PAGE EIGHT THURSDAY. MAY 10. 1928. PLATTSMOUTH SEMI WEEKLY JOURNAt Sawing 7 i is Two questions of importance you might like to ask before becoming a customer of Black and White: "Can I save money?" and "Is the service satisfac tory?" We can answer them both to your entire satisfaction. Many of our steady customers are opening Savings accounts with the amount they are able to save on their weekly provision bills others have reduced their budgets and are diverting the extra money into other channels. You can do like wise. Now, a word about the SERVICE you can wait on yourself (insuring greatest speed) and al ways find a smiling, courteous attendant ready to show you where things are or help you select just what you want. You can send the children here to shop with utmost confidence or if you wish, you can phone your order and we will have it ready when you come for it.

This oity is to have a bier "Pow wow," but irstead of this gathering being a war council of the warlike Sioux or other of the tribes that once roved the Nebraska plains, this gath ering will merely be the Indians that belong to the Chamber of Commerce, all of whom as far as we know are "good Indians." i At the annual meeting of the Chamber of Commerce held in Janu ary, it was voted by the membership to have an open forum meeting at least once a month and while this was covered by the Happy Hundred meetings in the winter months, it . was decided by "Chief Cliff" and ! other of the members of the war council, to have the first of the even ing forum meetings held under the designation of the "Pow-wow." i This meeting will be held at S o'clock on Thursday, May 31st and will be a general meeting at which the club reports will be given, the ..business of the Chamber of Commerce transacted and the various enter prises that the civic organization has on tap for the next few months will be discussed. j This is everybody's meeting and all who have the civic interest at heart are urged to get out and have a part in the Pow-wow" of the Chamber of Commerce. These meetings will be held once each month and the public and all of the members of the Cham ber of Commerce are urged to attend and get in touch with what is doing in the line of civic improvement and plans and also come ready to put their shoulders to the wheel and give one big shove to the move to make i this the best year in the city's history. r i ii iihi jV fjr, u t - Juniors Tender Farewell to the Senior Class Reception and Banquet to the Senior Class One of Features of the School Year.

Davis Farm Loams Insurance Investments Real Estate Search for Alleged Buried Money Given Up Thorough Search cf the Premises John Usozviz Fails to Reveal Any of Buried Wealth. of j From Weilnesiiav s Daily j The search that has been in pro gress since Saturday morning to try land locate the $1,000 which John Usozviz, murderer-suicide, claimed to have concealed about the premises on East Cut Oil street, is ending with failuiv to find the amount about the place and it is thought the man. craz ed by his killing of his two neighbors had written the message of the money being left while in his irresponsible condition. The search has been conducted at the residence by Jack I'.rittain un der the diiection of Sheriff Belt Reed and it has been thorough as the house has been searched almost with a fine comb and the grounds gone over with a spade in practically every place that it would be possible to hide the money, if any there was. Mr. JJrit tain has taken several days and searched the house, cave, woodpiles, outbuildings and al 1 other places where it might be possible to cache the store of money but without any measure of success. This morning Sheriff Reed decided that the .search had gone as far as was possible and not tear the house completely down and accordingly the official search for the funds has been abandoned. The disposition of the other prop erty of the dead man, real estate and a small savings account in Omaha, as well as the S22.75 left at his home at the time of death have not as yet been disposed of and the ultimate outcome of this property will depend on what action if any that the rela tives in Europe might make. The dying statement of Mr. Usozviz indi cated a desire to leave his money and property to Mr. Emberry and which mav be accepted in court as a legal will. Death of an Old Time Cass Co. Resident A. F.

From Wednesday's Daily I.'ist evening the first of the social activities that marks the close of the school year was held the Junior Senior reception, and which was stag ed by the young men and women of the class of HU'D in honor of the class of 192S. The reception was held at the Am erican Legion community building, the interior of which had been trans formed into a place of rarest beauty by the juniors, the colors of purple and gold, the senior colors, being woven into the decorative plan or the hall. The center section of the hall was enclosed as the banquet hall by the lattice work of gold and blue, the pillars supporting the uoof solid blocks of blue and over the whole the solid ceiling of blue, cleverly arrang ed and making the whole of the ban quet room one of the greatest charm. Entrance ways were gracefully ar ranged with arched designs and drapes in the blue and gold. The orchestra stage also had a very artistic canopy of the blue and gold and with a large arched centerpiece that added to the charm of the whole of the decorative scheme. To the south of the improvised banquet hall there was arranged the rest room where soft and comfortable chairs, iloor lamps and other home comforts added to the pleasure and comfort of the guests. The tables in themselvs works of art, with, gold candles and the floral decorations of the yellow roses and sweet peas to further emphasize the color scheme. Tiny candy corsages cleverly ar ranged by the ladies of the American Legion Auxiliary were at each of the gills' places while the boys received candy boutonniere as their favors of the banquet. The progri.ms and place cards were the work of the members of the jun ior class, the programs being marked by a cover of the blue and gold.

Cummins, president of the board of education, who extended the well wishes of the board of their graduating class of 192S and with his remarks the gala occasion came to a close as one of the happiest and yet perhaps a little sad to the schoolmates of the past four years in the IMattsmouth hiah school.
