Neb.-Saturdav Night o , Barn Yard Twins Orchestra FREE LUNCH CO CENTS Chad Welfare Week to be Ob served Here Children's Health Conference Will be Held Here on Friday and Sat urday of This Week. The Children's Health Conference, which has been conducted in our city for three years, will be held again ! this year, on Friday, May ISth, all day at Central building, beginning at 18:00 o'clock a. m. and 1:00 o'clock , p. m. and Saturday morning at Co lumbian school building, beginning at 8:00 o clock a. m. This is called the summer "Round up" for children, especially those who will enter school this Fall, but in order to give parents ample time to provide for any correction of physical defects which may handicap a child on entering school, we are asking that all children from the age of three be allowed to enter the clinic this year. Parents, we urge you to think ser iously about this matter and not de lay having the examination for your child even if it might not be as con venient for you just now as at some other time. It costs you nothing and you will be surprised at the informa tion you will gain along lines you never thought about before. Many parents during the past years have been surprised to learn of their child's lack of physical ability, when appar ently there was nothing wrong. This is an opportune time to learn. If you were going on an automo bile journey you would not think of starting without a thorought over hauling of your car. Your child is j starting on the long journey of school life. May ne or sne start witn me best equipment physically. This work is under Federal con trol and comes to us direct from the Department of Child Hygiene of our state department at Lincoln. Litera ture, blanks and registration cars are with us and a nurse from the state will be here Friday and Saturday. The committee is ready for work in all parts of our town and will call upon you at home. If anyone who desires to take advantage of this con ference is not called up, just call up your nearest committee woman, who will give you information. For Central building, the following members of P. T. A. are registering children: First Ward Mrs. Hallie Dovey has a committee working with her. Second Ward Mrs. L. D. Hiatt, Mrs. Jas. Bulin, Mrs. Ray McMaken, Mrs. Herman Thomas, Mrs. Frank A. Cloidt and Mrs. Oiadys Groff. Third Ward Mrs. V. T. Am. Mrs. John Hatt, Mrs. Frank Barkus. Mrs. Wm. Highfield, Mrs. Harry Bellar, Mrs. Fred Hirz and Mrs. Harry Lightbody. West Plattsmouth is under Mrs. C. L. Pittman's care and covers part of both the Second and Third wards. Fourth Ward Mrs. J. E. Baldwin has charge of Wintersteen hill terri tory and children will attend either Central or Columbian clinic as they choose. The remainder of the Fourth ward south to Rock street will be un der Mrs. V. Handley and Mrs. R. B. Hayes. Columbian chairman is Miss Net tie Hawksworth, who is sending out registration cards now, and will be as sisted by Mrs. R. H. Patton, Mrs. Joe Libershal, Mrs. John Turner, Mrs. C. C. Cotner, Mrs. Wiley Sigler and Mrs. J. E. Wiles. Will you please keep this article for reference during the week and should you not receive an appoint ment card, call one of the committee nearest you and come anyway. Bring blanket or robe for child during examination and house slip pers if not used to going barefoot. Be sure your child is reported that no one may be missed when checking off attendants.. The doctors and dentists of our city are gladly giving of their time and are anxious that as a community we keep up-to-date on the health pro ject. After examination each child receives a card referring him or her to the family physician under whose advice the parent acts on corrections. Just before school opens the state nurse again visits our community to check the children who will enter school this Fall. May she find U3 100 per cent ready. HOLD SNEAK DAY From Monday's Dally This morning a large auto party of the seniors of the Tecumseh high school were here to enjoy their "sneak day" outing, stopping where while en route to Omaha and thence back home by way of Lincoln. While here a number of the TecUmseh young people visited the local school and enjoyed .watching the Platts mouth young people at their studies. Many of the visiting school have an acquaintance with the basketball, football and track teams of the local school and dropped in to enjoy a few moments visiting with the local students and looking over the city.

Davis Farm Loans Imsmramce Investments Real Estate CUT OFF TRAIN SERVICE From Wednesdays Dally - The date of the withdrawal of trains No. 23, 24. and 14 from the Burlington time card is announced for Sunday June 3rd, when these trains will be taken off the service of the line from Omaha to Pacific Junc tion. The permission has been grant ed the Burlington to make this change by the state railway commis sion, the company making the show ing that the trains were operated at a loss and the service will be pro vided will be ample for all needs of the various places along the line. These trains have been on the rail road time table for a longer period than the memory of the oldest em ploye at the Burlington station can remember altho they have been oper ated at varying hours through the years, but with the growth of the private owned autos and busses the short hauls on the railroad lines is falling off so that all possible cur tailmen of service is necessary. The change made will give but one direct train in the' daytime between this city and Omaha, No. 15 which leaves here at 8:10 a. m. for Omaha. The night train will leave Omaha for this city at 12:30 and will be a mixed freight and passenger train, caring for the freight and switching busi ness between this city and Omaha en route. Replacing the afternoon train, the Schuyler motor car will run from Omaha through this city to Pacific Junction to meet No. 3 and then back to Ashland via Plattsmouth and Louisville and where connections can be made on into Lincoln. DOING EXCAVATION WORK From Tuesday's Dally William Kief, the contractor, has started the work of excavating at the building on South 6th street' formerly occupied by the Wells! grocery and which is being remodel-, ed for the purpose of being used as a motion picture theatre. The floor of the building will be relaid to give a greater depth to the building and which will make it more suitable for the use that the owners of the build ing may have in the adapting for a picture theatre. The entire of the building will be remodeled , it is stated, to make it more suitable for a show house. It is the expectation that the building will be occupied by Omaha parties with the new show.

New Method of Filling Ditches I A short, deep ditch which has but a small area of draining can be filled by plowing and grading in, and then seeding to sweet clover. Isaac Wiles of Weeping Water has filled two ditches this way and at a very low cost, one of them costing only $12 for labor. i Hardy Alfalfa ! The following men have a good stand of alfalfa from both spring and fall seeding: Li. B. Appleman, Alvo; W. 13. Banning. Union; (Jus fiiekman, Eagle. This seed was ship ped direct from western Nebraska or Dakota, and there was no guess wrok as to where it was grown. Around Eagle you can find many patches of alfalfa which was seeded with western Nebraska seed. Myron Wiles of Mynard has a wonderful field of Montana grown alfalfa. I. B. Appleman, Alvo, has 3 fields of Canadian variagated alfalfa. i Mange In Hogs T. C. McKinnon of Alvo and Wm. j Umland of Eagle are strong believers in crude oil or lime sulphur dip j for mange in hogs. Both had fall pigs with extremely mad mange. Now t the hogs are on the market. Too many dollars are being lost in Cass county due to hog mange. When the Binder Bucks Like a Broncho The story of the old Arkansas farmer who answered when asked why he did not patch his roof "that when it was raining he couldn't fix it and when it didn't rain he didn't need it fixed." has an application in some of land owners today. In other words when it is raining and the rich earth is washing from the hillsides they can't do anything tc stop it and when it is not raining it does not need stopping. I believe we will agree, however, that some thing could be done in both cases. Did you ever ride a broncho? If not, you can get about the same ex perience in riding a binder or mow inf machine across a field all cut up with ditches. The small ones are bad enough, but when you hit a big one and break a casting or two then trouble begins. Perhaps the best cure for small ditches is to fill them with well rotted manure or straw and then plow them in until they are easily crossed. This should not be done on large ditches which have attained a depth of two or three feet. The old straw stack will serve a much better purpose placed in these small ditches than any other use can be made of it. In some cases it may be necessary to hold the straw in place with small stakes which are not so large but what they can be cut off with the plow if they should accidentally be hit. L. It. SNIPES, Co.

The ladies had come from Omaha and during their trip down from the metropolis had a wild and rough journey, their zig-zazzing from one side of the road to the other threatening the life and limb of the other persons who might be traveling on the highway. Among those who had a narrow escape from having his car forced from the high way was City Attorney J. A. Cap well, who was enroute home from the great metropolis. The party of ladies were passed by Mr. Capwell and it was not ascertained that they were heading through this city until late in the afternoon when a message from Union stated that three women had stopped at a filling station at that place and secured a supply of gas that they had failed to pay for and had then gone on north.
