Auto Damage
Suit Tried
in
County Court
Action of Clarence Nesson vs. Wil
lard Beezley Heard Wednesday
Under Advisement
From Thursday's Hallv
The trial of the case of Clarence
Nesson vs. Willard Beezley. a cross
fire auto damage suit in which boh
the plaintiff and the defendant are
claiming: damages of the other, vas
staged in the county, court yester
day and occupied the entire dav in
its hearing-.
The question of liability for the
auto smashup, which occurred just
west of this city on the intersection
of the detour of highway 75 and the
Louisville road, was much confused
in the testimony as the evidence was
very conflicting on the part of the
several parties.
The accident occurred on the night
of October 7th when Mr. Nesson was
rjnnging a man from Louisville to
this city to catch a train while Mr.
Mr. Beezley and a companion were
returning from Omaha. The cars
crashed at the intersection of the
two roadways. Mr. Nesson contend
ing that the car of Mr. Beezley was
traveling at an excessive rate of
speed through the intersection and
struck the car of the plaintiff, while
Mr. Beezley in denying the charges
claimed that the Nesson car failed
to stop at the stop sign at the west
of the intersection on the Louisville
road and drove right on through the
intersection and smashed into the,
car of Mr. Beezley.
The case proved the only live spot
of a dull day at the court house and
the idlers that visited the court house
found recreation in listening to the
evidence in the case.
After the arguments by the attor
neys made in the late afternoon the
case was taken under advisement by
Judge Duxbury for three days while
he meditates on the evidence that
was offered and arguments sub
mitted. SOCIAL CHI CLE CLUB

NEW RESIDENTS HERE
From Thursday s rally
u.uu iiiiB. J. v. varncp nn
daughter, Margaret, of Omaha, are
suuu lo Become residents of this city
Mr. Varner being here as the man
ager of the Hinky Dinky store which
opened yesterday. The Varner fam
ny nave resided in Omaha for a num
ut?r oi years where Mr. Varner has
been engaged with the Hinky Dinky
stores and had the task of breaking
in a large number of store managers
but he is now desirious of securing
a permanent location and accordingly
was assigned to the Plattsmouth
store ana will make this city the
family home in the future. This fam
ny win receive a cordial welcome
from the Plattsmouth people and it is
safe to say that the family will find
their anticipations of the city real
lzeu as an ideal home location.
Road Situation
is Causing Much
Complaint Here
Lack of Facilities to Get in and Out
of City Causes Much Un
rest Generally.
The road situation in this locality
is very far from satisfactory and
the many complaints that are made
each day from the residents of this
territory are more than justified by
the condition that exists and while
the matter is not wholly the fault
of those looking after the roads it
would seem that some relief should
be given.
The elements have played havoc
with the road building plans, includ
ing the paving work on highway No.
75. which has caused much of the
difficulty in getting into the city
from the south and it would seem
that there can be but little chance of
the paving now being completed this
winter and forcing the holding over
of the plan3 for the spring.
In advance of the pavers the roads
have been torn up and culverts and
other drainage necessary placed and
now these roads are impassible and
the paving facing the closing down
and with mud and rough roads
staring the residents of this section
in the face for the winter season.
To give some relief there has been
several suggestions offered that
might aid the residents of this local
ity in getting in and out of the city,
these being to open the road from
where the paving has stopped and
place it in shape for travel a3 far as
possible and then have the routes
into the city along Lincoln avenue
or the present highway given a coat
ing of gravel that would make travel
possible during the winter season.
To those residing along No. 75 or
east, the matter of reaching the de
tour several miles west is one of the
greatest difficulty and for their re
lief a more direct line of travel is
needed that would make it possible
to travel with more comfort.
It is hoped to get some solution of
the matter In the next week when
the state engineer arrives back at
Lincoln, as the state department is
no doubt trying to do its best to give
the residents of all localities where
road work is in progress, proper
means of travel while construction
work is under way while the work of
construction is carried out by the
contractors and not the state and but
for the bad weather that has reigned
for the greater part of the past thirty
days the work would be practically
completed as far as the summer pro
gram called for. However the people
must have a means of travel and the
matter should have some consider
ation at once of seeing that ade
quate roadways are provided for the
residents in the now practically
isolated sections.

Plattsmouth
Creamery One
of Very Best
Amply Equipped and Doing a Fne
Business in Less Than o Year
of Its Experience
The Farmers Co-Operative Cream
ery in this city is one of the best
in the state in every way and this
is shown by the following interest
ing story of the plant given by the
field man of the Journal-Stockman
of Omaha, who was here a few days
ago to look over the plant and its
workings:
A few months ago Plattsmouth
ieo., noosxers ueaicateu a ratner im
portant business institution, the
Farmers Co-operative Creamery.
Hundreds of farmers and business
men of Cass county and surrounding
counties were present to take part
In the dedication ceremonies. Men
were present from the Nebraska Col
lege of Agriculture. The new insti
tution seemed to be receiving the
good will of every one. That was
several months ago. The other day
the farm editor of the Stockman
Journal stopped into the Creamery
to find out how things are going
Looking Over the Plant.
We had the pleasure of talking
things over with Phil Hoffmann,
manager of the Creamery, and butter
maker. We looked over the mach
inery, sampled some of the butter
milk, had a chance later to sample
the cottage cheese and the butter.
Previous to that we had a talk with
our long time friend. . F. Nolte.
president of the Creamery, who is
farming near Mynard.
We found that everything was
looking up as regards this Creamery.
The building itself is 26 by 60 feet,
constructed of hollow tile, and hard
brick veneer. Since the dedication
of the Creamery a new addition 16
by -32 feet has been built for the
handling of poultry and eggs. In
the Creamery are two pasteurizing
ats, one of 400 gallons, and the
other of 300 gallons capacity. The
churn has a capacity of 1.000 pounds
of butter. There is an Jce machine
of four and one-half tons capacity,
and a 15 horse power boiler.
Cas-Co Butter.
Considerable time was spent in
trying to find a name for the butter
put out by this Creamery. The name
Cas- Co was at last decided upon.
You will note that this name is a
combination of Cass and county. On
the letter head of this Creamery are
the words Cas-Co Butter. It Melts
in Your Mouth." Is Cas-Co Butter
popular? That is what we wanted
to find out. and our findings were
favorable. This butter is now being
old in all towns of the county. It
goes quite a ways trom florae tor
there are several hotels in Pennsyl-
ania and New York which are buy-
ng tills butter. A big packing com
pany in Omaha is taking some of the
butter each week.
Mr. Hoffman informed us that
about 350 farmers are supplying but
ter fat and whole milk to this com
pany. Every store and every hotel
n Plattsmouth is handling some of
the milk. A new product was put on
the market about the first of June.
It is Cas-Co Cottage cheese, and we
ave sampled enough of this cheese
to know that it is good from the top
to the bottom of every pound con
tainer. Mr. Hofmann used to make
cottage cheese at the dairy depart
ment of the University of Nebraska,
nd every one knows that the Uni-
ersity cottage cheese is of high
quality. About 1,000 pounds of this
heese is being manufactured each
week, being put up in one pound
and also in 12 ounce containers. The
market at the present time is in the
towns surrounding Plattsmouth, and
also across the border in western
Iowa. Mr. Hofmann figures on doubl
ing the output of cottage cheese in
due time.
Every One a Booster.
We were pleased to hear the state
ment both from Mr. None and Mr.
Hofmann that this new creamery is
being given the hearty support of the
business men of Plattsmouth, of the
farmers in the surrounding country,
and of the directors. The majority
those selling butter fat are within
twelve to fifteen miles of Platts
mouth. A few others ship in butter
fat or drive in from longer distances.
The poultry and egg business is grow
ing, and new customers are coming
in all the time. Plattsmouth is a
heavy consumer of both poultry and
gs so that as yet the product is
handled mainly locally.
It will perhaps be remembered that
the Plattsmouth Chamber of Com
merce bought the first pound of but
ter manufactured by this Creamery,
paying $500 for It. That was a strik
ing evidence of their support. The
officers of the Creamery are: W. F.
Nolte, president; II. F. Nolting, vice
president; H. L. Gayer, secretary.
and E. H. Spangler. treasurer. The
directors are John Hobscheidt, Mur
ray; Nick Friedrich, Murray; A. A.
Wetenkamp, Mynard; H. F. Nolting,
Plattsmouth; E. H. Spangler, My
nard; H. L. Gayer, Plattsmouth, and
W. F. Nolte, Mynard.
The Creamery is making good. It
has found its place in a hustling,
thriving farming community and
well deserves to succeed. As an evi
dence of greater dairy interest In
PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, MONDAY, NOV.
the county some dairy cattle are be
ing brought in from Wisconsin, 51

in the county in September.

Red Cross Ap
peal Should Not
Go Unheeded
Annual Roll Call for Memberships
Makes Possible Service
Time of Distress
in
The American Red Cross all over
the land is sending forth its annual
roll call to recruit for the year the
men, women and children of the
nation in the army of helpfulness,
each dollar that is given for a mem
bership helps to make a reality of
the purpose of the Red Cross the
serving of the peoples of the world
in their greatest need.
In Cass county the appeal is go
ing out to enroll in the ranks of
the Red Cross, each chapter striv
ing to secure as many memberships
as possible as each $1 membership
adds that much more to the funds
available to aid the unfortunates
and victims of great disasters or mis
fortunes. The Red Cross altho a semi-official
arm of the government in dis
asters and war is a popular society
that lives by memberships. With
out members It would have to cease
its activities and its trained Etaff
would no longer be available to the
people of the nation when needed.
Its responsibilities are many and
it has stood among all of the socie
ties of the world as the greatest
boon to mankind as many over the
nation can testify. The funds that
the memberships have made possible
has gone into the flood swept reg
ions of the south, into the cyclone
and tornado visited areas of the na
tion including our own state of Ne
braska. It is first always where the
need is the greatest and all this is
possible because of the dollars that
are given for its memberships.
In Plattsmouth the enrollment may.
be made at the Plattsmouth or the
Farmers State bank if you are not
approached by the canvassers. En
roll in the army of helpfulness today.
Wilber E. Contryman and County
Attorney Ben M. Maupin of Ogallala,

John Svoboda, Sr., Passes His Eigh-
ty-bixth Birthday Anniver
sary on Thursday
From Friday's Daily
Yesterday was the eighty-sixth
birthday anniversary of John Svo
boda. Sr., who is one of the oldest
residents here and who was also one
of the very first members of the Bo
hemian nationality to settle here
and who have been an important
part of our citizenship and assisted
in every way in the development of
the city and the community.
In honor of the birthday of the
aged father the members of the fam
ily circle residing here gathered last
evening at the home of Mrs. Rose

Mr. Svoboda was among the first

coming here in the seventies and at
that time the section of the
city
where the Svoboda home is located
was but a wilderness of brush which
was slowly cleared away to make
homes for the progressive citizens '
that come to make this city their
home. Later other of the members
of the older Bohemian families came
here and settled and have formed a
large part of the population of the
city. Mr. Svoboda was born in Mor-

HOLD CONGREGATIONAL MEET
From Thursday's Dany
Last evening the members of the
congregation of the First Methodist
church held a very interesting meet
ing at the church but owing to the
bad weather conditions that pre
vailed it was impossible for many to
be in attendance at the session and
to hear the discussion of the plans
of the church for the year.
The various department heads and
the different societies for the year
showed a very pleasing condition of
agairs and a real interest in the
church work by all of the member
ship. Many new plans for the com
ing year were discussed relating to ,
the budget of the church and which I
will bring the church finances up to
their proper standard by the spring j
pay day.

'ine Program
Constructive Program for the Year Is
Organized by Miss Tressa
Haley, Instructor.
The Home Economics department
of Plattsmouth high school, under
the able and efficient direction of
Miss Tressa Haley, has outlined a
fine constructive program for the
year's work. This program has been
divided into certain units, each unit
stressing a particular phase of work.
The advanced class has just complet
I ed a unit in foods which consisted
J of canning and preservation of fruits
i and vegetables; jelly making and
pickling. In addition to this the work
was further amplified by a study of
marketing, selection of proper foods,
and the methods of preparation and
serving.
As a climax of this unit's work, the
class was divided into groups of three
or four girls who planned, marketed,
prepared and served a three course
dinner to ten guests. The class as a
whole determined the menu and ser
vice to be used. Each menu consisted
of the following dishes: Cocktail,
meat, two vegetables, salad, hot rolls,
j jelly, dessert and beverage. The vege
tables, relishes and pickles and jellies
were those preserved by the class
early in the fall. Each group selected
a manager who with the other mem
bers assisting, planned the menu,
made out the market order and work
ing plan, all subject to the super
vision of Miss Haley. A host and
hostess were chosen with the other
girls of the group acting as wait
resses. The groups had as their guests at
these dinners, Supt. and Mrs. R. E.
Bailey, Principal and Mrs. R. F. Pat
terson and other members of the
school faculty, and student body.
A project of this kind should prove
to be of great benefit to the students
in their effort to master the culinary
arts as they carried out the entire
program on their own ability.
Miss Haley and her students areto
be commended upon the splendid
work that is being done in this de
partment. This no doubt accounts for
the popularity of the Home Econ
omics department this year and the
fine activity of the Home Economics
club whose president is Beulah
Blodgett.
The following girls had a part in
the project just completed: Group
I: Beulah Blodgett, Mary Ellen Byers,
t
Mildred Carlburg. Garnett Taylor.

Residents of near this citv w-ho
are coming Into Plattsmouth and en
deavoring to return home and who
happen to live in "No Man's Land"
south of this city, are having one
real time in getting through. Yes
terday afternoon while a number of
the people who reside in a very short
distance of the town proper they were
unfortunate enough to have their car3
stuck in the mud or in ditches along
the southern part of Lincoln avenue
which is the only south road that is
available in'to the city. Among those
who found the mud such as to stick
their cars along this detour of the
main highway were Roy Cole, Mrs.
Elbert Wiles, Henry Woster, Ray
mond Cook and Mrs. Ralph M. Wiles.
This morning Charles E. Cook, who
resides Just at the outskirts of the
ity, less than two miles from the
main part of the city, was in to look
after the trading and reports that to
reach the main section he had to
travel eleven miles, going to Mynard
and thence west to the detour on
the west and on Into the city, a
round trip of twenty-two miles or
eighteen miles out of his way.
