McCABL FACES HIS CRITICS Washington Comptroller General McCarl was criticized Friday by Rep resentative Swing of California and Schafer of Wisconsin for rulings by his office reversing compensation awards determined by the veterans' bureau. Appearing at the request of the house expenditures committee at its hearings on the Shreve hill to increase the salaries of the assistant heads of government departments. McCarl immediately was drawn into an interchange with Swing and Schafer, who questioned his right to reverse veterans' bureau awards based on medical records of the ex soldiers involved. Chairman Williamson of the com mittee objected to the line of ques tioning as having no bearing on the salary Increase measure. The Wis consin member took issue with him and the chairman banged his gavel and asserted: "You are not going to run over the chair in this mat ter." McCarl, under questioning by the Californian, explained that his office flid not reverse the decisions of the various departments unless they were "flagrantly wrong." Swing insisted the comptroller gen eral was setting himself up a9 a court of last resort on findings of fact by the departments, but McCarl con tended he was only carrying out the duties of his office and "protecting the right of congress to control gov ernmental expenditures."

One old coverlet made of white homespun had an me- broidered design containing the thir teen stars and an eagle. This cover let was made shortly after the Revo lutionary war. Another coverlet, woven of flax and overshot with wool of brillian colors containined many intricate patterns. Many of these had the date and name of the worker, embroidered or wov en in one corner or ine eovenei. One club reported having an ex hibit of 26 quilts, many of which are old. old relics. Choosing and Making Attractive Curtains As Eddie Guest would say, "It takes a let or curtains to maKe a nouse a home." Hut when the curtains are hung and prove to be just the right length, the rightfulness, the right design and coloring1 for the particular windows, there is satisfaction enough in the result to make worth while all the care that has gone into their making. This month the extension project clubs are studying window furnish ings, which include shades, fixtures glass curtains and draperies. Enter the 1930 Pig Crop Contest If you raise hogs, it is production record for you and other Nebraska hog men. The agricultural college wishes to especially recognize those farmers who can raise an average of 1200 pounds or more of pork from each sow on their farm. Any one can enter that has six or more sows and it costs nothing. If you raise 1200 pounds of pork per sow in six months the extension ser vice of the agricultural college will present you with an official Nebraska Domucent of Recognition. Four men from Cass county. W. F. Nolte. Mvnard: Fred Rehmeier of Weeping Water; and Oren and Hall Pollard of Nehawka were among the winners in the 1929 contest. Never yet in the four years that contest has been conducted has a man produced 1000 pounds or more who has not practiced sanitation and feed balanced rations. That is a fact worth thinking over. Remember your herd must be en tered before the first sow farrows. Entries are already coming in, and the cards can be obtained from the farm bureau office. A Carload of Explosive. There has been considerable de mand for explosive to be used this spring. The Farm Bureau is helping to get a car load to be delivered in early March. Several thousand pounds have been spoken for already. This is a mixed car and any grade of explosive can be had at car lot prices. Most of the orders will be agritol which is guaranteed to be equal to pyrotol. stick for stick, and there are 20 sticks more to a case than there was in the pyratol, the war explosive.. This fact makes the agrytol almost as cheap as the war explosive. Any one interested in as much as fifty pounds may leave their order at the Farm Bureau office. Cas3 County D. H. I. A.

SHOOTING PUZZLES COPS Omaha Four of Omaha's best de tectives admitted Friday night to po lice officials that they are baffled in their attempt to solve the mystery surrounding the fusillade of shot gun and revolver fire which they be lieve was intended Thursday night for Gene Livingston, former "Alcohol Baron" who recently turned to the "investment" business for a living. Livingston's expensive sedan was riddled by bullets from the guns of three men who trailed the car to a spot in a fashionable residence dis trict. The driver of the riddled car dhsappeared in the darkness, as did the occupants of the pursuing car. Livingston has denied to police that he wa-s the driver of the car fired upon and. if he knows the Identity of the men who did the shooting, is keeping It a secret. HUGHES WINDS UP PRIVATE AFFAIRS New York, Feb. 14. Charles Evans Hughes had a busy day Fri day accepting congratulations and refusing to comment on senatorial critics, who termed him "intellect ually unfit" for chief justice. Warding off most queries with a smile, he had a definite answer for only one question. That was when he was asked if he had any reply for senators who opposed confirming his nomination. He said: "1 do not care to be inter viewed on tht.M He passed the day winding up his private business, preparatory to go Others Heard on 'Good of the Community' Employment for Home Owners, Get Alfalfa Mill Busy at Something, Two Latest Suggestions The best sign that people are In terested in their town and its ad vancement is when they are willing to give thought to what it needs to make it better and offer constructive criticism and suggestions to these in position to help remedy the faults complained of or initiate the Ideas suggested. That is what the Chamber of Com merce is trying to get the people of Plattsmouth to do now. Of course, not every suggestion can be taken ur. for obvious reasons, but out of the many, some of the most import ant can be made the goal of C. of C activities and brought to a success ful culmination this year. Other more drastic reforms may require two or three years to bring about, but con tinuously working for them will get results in time. One of the latest suggestions is a protest from a home owner who com plains he cannot get employment. "I would suggest," says this man. "that you (as Chamber of Commerce) get employment for the people who live here and are owning property here. Why not do like the people in Missouri have those outsiders who have come here to work buy some property in Plattsmouth if they want a job. That is what some of those from here who went to Missouri to work in the shops there had to do to hold their jobs. It isn't a bad Idea. is it? ... You can't expect property values to be good when home-owners move elsewhere to get employment and there is no demand for property on the part of others coming in. If every man in Plattsmouth having a job here would buy a home here and spend his money in Plattsmouth there wouldn't be anything wrong with the town. . . . Help to bring about 10') yc home ownership among our laboring men and. get an industry or two to give employment to those who can t hnd work anu you will have solved the biggest problem that con fronts our community." And along this line, from another party comes the suggestion: "Get the alfalfa mill building busy at some thing. Do everything possible to fur nish employment to the men who are idle. . . . Let every house in town come out with a coat or nice new paint. Let's spruce up and look like we lived here. Platts 'can't be beat not even tied if the people will take pride in their community, al ways speak well of it and work to gether for Its progress." Another in this "round table" dis cussion writes: " Mentioning your re cent trip to California brings to mind the fact that those people are always boosting and favoring their 'native born.' Let's give some attention in 1930 to our home owners, who are most interested in the progress of he community. I hope to boost and help in every way for the future suc cess of Plattsmouth." Another (who toured some 5,000 miles last summer) .writes: "On my trip I observed a great many things. One thing that I particularly noticed was that tourists spend more than of their money with business establishments located directly on the highway. And it's at the over night stops where they spend the bulk of their money. Now, to my mind. the thing that would give Platts mouth her share of this tourist mon ey, would be an attractive modern tourist cabin camp, well and con veniently located. This I hope to see brought about during 1930." Share Different Views Two letters came in the same mall, sharing different views on the ath letic field proposition, but it is only by such exchange of views that the merits of any proposition can be got ten at. The Chamber of Commerce has no favored location to espouse, being interested only In seeing a good athletic field provided, where our boys may play football, baseball and hold their track meets, and undoubt edly when the time comes that the proposition has been worked out and location decided, will give financial aid to its construction, as it has done to similar worthy enterprises in the past. We only pass the comment of these two writers along as the suggestions of citizens who are interested in the upbuilding of our town. One says: "Let us hope that no ball grounds will ever again stand in the way of the C. B. & Q. Ry. Co. making use of the land east of the city. It seems most certain that we would now have the division point at Plattsmouth if the Ry. Co. could have had the ground when they made the effort to get it a few years ago. Pacific Junction's gain; Plattsmouth's loss." The other says: "We have had for years the best baseball diamond that could be found in any small town, and we must keep It. We must build a drainage ditch to protect our health as something would have to be done about our sewerage, anyway. Just take a walk down there and see how the stream is filled up and spreading all over the bottom land. When you can accomplish two good deeds for the price of one, why not start at once before the heavy spring rains come? ... Another important mat ter is the securing of graveled roads leading to Plattsmouth. Six miles of road is the least we could ask for and that would be a fine start. Three miles south on the Rock Bluff road and three miles west on the Louisville road would be fine for this year and they could be added to as fast at Plattsmouth's share of the gas tax be comes available."

New Ideas and suggestions constructive criticism tell the officers and direc tors just what you think about the organization and how It can be made more efficient or useful in building up our community.

Eagle Pastor is Called to a Larger Field Rev. F. Korbitz Will Have Charge of Church in Kansas City, Kan. Takes Up Work Soon Unexpectedly and to his own sur prise the Rev. Mr. Korbitz received a call to the Grace Lutheran church in Kansas City. Kansas. This is one of the most promising mission con gregations in the Kansas district, lo cated In a new residential district. Though the congregation has ben founded le.HH than three year?, yet it has about the same membership as the congregation with which Pastor Korbitz is at present affiliated in Eagle. Grace Lutheran church lo cated in the northwest part of the city is to serve about 40,000 people in that section of the city, and mis sionary opportunities seem to be un limited, because of this reason. Pas tor Korbitz has accepted the call and his congregation granted him a peaceful dismissal, so that he might accept this charge. j. The Rev. ilr. Korbitz la a graduate of Concordia Theological Seminary. St. Louis. Missouri, harlng graduated with a class of 10C students In the year 1922. At first Pastor Korbitz served as a missionary in British Columbia, Canada serving all, to gether nine mission places. In 1923 Pastor Korbitz was called to Fairbury, Nebr.. organizing a congregation there and being instru mental in the erection of a church. In 192G Rev. Mr. Korbitz was asked to begin a mission at Odell, Nebr.. where he also organized a congrega tion and built a church. Coming to Immanuel Lutheran church at Eagle in September 1927. Pastor Korbitz assisted In the building of the beau tiful little stone church north on Main etreet. Thia is the third church Pastor Korbitz was instrumental In having built during hb first five years n Nebraska, prospects are that he will soon be engaged in an other building program at Kansas City, since the basement of the church has only been completed thus far. Pastor Korbitz expects to preach his farewell sermon at Eagle Febru ary 23. at 11 a. m., leaving shortly thereafter.

Davis AGENT Plattsmouth, Nebr. Stamina Has Won Many Hard Fought Battles Refusal to "Take the Count" Gives Towns Like Individuals Oppor tunity for a Come-Back. The admiration of everyone goes to the individual whe "refuses to take the count," be he a boxer in the squared arena or a man fighting the uphill battles of life itself. And the same thing holds true of towns. That's why Plattsmouth is held in high esteem in financial circles among men of big business who know intimately of the many trying things that have happened to set the town back in the past decade and how our business men and citizens have come up smiling in the face of ad versity after adversity, until now at the beginning of 1030 we seem to be standing at the threshold that leads to prosperity and better times. The turning point has been reach ed and with the old time "up and at 'em" spirit. Plattsmouth can stage a come-back that to those unfamiliar with Plattsmouth stamina would seem little short of miraculous. It is doubtful if another town in the state has been harder hit by ad versity than has ours. The railroad strike, the building and loan collapse, two bank failures and individual liquidations have taken toll that is hard to estimate. But through it all, Plattsmouth has weathered the storm wonderfully well and is now in posi tion to capitalize on prosperous con ditions. When one business house closed its doors, another was secured to take his place, and today along the six blocks of principal business house fronts of our city only three vacant store rooms can be found. Show us a town and particularly a river town with as small a percent age of unoccupied store buildings as you'll find in Plattsmouth! It is this ability to "come back and make the best of conditions tha wins admiration, both in prize fight and the battles of individuals am cities. The hats of all who know conditions in Plattsmouth during th past ten years are off in recognition of that indomitable spirit. Today, elsewhere in this paper, i being published a list of 15 names members of the Chamber of Com merce for 1930 men (and a sprink ling of women, too) from all walks of life and representing all vocations and lines of business men who see in the coming year an enlarged horizon and the opportunity to stage that comeback that will deal a death blow to old man Misfortune. In fact the past year has witnessed the putting: in of some good licks an lies aJreadv wobbly on nis feet so let's keep up the good work am drive him to his corner, hopelessly defeated. Such telling body blows as our new Missouri river bridge, the paving of IT. S. 75: our own extensive municipal paving program of the last few years; modernizing of more than a dozen stoi c fronts; line elect roller lighting system, and just now addi tions to the residential lighting sys tem that will make Plattsmouth one of the best lighted cities in the state, together with our splendid new co operative creamery, the products of which find ready market in the large cities of the east all of these have weakened him, until now all that is really needed to put over the win ning punch and knock out adversity is courage courage in the tuture and a concerted effort on the part of ev eryone interested in the advancement of Plattsmouth. The disastrous third, fourth, fith. sixth, seventh and ninth rounds arc now history. We are carrying tin fight into the opponents territory and if we keen up the present pace a tew rounds longer, decisive victory will be ours. Remember this, unlike the prize fights In real life.

The Harding is paved almost continu ously from Plattsmouth to the At lantic seaboard and is fast becoming one of the leading and most heavily traveled highways in the nation. At Used Car Prises!
