SAFE INVESTMENTS
It is often as hard to keep money
safely as it is to get it in the first
place. The best rule for an investor
is to consult those responsible people
who make a business of studying the
matter. Go to your bank or to some
long established reputable invest
ment house and follow their advice.

I A Note from the Civic Committee of
Plattsmouth Woman's Club
Petunia Official Flower
A walk to the highest point of the
"Seven Hills of Plattsmouth" on the
ISth of February. Your effort would
have been well compensated thru the
viewing of one of the most beautiful
scenes nature has to offer. Every
bush and hemlock, every vestage of
landscape stretching forth as far as
the eye could see was covered with
a heavy coat of ermine too rich for
an Earl. At one time there was not
a cloud in the sky. The scene re
sembled an inverted blue bowl, and
as the eye was beginning to tire of
the sameness, out of the eastern rim
of the bowl came rays of a golden
glow, which rapidly grew longer and
brighter until in the center a round
.golden ball appeared the rising of
the sun. With such a background,
I this scene only occurs once or twice
a season.
The muffled sound of a bell is
heard, as though it, too. had to
shake off a coat of ermine before it
could peel forth with ringing sound,
and then the honk of an auto jars
upon the sensibilities of one's ears
and you realize that another day's
traffic "has begun.
If the man from Mars had appear
ed upon this scene, he would have
doubtless said, "Those earth beings
can't stand too much beauty. See
them there stirring and shoveling
making paths hither and yon; see
the tall chimneys and long trains
belching smoke and scattering black
cinders over all.
Then the sun. because it is the
greatest friend of earth, told the man
from Mars he simply did not under
stand the great march of life these
earth beings are working out, and
as evidence of its loyalty the sun
shone brightly all day and melted the
coat of ermine, sending it down thru
the ground. This will continue for
many days, until the landscape is
gray'and brown bleak from winter's
ravages getting ready for the trans
formation. What will we do to help the
"Seven Hills of Plattsmouth" regain
beauty a tenth part as wonderful as
the picture we helped to destroy?
Last fall millions of seeds fell from
the countless thousands of flowers
-some falling where we want them
to be, and others falling or being
blown into out of the way places.
They must be replanted, nurtured,
protected if they are not to be crowd
ed out by more hardy forms of
plant life. They will first raise two
tiny green arms as though imploring
for help. They will hold their own
with the weeds until they are about
three inches high. Let us search
out the places the hard winter has
made brown, then transform them
into colorful spots of beauty with
these plants.
The Woman's club voted to make
the Petunia the official flower of the
city. Let us study this beautiful
flower; we know it is of many col
ors from almost black to varigated
and even white; that it blooms early
and until heavy frost. Let every
yard and garden give room to the
city's flower.
This does not mean to exclude the
other beautiful flowers from your
lawn beautification. There was, in
fact, but a small margin of votes for
this over other flowers, so study your
yard and know the height of your
plants so as to place them where
their beauty will be seen to great
est advantage.
"To save a plant is akin to giving
a human being a chance in life."

Lincoln, March 9. St. Paul high I
school retained the Class A Nebraska
state basketball championship by
nosing out the Hastings high Tigers.
25 to 22, in an extra 3-mihute period
here Saturday night, after the score
had been tied 19-all at the end of
the regular playing period.
It was by a mighty rally with one
minute to play that the undefeated
St. Paul crew came from behind to
tie up the count. Hastings was lead
ing. 19 to 15, whu.-i the champs
opened' the "throttle" wide. Two
baskets by Lunch, center, and Swal
law, evened the score just before
the final gun.
The under-goal tip-in by Lynch
started St. Paul off on the road to
victory in the extra period of play.
Krocklow, Tiger forward, dropped in
a gift toss to make the score 21 to
20. He missed another free shot.
Martin. St. Paul forward, then
brought the howling fans to their
feet by dribbling three-fourths the
length of the floor to give the winners
a 3-point lead on a set-up goal. Not
to be outdone. Tiger forward, dupli
cated the performance of his rival.
With only seconds to go, Martin
became the idol of the St. Paul fans
when he arched in a long shot from
the center of the floor to clinch the
victory for the Apostles.
The first half was all St. Paul.
The Tigers went ahead for the first
time in the third quarter which end
ed. 12 to 11, in their favor. From
then on the lead see-sawed back
and forth until the last four minutes
of the regular time.
By copping the Class A crown for
the second time, St. Paul closed a
season of all victories. The champs
came from behind in three out of
their four tournament games to win
in the last four minutes of play.
Omaha Bee-News.
GETS $5,000 VERDICT
A verdict for $5000 was awarded
by a jury in Judge Charles Foster's
court in district court at Omaha last
week as damages for personal injuries
sustained by James J. Blah?. 4J15
South 19th street, former railroad
employee. He had sued for $50,000
for a skull fracture incurred while
working for the C. N. W. railroad
company at the South Omal.a round
house. The accident occured on
March 14, 1927.
Following the accident Mr. Blaha
was confined to his home for four
weeks without showing any improve
ment, when an X-ray was taken
which disclosed the fact that his skull
had been fractured. He was taken
to a local hospital and remained there
for two months following an oper
ation. It is not known whether or not
the company will appeal from the de
cision. Mr. Blaha was a resident of Plats
mouth for a number of years and
while here was an employe of the
Burlington in the local shops and left
here in 1923 to make his home in
Omaha and entered railroad work
there for the Northwestern railroad
