M. W. A. hall., where they entertain
ed their own membership as well as
the membership of the Modern "Wood

provided a very entertaining program
and the evening was enlivened by
many exciting games.

necessary to perform another opera

very nicely from the trying ordeal,
but still remains quite poorly. Hopes

The young folks of Murdock and
vicinity gave the newlyweds a sere
nade or as you are wont to call it, a
charivari, which was enjoyed by both

bride and groom as well.
CALLS ROOSEVELT UNSOUITD
Sedalia. Mo. Governor Roosevelt
was described as "too unsound and
impracticable to ue entrusted with
the presidency" in an address by Sec
retary Hyde of agriculture. "Tlie
governor says practical reforestation
is in its origin an act of nature not
of man," Hyde said. "He now say3
the winds of the heavens carry the
seeds from trees that have come to
maturity, scatter thm over the ground
and the warm earth and rain and tho
sun do the rest. I do not mean to be
cruel, but the governor forgets that
his original plan was to relieve unem
ployment. Now he turns the job over
to mother nature.
"Thus we get a revelation of the,!
chimerical statecraft of the gentle
man from New York, the f armer
from the manorial golf course on the
Hudson and the fishing shack in
Georgia."
LEAVE TO RETURN INSTILL
New York. Charles A. Bellows
and Andrew J. Ylachos, assistant
state's attorneys of Chicago, sailed
for Europe to seek the return of
Samuel Insull, public utilities mag
nate now in Greece. The two prose
cutors boarded the liner Roma a few
minutes before the gangplank was
raised.
Bellows and Vlachos, who arrived
from Washington where they had
been in conference with government
authorities refused to Eay whether
they had papers providing for Insull's
rturn but said they would not have
undertaken the voyage unless they
could return with him.
Phone tho news to Wo. 6.
Nebraska Man
Has High Place
in Broadcasting
Lloyd C. Thomas, Formerly of Al
liance and Hastings Honored by
National Broadcasting Co.
A Nebraska native son, Lloyd C.
Thomas, has been appointed the new"
ly created executive position of man
ager of local broadcasting for the
National Broadcasting company, with
headquarters in New York, accord
ing to an announcement made re
cently. Mr. Thomas was for sixteen
years publisher of the Alliance Her
ald, and later secretary of the Hast
ings Chamber of Commerce and man
ager of radio station KFKX when it
was located in that city.
Mr. Thomas left his radio and
Chamber of Commerce position at
Hastings five years ago to become
genral manager of the Wcstinghouse
stations in Chicago, Boston, Spring
field, and Pittsburgh, with head
quarters in the latter city. Early this
year the program direction of these
stations was taken over by the Na
tional Eroadcasting company.
In his new position Mr. Thomas
will have charge of the local com
mercial program activities on the
following station's: 'WEAFahd WJZ
in New York; WMAQ and VENR in
Chicago; KGO, KPO, and KYA In
San Francisco; WBZ in Boston;
WEZA in Springfield, Mass.; WGY
in Schnectady; WRC in Washington,
D. C; KDKA in Pittsburgh; WTAM
in Cleveland; KOA in Denver; KJR
in Seattle; KFX in Portland, Oregon;
KGA in Spokane.
Although his duties for the past
five years have kept him traveling
about through the east almost con
stantly, Lloyd Thomas has retained
his Nebraska citizenship and has
found time to visit the state sev
eral times each year. He has con
tinued to be an active factor in the
activities of the Nebraska Volunteer
Firemen's association and other state
organizations. Much to his regret he
was compelled to miss attendance at
the annual state convention of the
State Volunteer Firemen's assosiation
held at Falls City last week, the first
one missed in twenty-three years.
He advised the firemen by telegraph
that he would never miss another
session.
Lloyd Thomas still finds time to
maintain an interest in Nebraska
and last year purchased and stock
ed a three thousand acre cattle
ranch in Pine Ridge near Crawford
which he will, visit this winter.

Attention should be given to the hair
in order to keep it orderly but that's
not hard to do if you
make regular visits to
the Etta Belle Beauty
Shoppe. Judging from
the hair dresses of the
movie stars, there really
is something to the rumor
that short bobbed hair is returning
to favor. And a friend of mine who
has just returned from abroad tells
me that invariably the smartest dress
ed women in Paris are those with a
short hair cut. The Etta Belle Beauty
Shcppe will cut and thin your hair
in the latest mode, and finish it off
with a lovely finger or marcel wave.
Make your appointments via phone at
the Etta Belle Beauty Shoppe. 20 is
the number.
THEY TOLD ME a story at the Fred
Lugsch Cleaning establishment about
Wm. Allen Whiter the famous repub
lican editor, who once attended a
democratic convention. When the
chairman opened the meeting he dis
covered there was no minister pres
ent, so he asked Mr. White
to pray. "Well," said the
staunch republican, gen
erously, "I'd be glad to
pray for you .fellows, but
I don't want the Lord to
Know I'm here!" And the
moths that get into people's clothes
are a good deal like that they don't
want anybody to know they're there,
and lots of times they get away with
it. The one way to be safe is to have
your spring and summer clothes dry
cleaned before you lay them away for
the season. Put dry cleaned clothes
in any tight box and they're abso
lutely safe from moths. 1
YOU WOULDN'T BEAT your wife If
6he were a little bit under the weath
er and couldn't do her work, would
you? Well, it's just about as reas
onable to abuse your hens when they
won't lay. The thing to
do for your wife is to give
her a few days off and
the thing to do for the
hens is to give them lib
eral helpings of Wayne's
Egg Mash with every
meal. You see the Wayne mash con
tains all the mineral and protein ele
ments so necessary in egg production.
Without those elements, the hens are
up against a helpless proposition. So,
if it's eggs you're after, go down to
the A. G. Bach store and get a supply
of Wayne's Egg Mash it'll pay you
big dividends. Remember, Bach's is
headquarters for flour and feed of all
kinds, and carries the largest stock in
town, buying in carload lots direct
from the mills, so srre able to quote
you bed-rock prices.
WHATEVER your political senti
ments may be, you'll all vote for
"Economy" so that's why you
should use an economy fuel for heat
ing your home. Political talk is ev
erywhere these days, but it is well to
be thinking of your coal
supply for the winter
and then you can be as
sured of setting back in a
snugly warm house and
listen to the election re
turns next Tuesday night.
Coal, you know is one of the safest
fuels to use in heating your home.
It must be the safest, else Insurance
companies would not quote lower
rates on buildings heated with coal.
The Hartford Coal Company is sell
ing lots of coal these days. These sud
den changes in temperature make a
cozy fire welcome and you'll get
plenty of heat if you use Hartford
coal. Better call Charlie and let the
Hartford Coal Company fill your coal
bin. Then you'll be assured of a safe
and economical method of keeping
your heme warm and comfortable
when Old Man Winter arrives.
How these days and months do fly! Less than two
months until Christmas! The wise shopper these days
is getting acquainted with the merchandise in the stores
and tucking away interesting things for Christmas gifts.
The Plattsmouth stores are filled with ideas and sugges
tions for the shopper who does her holiday shopping
early. Sincerely
NOW that the weather, has become
rather chilly for extended outdoor
play, many of the little folks who are
not of school age are finding It diffi
cult to entertain themselves. Mothers
who are "at their wits end" to think
of something to keep these small
folks amused and "buEy" will be glad
to know that there are
many new toys at Knorr's
Popular Variety Store that
will answer her need in
both novelties and inde
structible toys. Every day
seems to find something
added to the already large stock at
Kncrr's. Of course, it's not neces
sary to remind you that Christmas is
net a long way off and that some of
these toys selected now will do away
with the usual last minute worry
and attendant holiday rush and
crowds.
I LL BET ANYTHING that you've
often locked at the fashions in some
of the smart magazines and thought,
"No where outside of New York
could I buy clothes like those?" But
if you know your home-town shops,
you'll know that at the Ladies Tog
gery one finds the sort of clothes pic
tured in these smart fash
ion magazines. The Ladies
Toggery carry the Bloom
field, LeVine and Mme.
Renauld line of dresses
and these come in sizes
and styles suitable for the
young girls to the matron's figure.
Then for the girls of "teen" ages,
there's the "Classy Jane" line of
dresses, and these are as youthful
and frivolous styles as a girl could
ask for. No matter what size dress
you require, you'll find models at the
Ladies Toggery the Shop of Person
al Service.
SAUSAGE the American breakfast
dish, which we usually associate with
steaming wheat cakes and the aroma
of coffee. Sausage has a very definite
place as a staple food there's no
waste to it. Many housewives are not
familiar with the variety
of ways this food can be
prepared 'and served and
the number of other foods
with which it can be com
bined. Try it fried, broil
ed or baked, with toast,
pancakes or muffins; with baked or
mashed potatoes; it's grand with rice
cakes, and as a luncheon dish with
fried apples, it's great! Left-overs of
sausage make appetizing omelets. Try
a new sausage dish toady and here's
a tip, just drop in at Mullen & Sons
Grocery and Market and ask for some
of their delicious home-made sausage.
Contains nothing but select cuts of
lean pork, with absolutely no filler
added. It's one of the regular specials
in their week-end ads and sold at a
price in line with present day prices
cf pork products.
IF YOU SOAKED UP plenty of sun
shine this summer, you're not apt to
be so susceptible to colds and sore
throats. But should you fall a victim
to this common ailment just re
member 4that the Mauzy Drug Store
has a dandy line of cold
remedies. Frequently a
dose or two of their cold
and laxative tablets will
"break up" a cold If it
has not progressed too far.
For irritating coughs, try
San-Tox Pine Balsam, the finest and
most effective cough syrup I know of.
It comes in 50c and 25e bottles. It's
also a good idea to keep a box of
San-Tox Cold Capsules in the house.
They're 50c a box at the Mauzy Drug
Store. And for deeper seated colds or
other illness that requires a doctor,
just remember Mauzy's is the place to
take the prescription.
YOU'RE JUST FLIRTING with colds
and perhaps pneumonia if you "don't
keep your feet warm and dry. Just
anytime now, you'll be needing a pair
of rubbers, overshoes or galoshes, and
at the Fetzer Shoe Company you'll
find the U. S. Rubber Co's.
dependable line of rubber
footwear for both men
and women that has a
reputation for real inclem
ent weather protection.
They fit, too! It's a grand
and glorious feeling to know that you
have a good pair of rubbers to put on
when the weather is wet and stormy.
Children going to school, especially,
should be equipped with, rubber foot
wear that v. ill insure warm, dry feet,
and protection for their shoes.
"I'M HUNTING for Fall curtains," a
lady said to me on the street the
other day, "and I thcught maybe you
could tell me where to find the beet
values." Well, I certainly could do
that! For I've just visit
ed the H. M. Soennichpen
store and they have the
loveliest pieces of curtain
materials and also ready
made curtains. Just about
anything you've had in
mind in curtains will be found at
Soennichsen's nets, voiles, grena
dinos straight panels, ruffled, pri3
cilla or the cottage styles. You'll also
be interested in their draperies ar
tistic cretonne patterns as well as
damasks. And, of .course, Soennich
sen's also have all the paraphernalia
for hanging curtains. .
I WANT TO SUGGEST to the men
folks that the next time "old friend
Joe" or a business visitor drops In
to see you, instead of calling up the
house and announcing another guest
for dinner, you invite the
lady of the house down
town to have dinner with
you at Brown's Cafe. It
will be a much gayer af
fair because everyone goes
to Brown's to eat, and the
food is so wholesome and delicious.
Lots of Plattsmouth people are find
ing that it's much nicer to - have
their Sunday dinner at Brown's it
saves a lot of time and gives one more
time for drives along these magic
roads of color. The next tlm you
have out-of-town friends drop in to
see ycu. just call up Brown's Cafe
and make a reservation. You'll get
extra special service, too.
JUST LOOKING at the jars and cans
of food products displayed at the Red
& White .Grocery Store makes one
want to be prepared with good things
to eat. Try this salad if you want to
impress the family with your ingenu
ity or perhaps "artiness." On a
lettuce leaf or two, place
one of the luscious halves
from a can(of Red & White
peaches, the rounded sur
face up. Stick whole cloves
in for eyes and nose, cut
slits for mouth (you'll get
ideas for expressions after the first
try), and insert a sliver of maraschino
cherries for lips; and then use shred
ded lettuce for hair. The Red & White
Grocery and Market has all the "ne
cessaries" for making a good salad,
including the Red & White line of
salad dressings.
GAS HEAT for your home is the most
convenient miracle of modern times.
With a Radiant Ray Automatic Gas
burner installed In your present fur
nace, absolutely even temperature can
be maintained throughout the winter,
regardless of outside temperature, and
with the thermostatic con
trol provided with this
burner there will be no
wasted heat or necessity
for opening windows to
keep from suffocating. Be
sides this, the convenience
is incalculable in terms of dollars and
cents. The Radiant Ray mechanism
secures perfect combustion, using all
of the gas, and Bestor & Swatek Co.
will install it on a rental or easy pay
ment basis. Drop into their store and
see this perfect burner demonstrated.
