J CCRATHFN UTl v C M CHUMCBEQARO jt C 37Years of Service We deliver Phoned l John L. Tidball, Jr., Will Take Over American Bed Cross in Cass County Business Here and John L. Sr. Will Enjoy Best. From Wednesday's Dally A change will occur in the Tidball Lumber Co., one of the leading busi- nss establishments of the city on tht first of October when John L. Tidball, Sr., the head of the firm will retire from active participation in the busi-j ness and the entire control of the: company be in the hands of John L. 1 Tidball, Jr., who has been associated with his father in business here and at Holdrege for the past several years. The change is made becaus.j of the fact that the advanced years of the distinguished head of the flrm-Borae eighty-two years, leads him to desire a little rest that was not possible in the harness of the lumber business. Mr. John L. Tidball, Sr., has been in( active business in Nebraska since 1869 and more than fifty years of his, business life has been in the lumber) interests and he feels that at the close of a very successful business life j he can afford to enjoy a well deserv-i ed rest. He was in the banking and (lumber interests at Crete for a num-J :ber of years and late at Holdrege from: 1 which place he came. to Plattsmouth I with the eon and family. I Mr. John L. Tidball will take over. the active management of the lumber, and coal yard here and Mr. Tidball, j Sr., be able to enjoy a relaxation be-1 cause of the fact that the change brings with it the acceptance of a position with the new organization by Emil J. Hild, who takes up his work there on the first of the month. Mr. Hild has been for the past seven years with the firm of C. E. Wescotts Sons and is a thoroughly re liable and clever young business man who wil make a splendid assistant in the lumber yard and one that will be( able to take up a large part of the work that has been heretofore shared j by the Tidballs, father and son. Mr. J Hild will have charge of office work as well as other lines of the business and at which he -will be found a real asset. The change in the Tidball firm also brought a new face into the store of the Wescott firm as the clerkship( thre that ha3 been heretofore held byi Mr. Hild will in the future be hand-, led by Rudolph Iverson. Mr. Iverson; is a graduate of the class of 1926 of, the Plattsmouth high school and one! of the best known and popular young men of the community and in his new venture In the business world should be a real success Will Be Able to Lend Aid to Sufferers.

Pollock Plattsmouth, Neb. OLD VETERAN HEBE From Wednesday's Daily Yesterday afternoon W. M. Hamp ton of Hillsbro, Montgomery county, Illinois, was here for a few hours and enjoyed the opportunity to visit sev eral of the Grand Army veterans and to renew the ties of the days of 1S61-65. Mr. Hampton is visiting at the home of his son, H. L. Hampton at Lincoln who was called here to look after some matters with the local school authorities and Mr. Hampton, Sr., took advantage of the occasion to visit this garden spot of the west.

From Wednesday's Dally The people of Cass county haye de-r monstrated their generosity and sympathy by a double donation to the Bufferers in ihe storm swept areas of the United - States in their con tribution just sent to the Midwestern branch office of the American Red Cross, according to H. V. McDonald, chairman of the Cass county chap ter. "They gave first when the contri buted their dollar membership in the American Red Cross," he said, "thus enabling that great relief organiza tion to get on the ground at onte and render temporary succor in the way of food, shelter, medical care and clothing to those made destitute by the storm. The second time was when they contributed directly to that disaster in the donation just sent to the American Red Cross. "It is only through the member ship which comes in to the treasury during the annual roll call," said Mrs. Henry A. Tool, Treasurer, "that the American Red Cross is enabled to get into action at once in case of great public calamity. The member ship dues pay for nurses, doctors, sup plies and works to hasten to the stricken area at the first report of disaster. Many times the disasters are not of sufficient magnitude to make it necessary to ask the public for donations. In these cases the Red Cross carries all of the expenses out of its fund made up of member ship dollars. "In such gigantic catastrophies as that In Florida "and the gulf coast, however, the relief and rehabilita tion work is of much to great a mag nitude to be handled by the Red Cross unaided and therefor the pub lic is asked to give. The American Red Cross already has given $100,000 from its treasury for immediate re lief work in addition to paying the expenses of conducting the work. Not. a penny of the special donation from the public goes to anything but relief in the Btricken area for which it is asked and these who have given to the Florida storm fund as well as those who have given to the re lief funds for the various Midwest ern flood disasters of the present season may be absolutely sure that all they have sent has gone direct ly to its appointed destination. "If it were not, however, for the membership dues of last fall the Red Cross could not 'have organized its relief corps andr supplies the emer gency needs of these .sufferers at once but would have to Wait for the pub lic fund to be collected. Knowing this I feel that the people of this community . will gladly enroll their names in the Tenth Annual Roll Call which i3 to take" place this fall and so enable the Red Cross to be pre pared for whatever great catastrophe takes place in the' future."

Tidd, of this city, a sister of Mrs. Hager, will leave for a visit of sev eral weeks at Pittsburgh, New York and Philadelphia. On their visit to Pittsburgh, Mr. Hager will have the opportunity of visiting with an old friend of many years ago in Platts mouth, Arthur Humphrey, now presi dent of the Westinghouse Airbreak Co.. who received his first mechanical training in the local Burlington shops many years ago while Mr. Hager was also a very young man learning his trade here. Mr. Humphrey has recent ly published a story of his life work in the American magazine and in which he tells of his first venture in the machinist trade that led to his present success. He was a lad employ ed in a drug store here in the seven ties when he attracted the attention of the late Dr. R. R. Livingston who urged him to give up the drug store work and devote his time to the fol lowing of the machinists trade which he did and with the result that he has won a great success. Mr. Hager is planning a very pleasant visit with the old friend. Problems of the Farmer are Vital to All Classes Problems of the Farmers and Mer chant Are Woven Into the Same Fabric. THE PLATTSMOUTH BOY SCOUTS WILL ENTERTAIN VERY HAPPY EVENT From Wednesday's Dally William Harvey Mason, the veteran left gardner of the local baseball team is feeling very happy the last few days and there are two reasons, one of which is the fact that he made three hits in the ball game against Greenwood, but the chief source of the happiness is the fact that a fine little daughter arrived at the Mason home Monday evening. It had been planned to name the new arrival William Harvey but. as it is a sweet little lady there will be a change in the naming of the new arrival. Mrs. Mason and the little daughter are doing nicely and the brother and sis ters of the little one are more than happy over the addition to the family circle.

Gillespie of Weeping Water we observed at the Weeping Water fair on Plattsmouth day had a ton exhibit of live pork that was a credit to this community. Out of a litter of eleven pigs, he saved ten, and brought them to a total of a little over 2000 pounds of pork by the fair date. This is some accomplishment and it shows a choice of good stock and a fine knowledge of scientific feeding. Wish Mr. Gillespie would drop in and tell us how he did it. Quick turn over in pigs before they eat all the profits up in unscientific feeding is one of the farmer's prob lems. City folk often think it Ie just 'raisin' pigs," but this sort of pig business requires experience, brains, and enrgy of the highest class. There is no such an expression as a "business man and a farmer." The farmer is as much a business man as the merchant just a different line. From this we know that the interests of the merchant and the farmer arf; interwoven until both suffer or pro fit together accordingly. Any merchant who has to hold over his goods and sell on a . losing mar ket, is in the same position of a farmer tied up with a large bunch of hogs to be fed, and corn bring ing a $1 per bushel, with hogs quot ed at four cents per pound. Or a cribbage of cheap corn, and no hog3, when hogs are at a good price. Just sit down and scratch your head over that! The farmers gamble with frost, rain, hail, and tornadoes and hot winds. The merchant gambles with poor crops and farmers curtailed in buying. Poultry and dairy products, and fruits in season offer a safer road for the farmer, we believe, as it gives him several shots at the bulls eye! A merchant who put in only Bud's shirt and trousers, is in as bad shape as the farmer who depends only on corn oats and wheat with which to hit the mark. Therefore the mer chants urge more eggs; more but ter fat; more fruits to the farmer it is not only in his self defense but in honest good feeling toward the ultimate prosperity and comfort of his best patron the farmer. So, more confidence in the good inten tions on both sides will build a great er spirit of mutual co-operation. We need the' farmer. Let's get closer to gether! W. G. DAVIS. Secretary.
