The deceased with his hrotner, Donald, Wymore Fletcher and Bert K-inninn. had been visiting Thurs day evening at the farm home form erly occupied by John Armstrong but which is how the home of Ed--iri WpncpL who is a former em ploye of the McQuinn family and a close friend of the young men. ine party had drove to see Mr. Wince! while awaiting the midnight train from Plattsmouth of which the father, Tom McQuinn, was return ing home. .

It is stated that when thp local freisht comes into Union frnm T.inroln. it is the custom of the crew to use the westward siding, cut ting the trlan and leaving aDOUt iwo par lengths oDen at this crossing.

Bentley, a dapper bachelor and member of a prominent Springfield, Mo., family, is accused by Mrs. Mildred Rankin, twenty-five of having represented himself as a skill ed dentist and to have extracted three of her teeth without her permission after she had agreed to permit him to clean them. Taken to police headquarters, Bentley said practicing dentistry in an "unprofessional way" had been hi3 principal hobby since he retired from the banking business in Spring field, ten years ago after amassing a fortune. His patients were wimen, he said, and he charged them noth ing. Bentley maintained no office, but he said he had given dental treat ment to about 200 women in St. Louis, New York, Kansas City and Joplin, Mo., in the last ten years. A large dental kit was found in his room In a fashionable hotel, in ad dition to several recently pulled teetn. "I guess I get a thrill out "of it" Bentley told Detective Chief Kaiser in discussing his hobby. 'HOMEMAKER' WELL BE REAL VOCATION Washington. March 21.

Why take a chance with Strangers. Farm taansftfitl Lanit Bavis r -2 Some Things of Importance C of C Has Achieved Definite Organization Has Many Ad . vantages Over Old Time "Let-George-Do-It" Policy. . Sometimes now and then some one arises to ask what the Chamber of Commerce has done to merit the membership of those interested in Plattsmouth's growth and expansion. And to such, we would reply There are two classes of benefits derived the tangible or easily dis tinguishable ones those that can be pointed out as distinctive C. of C. achievements and the Intangible ones. To illustrate when a mer chant places an ad In the Journal, a portion of his customers call for ad vertised articles or mention seeing the ad and being attracted by the particular thing he offers. These af ford the tangible results of advertis ing. Then there is the other class, who come Into his store and buy new customers, many of them but give him no possibility of knowing if his ad actually brought them to his place of business. All he does know is that his business increases when he advertises and falls back when he ceases to use newspaper space to keep the public informed on what he's doing. These are the intangible re sults of advertising. And bo it is with the Chamber of Commerce behind the scenes are be ing enacted daily instances of the in tangible benefits of having this or ganization. The office of the presi dent is a veritable clearing house of information. Strangers in town, let ters from outside interests and indus tries seeking Information about the town and its opportunities, question naires of every kind and description all are received there and given courteous and dependable replies. Out of it all, there comes to Platts mouth widespread advertising and the inquirers recognize that there is an active, alert civic organization in Plattsmouth. If this organization didn't exist and such inquiring letters were placed in the hands of individuals for reply, how many do you think would take the time and pains to run down the information sought and pass it along? The stationery alone indicating that there is a Chamber of Commerce, with a large director ate, that it holds bi-weekly noon-day luncheon meetings all this helps to advertise Plattsmouth to the world and is productive of intangible re sults that can't be computed in any other manner than that in which the merchant computes the returns from his advertising. Yesterday we told you of one defi nite tangible result that should alone justify the existence of the organi zation the graveling of the Louis ville road. It was the hard work of the Good Roads committee, extend ing back over a period of several years that finally brought results. And so it has been with other tan gible results it has taken time (lots of it) from the busy workaday lives of C. of C. directors who . accept places on committees. To those who seek further tangi ble evidence of the need of main taining a wide-awake civic organi zation such as this, we point to the following record, which contains but a fraction of the many things the Plattsmouth Chamber of Commerce has backed financially and morally every one of which has been a dis tinct advantage to Plattsmouth: Backed the movement to gravel U. S. 75 and raised good portion of the necessary money. Helped to bring District conven tion of American Legion to Platts mouth in 1926. Lent its aid to improvement of Main street and installing of ade quate storm sewer system to prevent floods in the business section. . Brought the National Guard en campment to Plattsmouth in 1922, piping water to their camp and oth erwise extending aid. Successfully conducted series of Happy Hundred suppers thru winter season annually .for several years, the fame of which has spread over Nebraska and nearby states. Fostered and encouraged location of Farmers Co-Operative creamery, paying $500 for first pound of but ter turned out. Secured passage of bill thru con gress and Interested men and capital in building of Missouri river bridge without draining the community for stock sale or donation something no other town up and down the river can boast of. Sponsored several Fourth of July celebrations that brought hundreds of people to Plattsmouth. . Aided financially in erection or Legion community building. Brought the Tri-County Poultry show to Plattsmouth last Fall and has secured promise It will be held here again this year. ' . Helped plan Webster boulevard to eliminate sharp turns and poor road out of town to highway leading to Omaha. Erected traffic signs and marKers to aid travelers in getting into and out of town. Aided materially In securing oi city mail delivery in Plattsmouth. Sponsored visits of Santa Claus to city each year for past three years. And at all times has given finan cial assistance to band concert pro gram, baseball activities, etc. These are just a few of the major activities. , Kvery day smaller ones are comintr up. For Instance, train and bus schedules afforded no outlet to the south from 10 in tne morning until mid-afternoon. Pickwick lines, wMoh had not made this a regular stop, were asked to do so, affording opportunity to go soutn arounu nuwu. Their consent secured, it was neces sary to-gainapprpval of State, Rail way" commission and more corres pondence required before the result sought was achieved.

Wescott's Allied Clothiers tie instance of the many things that are being given 'attention. Locking to the Future Believing river navigation will be a reality in the next few years at latest, the Chamber of Commerce is devoting much time to a study of its possibilities and the formulation of plans to take the greatest advantage of it when that time comes. The spec ial Docks and Harbors committee will be one of the most active of all the committees during the current year. It is arranging for a showing at the Legion building on April 10, of a four reel picture depicting river work and its results in order that Plattsmouth people may beccme more wide-awake to the possibilities that lie before us along this line. And thus we gain a glimpse of what's going on "behind the scenes" in the Chamber of Commerce and see that instead of the well-known "leave-it-to-George" policy that has been all too prevalent in years past not only in Plattsmouth but all over the country every problem that comes up is delegated to some active committee chairman and given individual and immediate attention. The tangible results are numerous, the intangible ones manifold. Read the Journal Want-Ads. SPEAKS ON GOOD B0 ADS Each Friday afternoon from 4 to 4:15, Mr. Byrne of the Omaha Auto club and also a director of the Ne braska Good Rosas association, speaks from radio nation WOW at Omaha on "Good Roads." This talk is very interesting and the Plattsmouth acd Cass county people are urgt-d to tune fn on this program and hear a rral rn.e?age on the improvement of the highways of the state. It is a message worth while. It is better to have insurance and no fire than to have a fixe and no insurance. I write for the Farmers' Knrnal of Lincoln.
