Good Corn on Salvaged Land Eight Irmdred bushels of corn worth $4Sn was the return in one year after a job of stump blowing on 10 acres of waste land on the farm of Jv.ian Wiles, of Weeping Water. He ti?ed pyrotol. a left over war-time ex plosive, which he got through his eounty o::tc:n-ion agent. The 400 pounds of explosive cost him $36 and the fuse, caps and labor about ?100 more. He figured the profit from the ..orn the first year more than paid the bill, and his land is worth three times what it was with the brush and stumps on it. A profes sional dynamite man did the work for him because some of the stumps were close to the farm buildings. Not a window pane was broken nor were any shingles or boards torn off the buildings.

Farewell to City is Given by Secretary Davis i Last Article from the Pen of Secre tary cf the Chamber of Com I merce Given to the Public There was a remark once made that it must take a great deal of time to write these articles. When ten minutes to the article is the aver age time, it is not much. This little column has been known under a good many names. Some have asked where my daily "Moan" was? Others, the "Hot Air" column; one, the "funny page." Some have consid ered it wasted time others ask for it when it fails to appear some com mendation, some criticism, some ap preciation, some pepper sauce! So as ou knxv, it is impossiDie to piease everyone.

It has been written in a spirit of affection and gocd will, and hope for us all. j If it has offended, it has been un i intentional and regretted. If it has helped along a good cause, that is all that is necessary. So, this last column today is merely to say farewell, to j Plattsmouth. our neighboring cities, ; and adjoining country.

Other cities and communities are pulling themselves out of the mire thru their chambers of commerce; other places demonstrate the import ance and necessity of a live chamber of commerce. So can this community if it wishes to do so hard enough to make the little sacrifices that such civic work always entails. There is nothing that attracts more favor able attention to a city, than to know "u" " l"tt V41-' Ti . m inn i i t w i r r -i it ti 'it ij ifj i spirit of pride ana loyalty; a ueep , pia(.cnient cha,e on anv c hina, glass sense of unselfish friendly co-opera-jware silverware and cooking men tion between the various mercantile ,,e that may ,JO 1)roken or destruve,(1 interests merem; a puii-togetner sup port; of home merchants and home in terest; a burial cf all petty grievances in one great effort to promote the de velopment of the city and commun ity.

Plattsmouth has made a decided advance for the better the past few months.

There has been some new businesses come here, and noneMiss has been lost; some old stores are' noon again occupied; new window fronts put in, and a steady advance all along the line. We expect greater things right along and feel 1927-28 will i be a big turning point for the better for us all. I hope I may hear from my friend3 here, as I shall rejoice in the success of this city and community. I wish for my successor a big measure of splendid support and co-operation, and his success. My temporary ad dress, will be Medina, Ohio, care of. my brother t. C. Davis, where after a short rest and vacation shall again take up this work. So farewell, and best wishes, and especially do we speak our apprecia tion of the great support of the Plattsmouth Journal in the space they have so generously contributed to the boosting of the chamber of commerce, and the entire community.

From Monday's DniVy One of the greatest advantages o the new community building will be its availability for banquets, larjie and small. The American Legion Auxiliary committee is placing an order for complete service for two hundred persons, including a high grade of chinaware. into which will be burned the Auxiliary emblem in colors, silverware and glassware. The kitchen will also be equipped with a modern gas stove of size sufficient to take care of meal preparations for a like number. Folding leg tables that can be stored in small space, will be built for use in the assembly room when needed for banquets and folde up and placed out of the way when the room is used for dancing am; other entertainment. i A large serving counter with work table and sliding door cabinet space i beneath will enable the serving o , large numbers in a minimum of time and with the least possible effort. !

With the roof framing well com pleted, it is interesting to note that i there is a marked drop in tempe ra ture inside the structure from that outdoors these hot days, showing that the sub-basement rooms being completed for use until the future second story, stage and balconv can be added, will not be unduly hot, even in the most torrid weather. l he building committee has secur- the sanitary sewer at the corner of sixth and Vine streets.
