JYcmc Word engine gives outstanding
acceleration speed ami power without
sacrificing reliability or ccttnotng
THE good performance of the Fcml car,
no apparent on every highway, is tine
largely to the sound mechanical design
of the engine.
It has outstanding acceleration, ppeed
and power, yet that is only part of its
value to you. Greater still is the fact
that it hrings you all these features
without sacrificing cither reliability or
economy.
That is the reason the Ford car has
given such satisfactory service to mil
lions of motorists all over the world
and has been chosen by so many large
companies that keep accurate cost fig
ures. In every detail of construction it
has been carefully planned and made
for the work it has to do.
The design of the compression cham
ber is an important factor in the effi
ciency of the Ford engine. It is built to
allow free passage of gases through the
valves and to thoroughly mix the fuel
by producing turbulence -within the
cylinders during compression. The spark
thus flashes quickly through the whole
fuel charge, resulting in quieter and
more effective engine performance.
Other factors are the direct gravity
gasoline feed, the specially designed
carburetor, the new hol-.-'pot manifold,
aluminum pistons, chrome silicon alloy
valves of larger diameter, statically and
dynamically balanced crankshaft and
flywheel, the simplicity of the electrical,
cooling, lubrication, and fuel systems
and accuracy iu manufacturing.

Louisvilie Has
Made Forward
Strides ia Year
City in Growth in Population, in In
dustry and General Appear
ance Much Better
Hardly seven years ago the city
of Louisville was the scene and pic
ture of destruction. Following the
flood which nearly washed the little
city clear out of the county, Louis
ville started a campaign of rebuild
ing and reconstruction which at this
time has made it one of the most
beautiful and delightful cities in
Cass county and which was visited
Thursday by a representative of the
Journal, Edgar Wescott. Due to the
near complete destruction of their
homes and business houses at the
time of the flood, which the city ex
perienced in 1923, the people of
Louisville were forced to practically
build their city anew.
At this time, due to close co-operation
among themselves and with
with their neighboring towns Louis
ville has built itself up to the point
where it i3 now looked upon as one
of the most progressive cities in the
county. As one walks down the
business streets of Louisville there
seems to be the Epirit of friendliness
and business in the air. People go
out of their way to speak to you, and
no matter how much of a stranger
you may be when you arrive you
won't be a stranger long.
Business houses of Louisville are
well kept, their outside" appearance
as well as their inside appearance is
well maintained, the stores are well
stocked and serve well in the supply
ing of the wants of the people of
the city. The residential districts of
the city are well maintained, several
new homes lend their appearance to
the already beautiful and well plan
ned districts. Newly graveled streets
add to the comfort and safety of
transportation in the city, a3 well as
adding greatly to the beauty of the
city.
Besides these improvements Louis
ville has been ever watchful for op
portunities to bring industries into
their city, approximately a year and
a half ago the Ash Grove Portland
Cement and Lime company set up a
cement plant just opposite the city.
This has been one of the biggest
things that has ever happened to the
city of Louisville in the way of im
provements. Due to the fact that the
Ash Grove people have in their em
ploy only men who would be desir
able to such a community, their pres
ence has been helpful in both a busi
ness and social way.
At the present time there are plans
being considered which provide for
the construction of a new bridge
across the Platte river at Louisville
This will be another major improve
ment for the city, and the city should
derive a great deal of good from the
construction of the bridge.
It might be wise for the other
cities in Cass county to watch Louis
ville, to try and catch that spirit of
progressive building which they seem
to have, and in a measure endeavor to
pattern after the constructive atmos
phere which appears to be so strong
in that community.

GEORGE HENRY D00LEY
PLAIT BANQUET IN HONOR
CC3I2IANLER EISKPATRICK
The Martin Graves Legion post at
13ellevue is arranging a big banquet
for next Tuesday night, July 1st, in
honor of their post commander, R.
A. Kirkpatrick, of Omaha, who has
been elected to succeed the late Chief
Justice William Howard Taft as pres
ident of the National Americanism
Congress.
Attendance at the banquet is open
to Legionnaires, their wives and im
mediate families, and the South Om
aha and Plattsmouth posts have
been extended especial invitations.
The cost will be $1 per plate, and
Randal! Eiart of Bellevue, who is in
charge of arrangements says it will
be the biggest chicken dinner ever
held in that neck of the woods, which
is known for the fine feeds served at
the regular Fellowship dinners held
there throughout the winter season.
Available equipment will enable them
to accommodate nearly three hundred
diners, he says.
Those from Plattsmouth desiring
to attend should notify Post Adju
tant Elmer Webb not later than Sun
day afternoon, so reservation can be
made.
Mr. Kirkpatrick, who has been
thus signally honored, is well known
among Legionnaires here. He was a
speaker at the district convention
here in 1926 and the Memorial day
speaker in 192S. He was long a mem
ber of Omaha post and speaker on
Americanism and Historical Incidents
at the various radio programs spon
sored by the Legion in Omaha. Due
to differences of opinion over activi
ties policy, he withdrew his member
ship from that post and joined the
Bellevue post, which he has served
very efficiently as post commander.
Transportation will be arranged
for any without cars who wish to
attend the banquet, but reservation
must be made not later than Sunday
afternoon.
George Henry, son of Henry and
Ella Dooley, was born Nov. 6, 1910.
He died suddenly, the result of an
accident, June 21. 1930, aged 19
years, 6 months and 15 days. He
came to Plattsmouth with his parents
in Nov. 191S where he has since
resided excepting three years spent in
Pacific Junction, Iowa. Always an
affectionate boy, sharing with his mo
ther his hopes, joy, grief andambition
was converted when 12 years of age
but for 6ome reason soon fell from
grace, but often expressed a desire
to find Jesus again. But never for
getting to pay his tithes and offer
ings. He leaves to mourn his going
his father and mother, an aged grand
mother, three brothers, Carl of
Plattsmouth, Clifford of Omaha, Clair
at home, one nephew and one niece,
besides aunts, uncles and cousins.
Card oj Thanks.
We wish in this way to express
our thanks to all those who came to
us and helped in any way in our
great sorrow in the death and burial
of our dear son and brother, Henry,
for the use of their cars and the
beautiful flowers, words of comfort
and sympathy, every act of kindness,
and the beautiful songs. May God
richly bless each one and may such
a sorrow never come to any of you.
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Dooley, Mr.
and Mrs. Carl Dooley, Clifford and
Clair, Mrs. Earl, Miss Lenore Reed
and Relatives.
THANK YOU OUR FRIENDS
BRING HOME GRANITE BOULDER
Mr. and Mrs. Philip H. Kahler
have further added to the beauty
and attractiveness of their fine home
by bringing in from the country and
setting up in their yard at the north
west corner of the houe a great red
granite boulder weighting 2,732
pounds, the gift to Mrs. Kahler of
Mr. and Mrs. Tom Tennant, who live
two miles east of Louisville on the
Plattsmouth road. It took seven men
and Mr. Kahler's ingenuity to load
the boulder and bring it to town.
Near the boulder on the ground
will be placed two big toad stools
which Mrs. Kahler herself moulded
of potter's clay and which were then
burned by Mr. Kahler at the Kahler
Pottery company's kilns. On top of
the boulder will be perched a big
stoneware frog. This arrangement
will fit perfectly into the landscap
ing plan of the premises.
Mr. and Mrs. Kahler make a hobby
of their home and have created a
vertiable fairyland garden of their
yard, where they spend many happy
closed and screened in their front
closed and screnned ia their front
porch, so that they have a maximum
of comfort and enjoyment. Such
homes are a credit to Louisville.
Louisville Courier.
During the time that Mrs. Briggs
was ill and at the hospital both be
fore and after, we were in receipt of
many acts of kindness from our
friends, the spoken word, the cards
and letters of sympathy, the flowers
and the kindly visits. We appreciate
these acts, and the friendship which
prompted them more than we are able
to express. Thank you again, and
may you always have health and
friends. Mr. and Mrs. M. S. Briggs.
We Edvise yon to get your Fire
vrcrks now. Omaha people are driving

large quantities this year. Avoid dis
