Henry Heineman, who has been
visiting for the past four weeks at

where he had an excellent visit, re

homes and found the new house meet
ing with all expectations.
The many friends of Mr. J. II. Buck

this time.
While the roads were in a measure
drifted so it was almost impossible

Mrs. Eddie Craig has been very

the grip which seemed for a while
like it would run into the pneumonia

Yes, We Did Get Stuck
Sure thatHs a fact, the tire of our
car came down as we were endeavor
ing to make our west end trip last
week and before we knew it we had
torn our valve stem out of the tire
and were in deep snow and we were
compelled to have a kindly farmer
haul our boat to his shed, where we
left it and returned to Murray. The
"following day we took the train at
Plattsmoutb, went to South Bend and
then to Murdock, it being Saturday
evening at about ten o'clock when we
left there and our friend, Gus Gake
meier took us to Elmwood to catch
the train to Union on our return
home. We assayed to remunerate
Gus for bringing us to Elmwood. but
he only laughed at us for it.
We, are surely pleased with the
loyal friendship which prompted Gus
to get out in that cold night and
take us to Elmwood. We got back
home on Sunday morning in time to
get the Murdock page lined up, but
..had to miss Manley and Alvo for this
issue. w

are considered good taste.

Flavored makeup makes a girl a

Nice thing about flavored makeup
, is when he smacks one cheek she
turns the other cheek.
From the dances we have seen
girls who should use flavored talcum
powder on their necks.
The girl who uses flavored make

PLATTSMOUTH SEMI -WEEKLY JOTTRNAL
U. S. SELLS FIVE
THOUSAND ARMY
RIFLES TO MEXICO
Five Million Bounds of Ammunition
o-nrl T.ip-bt Tie Haviland Planes I
Terms. Thirty Days.
Washington, Jan. 4. Sale of 5
thousand Enfkld rifles, 5 million
rounds of ammunition for the guns
and eight DH-4 surplus airplanes to
the Mexican government was an
nounced today by Secretary Weeks.
The transaction wras completed
during the day when word came by
wire to Mexican agents that the gov
ernment had transferred funds nec
essary to make one-half of the pay
ment in cash, the balance to be paid
within thirty days.
Under the terms of the sale, the
war department will turn over the
rifles and ammunition at Fort Sam
Houston and Fort Bliss, while the
airplanes will be delivered from the
depot at Fairfield, O. The Mexican
government will make its own ar
rangements for shipment to the bor
der. Orders were issued at once for
delivery of the military supplies to
designated Mexican agents.
Although the statement issued by
Secretary Weeks did not disclose the
total amount of money involved in
the sale, on the basis of prevailing
prices it would appear to be less than
400 thousand dollars, as Enfield rifles
sell at about 535 each and surplus
ammunition at about $18 per thou
sand rounds, while the airplanes
would be valued at about 12 thou
sand dollars each.

SENATOR HITCHCOCK
HERE JANUARY 8TH
Distinguished Nebraskan will be the
Speaker at Next "Happy Hun
dred" Dinner, Jan. 8th.
The Plattsmouth people and par
ticularly those who have secured
their tickets to the "Happy Hun
dred" supper in January, are looking
forward to a real treat at the forth
coming gathering on Tuesday even
ing. January Sth. as former Senator
Gilbert M. Hitchcock, of Nebraska,
has notified the committee in charge
that he will be with the Plattsmouth
people on that date and will accept
the invitation to address the "Happy
Hundred."
The committee has been trying to
secure Senator Hitchcock for the
past few months and feel highly
gratified that the distinguished Ne
braskan will be here on the next sup
per date to give the members of the
party the advantage of his years of
experience in the senate on the dis
cussion of the affairs of the world
today and the future. While in the
senate, Mr. Hitchcock was a member
of the foreign relations and finance
committees, two of the most import
ant in the senate and was able to
get an inside view of the workings
of the national governments of the
world and made a study of the af
fairs of the world as a part of his
duty and during the last of his term
was the floor leader of the Wilson
administration in the senate on the
handling of the peace treaty and the
League of Nations pact and has since
his retirement from office been in
Europe and is thoroughly familiar
with the workings of the present
day problems there, which will pro
vide food for a discourse that cannot
help but be very interesting to the
Plattsmouth men who are to have
the opportunity of hearing him.

BRITISH PARTY CHIEFS
SLOW TO TAKE ACTION
Baldwin Has Not Even Called Coun
cil to Consider King's Speech
Is Likely to Be Drab.
London, Jan. ' 2. None of the
principal leaders of the three politi
cal parties is showing undue haste
to anticipate the course of events
when parliament reassembles a week
hence. The present cabinet must
draft the king's speech for the re
opening of parliament, but thus far
Premier Baldwin has not even sum
moned a cabinet council to consider
the speech, which seemed to point to
the probability that the royal docu
ment may be a somewhat colorless
affair.
While it will be practically impos
sible to carry on the government
without somesort of understanding
between two of the three principal
parties, there is at present little evi
dence that the movement among fin
ancial men of London to bring about
such an understanding in order to
prevent the coming into power of a
labor government has any strong fol
lowing. That any real harm has been cre
ated in the minds of city people by
the prospect of a labor government
seems to be negatived by the fact
that there has been no strong move
ment in stocjv share prices since the
general elections, and this steadiness
is due to the realization that a labor
administration under present condi
tions would mean administration sup
ported only by a minority of the
members of parliament, and there
fore would be unable to enact any
extreme legislation.
