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.
Have Improved Herds
Members of cow testing associa
tions in Nebraska have improved
their herds in the past four years by
discarding 422 unprofitable cows,
and by replacing 52 scrub sires with
purebreds of hic;h producing ances
try. The average production .ter
ow has been 7,000 pounds of milk
and 275 pounds of butterfat in a
year, about SO per cent more than
the average mikli cow produces.
Fifty-seven calf club members have
secured their calves from the asso
ciation members.

Farewell to

i Last Article from the Pen of Secre

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. We have put our heart

lead here and in the neighboring j
towns. It has advertised Plattsmouth.
and its chamber of commerce more
widely than anything else. 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. The writer
i curries away with him great hopes
'for Plattsmouth; a deep appreciation
i of the good will and friendship ex

Auxiliary Buying Complete
Service for 200 Folding: Type
Tables Contemplated.
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.
! Another feature of the kitchen i
that it will be available to organiza
tions of the city who desire to pre
pare and serve their own meal, at i

The revenue derived from rent of the
assembly rooms or the entire build
ing, including kitchen, will go to the
i fund being accumulated for eventual
J c ompletion of the structure.
I he small club suppers as well as
'larger banquets can be handled there
in splendid manner and .with window
and roof ventilation provided, it wrUl
be a most pleasing place for the Ad
club, Kotary club and others to con
gregate, with service of their meal
, in the hands of whoever they mav
' select.
! 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. This w ill be
six-inc.h private line, calculated to
Cr-;taVe rare of future as well .is present
needs of the building, including the
installation of shower baths and ad
ditional toilet facilities when the
building goes on up. The plumbing
sub-contract is in lite hands of John
Bauer, who will get busy with iliis
part of the work right away.
Good progress is being made in all
departments of the work and the new
building will be ready for occupancy
by the 1st of September.

Omaha Youth
Drowns in Louis
ville Sand Pit
Harold Ditter, Aged 17, is Victim of
Waters of Lyman-Richcy Sand
Pits Late Yesterday.
From Mnnilay's lnily
Another victim was claimed by the
chilling waters of the sand pits In tlie
vicinity of Louisville Sunday after
noon when Harold Ditter, aged 17.
of Omaha, was drowned in the l.y-man-Richey
sand pits one-half mile
west of Louisville.
The young man had been subjort.
to fainting spells it was stated by
members of the family and it is
thoughthat he suffered one of these
in the chilly waters of the pit, as be
sank out of sight without a struggle
and was not missed for some little
time by bis comrades from Omaha,
who. as s')on as they were unable to
locate him, sounded the alarm, and
efforts were started to recover the
body, being continued by the Louis
ville people through the night until
! a. m. today, when the body was
brought from the waters of the pit. j
The search for -the body was made,
with hay rakes, which were pulled!
back and forth across the pit by :i
force of fifty men for hours before!
the body was finally brought to the
surface anil placed in the hands cjf
the heart broken parents, who had
arrived from Omaha and were pres-
ent when the body was brought to j
the surface. !
The party arrived in Louisville at
about ? o'clock in the afternoon, and
obtaining a boat had been enjoying
themselves for some time when the
tragedy occurred and the boy had
evidently been missing in the water
some time before1 his abser.ee wa
noted by the bey and girl friends.
There were few bathers in the pits
at the time and although it is stated
the water was only 15 feet deep.
the efforts of the other bothers to
locate the body were unavailing and
it was not until the hay rakes were
used that the body was found.
The deceased was a son of Mr. and
Mrs. L. A. Ditter, of 112G South 31st
street. Omaha, and was a sophomore
in the Central High school.
Was Learning1 to Swim
According to members of the Dit
ter family there were four other
boys and three girls in the party.
They were: David Hamilton, loo!)
South 2Sth street; Arvid Johnson,
1302 South 31st street; Dick Stahl,
lllf South 31st street; Louis Rein-
alter, 1111 South 31st street; Mil
dred Maxwell. 1 02 f Park avenue:
Virginia Newcomb and another girl
living in the North side. All are be
tween 16 and IS years of age.They
were traveling in a car driven oy
Reinalter.
The boy was just learning to swim
and on his last attempt had boasted
to his narents that he had been able!
to keew above water for 10 feet, a
siter said. He was a great favorite
in his neighborhood, according to this
mornings Omaha papers, and nis
death ha3 brought grief to many res
ide nts near his home.
