Dahlman. mayor of Oma ha with but two years interlude feiuce 1906. was called ly death Tuesday night at 11:45 at the Elms hotel at Excelsior Springs. Mo., where he has been lor the past ten days taking t'estment at the springs. The distin.naished Nebraskan was stricken Monday and gra.luilly sank until he peacefully passed away last night. Mayor Dahlman has been active in the political life of Nebraska for more than forty years, having been elected sheriff of Dawes county in the eighties and on coming to Omaha was immediately in the ranks of the democratic leaders of the state serv ing as national committeeman lor many years. With the campaign of 1906 in Omaha when he defeated K. A. Ben I'oii for mayor and gave the demo crats their fust executive since early in the nineties, Mr. Dahlman has been the political leader of his party in the state metropolis. His only de feat for mayor was in 191S when K. A. Smith was elected to the office. Mayor Dahlman ascribing his defeat to the fact that so many of his younger supporters were in service. For more than 30 hours prior to death he had been unconscious fol- Thoicaj Walling Company Abstracts of Title Phone 324 Plattsi.K-urb lowing a stroke of apoplexy suffered early Monday morning. Mrs. Dahlman, who was at the bedside when the end came, is bear ing up well, it was reported by Dr. E. ('. Robichaux, the physician who had been attending the mayor. A daughter. Miss Dorothy Dahlman, was notified at Omaha. For mete than 30 years Mr. Dahl man Lad been a lighting figure in Omaha and Nebraska politics, and it was while he was girding himself for. still another battle that death came. Just 10 days ago he filed for re nomination, ar.d the following day he left with Mrs. Dahlman for Exculsior Springs, where he had been wont to recuperate from strenuous days in other campaigns and where now he had hoped to rest and prepare him self for the new fight. Had Contracted Cold. The mayor contracted a severe cold while attending ceremonies in con nection with the laying of the corner stone for the new county hospital in October. He never fully recovered from that. Recently, too, the press of official dutie.3 had been heavy. So when he decided to take a brief rest before entering again the lists where for so many years he had met and conquered the stoutest foes, none who knew him suspected that he would return not bearing his shield, but on it. Nor did he suspect it. But t?r mayor was 73. His heart was weary. In the night the stroke came, and 4G hours later ho slept his last. Mayor Dahlman himself at first made light of his final illness. The stroke appeared light, and he was not made unconscious. He insisted that his friends in Omaha be not told of his illness, as he felt sure he would recover rapidly. He wish ed they should not be alarmed about him.

"The Singing Pool," Al Jolson's newest lin production, is a triumph of up-to-the-minute motion picture art. In the rst place the Ieslie S. Rap rows story is written out oi a tleep familiarity with the life of the stage and of New York night clubs and what is greater, an understanding of those qualities which make all hu manity akin. Then, too, Ryron Ilas kin has produced a marvel of photo graphy, the glamor of the scenes of revelry being created with certainty and real magic. As for Jolson, ho is revealed as an actor of unquestionable sincerity and amazing power of emotional ex pression. In many of his scenes his sorrows are tragic in their intensity, and exercise an unusual effect on the feelings of the audience. This is the more remarkable when one considers that Jolson has always been looked upon as a comedian, though to the more discerning there has invariably been the touch of pathos which made it evident that he would be able at some time to interpret the tragedies of life as well as the lighter moods. This Warner Brothers Vitaphone prcdultion will be at the Rarmele theatre for our days. Wednesdayy, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. f Dr. Joe J.

J .J X-RAY and LABORATORY New Cold Record for Winter with 25 Below Zero Coldest Day in Seven Lears Recorded at Burlington Jan. 5, 1921 With 27 Degrees Record TO THE PUBLIC Reasons why you should use butter instead of substitutes Butter prices are now the lowest in ten years and with a surplus of 40,000,000 pounds in storage this is certainly an opportunity for every user of Oleomargarine to treat him self and family to a pound of real butter, a food so rich in vitamines that are essential in promoting growth in children and preserving health in grown-ups Nebraska ranks fourth in butter production, yet 15,000,000 pounds! less of butter was consumed in 1929 than in 1928 We should become alarmed at a situation that is directly hurting a $30,000,000 dollar yearly industry In Nebraska Consumption cf Oleomargarine climbed from 2CO.000.000 pounds in 1927 to 350,000.000 pounds in 1929 in the United States If these substitutes for butter were as good a food product as butter no fault could be found with this great consumption of substitutes, but by using them we lay ourselves and our families open to so-called NUTRI TION DEFICIENCY and at the same time injure our own dairy industry by consuming products made from imported fats and packing house by products instead of the products of our own Nebraska farms. Today our dairymen are getting less for butter fat than they have been receiving for the past twenty years. Today the farmer and dairyman is getting only 26 cents per pound for butter fat, a year ago it was bringing exactly double this price or 52 cents per pound and this in spite of a 2, 000,000 pound decrease of produc tion in 1929 under 192S. In responding to this appeal to use butter instead of these inferior sub stitutes you are truly increasing the nutritional value of your diet, attain ing better health, adding to the pur chasing power of the dairy farmer and greatly aiding our own commun ity industry, the Farmers Co-operative Creamery of Plattsmouth. Please think this matter over care fully and then decide to patronize a Home Industry and help the farmers who are "HELPING PLATTSMOUTII SUCCEED." T. II. rOLLOCK. E. II. SPANGLER, W. F. NOLTE. W.

In 1!27, about 6.12 per cent of the gainfully occupied population of this nation worked for some branch of government. Assuming that this percentage is still about private busi ness, it would seem that about one sixteenth of the time of our citizens is required to keep the government payroll going. This would be 23 days per annum. In addition to the payroll, the gov ernment spends vast sums on build ing, warships, schools, roads, the army and navy, hospitals, courts of the law and for supplies of all na tures. It pays out millions annually in pensions and for interest on bonds. In all probability, the payroll Is less than half of government expense. Perhaps Mr. Average Citizen, wheth er he knows it or not, contributes the earnings of well over a month of his working time each year to keep his government going.
