I As heretofore stated. Mr. Seydlitz.
Iwho is a former Plattsmouth man.
rr was for some time in charge of the
'Capitol theatre, at Lincoln, one of
the finest moving picture houses in
jthe capital city. Following is his
statement
"I wish to announce to the people
of Plattsmouth and vicinity that
1 have taken over the interests of
i Messrs-. Cloidt and Moore in the Par-
, mele theatre, effective December 30,
i 1928. and thereafter this theatre will
be managed by me personally. I ex
pect to put into effect at the Parmele
the same kind of policy I had in the
! Capitol theatre of Lincoln, which
made it one of Lincoln's finest and
most successful theatres.
"I believe Plattsmouth Is large
enough to have sound pictures in its
theatre, which I hope to put in my
'policy, providing I can put this house
; over us it should be. I believe the
people are entitled to something big
I ger than just pictures as the Par
mele is ideal in its height of ceiling
land architecture of building for the
'sound pictures that are now taking
the country by storm. All pictures
will eventually be available for sound
and nearly all the theatres having
sufficient seating capacity to afford
it. will be equipped with some kind
of sound device.
"I might also mention that I will
be at the theatre at all times and
mothers need have no fear in letting
their little girls and boys come when
ever they wish, as there will posi
tively be no loafing allowed around

"I will have a matinee every Sun
day at 2:30, beginning December
30th.
I understand there is a 'dish'
night at this theatre, which I do not
quite understand but will leave same
as it Is for the present and if I decide
to discontinue same I will give every
body a chance to fill their set of
dishes. I also understand there is a
family night. This I think is fine
and will leave same.as it is.
"I do not know if there are any
more 'freak' nights or not, but will
say I will handle them to the best of
my ability and in conclusion will say
that I wish you all a Happy New

urged the reporters in MeorasKa 10
get a certified reporters law and take
appointment oT reporters out of poli
tims. Ira Arch or Council Bluffs, in
his talk also urged that action be
taken along this line.
The reporters following the speech
es went on record in favor of it. It
is claimed that such a law raises the
standard of reporters. It is also
claimed that it would do away with
the attempt of politicians to influence
a judge to appoint some one to the
position who was not qualified.
Each reporter would be required to
take an examination by a state board
before being certified. The judges, it
was pointed out, would not be pro
hibited from appointing anyone they
wished to appoint providing the re
porter had been duly certified.

a new publication. Station circular
37 of the Nebraska Experiment Sta
tion, which is now available for dis
tribution at the College and thru
county extension agent's offices. The
first part of the circular deals with
lice and their control. It recommends
for the control of lice the use of blue
ointment, which is a paste, or a so
dium fluoride, as a powder in win
ter or a dip in summer. Blue oint
ment is easily applied just below
the vent. Two treatments a year to
every 'bird In the flock Is generally
enough to keep the flock reasonably
free from lice. A pound of the oint
ment will treat about 300 hens, since
a piece the size of a pea is enough
for each hen. Two pecrjJe can catch
and treat the birds at the rate of
more than one a minute. L. R.

Burning the Fence Bows.
The farmers who have taken ad
vantage of the dry days this fall to
burn the grass and weeds along the
fence rows, will find that the damage
done to their crops next year will be
less than that of bis neighbor who
did nol do this. Burning weeds and
fence rows in the fall is the best way
to destroy chinch bugs, grasshoppers
and other crop insects.
