Old Violin in
the Role of Al
laddies Lamp
Brings Joy to Little Betty When
Handling Shows It's a
Stradivarius
Rye, N. Y.. Betty Dyer wanted to
learn to play the violin, but her
chances of persuading her father
John F. Dyer, to let her have violin
lessons didn't seem very good. XIr.
Dyer was a member of the Rye Po
lice Department and supported a
family of eight on a salary of $157 a
month with an occasional "extra"
earned by work as a private chauf
feur. But 10-year-old Betty kept on talk
ing about violin lessons until XIr
Dyer, bent on humoring her if it
could possibly be done, remembered
that "somewhere in the attic" there
was an old violin. Rummaging
around, he finally found it in an old
trunk.
He noticed the words "Antoniu?
Stradivarius" inscribed on the inside
of the instrument. The initials "A.
S." were printed in a circle, followed
by the word "Cremolius.
That was where the Dyer's good
fourtune started. Now, Mr. Dyer is
planning to build a house of his own
and to send his four girls and two
boys to college. He has resigned
from the police force and has several
banks accounts.
A friend to whom he showed the
old violin told him that if it was
really a Stradivarius it was valuable.
Someone offered him $1200 for the
instrument, but XIr. Dyer refuser'
that and took the violin to New York
where it was appraised at $45,000
and it was later sold for $60,000. So
XIr. Dyer's financial problems are
solved and Betty will have her violin
lessons.
PICNIC NEXT WEEK
Rain may be looked for the com
ing week we base this prediction on
the fact that rain and the Sunday
school picnic seem to go hand in
hand, and the Methodist Sunday
school which was scheduled to hold
their big annual outing several weeks
ago but had to postpone the event on
account of rain, is again going to try
the picnic on next Thursday.
The picnic is no small job as the
school numbers over 250 and required
a great deal of effort to get the an
nual event staged with transportation,
grounds, etc., to look after, loads of
ice cream and lemonade to provide
and sanies and amusements to eet
lined up. so the pastor of the church, j
the Sunday school superintendent
and teachers will have their hands!
full.
It is to be hoped that the weather)
man will behave on next Thursday
and allon- the picnic to ba staged and
the usual soed time enjoyed by the
jyoung and old especially the kiddies
of the younger grades.

City; Like Ancient Rome, is
Situated on Seven Hills

Schools and Homes Home of Burling- j
ton Shops and Other Industries !
ONE OF OLDEST TOWNS IN THE STATE
Incorporated in 1855 by Act of Territorial Legislature Was
Outfitting Point for Wagon Trains Enroute to the
West Home of Nebr. Masonic Home
From Friday's Dally
Plattsmouth. county seat of Cas3
county, one of the greatest agricul
tural sections of the United States, is
ideally situated as the gateway to the
great west, the first city in Nebraska
on the great Burlington railway sys
tem to greet the traveler from the
east, and where in the coming months
a great auto and wagon bridge will
span the waters of the Missouri river
just below the railroad bridge, to link
the states of Iowa and Nebraska to
gether and provide a needed part of
the great transcontinental highway
system.
The city of Plattsmouth shares
with Omaha. Nebraska City, Brown
ville, Bellevue and Decatur the honor
of being numbered among the older
cities of the state, the first settle
ments of the territory of Nebraska in
the early fifties, and while many
other communities that sprung up
and flourished in those early days
when the steamboat and pony express
were the means of communication,
have vanished and passed into obliv
ion, these places still enjoy the fruits
of the years of progress of the state
of Nebraska. Plattsmouth was in
corporated in 1S55 by act of the Ter
ritorial legislature, at that time be
ing a group of some six or eight log
cabins and a few pioneer stores lo
cated along the banks of the great
Missouri, and from where the trains
to Denver and the west were outfitted
to battle their way over the plains
and many times face death and de
struction at the hands of the Indians
that roamed the prairies in large
numbers. The city now has a popu
lation of 5,000 persons.
This city was made the site of the
first shops of the Burlington & Mis
souri river railroad in the seventies,
and while this great system has many
shops in operation at points along
their great, line from Denver to Chi
cago, Plattsmouth remains an import
ant point on the Chicago, Burlington
fc Quincy railroad, which maintains
its coach shops here, employing sev
eral hundred men the year round.
Plattsmouth is situated on the
main line of the Burlington from
Chicago to Denver and the main line
of the Missouri Pacific from Kansas
City to Omaha, the shipping facilities
permitting rapid and prompt service
to the farmer and stock raiser to the
markets of Omaha, Kansas City, St.
Louis and Chicago.
There are twenty-six trains and
busses operating in and out of this
city every day to all points east, west,
north and south.
Plattsmouth is nineteen miles from
Omaha, the state metropolis, and has
a large number of residents here
whose business activities are in Om
aha, and is rapidly becoming a popu
lar residential site for those who work
in Omaha, but prefer to enjoy a home
in the attractive surroundings of the
smaller city.
Here is located the great Nebraska
Masonic home, a plant valued at up
wards of $300,000. and which in the
ultimate plans of the association will
become one of the greatest of the nu
merous state homes, with a valuation
of a million dollars, devoted to caring
for the sick and aged members of the
Masonic fraternity, their wives and
widows, as the declining years of
life's span come to them.
The Home grounds, which include
some twenty acres, is one of the real
beauty spots in eastern Nebraska and
the r.iecca for many visitors from var
ious Masonic bodies over the entire
states. The infirmary building, latest
addition to the group, erected by the
Masonic Home association and equip
ped by the contributions of the var
ious bodies of the Masons and East
ern Star, is one of the most up-to-date
buildings of its kind in the west, pro
viding a place where the sick and
bedfast members of the Home are
cared for with expert medical atten
tion and nursing. It has every con
venience, including a fully equipped
operating room, diet kitchens on each
floor and other conveniences seldom
found in even the best hospitals of
the land.
The Home also has a large build
ing that is equipped for the care and
comfort of the residents who are in
a state of health that permits their
daily activities, and where every com
fort is given the members of this
great family. There are now some
sixty-two residents at the Home, 25
at the Infirmary and 37 at the Home
proper.
The Home i3 in charge of William
F. Evers, as superintendent, and Mrs.
Cna Lawton as matron, and the busi
ness affairs of the Home are managed
by the board of trustees, of which
Hon. James M. Robertson, of Platts
mouth, is the president.
The Masonic Home is one of the
greatest institutions of its kind in
the west and many states planning
the establishment of homes for the
aged Lave had representatives here to
look over the Nebraska Masonic Home
as a model institution.
Plattsmouth has one of the high
est ranking high school systems in
the state of Nebraska and the gradu
ates of this school hare occupied
many high positions iu the affairs of
the state and nation in the years
past. The school system consists of j
jthe High school building, a $175,000)
structure. Central and Columbian
i grade buildings and four smaller j
j grade buildings in different parts of i
jthe city, where the 1,200 children of
jthe school are given their education.
(Every facility for a modern and up
i to-date school system and the very
j best educational opportunities is af
i forded the young people of Platts-
mouth and this section of Cass coun
ty. ' Religiously this city has represen
tatives of all of the leading churches
iof the country and the residents give
'splendid support to these churches j
,and the many creeds of the Christian j
faith dwell together in unison in giv-;
ing the word of the Master to the!
'residents of this locality. In the list 1
of churches are St. Luke's Episcopal, f
St. Paul's Evangelical, St. John's and,
Holy Rosary Catholic, First Metho
dist, First Presbyterian, First Chris
tian, Christian Scientist and Holiness,
all of whom hold their regular ser
vices and have large and active con
gregations to carry on the religious
! work of the community,
j The location of Plattsmouth on the
! graveled King of Trails highway
brings hundreds of tourists through
jthe city each day from all parts of
jthe country and this being one of the
principal north and south highways
!of the nation, is a great connecting
jlink between the north and south
j borders of our country. The King of
Trails bridge over the Platte river
erected by Plattsmouth and Omaha
jmen, has just been made a free bridge
and gives a wonderful highway sys
tem from Winnipeg, Canada, to Hous
ton, Texas.
Plattsmouth has a large and beau
tiful public library building and the
, library has a circulation of 3,600
j volumes per month, being the first
library in the United States in per
rentage of circulation per capita. The
library is equipped with one of the
largest and best school reference de
partments of any library in the entire
United States.
In this city there has also been
completed the first unit of the com
munity building, erected by Hugh J.
Kearns post No. 56. of the American
Legion, costing $17,000, with the es
timated cost of the completed build
ing. $40,000. The funds for this first
unit were raised by popular subscrip
tion and proceeds from activities eon-
I ducted by the Legion over a course of
six or seven years.
Plattsmouth has one of the best
systems of paved streets in the state,
and the paving is being extended each
year to cover every section, and this
with an extensive sanitary and storm
sewerage system makes the city
among the most progressive in east
ern Nebraska.
Plattsmouth 13 situated in the heart
of the greatest agricultural section of
the United States and Cass county,
Nebraska, ranks as the most produc
tive of the entire county according to
'government figures. The staple crops
of the county are corn, wheat, oats,
alfalfa and smaller farm crops. The
Missouri valley is one of the greatest
fruit growing sections of the nation
and every variety of fruit is grown
here, apples and grapes being the
staples of the fruit crop. The splen
did railroad and trucking facilities of
Plattsmouth make it a great shipping
point to all parts of the country.
A large co-operative creamery is
organized and work will be started
in the next few weeks on the cream
cry and cheese factory which is own
ed and operated by the farmers of
this section of Cass county.
P!attsmouth has two of the largest
banks in the eastern part of the
state, the Plattsmouth State Bank and
jthe Farmers State Bank, both operat
ing under the laws of the state of
.Nebraska and the guarantee law that
.has saved to the citizens the sum of
I $26,000,000, since it wa3 enacted in
1911.
The business houses of Plattsmouth
embrace every line of commercial ac
tivity and are large ana equippea 10
compare with the stores of the larger
cities and serve the trade territory of
southeastern Nebraska with the best
that the markets of the world can

this section of the state.
Two large hotels serve the travel
ing public in this city and which are
operated very successfully, the Main
hotel, European plan, and the Hotel
Perkins, American plan, serving the
needs of the public.
In addition to the Burlington coach
shops at this point, the Burlington
Refrigerator Express Co. maintains
its repair shops at this point and em
ploys a force of men the year round
in handling the car repairing of this
nation wide company. ,
Plattsmouth has everything that
goes for an ideal home community.

of appropriations from municipal
governments and contributions from
the schools.
Thanks to this law libraries am'
