very much better and the attending
physicians had expressed the bright

Creamery in
First Month Has
Good Record
Directors of Company Re-elected and
Reports Show Results Better
Than Were Anticipated
The meeting of the Farmers cream
ery company was held here Saturday
and the report of the first month of
the company shows a record that waa
far more pleasing than had been an
ticipated by the stockholders of the
company when this newest enterprise
was lunched a month ago and opened
for business.
The stockholders at the meeting
frltcted the present directors of th
company who have shown the great
est interest in the affairs of the
company and havv aided iu the mak
ing of the splendid success that has
marked the operation of the com
pany. The directors elected were:
A. A. Wetenkamp, Mynard; Nick
Frederich. Murray; John Hobscheidt,
Murray; A. N. Sullivan, Mike Lutz,
Arthur Troop, William Halmes,
Plattsmouth.
The reports showed that since the
opening of the active operations of
the creamery on December 21st there
has been churned 7,732 pounds of
butter at the plant and which has
found a ready market, owing to the
splendid quality of the butter pro
duced and which has found its way
into every home in the community as
the famous CasCo brand of butter.
The daily volume of business of
the creamery company has been J200
a day and is a most flattering show
ing for the young and growing com
pany that has come to make a dis
tinctive advance for the dairying in
terests of Cass county.
The co-operation and support that
has been given the creamery in the
county has been most pleasing, and
the stockholders and those interested
hav made the creamery their depot
for the disposal of the cream and
butterfat that has produced the fine
output of butter.
The active management of the
plant is in the hands of Phillip Hoff
man, who came here from the exten
sion department of the agricultural
college of the state university and
who has demonstrated his ability in
the line of producing the best of
butter and in assisting in handling
the business affairs of the plant.
ThiB plant should be made one of
the most successful in the state and
the best efiorts of every citizen should
be given to see that it is able to
grow and expand and make a great
industry in this locality.
The creamery company is receiving
requests for the surplus output of
the plant and as spring opens will
probably have several churnings each
day at the plant to supply the de
mand that is coming in from all lo
calities for the fine product of the
plant.

Will Seek Bill
to Aid Cities on
Highway Work
Hon. Troy L. Davis Will Introduce
Measure Prepared by the Local
Chamber of Commerce.
To relieve a condition that exists
in many of the smaller places over
the state in cities of from 2.500 to
.",000 population in regard to high
way maintaining, the local Chamber
of Commerce has prepared a bill that
will be introduced in the state legis
lature by Hon Troy L. Davis, rep
resentative from Cass county.
This measure is one that is sought
to amend section 832C of the com
piled statutes of 1922 of the state
of Nebraska relative to the main
taining of state and federal high
ways through incorporated cities and
villages. The bill raises the popula
tion of the towns and cities to re
ceive state aid from 2, ".00 as tinder
the present bill to 5,000, and will
ai:l many places over the state in
maintaining the proper highway
without an excessive burden on the
taxpayers of the towns.
In this city the measure would re
lieve the condition that has arisen
on Sixth street where the King of
Trails highway comes through the
city and where the conditions are
very bad for travel as the heavy
truck travel has caused the paving
to resemble a loop the loop as far as
the contour of the street is concern
ed. This paving is of the older type of
brick paving and the city has been
at a great deal of expense in main
taining the same in the last few years
when the traffic has grown much
heavier and the type of trucks oper
ating has grown larger and larger.
Last year in an attempt to restore
the street for the two blocks from
Vine to Pearl the paving was taken
up and relaid along the whole two
blocks, but this proved by a tempor
ary aid as the street is now In worse
shape and especially that block from
Main to Pearl where the uneven
ness of the paving is increasing and
where each passing truck causes the
paving to shift in its contour until
a trip in a car over the paving is a
real ordeal for the traveler.
The repaying of the street with
modern hard paving brick and a
strong and heavy concrete founda
tion is almost a necessity in view of
the increasing travel and it is to se
cure some aid and relief in this mat
ter that the new bill is to be pro
posed by Mr. Davis to the legisla
ture of the state. The same condi
tion prevails in many of the smaller
towns and cities of the state between
the 2,500 and 5,000 class and would
give all some measure of relief in
state aid in such street work as is
necessary to make the streets used as
highways fit for the heavy travel
that must pass over them.
The condition of the local street
has occasioned more or less discus
sion and the residents of the city
have desired that the legislature be
asked to give some relief to citie6 of
this class and the Chamber of Com
merce legislative committee composed j
of Judge James T. Begley, W. A. !
Robertson and J. A. Capwell have j
prepared the measure for presenta-j
tion at Lincoln.
SLIP AND SLIDE
From Tuiday' DaJlr
The weather today was of a mix
ture of winter and spring with a
mist that froze on the streets and
walks and made it one of the most
disagreeable days of the year to get
around. Sidewalks that had been
cleaned bv the industrious property
owners became as slippery- as that of
the less ambitious residents that nad
allowed the ice and snow to remain
on the walks and it was a very good
stepper that did much traveling and
kept from receiving a fall.
In many cases thy walks were
maiie nassible bv the use of ashes or
salt placed to melt the sleet and ice
and which helped some in allowing
the foot passengers to get around.
Despite all care and caution a
great many falls occurred over the
city but none of which as far as
can be learned were of a very serious
nature bevond the shaking up of the
parties that were the victims of these
accidents.
Auto travel was not improved by
the sleet and icy condition of the
highways and streets and only those
who had real necessity of getting
around were out to brave the dis
agreeable weather.
FIRE DEPARTMENT BUSY
From Tuesday's Dariy
Last night at midnight the fire de
partment received a call from the
Plattsmouth Motor Co., on South 6th
street and after a dash of some three
blocks it was found that this was a
false alarm fortunately and no fire
existed at the garage.
This afternoon the department was
called to the home of It. H. Patton
in the south part of the city where
soot in the chimney had caught fire
and heated the chimney very danger
ously and caused the alarm to be
given but fortunately the fire was
extinguished before the arrival of
the department and no damage to the
home resulted.
TAKEN TO HOSPITAL
From Weonesnay's iJallv i
Last evening Mrs. Edgar Newton
was taken suddenly very ill at the ;
home here with what was found to ;
be an acute attack of appendicitis
and was at once rushed to the Meth- j
odist hospital at Omaha where she !
was operated on as soon as possible '
after reaching there. The patient
was found to be in very serious thape
and the operation performed none ;
too soon as the appendix was almost ',
ruptured and would have caused ser- i
ious complications. The patient is
reported today as doing ju.st as well '
as could be expected and it is thought
that the operation will be a complete
success.

Overhead Crossing and Changes in
Conrse of Highway in Sarpy
County to Start Soon
From Wednesday's Dally
When Fpring emerges from the cold
and snow of winter it will bring with
it a resumption of the activities of
road work over the state and among
other of the highways that will have
improvements made is that of the
King of Trails highway between this
city and Fort Crook and which will
make a much better and safer high
way in every way.
The state department of public
works and the federal government
which has the charge of the work on
the highway will make some very
radical changes in the highway
thorugh Sarpy county that will be a
great improvement and eliminating
two very bad crossings at the Pappio
o,i o t oDio
at
The road leading from the oil sta
tion near Fort Crook will make a
straight course south and cross the
railroad tracks east of where the pre
sent crossing is located and making
the path of the highway through
the farm that is located east of the
present road and Joining the present
highway near the small culvert
bridge, which will eliminate the
short and sharp curves over the rail
road tracks as at the present exist.
At LaPlatte the road will also be
straightened out with the overhead
crossing taking the road north of the
present crossing and making a
straighter shoot of the highway onto
the Platte river bridge.
These changes have been in con
templation since the Platte river
bridge became a free structure but
the disagrements with the property
owners along the highway near Wal
nut Grove compelled several changes
in the plans to be made to give a
better and safer highway for the
traveling public through that section.

himself against Jack Move for a few
rounds just as the long-delayed Onm
ha men appeared on the scene.
George Schmader, who was slated
to meet Billy Love, colored light
weight, in the feature bout, was un
able to go into action on account
of injuries sustained a few days ago.
He was substituted for by George
Sedlacek, one hundred ami eighty
five pound Plattsmouth boxer, who
put up a magnificent defensive thru
out the bout and demonstrated his
ability as an agressor, as well.
Tommy Love, brother of the color
ed lightweight, met one of hi? own
sparring partners. J. C. Hall, in a
three round exhibition bout, in
which young Love did some very
clever boxing.
And then, out came the "Mystery
Man" again, to battle this time with
Billy Love for two fast, clipping
rounds. Had it been possible for a
decision bout to be held, there might
have been an upset in the dope had
Love and the mystery man really
clashed; the latter showing the fans
his wicked uppercut on two occa-
, sions. as it was
boost the 'Plattsmouth boys. Appre
ciated also by the Eagles was the
strong support evidenced by the 390
fans present, and their generous con
tribution to help defray the expense.
Iet us hope that more of these
clean sports may he brought to
Plattsmouth in the near future.
