Nolte is Named as President of Company that Brings New Interest to Farmers of County in Own Plant WORK ON BUILDING TO START SOON Site Will Be at Main and Richey Streets Company Has Paid-Up Capital Stock of $20,000.00 with All Farmer Stockholders in Concern From Thursday's Dally Last evening the board of direc tors of the recently organized co operative creamery company held a session at the Riley hotel in this city and formally organized and started to function as a live organ ization and on that will mean a great deal to the farmers of the county. The name selected was that of the Farmers Creamery and Produce Co., of Plattsmouth and which will in a few months become known over this section of the state as one of the live and growing creamery plants of the state. The company is organized with a capital stock of 520,000 and every stockholder of the new company is a real farmer or in active management of a farm in Cass county and num bered among these are some of the most successful and alert business men of the community. The officers named by the -company at the meeting of the directors were: President W. P. Nolte. Vice-President Henry F. Noltlng. Secretary H. L. Gayer. Treasurer E. H. Spangler. j Directors of the company are th ; executive officers and "Albert A.bertj A, Wetenkamp, Nick Frederich and John Hobscheidt, Jr. The company Just organized will, as provided by the articles of incor poration, be engaged in the manu facture of butter, ice cream, and also the purchase and selling of all kinds of farm produce. $500 for the First Butter from New Creamery Chamber of Commerce to Purchase First Product of Co-Operative Creamery in This Cty. The first pound of butter that is produced at the farmers co-operative creamery in this city is to be worth 500, cash in hand and will become the property of the Plattsmouth Chamber of Commerce. When the matter of the creation of the creamery was first brought up by the agricultural committee of the Chamber of Commerce it was decided that the organization should be one of farmers as near as possible and the result was that the stock necessary was subscribed by tha live and active members of the community In this section of Cass county. To show their ap preciation of the fine work of the live wire members of the company nnfl still not trv and have direct fi nancial Interests in the creamery the , Chamber of Commerce voted to give, S500 to the project aB a friend of the advancement of the agricultural in terests of the county and this sum to be voted for the first pound of but ter that was turned out of the new creamery when it was placed in oper ation. It won't be long now, as the popu lar saying goes, the creamery com pany building committee having tak en as the site of the new modern creamery, the lots at the corner of Main and Richey streets just south of the A. G. Bach store and on which Bite will be erected the fine struc ture that should prove a real epoch for the farming interests of this part of Cass county and make a great step toward a development of greater dairy growth of the dairy interests in this part of the state. The site which was formerly owned by the defunct First National bank, has been decided upon and the receiver of the bank has accepted the offer made for the bank's interest in the lot and will transfer to the company the full rights to the lot and which will make an Ideal place for the creamery. The realization of the creamery will be the accomplishment of many years of desire to help stimulate the dairy development of this section which if it is followed out will bring an unfailing source of profit to the farmer and a return that will not be subject to the rising and fall The site of the plant that will be erected in the next few months and should be in active operation by winter, will be on the lots at the cor ner of Main and Richey streets and will be one of the finest and most up to date creamery.' buildings that can be found in the state of Ne braska. The equipment of the cream ery will be supplied by the Peter man company of Chicago, one of the largest manufacturers of creamery and butter making machinery in the United States. This creamery marks a great stride forward for the farming interests of Casa county and as well that of Sarpy county which adjoins us on the north as a developing force for the dairy interests of this section. It deserves the support and backing of every man, woman and child in this section as the means of making a source of income for the farm that will not be affected by the failing or over pro duction of the farm crops. The dairy industry of Wisconsin and Minnesota have thrived while other sections of the great farming areas have been in depression and the establishment of the creamery here is one that will mean an advance toward a greater return to the farmer on' what he has to sell and gives the incentive to ward a greater step forward. The day that the creamery opens for active work will be a gala occa sion for the residents of Cass county and this city will see that it is most fittingly observed by a holiday celebration. ing markets for the farmers pro ducts.

Drowned Man is Said to be Andrew Toth, of Omaha Daughter Visits Here Today and Body Taken Up for Identifica tion Committed Suiside From Thursday's Daliy This morning the body of the man taken from the Missouri river at this place Tuesday evening was identified as that of Andrew Toth, aged 60 of Omaha, who had disappeared from the home of Mrs. Mary Vosofsky, 1331 Ogden street, Omaha, on Sun day afternoon. A daughter of the unfortunate man came here Just before noon and visiting Oak Hill cemetery where the body has been disintered for the purpose of identification, made posi tive that the remains were those of her father. The identification was made by means of a scar from an operation wound that he had carried for a number of years on his body. The first reports of the finding of the body had impressed the family that perhaps it was that of their father and which to settl was. decided by the visit of the daughter and her identification of the body. Mr. Toth had at several times. the daughter stated, expressed his in tention of jumping In the river and on Sunday afternoon had left home suddenly without the knowledge of the members of the daughters' fam ily, with whom he lived. The find ing and identification of the body brought a great relief to the mem bers of the family, who while grief stricken had the assurance of the definite fate of the aged man. STOP SIGN ORDINANCE TO BE RIGIDLY ENFORCED The mandate of the city council and mayor that sufficient educational period has elapsed for everyone to become acquainted with the stop signs, their location and meaning, has been received by the police of the city and those who fail to heed the provisions will have to pay the penalty. From now on the police force have received instructions that they must arrest all violators of the city ordi nance covering the stop signs, and will be compelled to take into cus tody those who fail to heed the dainty rubber signs that lead into the arterial highways. The greatest difficulty that has been found has been at the stop signs at Sixth and Main streets, and here the police have in the past warned and called hundreds of car drivers, but no more. In the future, when the signs are passed up, the police will have to escort the drivers to the police court to offer the salu tation, "Good morning. Judge," and the fine and costs that the city ordi nance has prescribed will be given. The driver of a car in the vicinity of the stop signs should stop, even if they do not look and listen, or the consequences will be upon their heads, men and women alike.

From Friday's Dally A serieus auto wreck involving four Plattsmouth5 people occurred last night at 8:15 on the King of Trails highway ten miles north of Nebraska City, in which Mr. and Mrs. William Dettmer and Mr. and Mrs. Edward Fullerton all suffered injuries, Mrs. Fullerton being the most seriously injured of the party. Mr. Dettmer was. driving his sedan and the party were en route to Ne braska City to visit with friends at that place and when the car started up an incline in the highway ten miles north of the Otoe county city, the lights of the Dettmer car re vealed a large truck standing parked in the highway and without lights or driver, the lights of the Dettmer car did not strike the truck until the car was but a few feet away and going at a very fair rate of speed and Mr. Dettmer attempted to swing his car to clear the truck but without success. The car crashed into the truck, the rear of the truck just grazing the front part of the Dettmer car and striking with full force into the second door of the car, where the ladies were seated. The flying glass and splintered side of the rear of the right hand side of the Dettmer car was all that : was left of this part of the car when the car swung by the force of the impact finally stopped several feet farthe rahead and the truck was swung clear into the right hand side of the roadway. Mrs. Fullerton was sitting in the rear seat on the side where the truck struck and her most serious wound was a deep and long cut on the tem ple that severed some of the small veins and caused the victim of the wreck to be bathed in blood when she was extricated from the car by the member of . the y,a.rty .and the oc cupants of a car that came from the south and stopped to help the injured party. Mrs. Fullerton also suffered a bad gash on the face ex tending from the corner of the mouth to the ear. Mrs. Dettmer suffered a cut on the lower right limb and two small cuts on the face as well as severe bruises. Mr. Fullerton had two cuts on the head that were painful but not ser ious while Mr. Dettmer also suffered superficial cuts and bruises. The injured parties were hurried into Nebraska City and placed in the St. Mary's hospital where the injuries were dressed and where they are being cared for until the full extent of possible injuries might be ascertained. Mr. Fullerton was able to return home last night to secure clothing for himself and wife as they were bloodsoaked as the result of the ac cident and at once returned to Ne braska City to be with the wife at the hospital and to learn the full extent of the Injuries that she may have suffered. The truck that caused the accident was owned by the Nebraska City Bot tling Works and the driver had car trouble when returning home and had to stop and in doing so had failed to leave the lights burning and had gone to a nearby farmhouse to try and secure help and while ab sent the accident occurred.

ARNOLD CREAMERY IS GOING STRONG Andy Weinberg, who is to have charge of the work of the construc tion of the building and the install ing of the machinery for the Farm ers Creamery and Produce Co., in this city, has received word of the fine success that the creamery at Ar nold, Nebraska is making. The Arnold creamery was opened on May 1st and has been making rapid Etrides forward since that time, and in a letter that Mr. Wein berg received today the information is given that the plant had turned out 40,000 pounds of butter in the month of July, averaging a ton a day for the working days of the plant. Larga stocks of eggs and poultry have also been handled by the cream ery company and which has made for the success of the project as well as the output of butter. Interstate Ball Meeting Does Not Pick Flag Winner Directors of the League to Determine How Disputed Matter of Game Can Be Best Handled From Thursday's Daliy Shakespare has said, "to be or not to be." which well describes the situation in the Interstate base ball league composed of several Omaha teams and also the base ball teams of Plattsmouth, Malvern, Fort Crook and the Maccabees of Council Bluffs, re lative to the pennant of the league. Last evening a meeting was held at Omaha and which was attended by President Sam Moye of the local club. Manager W. T. Distell, Joe Krejci, John Svoboda and Harry New man, members of the team. It had been the understanding that the game here a week ago Sunday would be a deciding factor in the pennant race, Plattsmouth and North Omaha leading the league and as the result of the game Plattsmouth wor bv the score of 9 to 1. The losers filed a. protest a tbe-game owing to4din mounds, the mud logs, and the the fact that Jim Phillips, former pitcher of the Council Bluffs and Mis souri Valley teams, did the hurling for Plattsmouth, which resulted in the pennant being in dispute despite the fact that the game last Sunday was forfeited by the North Omaha team. At the meeting the decision "was left to the President of the league, being thought the best way of handling the matter, as there had been a great many violations of the players rules by all of the teams. The Plattsmouth team will alsc probably protest the game of August 5th on the ground that the shortstop of the North Omaha team was not signed as a regular member of their team, in which case it is probable that the two teams will have to play the game over. As Plattsmouth and Omaha both have games up to Labor day the postponed game will have to await until the time of the. fall sea son. Plattsmouth has only one more game in the schedule, that with the Knights of Columbus, while North Omaha have to mix with the Julian- Essex and Malvern, Iowa, so that if they lose either of these games the pennant is all shot anyway. MRS. FULLERTON POORLY From Saturday's Dany The reports received here this morning from Nebraska City state that Mrs. Edward Fullerton, who was so severely injured on Thurs day night in the auto wreck near that place, is still in very serious condition and her case today is even more critical than yesterday.

The patient has been badly bruised as well as the wounds and which makes her condition most critical. Mrs. William Dettmer is unable to walk as yet on account of the in jury to her leg caused by particles of glass, but her case is not thought serious.

The board of Mills county adopted the following resolution on Tuesday and which was presented at the bear ing at "Kansas City.
