of operation is constantly mount
ing due to the .the increasing costs
of all articles used in the, schools as
well as the necessity of paying a
living wage to the teachers employ-i
ed in school work and who are at
that paid much less than other pro
fessions and trades requiring much
leg's effort to master.

minds of some farmers who have
used the large tractors that the

are anxious that all farmers who can
will make it a point to be on hand
at the Chas. Warner farm next Mon

the Fordson tractor and Woods Bros,
separator will do a perfect ' job of
threshing.
