some, twenty-seven of them were out
west of town with the ducks want
to congregate on last Thursday morn
ing as the darkness was melting into

the lumber yard here, moving to this

Greenwood, Nebraska
Central Parent-Teachers associa
tion held a very pleasant and pro
mising meeting last evening at the
high school building. The business
meeting showed that things are well
organized and those in places of re
sponsibility have been early at work
and are anxious to have this a year
of progress. General singing is be
ing led by Mrs. Leosis with Mrs
Goos as pianist but in her absence
last evening Mxs. Knorr took her
place.
During the business session so ably
handled by the president, Mrs. Dovey.
Miss Fields gave a report of the
supervised playgrounds of the sum
mer and announced that at some fu
ture time we would see ourselves in
action thru movies taken by Miss
Kaufmann. The program for the year
was announced by Mrs. Frank Bar
kus, vice president and chairman of
this department and there will be
copies for all members as soon ar
printed. Delegated for the state con
vention to be held in Lincoln Oct.
13, 14 and 15, were elected, they
being Mesdames Douglas, Knorr, Au
gust Cloitlt, and Peterson with Mes
dames Patterson, Hayes, Thomas,
and Frank Cloidt as alternates. The
subject of a central building library
was presented again as last year its
beginning is realized thru a gift of a
set of books from Mrs. Tidd. A com
mittee was appointed to plan place
and arrangement for this.
Plan for rewards for largest per
cent of attendance by parents at the
meetings was announced to be a ban
ner to be presented each moth with
a cash gift to be saved until the
close of the year and used as desired
at that time.
Roll call gain highest per cent ot"
attendance 41 per cent, to one of
the sixth grades under Mrs. Carlson
who holds the banner until next
meeting. Opportunity was then given
to pay dues and at the close sixty
five members were reported.
The program was announced by
Mrs. Barkus and a review of last
year's work given by Mrs. Hayes,
speaking of the meetings, attendance,
study course, special programs, pre
school child habit conference, reso
lution, closing picnic and the sum
mer playground.
The Rainy Day chest given by Miss
Marten proved to be a real thing de
sired by the teachers for pupils of
the Central building to contain
games and educational toys to be
used during dinner hour and on oth
er needy occasions.
Superintendent Bailey was intro
duced and gave an informal talk on
what way such associations might
help in realizing better results from
our schools. He spoke of our course
of study and if that v.ere all we were
doing would be worth the effort. He
was especially interested in the health
work for children and emphasized
the fact without parent co-operation
in this, little result can be realized.
This is also a new age for the child
in which the parent must take him
as a trust and not merely a posses
sion, perhaps an asset. All were glad
to know Mr. Bailey in tthis way and
appreciated his interest very much.
In the inability of Edgard Wtscott to
be on the program, this part was
filled by. Mrs. Moye in a piano solo
The meeting closed with a social
half hour and delightful refresh
ments were served by mothers of the
first grade. Let us all respond as
well as each meeting.
MAKE ESTIMATE OF LOOT
Kearney, Neb., Sept. 23. Approx
imately $13,500 of which $12,000
was in stamps, was stolen by rob
bers who drilled into the postofiice
safe here last night, postal inspec
tors announced tonight. The robbers,
using an acytelene torch, cut thru
four steel doors of the safe. When
posal inspectors opened the strong
box they found only a ten cent piece.
Everything of monetary value had
been taken.
Two men who are suspected in
connection with the robbery were
said to have been seen shortly be
fore midnight last night, hanging
around the postofiice building and
hiding behind enarby shrubbery.
At 1. a.m., a man living near re
ported that he noticed flashes of
light in the postofiice window, but
thought it was merely reflections
from an electric sign.
Besides the knowledge that an
acytelene torch was used, the inves
tigations have failed to offer clues.
The postal inspectors and State Sher
iff Condit believe that the finger
prints and some other marks;-may
possibly furnish clues which would
aid in the apprehension of the robbers.

Good Music
Over Radio is
Promised
Producing Concerns Declare it Possi
ble Despite Declaration or
Edison.
Chicago, Sept. 24. Thomas A. Ed
ison's impression that the radio is a
failure as a medium for reproducing
music seems more distorted to leaders
of the infant industry than any
strains the inventor can pick out of
the air. The statement from the crea
tor of the Dhonoeranh that "music
on the radio is very poor because it
is badly distorted." and relegating the
loud speaker to "reports of ball
games, boxing matches and speeches
where distortion is not noticeable,
arouse vigorous protest among them
"The larsrpst manufacturers of
phonographs in the United States to
day are using the radio principle f
transformers and radio tubes to prop
erlv reDroduce their music." it was
pointed out by E. P. McDonald, Jr.,
president of a radio corporation.
Predicting a $500,000,000 radio
business this year, he found Mr. Edi
son "resembling King Canute of old"
who bing annoyed by the sounds of
the waves, proceeded to the shore and
raised his hands, commanding them
to stop.
The view was echoed in a telegram
to the Edison headquarters in New
Jersey from Frank Reichmann, vice
president of the Broadcast Listener's
association.

Woman's Club
is One of City's
Greatest Assets
Ladies Fart in the Conmmunity Life
Is Stressed by the Chamber
of Commerce.
From Friday's Daily
It would be exceedingly painful
to me to have anyone feel I am
merely "lecturing" that is not my
idea. But, there are so many good
things on every side in Plattsmouth
that we have grown to accept as a
matter of course as we do three meals
a day, or wash day, or house clean
ing in the spring failing to see the
vital imporance of the every day
things.
For instance we have a "Woman's
Club." Yes, we have a Woman's
Club is that as far as it goes? Do
we stop to realize that a live women's
organization, with the backing of all
the women of this city is one of
Plattsmouth's greatest assets?
Here we find a group of a few
earnest women striving for the asso
ciation for a closer more harmonious
spirit of co-operation between the
schools and the mothers for the good
of the children, and the good of the
children means ultimately the good
of what? Of Plattsmouth! There
is a great field of work for these
women, not forgetting the import
ance and necessity of their social
activities; in keeping up our public
parks; in clean streets; in public
fountains; development of the public
schools; in these no organization is
so well equipped to lay its finger on
the right spot and bring pressure to
get results.
There is a crying need here for a
good auditorium and for a swim
ming pool, which could be embodied
into one proposition, or into one
building, or separately, and the unit
ed front of the women's organization
can bring these two propositions to
a successful issue.
If proper avenues of wholesome
recreation, such as a swimming pool
would be; and a proper means of a
large public meeting place for our
open civic meetings as an auditorium
would justify; the morals and pro
gress or tnis city win ue given a
great impetus. The summer play
ground for children could be incor
porated along with the swimming
pool proposition this gives directed
play, and prevents petty mischief by
unoccupied children. Children are
all good evil is a misdirected en
ergy due often to civic shortsighted
ness in not furnishing proper outlets.
The Chamber of Commerce stands
back of our women. We need their
support, and their invincible energy
and intuition for doing the right
thing and visioning the large funda
mental essentials of life.
The woman is the "buyer" of the
home from soap to bedding; clothes
to furniture; groceries to automo
biles. By a encentrated union and
home" merchants, and especially , S
those merchants who are striving i rJ
with money and thought to make ajt"
better and bigger Plattsmouth, j I
there can be developed here a covic
cride. and spirit of loyalty and co
operation that will eliminate outside
competition, built gloriously lor tne

NO AUCTIONING OF SEATS
Washington, Sept. 24. Senator
Overman of North Carolina, ranking
democrat of the senate judiciary com
mittee, said today that altho both
Frank L. Smith, of Illinois and Wil
liam S. Vare of Pennsylvania, repub
lican nominees probably would be
permitted to serve in the senate if
they are elected, they would have
to b seated and then ousted.
Under all precedence the senate
will have to seat them if soverign
states send them here as their quail
ed representatives, he asserted. "Af
ter they are seated, the move tnen
would be to declare their seat vacant
and give them a hearing on charges
of excessive xpenditures in their
campaign. The American people will
never stand for auctioning off sen
ate seats and if the newspaper ac
counts are true, that is what hap
pened in Smith and Vare's primary.
