John W. Gamble
Named Agent for

Former Plattsmouth Resident Will
Have Charge of Liquidating
Large Trust Company
From Saturday's Dally

following a conference with Recre
tary Bliss of the state department of
trade and commerce and Attorney
General Sorensen, announced the se
lection of John W. Gamble of Oma
ha at liquidating agent for the
Peters Trust Co., of Omaha, which
was taken over by the state depart
ment a week ago.
The selection of Mr. Gamble is
one that should meet with the ap
proval of all who are interested in
the affairs of the trust company as
Mr. Gamble has had a wide exper
ience in banking and general busi
ness affairs in Omaha for a great
many years since leaving the position
here of superintendent of the city
schools to go into the state metro
polis for a business career. For ;
number of years he has been con
nected with the First National bank
of Omaha and a large number of pri
vate Dusiness enterprises that gives
him a broad business experience.
In the handling of the liquidating
of the strust company, the state will
place Mr. Gamble on a straight sal
ary of $7,500 a year until the affairs
are closed up which is thought more
economical than a receivership where
a percentage would have to be paid
the receiver from the assets of the
company. The legal advice neces
sary will be provided as needed.

The new shoppe is a place of real

the room has been arranged in the
modernistic style of decorative fea

the new shoppe carry this note in
the papering of the rooms as well as
in the black, red and gray blocked

Tile fixtures of the shoppe are
in shades of pink and add to the
general brightness of the interior
decorations.
The shoppe is arranged so that
each operator can have privacy for
her patrons while the hairdres.-in'

and this is a feature that will be
much appreciated, curtained parti

TO VISIT SANTA CLAUS
From Saturday's "faTly
This morning Miss Edith Cook,
teacher at the Wintersteen Hill
school departed for Omaha and tak
ing with her a group of nine little
girls who are students in her room
at the school, the party going to pay
a visit to the various Santa Claus
exhibitions that are being featured
at Omaha. The party was a very en
thusiastic one and the children were
anxiously awaiting the time when
the train would arrive and start
them on their journey.
VISITING RELATIVES HERE
ing.
The first part of the program was
given over to the girls glee club, a
splendid group of thirty voices,
which was heard in two numbers
which were enthusiastically received
by the student body. "Sing We and
Chant It" and an old familiar fav
orite. "Mighty Like a Rose."
"The Musical Surprise," a one act
play depicts a desperate musical di
rector (Ira Mumm) in search of tal
ent with which to win fame and for
tune. An artist of heavy voice and
chest (Geo. Sayles) was the first to
answer the director's ad and he pro
claimed himself a basso profundo and
demonstrated the quality cf his voice
in a most heart rending number. A
couple of sopranos next appeared,
(Margaret Shellenbarger and Mar-
jorie Am.) Margaret sang a number
for the approval of the director, then
her bashful and modest companion
(Mariorie) was persuaded to submit
her voice for approval. To cap the
climax, a swanky, highly sartorial
gentleman appeared, (Chester Lund)
and with his English accent and sky
rocketing voice, proclaimed that ne
was a first tenor. After some very
humorous repartee with the director,
he sings a number while the audience
keeps its attention focused on tne
monacle. Chester proved to be a real
find" as a character player. Jbinauy
to pacify the four tempermental art- J
ists, the director persuaded them to ;
all sing at the same time, if not to
gether. The artists were accompanien
at the piano by a sleepy pianist,
(Charles Nowacek.)
The student body expresseu us m-
rreciation of the efforts of Miss Lind
say, the glee clubs and the cast with
hearty applause.
