MANY WANDERERS HERE
ATTEND RECEPTION
From Monday's Dally
Mr. and Mrs. John Rumrael ' and
;Mr. and Mrs. G. H. Black motored to
j Hamburg, Iowa, yesterday to attend
ja reception which was given for Mr.
I and Mrs. L. G. Anderson at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. L. C. Comstock, they
being old time friendg of the. Black
family, at which time there were
;some forty of th old friends and
neighbors present.
From Wednesday's Dally
The cool nights that have descend-
oii rin this nnrt of the west nat
brought to the police a renewed de
luge of thg wanderers who are travel
ing over the country and who have
been compelled by the unusually chil
ly spring weather to "dig in" during
the night and find the police station
a place of comfort from the frosty
out of doors. The police were called
out to the northwest part of the city
by the report that some prowler was
active in that section and arriving
there found that one of the knights
of the road had made up his mind to
seek repose in a barn at one of the
places and his presence becoming
known had caused a panic among the
ladies of that section of the city that
they will long remember and led tc
the call for the gendarmerie of the
city to suppress the prowler. The po
lice hauled the 'gentleman down tc
the city lock up where he was confined
for the night and then sent on his
way to seek other greener fields.
This morning there were a large
number on the main streets who were
busy nailing the residents of the
husines section for food and assistance.

THE BASIS OF ROAD STRENGTH

an address before Fifth Annual As

Partial solving of the problem 13
in sight, however. The vacant lots
near Sixth and Pearl streets owned
by II. M. Soennichsen, were filled in
last fall with dirt from tne commun
ity building basement, and as soon as
the ground can be leveled and put m
shane. will be thrown open to the
public free for use as a parking space.
The work of leveling could well be
done by the city, in return for gain
ing so much added space close to the
business section, and it nas even Deen
suggested that an electric light be
installed there and during busy Sat
urday nights, one of the regular po
licemen detailed to keep a watchful
eye and prevent loss of property and
equipment from cars parked there.
In order to provide easy ingress and
egress from the lot and relieve traffic
from having to go thru the alley, a
sloping driveway just back of the
Klinger produce station would take
care of the needs nicely and require
only a few hours work to construct,
as the street level there is only a few
feet above that of the filled-in lots.
The offer of Mr. Soennichsen to
turn the ground over for free use is
most commendable and if accepted
square incu on
much less. probably somewhere
about one-fourth as much. Twelve
inches of gravel costs only $4,000
per mile, or about the equivalent of
one inch of concrete. If the old roads
had been built 12 inches or more in
thickness, nearly all of them would
have been in use today."
The big point to Mr. Emmons

ing up of a good thickness of founda

A Journal reader has remarked on
the large number of Iowa cars and
Omaha cars that were parked on our
streets Sunday. It is only an indica
tion of what good roads leading into
a town will do for it, and the fellow
who is constantly bemoaning the fact
that good roads will enable our citi
zens to drive to Omaha and shop with
greater ease than before, has his
spectacles adjusted wrong and can't
see but one small angle of the case.
Iowa cars will come here in great
numbers, if we provide them a bridge
to drive over. As it is many of them
ride the ferry and come to see us on
nice days like Sunday. Incidently,
they all spend something in the town.
The fellow whose store doesn't hap
pen to be open on Sunday when the
spending visitors) are here, is not los
er, because indirectly he will share in
the prosperity they bring. It is an
age-old law that when the ice cream
man's business is good (or the cigar
store or any of a dozen other lines
we could name), he is a good spend
er himself, and the grocer, clothier,
shoe dealer, butcher and what not
share with him the profits.
Good roads won't hurt Plattsmouth
any more than a paved highway has
hurt Fremont and we can well re
call the howl that went up when that
project was under way, that all Fre
mont would desert its home mer
chants and spin into Omaha over the
paved highway to do its trading.
Such fallacy has been proved and
even with a Sunday blue law operat
ive on all amusements, Fremont Is a
mecca for Sunday pleasure seekers
from Omaha. With good roads, we
can attract a lot of these people
