Maher and Frank A. Harrison of Iincoln. Hugh Myers and E. L. Bradley of this city were among the visitors to the con ference room. Mr. Hitchcock re turned to Chicago last night at 7:30. "The state campaign committee will comprise one member from each of the congressional districts and one at large." Mr. Hitchcock ex plained. "It has been decided to have one woman on this committee. The state organization, which will begin to function soon, will estab lish campaign committees in the con gressional districts and will promote Johnson clubs throughout the state."' Petitions Are Ready Mr. Hitchcock stated that John son organization.-; have been estab lished in the various primary states.

Johnson to Speak Here Senator Johnson will speak in Ne braska during the last few weeks of the primary campaign, following his tour of the Dakotas, according to Mr. Hitchcock. "With President Coolidge contest ing the primary states." Mr. Hitch cok added, "it seems to me there will be a clean-cut campaign, and it is my opinion that the showing which Mr. Johnson wil make at these various state primaries will make the republican leaders take serious ac count of him at the national convention."

The first was last week when their son, Hugh, thir teen years old, broke his left leg be low the knee while coasting down the north slope of the school house hill. He has suffered greatly and will be laid up for several weeks which is a great disappointment to him as he is interested in his school work and is sorry to miss the time from his studies. He is in the sev enth grade. The second accident was even more distressing, as their little three-year-old daughter Irene upset a pan of. boiling hot jello upon herself on last Monday forenoon, receiving very bad burns from the top of her head all the way down her body. She suffer ed intensely and the catastrophe was a great shock to her frantic mother and father as well as to all of the friends and neighbors. It is not thot that there will be any scare remain ing, which is one thing to be thank ful for, but it surely is a sad thing to think of the suffering the little girl endured. She is doing as well as could be expected and the entire community will hope that both of these children will soon recover from their injuries. Louisville Courier.

Are you going to take advantage of this saving? From Saturday's Daily The ' greenhouse on West Locust street, which has been owned for the past few years by Ernest Stenner, has been secured by Henry Jasper, the local florist, who is having the building remodeled and made ready for the use of his business in the fu ture. Mr. Jasper is an experienced florist and has In a small way at his home been handling the growing of potted plants and also the filling of orders for cut flowers and. now feels that the business of the community is worthy of starting a larger line which he will be able to maintain in the greenhouse here. With a green qnouse in operation here it will be possible to deliver orders much more quickly and on short notice and the owner of the plant Is hopeful that the patronage of the community will in the future justify his action in giving Plattsmouth a greenhouse of its own instead of having to depend as it has in the past few years on outsire agencies and which has handicapped the local dealers very much.
