The man apparently had commit

Those who are familiar with the
Litchy family are of the opinion that
this is the former resident of this
community who a year ago moved tc
the vicinity of Stuart and Atkinson
and the first that has been heard of
the family by the friends was the
newspaper dispatch of the death by

Former Secretary of Chamber of This
City Writes to the Even- ,
ing Journal.
Tt nrmirrpfl to me that DOSSiblv
as I am no longer in the employ of
your local chamber, therefore any
ideas I might offer could be accept
ed on the distinterested basis in
which they are given, and not effect
ing myseii irom a, pei-suna view
point. In using the word disinter
ested I do not mean lack of interest
in your city and community for
wherever I may go, I will always
carry with me the best of wishes for
Plattsmouth, Cass county and Ne
braska. The industrial problems of any
chamber are its most perplexing, and
especially is this true of the com-
munities that consider the only good
of a chamber must be demonstrated
in its ability to secure "smoke stacks'
for its city.
Quoting from John M. Guild, sec
retary of the Kansas City, Missouri,
chamber in an address before the Na
tional association of secretaries, of
which I am a member, he states:
"The number of new industries en
tering such cities as Cleveland
Pittsburgh, Detroit. Youngstown
Cincinnati, and Toledo is so small as
to be negligible. The growth of
these cities is almost entirely from
operation and production of old,
rather than new industries. Public
clamor for new industries seems to
come solely from real estate men.
Movement of concerns from built-up
sections of suburban towns and ten
dency of new plants to start in small
towns which are parts of large in
dustrial regions appears to be con
tinuing." And continuing further "Concur
rently with general industrial study
there should be made an intensive
study of our own town. We must
know our own city. It should be
sold first to the HOME people, who
in turn will give the very best ad
vertising we have." "From a care
ful study of industrial growth dur
j ing the past year there is n6 doubt
that to foster local industries, to
help finance concerns already estab
lished, to encourage local capital to
back local Industries and to see that
every facility and aid is given to
existing industries, is the best chan
nel for industrial development un
fortunately, in certain sections of
the country that have been more
agricultural than industrial it is dif
ficult to inculcate this idea Indus
trial financing is one of the great
problems we are up against." And
"A lot of small concerns are trying to
make a living in poor surroundings.
Attention should be given to them.
It will pay to see that these are prop
erly housed instead of going gun
ning after new concerns. Many cities
have factory or incubator buildings
with up-to-the-minute equipment
which the average small concern
could not individually afford.
Again "Good city government, and
the welfare of the worker, substan
tial public improvement, and proper
housing are all important factors.
We should consider the welfare and
progress oi tne surrounding country.
i about our available markets, and the
consuming power. We must recog
nize that help wanted by Industrie?
in a financial way is difneutr but it
muts be met as is necessary in each
case. If 'we put our town on the map
industrially we must advertise it to
the limit of our resources."
"Conserving and increasing the
community payroll can be done ef
fectively by aiding local industries
which are often struggling for exist
ence." D. W. Thomas, director of Agri
culture and - live stock development
for the Denver chamber stated
"Any dairyman who knows his busi
ness will tell you that a cow must
produce 150 pounds of butter fat a
year to pay for her feed. You will
find hundreds of dairy farmers in
each of your districts paying for the
privilage of milking a few cows."
(However in Colorado cows produc
ing 301 pounds of butter fat a year
return to their owners, $2.24 for
each dollar expended).
As C. R. Miles, secretary of the
Davenport, Iowa chamber in speak
ing of headquarters for the local
chamber states: "In the first place
a chamber of commerce building af
fords a central meeting place for
those engaged in all types of com
munity endeavor and finally it is
indicative of permanence that sep
arates the chamer of commerce and
its activities from the many current
"isms" and sporadic civic movements
of the day." The above, with ref
erence to the splendid Judgment ex
ercised by the Plattsmouth chamber
in its decision to maintain its quar
ters on No. 6th street, as reported by
your good dally paper, the Journal.
In regard to "A balanced city,"
secretary of the chamber at London
Ontario, claimed: "The leisure time
of the people is a great reservoir out
of which should come creative ex
pressions of the community. A bal
anced city provides recreational fac-
Ilities that truiy re-creaio. ,o
touches on a theme very near and
dear to the citizens of Plattsmouth
a recreation park, and swimming
pool! And you will observe that
these reflections I am giving come
from men up in chamber work and
are worthy of study and considera-

ing new industries for the commun
ities they serve. Several instances
are known where managements of
industrial establishments seeking lo
cations for branch plants would not
consider any community that did not
support a chamber of commerce,
realizing that lack of support of
such a civic institution by the citi
zens is an evidence of lack of civic
pride and spirit and of an unbalanc
ed city. A city without a vigorous
chamber of commerce is like a man
without sufficient vitality to dc
things. The chamber of commerce
represents a city's stamina and there
fore has an important part to play
in the building of a balanced city."
In a discussion of ."Selling your
city to itself" Secretary D. N. Casey
of Pissburgh, Pennsylvania advises
as follows regarding luncheon clubs:
"No luncheon club is a chamber of
commerce or a community organiza
tion. It can be a bulwark of strength
and should be utilized. Care must be
taken not to present to such a coun
cil, any of the problems of the cham- I
ber of commerce. These should be j
settled by the board of directors j
whom the membership elects for that :
specific purpose. The luncheon club j
should net usurp the performance of
the chamber, and thee hamber should
stay within its own scope, co-operat
ing with other organizations, ask
ing their assistance but first doing
its own job thoroughly."
If this article can even in a small
measure bring home to a few, the
importance of the local chamber
some of its problems, and ideas and
suggestions of men who are experts
in chamber work, it will not have
been in vain.

Damage Suit
is Dismissed
Through the Question of Right
Title to Real Estate Court Has
No Jurisdiction.
of
From Saturday's Daily
The case of Mrs. Effie Masters vs.
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
railroad yesterday, was dismissed by
Judge Duxbury on the ground of lack,
cf jurisdiction of the court in the
case.
When the trial of the action which
was for the recovery of damages was
brought up for hearing it was devel
oped that the title to the real estate
in question was involved and in
which thp county court had no juris-'
diction and caused the dismissal . of
the action and which will make nec
essary the plaintiff filing an action
in the district court if the matter is
desired to be pushed.
The plaintiff in the action had de
mandtd damages alleged to hnve been
sustained to her property by reason
of t'r.e construction cf a dyke or ditch
by the two railroad companies and
which the plaintiff claimed had caus
ed her property to be overflowed with
witer from Mill creek.
The case attracted the r.ttention
of a great many from Louisville and
a large number of witn-s.-es from
that place were here for the hearing
at the county court.
