Had Disastrous Fire
During the time of the funeral of
the late Jacob Hardnock, a Are broke
out and with no known cause, at the
home cf August Johnson, which con
sumed his "barn and a very modern
crib that was more of anelevator
than a crib, both being excellent
buildings. The neighbors responded
readily to the call for help as did also
the AIvo Fire Department. The peo
ple were assembled at the funeral and
with their best clothes and to fight
the fire were not properly attired, but
did rot let that deter them and hur
r'ed to the scene of the fire and did
all possible for the extinguishing of
the blaze. Their efforts were respon
sibls for preventing the spread of the
flames to other buildings nearby.
In the crib were some 2,000 bushels
of corn. It is reported that the build
ings were partially insured and that
the) insurance on the grain was $100.

Packing Plant to
Cease Killing
Indefinite Closing Means Loss of Em
ployment to 400 Hen in the
Otoe County City.
Killing operations at the Morton
Qregson packing plant at Ncbranka
City will cease at the end of this
month, statement .issued by C. M.
Aldrich, manager, states.
The packing house will remain
closed indefinitely, with only hog and
cattle buying operations to b: car
ried on in the future. Th hut down
of the plant will affect norm? 4 00
workmen who have been eiiKitK"l m
the plant.
This industry has been the Iuik
est in the Otoe county city and Mh
closing comes as a Kevcro blow l
the residents of Nebraska City.
The statement:
"The anxiety of our citizens with
reference to the operations of
plant are natural and in order to
quiet numerous rumors floatliiK
around and to give a cleaer under
standing we state the facts as fol
lows: "We are operating as usual now
and will continue to do so until the
close of thi3 month, then we expect
to discontinue killing operations
here and the plant will remain closed
indefinitely. We shall continue buy
ing both hogs and cattle for the pur
pose of supplying other Wilson
houses.
"This action is due entirely to
change in conditions and distribu
tion and to business conditions which
obtain in other line3 as well as our
own. Our people feel that it is bet
ter policy to operate their larger
plants to full capacity rather than
operate additional numbers of plants
and all of them on limited schedule
"We have had satisfactory opera
tions the past six months, about
25 greater volume than corre
spondlng time last year and returns
have been much more satisfactory
"Reports that the plant is being
closed on account of failure to meet
Government requirements are not
correct, as the plant fully meets Gov
ernment requirements and relations
are pleasant as they have always
been. y
fit is a matter of regret to all
concerned in the" company that con
ditions make this move seem advis
able, but the conditions are not of
our making or their making, nor are
the people of Nebraska City respon
sible. We are simply having to pay
the price here in thi3 community
that many others have suffered and
will have to suffer until present busi
ness conditions are changed perman
ently for the better."
HOWARD URGE SSUBMISSI0N

of congress to submit 100-word sug
gestions for a prohibition plank.
Howard would not name the "dis

states' rights declaration on prohi
bition.
