learn that he is now doing very nice
ly and has recovered to a great extent

where he is at present making bis
home. Mr. McElwain was very ill
here last winter and his recovery
was not expected but he rallied and
improved so much that he was able :
to accompany his brother, Roy, back j

PENSION IS GRANTED
- . - TO MRS. MARSHALL
Washington Jan. 25. President
Coolidge today signed a bill granting
att annual "perslbri of $3,000 to Mrs.
Thomas R. Marshall, widow . of the
late vice president.
The Law Cov
ering Use of the
Board Numbers
Matter of Pasteboard Anto Numbers
a Temporary Accomodation
to Car Purchaser
Pasteboard license numbers are
issued by a dealer for a specific pur
pose. This purpose is to give the pur
chaser time in which to secure his
license plates from the county trea
surer and use the automobile in the
meantime.
The law requires that when a
dealer issues a pasteboard number
to the purchaser, he shall perforate
the month and day of the month,
and shall write the name of pur
chaser, the date of sale and sign the
firms name by someone in authority
upon the card before the card is
given to the purchaser. This card,
properly attached to the vehicle, is
good for ten days, but during the
ten days the purchaser must carry
his bill of sale, showing his owner
ship. Uuon the sale of an auto or truck,
the dealer is required to immediate
ly, notify the county treasurer giv
ing the name of the party to whom
the vehicle was sold and the date
of the sale.
The law specifically forbids the
dealer using the pasteboard num
ber for any other purpose or issu
ing a second pair of numbers to the
same person for the same vehicle,
and provides a penalty of $50 to
$100 for first offense of the mis-use
of pasteboard numbers and not less
than $100 for second offense and
revocation of the dealers license.
This law is being abused by some
of the automobile dealers of the
state. Ways of abuse are, failing to
immediately notify the county trea
surer of the sale; post dating the
bill of sale and issuing a second
pair of numbers in order to make
the ten days reach into a cheaper
classification of registration; using
pasteboard numbers on demonstra
tion cars.
Some dealers 1 allow their sales
men to use pasteboard numbers on
their service cars. This is specifi
cally forbidden by the law.
SOCIAL CIRCLE MEETS
The Social Circle extension club
met with Mrs. Sudduth Tuesday Jan-
22 for an all day meeting. Each took
a covered dish to help with the noon-
dav meal.
The lesson was under the direc
tion of the able project leaders Mrs.
Vernon and Miss Moore. The dif
ferent subjects brought to the class
by these leaders were: What is Opti
mal Health? "The Height. Weight.
Standard a measure of nutrition."
The Child. A Grcwfug Proposition,
Signs of Malnutrition Diet for over
and under weights. Details for
Measuring and weighting. All in all
you might say. Each day there is
greater joy on living if one has abun
dant health.
It w-as one of the best of the ex
tension lessons.
The meeting was then given to the
president Mrs. Jennie Klimn.. The
club was urged by the County Agents
to do there part in 4H work and they
pledged themselves to do their best
in furthering this great community
work.
They also expressed their apprecia
tion of the bill introduced in the
senate by Krugger, favoring county
library work. It was also voted to
give a pie and coffee social at Lewis
ton church Feb. 12 in the evening
Mrs. Hanni is chairman of the com
mittee on arrangements.
The next meeting will be with Mrs.
Sterling Farris at which time Miss
Baldwin will be the guest of honor
and she will also talk on the urging
of 4H clubs.
Mrs. Elmer Yardley was assistant
hostesses.

As an outcome of the interest
shown by the great number of fans
present at the free boxing exhibition ;
given by the Eagles on Tuesday even- ;
ing. last, the local aerie at its regu-!
lar meeting Thursday evening, took .
definite action towards arranging for
a series of decision bouts to be held
in the immediate future.
In order to hold bouts at which a
decision may be given, and bring
into Plattsmouth professional boxers ;
of real merit, it is necessary that a i
license be secured from the state box-
ing commission, and such a license Is
being applied for at the present time.
If granted. Plattsmouth is assured of
many exponents of this interesting
sport just as long as the attendance
warrants the considerable amount of
effort necessarily put forth to secure
professional matches and the first
one will take place in the very near .
future. J
So. you fans be on the job. This
entertainment will be for you, and
the interest you display will govern
the extent of the bouts. With the
hew route of travel coming in from
the east in the near future, this event
becomes the first feature of an en
deavor of the Plattsmouth aerie.
Fraternal Order of Eagles, to boost
the home city, and make it a more

LOSE A HARD GAME
From Satunlav's Liall
The basketball fans that attended
the game at the high school gym last
evening between the Jewish Com-
Plattsmouth All Stars, had a real
treat afforded them in an exhibition
of the popular mid-winter sport.
The game was hard fought thru-
jout and was looking rosy for a Platts
mouth victory when in the last mo
ments of the game the Jewish boys
hurled an offensive that the Platts
mouth subs that had been sent into
the game could not stem and in a
few seconds the visitors tied and
then took the lead as the final whis
tle sounded, leaving the score 26 to
24 for the Jewish Community Cen
ter. The visitors had a splendid work
