1929 License
Demanded Now
on All Cars
Old 1928 Licenses Plates Clear Out
of Style and Officers Are Susy
on Checking Drivers
Prom Friday's Daily
The drivers or autos and trucks
that are operating under the 1928
license number plates are flirting
now with the majesty of the law and
the continuance of the practice is
apt to lead the offender to the bar
of justice where a penalty will be
demanded for the failure to heed the
state law that provides that each
year on the first da.v..of January all
motor vehicles shall'be marked -with
a license plate and certificate that
the owner of the car has the right
to operate the car for the current
year.
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.
So far it has not been necessary
to add the extra penalty of the fine
and costs to the price of a license
but those who continue to violate
this part of the state law are flirting
with the penalty clause of the state.

From Saturday's I5aily
The death of Morris D. Pollard,
prominent resident of Nehawka, oc
curred yesterday afternoon at the St.
Mary's hospital at Nebraska City
where he has been a patient for some
time.
The passing of this highly esteem
ed gentleman takes from the com
munity of Nehawka a figure well
known and highly respected among a
large circle of friends and where for
many years he was identified with
the active business life of that com
munity. Born in Windsor, Ont., September
14,1850, he came to Nebraska more
than half a century ago settling in
Cass county. Failing health caused
him to retire from business a few
years ago. He was a member of the
Masonic and Modern Woodmen of

George Harlow, Miss C. Genivera

Springfield, Mass.
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.

and Eusy With Orders.
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.
