P. F. Peterson Baking Co., of Omaha Seeks Injunction to Prevent En forcing Ordinance. The long standing battle between the smaller towns in and near Omaha with the baking companies of Omaha that operate delivery trucks, has spread "to Weeping Water and the P. P. Peterson Co., of Omaha, is seek ing to have the city of Weeping Wa ter restrained from attempting to collect the tax that was recently levied under the provisions of ordi nance No. 138 of the city of Weep ing Water. The petition states that the plain tiff company, the P. F. Peterson Bak ing Co., of Omaha, will resist the payment of the tax of $5 per day, $15 perweekor $50 per year, levied on the non-resident vendors of bread, etc. It is" "alleged that the ordinance is- in violation of the constitution of the United States regarding the pro tection of the property of the citizen from being taken without the process of law. It is also contended that the ordinance is discriminating and illegal in that it provides for a tax on "non-resident vendors of bread. etc." and does not levy a tax on the resident vendors. This is the third case covering the ordinances of cities that the Omaha baking companies are now engaged in fighting, having one with the city of Fremont and which is pending in the supreme court, one with the city of Plattsmouth over a similar ordi nance, which has been pending in the district court for over a year but for some reason has never been tried and now the suit with Weeping Wa ter. The baking companies have paid over to the city of Plattsmouth the tax for the present year under pro test and nave since made demand for the refund of the amount paid but which was refused by the city. GOODBYE PARTY Friday evening while Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Jones were contemplating a farewell attendance at one of the lo cal lodges, they were surprisingly de tained by a company of neighbors and former teacher-associates who happened In to spend the evening before the departure of Mr. and Mrs. Jones for their new home. This has been the home of Mr. Jones from early childhood and with his father's family, he has seen and experienced many of the changes thru which Plattsmouth has passed and has al ways been a loyaL citizen. Mrs. Jones came here as a teacher in the Junior high grades under Sup erintendent Pratt, being called to fill a vacancy -occurring in mid-year 1919-1920. She proved an excellent teacher, especially fitted for that grade of pupils and it was with re gret that teachers and many school patrons saw her retirement last spring. After her marriage to Mr. Jones a few years ago, her interests as a citizen were given to Platts mouth. The friends had hoped they would remain with us thru the com ing years and find some means of adequate income here. Such was their plan until the opportunity for which they were looking opened in another town, so with less than a week's notice, they have packed their household goods and will depart to enter business for themselves at Exeter, Nebraska. Friends and neighbors therefore joined in a social evening to express their sincere friendship. The time was spent in a return to games of more youthful days each one con ducting one game, and it is surpris ing how young we stay in spite of age. While merriment was still run ning high, refreshments were served by the committee in charge. A gift' of remembrance was pre sented to the guests of honor and the evening closed with expressions of regret that we were to lose from our midst such congenial and in terested associates. Best wishes for success and happiness in their new home was extended and a sugges tion that the party be continued In Exeter at some future date before the snow files.

Still others tried to get up sufficient heat ,'hy having electric heaters brought in to warm things up, but which was rather a feeble effort to provide suffi cient heat. Sheriff Reed and Deputy Sheriff Young solved the matter of heat by going to the county fair and leaving the other officers to do their best to keep warm. As the day progressed a Jarger number also were preparing to "go to the fair" for the day.
