THURSDAY, OCT. 6, 1927. ill Masons Donate Pair of Furnaces for Auditorium S1QQ( the American Legion Community Building PLATTSMOUTH Saturday Night Give Equipment Replaced by Steam Plant to Xiegion Building Com mittee for Use There From Tuesday's Dally riattsmouth Masonic bodies, in eluding the Blue lodge. Chapter and Knights Templar, have "won a warm spot in the hearts of the Legion building committee and interested citizens generally, by the contribu tion of a pair of furnaces that were used to heat the store rooms in their building occupied by the Ladies Tog gery and the W. A. "Well's grocery, and are now being replaced by steam service from the large boiler installed last year to heat the lodge rooms. The two furnaces are in good con dition and of large capacity, each de signed to supply heat to some thirty thousand cubic feet of space and the two it is estimated will supply plenty of heat for the present unit of the community building and eliminate the necessity of expending money for equipment that would have to be junked when the rest of the building goes up and the contemplated fan system of heating and cooling Is In stalled. Under the terms of their by-laws, the Masons are prevented from vot ing a cash donation from their treas ury to any outside enterprise what soever, but they may give away dis carded equipment or paraphernalia, and although they had cash offers for the two furnaces totaling $125, they were more than glad to give REPORT OP THE CONDITION OF THE PLATTSMOUTH STATE BANK Of Plattsmouth.

'SPEED" BRADFORD HERE From Tuesday's Dally "Speed" Bradford, driving a Whip pet Four Collegiate roadster, made the first lap of his sensational drive of 4,000 miles in a wonderful en durance test, arrived in this city this morning at 9:45 a. m. "Speed" left Omaha at 9 a. m. and made his run to Council Bluffs and thence to Plattsmouth. Hearrived minute ahead of schedule Burlington Veterans to Meet in Omaha From Tuesday's Dativ Just about everybody and their brother are falling in line behind the "Buy-a-Chair' move inaugurated last 2.299.58 Friday at the suggestion of Mrs. Wm. Baird, when it was learned that the chairs used at the formal opening of the new community building were loaned to the Liegion for temporary use. The committee named to receive money is being besieged with willing givers and no solicitation is being made, the matter being an entirely voluntary one. The list now totals approximately 150 and will be held open the balance of this week. As stated yesterday, no I-O-U reservations are being made for the simple reason that the Leg ion boys need all their available time to look, after collection of un paid pledges to the building fund, which still total in the neighborhood of $1,250. The contribution of all who feel like giving to this fund will be very gratefully received, but it is not the intent to ask anyone to subscribe. The committee has arranged to sten cil the name of each contributor on the chair their $1 buy3 and will take care of the addition cost (each chair costing around $1.35) itself, pledging the purchase of one rhair for each $1 contributed by the phblic. As banquet service is to be pro vided for 200, an equal number of chairs is absolutely necessary, while for entertainments, etc., as many as 500 can be used to advantage in the large assembly room. If you want in on the "Buy-a Chair" project, hand your money to any one of the committee named at the foot of the list of contributors, published elsewhere in today's Jour nal, and same will be publicly ac knowledged in tomorrow's paper.

One of a trio of youthful prisoners held in the jail on the charge of auto tire theft, squeezed his way through a narrow overhead conduit that housed the pipes to the jail shower bath, and gaining the corridor of the jail released his companions from the cell house. The three prisoners then slid down a line of hose and made their escape. The three men were Ole and Lester Earlwine and Alfred Clausen. They had been locked in the cell room of the jail for the night as is the cus tom at the Jail and were supposedly safe. The prisoners however, in the new Jail have access to the shower bath room in the cells section. Offi cers believe that two of the prison ers supported a third of the trio, as the difficulty overhead passage is high above the floor, and there are no articles of furntiure that they could have used in reaching the conduit. The alarm was spread over the ad joining counties and Sheriff Bert Reed and Deputy Sheriff Rex Young were called out to spend the greater part of the night in patrolling the bridges over the Platte river to see if the much sought men came this way in getting away from the jail delivery, but no trace was seen of the men who apparently were able to make a clean get away. It is thought that the men may have gone on into Omaha where search for them will be more difficult. -!-IM"M'I"I"M-M"M"I"H' t FARM BUREAU NOTES : Copy for this Department furnished by County Agent 4 M-M"I-M"MH"I"M-M-fr MUSIC IN TJBRAftY The Plattsmouth Woman's club in recent meeting decided to take up the study of music as part of their work during the coming year, and through the recommendation of Mrs. E.
