FIND OLD RELICS AT

Among the relics which were
found when the Gorder Implement
building was razed, was a blade

Gibbon House, for attaching a key to
room 12. It was found by Dick Mc
Nurlin and has been among the stuff
there for a long time as the Gibbon
House, and its old time livery stable.
have long since gone the way of the
world. That was one of the princi
pal hosteleries of the former Weeping
Water. This house served its place
well during its time, but is gone with
the former Weeping Water and a new
city is now occupying its place, and
with the efforts which are being put
forward at this time, promise to be
a much bigger and better city in the
very near future. The paving, which
has just been done, has put this ex
cellent town forward in the line of
progressive cities a number of years,
and it seems it is the determination
of the progressive citizens to make
this a real live city of which the
whole world shall know. Go to it
Weeping Water, we are for you.
ANOTHER PEACE MEDAL
IS DUO OUT OF GRAVE
Red Cloud, Neb., July 15. An
other peace medal was dug out of a
grave in the Pike Pawnee village
near here on July 4, according to A.
T. Hill, who is assisting with excava
tions being carried on in the village
by the Nebraska state historical
society.
The most recent find is a heavy
silver medal about three inches in
diameter. On one side is a picture
of King George of England with the
printing, Georgius, III, Dei Gratio."
The reverse side bears the English
coat of arms. Mr. Hill believes it is
one of the medal issued about 1760
by the English monarch.
The state historical society is plan
ning to send an expedition to the
Pike Pawnee village in August to
survey the route of Lieutenant Pike
through Kansas and across Nebras-

DRIVE FOR .
NEW LEGION
BUILDING ON
ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING OF SUB
COMMITTEES LAST NIGHT
ALL CO-OPERATE.
SET GOAL AT 10,000 DOLLARS
Subscription Cards Now in Hands of
Solicitors with Definite As
signment to be Seen.
From Friday's Daily
Friday holds no superstitious ill
omen in tne opinion oi American
Legion members who are today ac
tively starting the drive for funds
with which to enable construction of
the new community auditorium on
the Vine street lots just east of the
Collins Oil company station.
A peppy, enthusiastic meeting of
the more than twenty chairmen of
soliciting committees was held last
night and the first assignment of
cards placed in the hands of the com
mittees. By Tuesday a check-up of
all the cards out will be made and
the first definite results of the drive
released for publication.
The plan that has been evolved for
raising the money is an ideal one
from many standpoints principal of
which is that it permits of install
ment payments spread out over a
period of nearly a year and will en
able them to be met without feeling
any noticeable set-back in the bank
account of the donor.
l he cards being signeu up now
require no down payment. August
15th is the settlement date, when
the pledges may either be paid off
in full, or 10 per cent of the amount
paid and a promissory note signed
for the balance, payable in ten
equal monthly installments by the
15th day of each month following
date of the note. For instance, if a
man subscribes $100 to this fund,
his first payment, due August 15,
need be but $10, and the note will
be drawn for the remaining $00.
payable $9 each month for ten
months. Notes will be made payable
at the bank selected by the contribu
tor and the banks will be empovered
by the Legion to endorse payments
on them, crediting the money to the
Legion Memorial Building fund.
All money collected will be held
intact, the incidental expense of the
campaign, the cost of the lots, work
done by the architect, etc., being
paid wholly out of Legion funds,
and not one penny of the contribu
tions will be expended until enough
is in sight to secure a loan for the
balance of the cost of the building.
Then the contract will be let and
construction work pushed rapidly to
completion. In the possible event of
failure to raise the required money,
which no one connected with the
drive anticipates, all money will be
returned.
The Legion is fathering no selfish
or ulterior motive in promoting the
campaign for this building. It has
long considered Plattsmouth in dire
need of such a building, and with
this end in view, expended freely its
own money for the purchase of the
site. Now it is asking the commun
ity for a sufficient sum to insure the
securing of a mortgage loan on tne
completed building for the remainder
of its cost, pledging its revenues in
the years to come to the wiping out
of this indebtedness. Considering the
advantage the community will derive
through having such a building, it
will really be called upon to share
only a small proportionate part of
the cost.
As has been related in the Jour
nal before, this building will be of
the same general type as that shown
n the architect's drawing. The size
will be 66x120, and the walls will be
of hollow tile consruction, with the
front stuccoed.
A marked reduction in its costs
from the early figures, without en
hancing its size and usefulness has
been brought about through the ex
cavation of only sufficient basement
to provide for the furnaces, toilets
and shower baths, the doing away
with a pressed brick front, augment
ed with marble window and door caps
(which although pretty to look at.
would add nothing to its serviceabil
ity), the roughing in only of Legion
club rooms over the lobby (leaving
their actual finishing to a later date)
and other similar curtailments. On
the excavation of a basement alone,
a very appreciable amount can be
saved. The completed building with
hot air heating plants, maple floor,
stage, and rest room on the ground
floor adjoining the lobby will not
exceed $1S,000 in cost, and will in
all probability go well under this
sum.
Aside from the nest egg of $25
contributed by the Catholic Daugh
ters last spring when plans for the
building were first discussed, no con
tribution has been received or solic
ited, Legion officials holding back
until business conditions and the
crop outlook could be determined.
Now, with favorable response from
the public, the plan will be pushed
to actual completion as rapidly as
possible and the new community cen
ter should be ready for the holding
of a jollification community Christ
mas tree there, and in no event would
its completion' be delayed beyond the
time of the Knights Templar and
district Legion conventions here next
spring.
The outlook is mo6t promising
however, from the fact that several
have come forward voluntarily with
offers of contributions of $100, and

FUTURE OF FARM ELEC
TRIFICATION PROMISING
Permanent good is sure to come of
the present co-operative investiga
tions of the use of electricity on the
farm, according to L. T. Tabor, mas
"
ter of the National Grange. Mr
bor, in a recent interview says:
T,
been supposed that electrical devel -
opment and the use of electrical en -
ergy was of little concern to the
farmer; that those in cities and V i V if Vh Vr.,o
. . ..,,.. j.,j he established himself in the drug
in this mighty and mysterious power
than those who till the soil.
"The last decade has seen a trans
formation along the lines of the use(
of electricity in farm houses
farm work. The farm elect
nlant has been most valuable. The
farmer in many sections will be vit
ally concerned in the development of
high tension lines and proper trans
missionof electrical current for rural
uses.
"It is probable that we are yet in
infancy in the use of electricity. This
is obviously true as applied to agri
culture. Any organization that di
rects ita attention toward a better
understanding of the relation of elec
tricity to rural life, will perform an
invaluable service."

never happier than when doing kind
ly things for them and with them in
their playful moods. His whole life
was beautiful and happy. His love
for his country was unabated until
the last. He attended the Decoration
day exercises in Loma Vista ceme
tery May 30th of this year. He was
taken sick that evening and was not
able to leave his bed until he passed

Mr. Orton had been a loyal member
for a great many years. He was also

During his long residence here he
was always interested in the welfare
of the community, serving at one
time as our city mayor, and .was for
a long time a member of the school

The sincere sympathy of a large
number of his old friends in thi
