CAUSE OF DEATH NECK

From Thursday's Pallj
The tragic death of William Nolt
lng shortly after noon yesterday has
been one of the most severe blows
that has befallen this community in
which the young man had been rear
ed to manhood and where his friends
are legion. The death has left the
parents and the young wife deeply
stricken by the sorrow that has dark
ened their homes and in this hour
of pain they have the deep sympathy
of the friends and neighbors who
two reel deeply tne loss oi mis uue

Examination of the body made yes
terday afternoon at the home failed
to disclose evidence of a broken neck
as had been first surmised was the
cause of his death. Instead the pres-
ence of a wound near the? left eye
leads to the belief that it was from
this wound the young man came to
his untimely end.

pafle to Observe Letter of the Law
Will Subject Parties to Re

There has been more or less in
quiry over that portion of the law
that covers the issuance of the auto
licenses and one part of the law with
which the average auto owner is not
very familiar is that section which
provides for the issuance of a license
to an auto owner in the county where
he has his residence.
The law provides that the parties

shall be purchased in their home
counties.
. If such parties are picked up it
w'ill mean the purchase of an addi-
tlonal license as well as a fine to pay.
Or leSS gTiei.
Those securing licenses in other
counties have generally been parties
residing in territory closer to one of
the neighboring county seats than
to this city, and therefore have un-
wittingly let themselves in
for a
dc"jble dose of license buying,

Carl Renner returned home this

been for several days past visiting
with relatives and friends and re
lates a rather thrilling experience
that befell him a few evenings ago
from seme of the numerous bands of
"stickup" artists that invest the me
tropolis. Carl, in company with a young
man friend, was out automobile rid
ing and when near the Locust street
viaduct, they had the misfortune to
have a puncture and which made a
stop necessary. It was dark at the
f0 rv
matin;
and Fecure some means of
a light and during his ab
sence Carl decided to jack up the
car and get ready to make the change
in tires and was stooping down at
the side of the car when another auto
drove up and stopped a short dis
tance away and as Carl raised up
he confronted a piece of artillery that
looked as large as the famous "Big
Bertha" of the Boche, and the leader
of the trio of robbers requested that
Carl do the hoisting act with his
hands. The robbers secured a gold
watch, fountain pen and some mon
ey from Carl, Jumped in their car

LET'S GET BUSY
ON TOURIST PARK
PROPOSITION
There's No Time Like the Present to
Begin Spring Soon Here and
With It, Travelers.
1
From Thursday's Dally.
One or the. matters of interest that
confronts the residents of the city
for the coming season is that of see
ing that a suitable tourist park - is
made ready for use of those who
may be passing through our city via
the auto route and desire the privi
lege of stopping here for the night.
The automobile travel is constantly
increasing and with it, comes the
large number of those who each year
enjoy an auto tour of the country, I
coinodations for their camping over
night is adequate.
The proposition 'of a tourist camp
is not altogether one of consideration
for the comfort of the travelers, but
has its selfish side as well, for the
tourists visiting a town spend more
or less money during the season and
thi3 all helps the business interests
of the community and the comforts
of a real park makes an advertise
ment for the city that is worth sever
al hundred dollars to the community.
Those of our people who have en
joyed auto tours over the country,
can testify to wbat a real up-to-date
tourist camp means to the traveler j
and thej- are thoroughly in favor of j
the proposition as will be anyone
who has looked into this phase of
modern life. Other cities far small-!
er than this have created these parks ;
and there is no reason in the world i
why Plattsmouth should not get I
busy as we have the ideal location j
in the tract of land owned.by the city (
on Washington avenue.
GREENWOOD STORE
DESTROYED BY FIRE
Damage to Property of ' Barker &
Walker Estimated at $10,000
Starts from Stove.
Greenwood, Neb., Jan. 25. The
general merchandise store of Barker
& Walker was completely destroyed
by fire at 4 o'clock Wednesday morn
ing when an overheated stove set fire
to the basement. TlTe loss of the
hnilrline- and stork of eonds was esti- I
mated at $10,000. The structure was
of brick and one story.
The entire block was threatened
and the Lincoln fire department was
summoned. The local fire depart
ment and volunteers from Waverly
and Ashland however, managed to j
save the adjoining buildings.
Two-thirds of the Greenwood sub
scribers are without phones this
morning as the result of the burning
of the cables which come from the
telephone office in front of the store
building. The store was one block
from the telephone office.
The stove which caused the dam
age was kept burning to protect per
ishable products stored in the base
ment. "You can't buy a spool of thread
in Greenwood .today," said W. E.
Hand, Greenwood resident, who came '
to Lincoln Wednesday morning. "The
fire destroyed the only general mer- j
chandise store in the town." I
According to Mr. Hand serious
damage was done to the walls of the
buildings adjoining the store. He
believes they will have to be re
placed. The store building was the '
property of N. H. Meeker, formerly a
Greenwood banker, now living in
Los Angeles. The building cost per
haps $2,500 and both the building
and stock were insured. It was built
in 1884 by Mr. Meeker, who also
founded the First National bank of,
Greenwood forty years ago.
The blaze was discovered by the
night man in a garage adjoining the
store. The damage to the seventy-
five Xoot of cable and some telephone
poles will be repaired by night. .

HOLD CORN FOR 50
CENTS OR FEED IT,
SAYS FLANNIGAN
War Finance Secretary Tells How
Farmer Can Obtain Loans on
Grain Banks Helping.
"Farmers, hold your corn for 50
cents or feed it," is the slogan of
John M. Flannigan, executive secre
tary f6r the War Finance corporation
cf Nebraska A million dollars a
week is being brought into the -state
to finance agricultural conditions
and more is available.
"There is no reason why, with the
War Finance Corporation to back
them, farmers should market their
corn or their live stock at less than
its cost of production," said Mr.
Flannigan. , "Men coming to the
stock yards here in Omaha with corn
fed cattle report that their corn sold
on the hoof is bringing from 50
cents to $1 a bushel. At present
prices of hogs and of corn there is a
good profit for the pork producer.
"At the elevators throughout Ne
braska corn is being bought in lim
ited quantities around 33 to 35 cents.
This same corn in the cattle feed lot
or put in hogs should net the farmer
from 50 cents to $1 a bushel. What
many farmers need is credit with
which to purchase live stock to feed.
That is where the War Finance cor
poration can help.
Can Borrow 80 on Corn
"Supposed farmer has 5,000 bush
els of corn in his cribs. Clearly he
should be financed to buj cattle to
fesd this corn to. This is one of the
functions of the War Finance cor
poration. In such a case the fanner
will be advanced a sum equal to 80
per cent of the local elevator price
cf the grain. Such support as this
should relieve the agricultural situa
tion, and it must come mainly
through the farmers' local banks.
The War Finance corporation is not
authorized to make any loans direct
to farmers. In some localities cat
tlo loen comninies are handling this
business.- The - Nebraska Agricul
tural Loan, association, room .,1411,
Woedmw rf the World building, in
Omaha, is receiving daily applica
tions for thousands of dollars both
from Individuals and bankers. This
loan company is authorized to deal
directly with farmers."
Mr. Flannigan, who, besides being
in the banking business at Stuart, is
a former president of the State
F.ankers' association, senses a gen
eral better feeling and a new confi
dence in the future among the finan
cial interests of Nebraska.
New Loans Can be Made
"Money should not be held back
now," is his advice. "New loans
should be made to the agricultural
industry. A great deal of good has
been done by extending old notes.
" j
but this is not the sole purpose of
te War Finance corporation. Banks
wishing to make new loans may sub
mit the tentative proposition to the
War Finance agency in Omaha be
fore they complete the transaction.
If it is approved they can make the
loan from government funds.
"In many localities the banks are
rendering wonderful assistance to

and banker must get on a common
ground and there must be better un-
derstanding and more confidence all
around. When this condition is es
tablished, then the end of depression
will be in sight.
Up to the Banked Now
"The feed lots of Nebraska should
be full of cattle. The great ranch
country iuusi o si.ucK.f -a im cu o j
and heifers. With the full use of the ;
help offered by the War Finance cor
poration, the resources of the state
can be conserved and prosperity re
gained in town and country. The
intention of letting these war finance
loans run for three years offers
plenty of time for farmers to get on
their feet.
"The solution is to fill up the
feed lots and market the corn on the
hoof, as pork and beef. Let no man
-ell his corn for less than 50 cents a
bushel. The farmer's dollar must
buy him 100 cents worth. With
corn selling at 33 cents a bushel and
hides at 5 cents a pound and with
wool at its present low level, it is
not reasonable for the prices of
things the farmers buy to be so far
out of line. There must be an equal
ity between buyer and seller. Thru
its credit, the War Finance corpora
tion is endeavoring to prevent the
depression of farm prices below the
-ost of production. It is hoped that
the great banking interests of the
state, and particularly those of the
smaller towns, will be fully alive to
the wonderful possibilities of this
great government credit agency and
do their full part to maintain the
integrity of Nebraska." ,
