HA? mm ?kJL fir "SEX U V5 Finest Array of Door Prizes Ever Offered Over $300 Worth of Furniture to be Awarded Lucky Ticket Eclders at Trade Exposition. From ThursdaVs DfitlT The finest lot of door prizes ever given away at any entertainment in Nebraska, outside of possibly some of the large Omaha and Lincoln amusement parks, where the ability to reap unlimited return in paid ad mi-sions makes the sky the limit, is to be handed out free during: the four rights of the Plattsmouth Mer- har.ts Trade Exposition and Style Show here next week. The dates of the show are April 24th to 27th, in clusive, and upwards of $300 worth of hish grade furniture will be given away as door prizes during1 the four r.iehts. The Legion committee which is looking after the promotion of the show, was at Omaha last night and selected from the wholesale floors the four furniture suites that will be give:: away, and which are being brought down from Omaha today by the McMaken Truck line. The entire window space of the Christ Furniture company is requir ed to properly display this furniture, anil Mr. Christ has kindly consented to the use of his windows, where the living room, dining room, bed room ar:d sun room suites may be seen on display from now until the respec tive niphts when they are hauled away by the lucky winners. The prize for the opening night of the show will be a handsome four piec mahogany bed room suite, that has a retail value of $75 and includes long triple mirror vanity dresser, a bench, chest of drawers and poster type bed. On the second night, the lucky person will receive a six-piece wal nut dining room suite that includes a CO-inch buffet, oblong top table and four upholstered seat chairs. The retail price of this suite is $S5. . On Friday night the de luxe prize is to be awarded a $115 upholster ed living room suite in newest color velour, double webbing spring con struction, carved walnut frame and reversible cushions, finished in color ed cretonne design on the back. In addition to the davenport and chair, a walnut end table will complete this suite and give someone a gift that they can long be proud of. For the closing night, the commit tee turned to some of the newest and most pcpular furniture on the mar ket a 3-piece cretonne upholstered reed sun room set. The rich color of the woven portion, augmented with the beautiful flowered cretonne up holstering probably will make this one of the most sought after prizes of the entire lot, although its retail value is slightly less than any of the other three. The committee received most cour teous treatment from the wholesale house through which their purchase was conpuniated and in addition to being given a real jobbers' price, was presented with a beautiful upholster ed rocker, as the firm's contribution to the success of the trade show. L'-gijn members will begin work tomorrow nisiit erecting the booths and getting the hall in shape for the opening night of the show on next Wednesday. The 27 merchants who will have booths at the show will be triven possession of their booths by Monday morning, so that they may arrange for decorating them and get ting their displays lined up before the opening date. The wholesalers are responding in fine shape to the appeal for donations to assist in taking care of the expense of the show, which is borne by the Legion, except for a $2 lumber rental fee charged each merchant having a booth. The expensive door prizes will make necessary the taking in of a good many hundred dimes at the door to cover their cost, but the Le gion has had extensive experience in carnival promotion in years past and always found that on the nights big door prizes were awarded the crowd was doubled and tripled over the ordinary nights. As the show runs hut four nights, tie awarding of these four big door prizes means the greatest distribution ever attempted in this part of the state, beside which the usual $10 to $15 merchandise awards pale into in significance. The prize furniture will all be on display at the Christ Furniture com pany's store, where the public is in vited to view the showing and see for themselves the magnitude of the different night's offerings.

East - Central Declamatory Contest Held Fine Contest and Excellent Work by all Contestants Clelland Retelsdorf Winner From Friday's Pany The east-central Nebraska decla matory contest was held last night at the high school auditorium and afforded the opportunity for all who attended of hearing a fine program of selections in the various classes of the art of public speaking and dramatic art. The schools represented in the contest were Plattsmouth, Central of Omaha. Fremont. David City. Falls City, Blair, Polk, Rosalie, Osceola, Auburn and Dodge. The program was presided over by R. Foster Patterson, head of the history department of the local schools and assistant principal, and the various contests were judged by Miss Enid Miller of the department of speech of the Wesleyan univer sity at Lincoln. The evening program was opened by the selections "What the Chim ney Sang" and "Echo Song," by the Girls glee club of the Plattsmouth high school and which was a very delightful feature. The glee club was presented under the direction of Miss Ruth Lindsay, music super Visor and the members of the club were: Lucile Albert, Beatrice and Majorie Am, Virginia Galloway, Madge Garnett, Elizabeth Hatt, Jean Hayes, Dorothy Gradoville, Laura Grassman, Leona Hudson, Doris Ki ger, Anna Kniecke, Teresa Libershal, Helen Price. Constance Rea. Winifred Rainey, Margaret Shallenbarger, Helen Schultz. Mildred Schultz, Eleanor Swatek, Mary Swatek. Cath erine Terryberry, Mary Ellen Byers, Vivian Livingston, Catherine Mc Clusky, Germaine Mason, Margaret Nelson, Doris Peterson. The first class of the contest was that of extemporaneous speaking in which the contestants were assigned their subjects a half hour prior to the contest and in which all made a very fine presentation of the subject matter. In this class the contestants were Phyllis Bader of Fremont, with the subject, "The Battle of the Oil Giants," Lowell Harris, Central of Omaha, with "The Locarno Confer ence" and Clelland Retelsdorf of the Plattsmouth schools, who had as a subject, "Anglo-American Naval Per ils." The work of Mr. Retelsdorf in this class was outstanding and easily pointed to his first place selection in this class while the judge's de cision for second place fell to Miss i Bader. The oratorical class gave four very fine numbers and in which Chris Bulin of the local schools pre sented "Least We Forget," a very stirring oratorical presentation. The ! award of the judge was to Fack Far ris of Fremont for first place on "The Heritage of Life" and second honors to Keith Wilson of Central high of Omaha, on "Lincoln and the Consti tution." The other entry in this class was John Dean Zeilinger of David City. In the dramatic class the contest gave several very fine numbers and well presented and in which judg ment was hard to determine, but in this class the first honors were given to Milton Owens of Fremont in "The White Hands of Telham" and second place to Delores Deadman of Falls City in "Lilac Time." The selection. "The Bishop's Candlesticks" given by Boyd Hopewell of Blair also showed a great deal of dramatic art and skill. The humorous class afforded some very clever numbers and in which the audience were most thoroughly en tertained while each of the con testants were presenting their off erings. In this class Kenneth John son of Osceola was given first place with "It's Like This" and Miss Ro berta Brink of Rosalie second in "The Football Fan." The two other contestants in this class were Miss Aurora Rapp of Auburn in "When Morning Breaks" and Miss Marcella Suchan of Dodge in "Mrs. Solomon Schnikelfritz," both well presented numbers. WThile the decision of the judge of the" contest was being awaited, two very charming whistling num bers were given by Miss Alice Louise Wescott. "The Glow Worm" and Bartlett's beautiful ballad, "A Dream," the accompaniment being played by E. H. Wescott. The entries in this contest were all sub-district winners and gave one of the best contests that has been held in this half of the state in a great many years and it is to be regretted that an even larger audi ence was not present to enjoy the event. CARD OF THANKS We wish to express our gratitude for the many acts of kindness shown us at the time of our deep sorrow, to the comforting words of the min ister and to the quartet and the or ganist for the music they rendered at the funeral services. Also our dear friends and neighbors who were so kind and thoughtful in every way in our hour of sadness. Herbert Schliefert and Sons. GARDENING AT APARTMENT The residents of unit No. 1 of the Herold apartments are looking for ward to a great vegetable season this year and while they are not like the dwellers in the preat open spates, they are to have right at the rear of the apartment" a garden which it is hoped will flurish and thrive as the green bay tree and raise many loads of the lucious radish, lettuce, beans, peas, and other of the won ders of the vegetable kingdom. One of the residents at this attractive apartment reports- that a few nights" ago a neighbor arrived at the apart ment loaded with shovels, rakes, hoes, walking cultivators and other implements that are used in the till ing of the soil and in a few moments the earth was being stirred as it has not been done for many moons and at the close of the strenuous few moments of exercise that has golf all faded for real physical development, there was the garden all ready to seed. The first sprouting of the gar den is being awaited with interest. Oil Station Burglars Given Stiff Sentence Albert Sala Draws Three Years in Pen and Charles Wilder to the Reform School From Friday's Daily This morning in the district court was staged the second chapter in the case of the burglars who on Mon day had robbed the Ofe Oil station in this city. The parties entered a plea of guilty to the charge of breaking and entering preferred against them and after hearing their story Judge Beg ley, under the pifocess of the law gave them the sentences for their offenses. Albert Sala was given a term of three years in the state peni tentiary at Lincoln while his com panion in the crime, Charles Wilder. was ordered to the state industrial school at Kearney until he was twenty-one years-vf age, a period of some three years. This disposes of one of the few- burglary cases that have occurred in this locality and reflects a great deal of credit upon the officers whom were able to secure the capture of the men within a few hours of the time that they had committed the crime and will have a very pleasing effect in checking any further depredations of this kind in this community. The two men who were captured here Tuesday night near the Mis souri Pacific station by Deputy Sher iff Young and Constable Tom Svo boda. have been involved in a num ber of crimes over the country and while they are young in years have had a great experience in the crim inal line. The confessions of the two young men told of a number of car stealings and other crimes in which they had had a hand. Cass County School Locates Barberry Bush Discovery Made on John TJrwin Farm Near Louisville by Glendale School Pupils. The state, which is making all ef forts to eradicate the common Bar berry bush in this state, which is the cause of the spread of black rust in the wheat, has located a specimen of this menace in this coun ty. The discovery of the Barberry bush was made by pupils of the Glendale school of which Miss Elizabeth Tritsch is the teacher, and was lo cated on the John Urwin farm near the vicinity of Louisville. This is the first school in the state that has returned a report of the discovery of the rust producing shrub and the state agricultural college is arranging to make the destruction of the shrub a very notable occasion and at which there will be present a number of the department heads of the university as well as students of the agricultural college and in which a discussion of the dangers of this shrub will be given.

Select Secre tary of Chamber of Commerce George K. Petring; Named for Posi . tion Made Vacant by Resigna tion of E. A. Fricke ?rom Friday's Dailv Yesterday at the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce directors, he'd at the Barclay c-at'e, the selec tion of George K. Petring, well konwn auto dealer and Ford rcore sentntive. to be secretary of the Chamber of Commerce was announc ed by President Wescott and the nomination unanimously accepted and the new secretary inducted into office. Mr. Petring, who is one of the leading young business men of the community is very well suited for the position and it was a great deal of satisfaction to all interested in thei civic work to know that he wouid take up this very exacting of fice and assist in the year's program. Mr. Petring succeeds Edwin A. Fricke, who recently resigned to enter the banking business at Ash land. The meeting was somewhat in the nature of a general discussion of affairs of the city and many .sug gestions were made as to the flush ing of the main business streets, the markins of the streets for the pur pose of city mail delivery exten sion. The session was enlivened by the discussion of the renaming of the east and west streets, these streets having from the foundation of the city having been designated on the north of Main street by the names of various woods while on the south side the names of stones have been used. The suggestion of designating the streets by letter designations and avenues was talked over with senti ment divided on the proposition but with the older dwellers in the city standing by the old names that have grown familiar through the years. However, the marking of the streets for mail delivery has nothing to do with the changing of the names as the postal department merely asks that the streets be marked. "An alley parade" was discussed. and in which it was urged that civic organizations join in the move to have a parade made along the alleys and to view how the back yards of the business section appears to the eye and compared with the outer showing of the fronts. This matter will be taken up farther and will probably materalize into action. PUPILS GIVE RECITAL From Friday's Dally Last evening the home of Mrs. Kittie Roberts on high school hill was the scene of a very delightful musicale, the occasion being the re cital of the piano pupils of Mrs. Rob erts. There were a large number of the relatives and friends of the young people in attendance to enjoy the recital. The program was one that reflected the greatest credit upon the talented young people of the class and on the skillful training that they had received at the hands of the teacher.

Wordeman of Leigh, Nebraska, will regret very much to learn that this lady, formerly a resi dent of near Murray, is at the Meth odist hospital at Omaha where she was taken from her home Wednes day night. The case is one that will require treatment and not of a dan gerous nature however, and it is hoped that the patient will soon be in condition to return home. Mr. and Mrs. George Nickles of Murray and Miss Etta Nickles and Lee Nick les pf this city were at Omaha last evening to visit their sister for a short time.

HOLD A FINE DANCE From Thursday s Dally Last evening the dance lovers of this city together with a large group from Omaha, Nebraska City and the nearby towns, had a real treat at the Legion building when Holland's Melody Boys were here to entertain the crowd and were just plenty hot and sweet in their work. The Legion had booked the Tracy Brown orchestra for the dance and the committee was not notified of the fact that this orchestra was not to be here until 5 o'clock and then a substitute was found to be neces sary. The securing of the fast and snappy colored orchestra was most fortunate and it was the general opinion that the colored boys were the best heard here in a long time. John W.

Pitzer. well known Nebraska City business man and one of the outstanding public men in that sectoin. The third of of the members is F. M. Anderson of Cozard, a nationally known business man.

Mr. Gamble has since leaving his school work here been interested in banking and manufacturing business at Omaha and has been a frequent visitor here at the Herman L. Thomas home, Mrs. Thomas being a daughter of Mrs. Gamble. DISTRICT COURT GRINDING From Thursday's Dally The hearing of the case of Andy Francis vs. William T. Sacks con tinues to keep the time of the dis trict court busy and the case will cover two full days, as the testimony was not all completed at the noon hour. The trial of the case has taken a long time as the examination of the witnesses is made slow by the many objections offered by the plain tiff in the examination of the de fense witnesses. The plaintiff restpd yesterday af ternoon and since that time the de fense has been conducting the exam ination of their witnesses. The de fendant, William T. Sacks was on trie stand for some time this morning to give his side of the case in which he is being sued for the alleged steal ing of the affections of the wife of the plaintiff. The efforts of the defense to show conditions in the Francis household j and family understandings and man- , agement prior to the time alleged in j the suit brought by Mr. Francis, were j largely checked by the plaintiff attorneys and the testimony not al- ' lowed to stray from the issues in the case. i UNDERGOES AN OPERATION From Saturday's Dairy Miss Catherine Terryberry, daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs, L. F. Terryberry and local high school student, was taken to Omaha yesterday as the result of an attack of appendicitis and which was so severe as to make an operation necessary.

At the last reports the patient was resting as easily as possible under the cir cumstances and it is hoped will be able within the next few days to show decided improvement.
