VliuiliiiUlliiiiiltliillil.Hillimiiu CERTIFICATES OFVETS HERE Number of World War Veterans Who Have Made Application for Compensation Get Bonus From Saturday's Daily A large number of the Plattsmouth world war veterans who have sent in their applications for the adjusted service certificates or the "bonus" as it is generally termed, were greeted this morning by receiving from Washington their official certificates that guarantee The payment to them in person on January 1. 1945, the full amount of the certificate or in the event of their death the payment at once to the beneficiary that they have designated the full amount of the claim. The certificates have a loan value after a certain period of ywra. but for the amounts that can be secured the veterans are urge ! to hold on to their certificates and realize on the face value of them rather than take the chance of having to make a sac rifice on them. The government very wisely has provided that the certificates are to be non-transferrable and that they will be paid only to the veteran or his beneficiary. In case of loans where the value of the amount borrowed is not paid, the officers of the Veterans' bureau are to pay the amount outstanding against the certificate and have the same returned to Washington by the party holding it as security, where the certificate is held by the govern ment until the veteran pays the amount due or at maturity is paid less the amount of the loan that had been paid by the government. While many have urged a cash compensation, these certificates as sure to the veteran and particularly those of long service a very neat sum in the years when they may need it the worst. Does It Pay? Whoever thought of Robinson Crusoe as a successful advertiser? Yet he was, as history proves. Now Robinson knew that he wanted a ship, and he put up an ad for one. He hung up a shirt on a pole at the top of his island, and that in the language of the sea, was plain to every seafar ing man. The circulation was small (there was no other medium) but Crusoe kept at it persistently, despite the fact that one garment after another frayed out, and in the end he got what he wanted. But had he taken down the signal af ter a time and declared "advertising doesn't pay," where would Robinson Crusoe and his history be to-day? DISPUTE OVER A PLEDGE Attorneys for the Nebraska Wes leyan university have filed with the supreme court briefs in support of their judgement in the Lancaster district court for $5,000 against the estate of Homer Griswold. During one of its endowment campaign Mr. Griswold signed an agreement to give $5,000 for the cause of Christain education payable at his death. His heirs are congesting the payment on the ground of insufficient consideration. The consideration, as stated in the pledge was that others should join, and the university at torneys take the position that such pledges constitue a request that the institution carry on the purposes for which it was created. The fact that this pledge, with others, was not payable until death, would assist, they say, in getting necessary contributions for the run ning expenses from others. Mr. Griswold's pledge was 'on the basis that it should go entirely Into the endowment fund and that no part I of the principal could be used for 1 current expenses. This enters into the lawsuit as well as the conten tion that the pledge was not testa mentary In character. The univer sity attorneys insist that the question of sufficiency of consideration is to be determined not at the time the pledge was made, which was while the endowment campaign was on but when it is enforced. !

PLATTSMOUTH AD CLUB HOLDS ELEC TION YESTERDAY Heads of the Business Men's Organi zation Are Named at Meeting Yesterday Afternoon. From Saturday's Daily The Plattsmouth Business Men's Ad club at their session yesterday afternoon selected the officers for the year at the regular luncheon and meeting: held at the parlors of the Methodist church, and despite the;not be Iong before he can dispense fact that the men who have headed the organization the past year were desirious of laying aside the bur dens of their duties and favored passing the offices around, they were prevailed upon to once more aid in the conduot of the affairs of the club and to promote the best interests of the business life of the city and the general welfare of the community, in which they are co-operating with the Chamber of Commerce. The officers re-elected were as fol lows: President C. C. Wescott. Vice President H. P. Goos. Secretary Roy V. Knorr. Treasurer Frank M. Bestor. Executive Committee E. A. Wurl, George Petring and John L. Tidball, Jr. The club also voted to select W. G. Kieck as the attorney for the club in matters that might require legal action and to take up the duties that have heretofore been looked after by Attorney A. H. Duxbury, who in his new position of county judge will j be unable to handle the affairs fori the club. Of interest to the members of the club particularly was the decision to increase the fines of the club from 50c to 75c for non-attendance at the meetings in the future and which it is hoped will result in 100 per cent attendance except in the case of sick ness or vital reasons for not being present. The club has Jn its existence built up a very strong organization of the business men and particularly feat ured the monthly bargain days that have bieen in force for the past three years and have become an establish ed institution in the city and one that the residents of the community look forward to with the greatest of interest every month. These sales are held on the third Wednesday of each month and the next one will fall on the date of January 21st.

It took the guest of honor some time to get back her poise after the real surprise ana to enter into me spirit of the occasion. The time was spent in cards and contests and the enpoyment of the radio for some little time and the guests had many cities over the country at their command during the course of the evening.

E. hospital last week in time to be at home for Christmas, which he enjoyed very much with his family and friends. Mr. Ahl had the misforture to break his right leg just below the hip, a few months ago, when he was driving in from the farm. His horse hicked him when he was trying to adjust some part of the harness, along the road. His in juries seemed serious at the time, but his cheerful spirits and optimistic outlook certainly helped him through this very trying time and he is get- ting along verv nicelv. He can walk with crutches and we trust it will with those aids. Louisville Courier. FORMER MURRAY LADY IS VERY ILL ATJENVER, COL.

From Saturday's Daily Plattsmouth High school's old last night for Joe Krejci at the local gym.

The game netted ? 40 which will be given to Joe Kreici. star football and basketball ; player of the local school who was ; injured in the football game with Nebraska City last Thanksgiving, ,and, added to the $50 already col- j lected from the student body of the ! I school and given to Joe, will make a very tidy sum for the crippled youth. Manager Martin of the Alumni had two complete teams ready for action at the time of the starting whistle and alternated them every other quarter, which provided fresh play ers for the old timers every ten min utes and contributed somewhat to the defeat of the High school, but it gave them one of the best workouts the- could have. The first team sent in against Coach Rothert's pupils proved the most effective and with the exception of Harold Mullis was the same team that represented the High school in 1922.
