The custom has been followed m many of the counties of the state of giving a month of grace to the owners of cars, trucks and motor cycles to secure the needed license and the clamping down of the law has been held up until after the first of February. There are still many cars operating that have no 1921 license plates and these are now being checked up by the county officials as well as the police woh are co-operating in hie matter and the owners are being in vited to get busy and see that the old bus is properly decorated with the tasteful and attractive plates that the state of Nebraska Is Issuing to all who pay their license fee.

ESCAPES HOLDUP From Thursday's Dally The night force 'at the Royal c afe received a good fright last night when the eating house was threatened by what seems to have been a stickup man but who was either attempting a joke or lost his nerve. The event following the general leaving of a great many of the Omaha underworld causes the belief that it wsa perhaps one of the gentry fleeing from the metropolis that stopped here. A robbery here and the f.JiJU robbery at the Thygeson store at Nebraska Ciry yesterday nad caused some worry among local peo ple and then came the visit at the Royal. The man who is described as snort and very heavy set, came to the back door of the building which opens into the kitchen and he opened the door and came in and called the young ladv waitress to come out Into the kitchen, but she wisely refused and started the alarm and tne man then disappeared. The man was described as wear ing a black mask and it was nrst thought that might be some friend from the masquerade having some fun but later consideration or tne matter caused the force to have sev- vrai anxious monisms. i' Tho nnVioP were notified of thelness. They come every years tor more incident but a search of the business section failed to reveal any suspic ious strangers.

From Saturday's Daily The Cass county owned and oper ated creamery in this city, opened in December is making such progress as to surpass the hopes of the most ( optimistic booster of the proposition and its products are becoming known over this section among the dealers in butter as well as the ultimate con sumer. The butter, which is made tinder the guiding hand and supervision of Phillip Hoffman, buttermaker and manager, well justifies the slogan of the creamery company, "melts in the mouth." The demand locally is very strong for the butter and takes a large part of the product of the plant at this time and forming tho I basis of many a toothsome meal with the Cas-Co butter. The creamery company has had a number of offers from large concerns in Omaha and eastern cities to han dle the surplus of their plant and will have no trouble in getting the products of the creamery on the mar ket and with the increasing supply of cream that is being received, the company should be able to increase the output with longer churning periods and making three yr four churnings each day as the plant con tinues to expand. The stockholders of the comDany represent some of the most efficient and capable farmers of the Mate and their officers and directors are se lected to give the very best adminis tration of the affairs of the creamery and will make it one of the most successful in this section of the west.
