The paper has eight pages of infor mation and facts of the schol activ ities that is well worth preserving, every branch of the school activities having their record in the school paper. The edition is handsomely illustrated, the cover carrying the picture of the school superintendent, while on the other pages can be found the cuts showing the seniors of the 1928 class, the dramatic club, the debating team, the faculty, the Platter staff, the board of education and the sport representatives of the school in the football, basketball and track teams of the school which the last year made a brilliant record for the Platters in this line of activity. This .edition has been prepared by the staff and with the assistance of R. F. Patterson, the history teacher of the high school, who has had experience in the newspaper work while at Tarkio college and his splendid efforts has made the final issue of the Platter for 1928 a real paper and a credit to the school and the community. Those who wish the copies of the Platter should get in touch with the school authorities, the paper being one of the best showings for the Plattsmouth high school that has been made in many years.

CAES HAVE A SMASHUP From Friday's Dally Last evening a rather serious auto smashup occurred at the intersection of Seventh and Granite streets that resulted in more or less damage to the new Durant car of Robert Painter and the car driven by Louis Keil. Mr. Painter was coming down the rather steep south Seventh street hill and Mr. Keil coming west on Granite street and both cars were In a tie at the intersection, the car of Mr. Painter being shoved over to the curb by the force of the impact and when the cars were finally disengaged and able to go on their way both bore the marks of the mix up altho the drivers of the cars fortunately suf fered no injury as the result of the accident, altho well shaken up.

A similar suggestion was made some months ago by Rev. O. G. Wichman, whose residence adjoins the Legion building on the east. Since then, Rogers has offered toj heartily congratulated upon their achievement. Wednesday evening the graduating exercises drew another large crowd of pleased relatives and citizens. The class numbers three boys and seven girls as follows: Delia Nevada Hartsock Maybelle Bernice Walch Hazel Marie Peckham Varena Marie Estes Verna Lorraine Wall Mildred Mae Meyers Eda Pearl Wachter Doneld L Piersol Watson V.

It will take a lot of paint to do the job, and we'd almost wager the request will come from one of the longest named towns and largest roofed buildings of any of the many which Mr. Rogers will doubtless re ceive as a result of his generous of fer. When the job is done, aviators go ing over will certainly be able to read the name of the town without having to drop down among the treetops to make out the lettering.

The advertisement of the Mer chants Advertising Show which is to be staged at the Parinele theatre on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday has caused a great deal of comment and particularly the announcement that a live "baby" was to be given away on Monday night and several letters and calls have been made on the police department as to the mat ter as the following letters will show: Plattsmouth. Nebr.. May 19. Mr. A. R. Johnson, Chief of Police. Plattsmouth, Nebr. Dear Sir: I note in the advertisement of the Merchants Parmele theatre ad, as published in last nights issue of the Plattsmouth Journal, that an Orphan Baby, is to be given away Monday night at the Parmele theatre. It seems to me, as a citizen of this community, particularly because I have a family myself, that this is rather a cold and inhumane way to place a child, more especialy an or phan. I have talked to several citizens since the publication of this adver tisement, and we' are appealing to you, as Chief of Police of our city, to ascertain if the giving away of this child in this manner cannot be stopped. I wish to further state that my friends and I will be present at the Parmele theatre on Monday night to see that this baby is not given away, but we hope that you will take steps to stop this move or else we (my friends and myself) will personally be there Monday to prohibit it. Yours truly, FRANK E. WARREN. A HEROIC REGIMENT The near approach of memorial day brings the memory of many of the historic bodies of troops that have served under the stars and stripes on battlefields and in service, one of which was the First Nebraska volunteer infantry which served in the Philippine campaigns of 1898 1900. This regiment carried the regi mental designation of the regiment that had fought in the civil war and when they were called into service in the early part of 1898 and mobil ized at the state fair grounds at Lin coln from where they left for San Francisco and then to the Philip pines where they had a grueling ser vice. Of this regiment were several from here, two, H. Guy Livingston and George Mostin paying the supreme sacrifice in the Philippine war, Liv ingston being the first American casualt' in the war that broke out early in 1899. Dr. A. D. Caldwell, long time resident here, was also one of the regiment, serving a3 a private in Co. D., and is the only one in I- -i-?i-;-t-;T-frr1,t.,,..,......Tu.x .
