PLATTSMOUTH
Mark Site of
First White Man's
Home at Sutton
Daughters of the American Revolu
tion Take Steps to Pieserve
Historic Spot.
The place of the first white man's
heme in Sutton, a dug-out with a
hidden passage for escape from In
dians, if needed, has recently been
marked by Butler" Johnson chapter.
D. A. R. In order to save the spot
from complete obliteration, the chap
ter has placed a temporary marker
over the small depression in the east
creek bank, south of the park rail
road bridge, that was once the en
trance to the Luther French dug-out.
Luther French, born at Plaines
ville. Lake county, Ohio, was the first
v. hite settler in the town and pre
cinct of Sutton. He located his home
stead on March 14, 1S70. On June
5, 1S70, he made permanent settle
ment, camping on the creek, not far
from the north section line, until he
built hi home partly in the east bank
of the stream. The dug-out was built
up wllh logs on the inside, covered
with bark and dirt, and had a ground
floor. On one side was a blind cham
ber under the ground; this connected
with a passage to the creek bank,
some rods away, and was intended
to serve as an escape from Indians, If
attacked. The houe, though long
abandoned, stood in practically orig
inal condition until nearly the begin
ning of this century. Now all traces
of this fisrt home have been erased
by the removal of a large part of the
bank for grading purposes.
Thirty-five years ago F. M. Brown
planted a red cedar tree in front of
this entrance, and the stump of this
tree, identified by James Honey, a
Sutton pioneer, now a resident of
Colorado, helped in locating the spot.
T'nder the direction of Mrs. Emma
Yaple, regent of Butler Johnson chap
ter, D. A. R.. and her committee. Mrs.
M. Figi, Mrs. Samuel Garney, and
Mr-. O. W. Challburg. Charles M.
Brcwn and Ralph J. Buck erected
two steel posts to hold a sign to be
placed at the entrance. Later on the
chanter plans to place a permanent
marker with fitting dedicatory ceremonies.
Young Artist
Ranks High as
an Illustrator
John P. Falter, Son of Mr. and Mrs.
G. H. Falter, Serves Many of
Best Known Magazines.
Mr. and Mrs. G. H. Falter and
daughter. Susan, of Atchison, Kan
sas, were visitors here over Sunday
as guests at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. R. F. Patterson, the latter a
sisicr ct Mrs. Falter.
The Falters are former residents of
this city and their many friends in
the city will be interested in the re
markable success that has been won
by their son, John, as an illustrator
and artist.
While the family were residents
cf Falls City, the young man, then
a mere lad in public school, began
the demonstration of his talents as
an artist and which he had developed
into his life work. Following his
high school career he entered one of
ihe largo eastern art schools and
where his talent and untiring devo
tion to art which was a passion with
him, won quick recogntiion.
M4- Falter has in recent years
maintained a studio at Pelham, New
York, where he has been associated
with one of the veteran illustrators
of the great city. He at first was
engaged in a general free lancing of
his work but now has several fine
contracts with leading magazines of
the east. He has made a large num
ber ci cover designs and was engaged
in a 200 issue contract with the
Street & Smith publishing house. He
has been placed now on the staff of
the McFadden publications and has
the iilustrating of special articles for
Physical Culture as well as for a
number of the stories in the Liberty
magazine, one of the most popular
and best known of the weekly pub
lications. When you see the name
Falter on the illustrations you may
know that it is the work of the boy
who was born in this city some
twenty-four years ago.
The young artist was married the
past summer to Miss Margaret Hug
gins of Emporia, Kansas, and they
now are making their home at Pel-ham.

FIRE CHIEF CRITICIZES
PLANS FOR WAR TRAINING
Berlin. A government spokesman
revealed that Germany expects by
spring to reinaugurate the system of
universal military training. The
speech Sunday of Chancellor Von
Schleicher, reiterating Germany's de
mand for arms equality, the spokes
man said, was a notification to the
world and to Germany that there is
a determination to replace the reichs
wehr (the German standing army)
with a militia in which all citizens
must serve.
FIRES
Every Hay
The papers are reporting many
big fires, causing heavy losses.
This is a Very
DANGEROUS
SEASON
Sudden chaDges, high winds, quick
fires of wood and paper, overheated
pipes, explosions, ets. They all are
causes of dangerous fires, and fires are
hard to fight on cold winter nights!
Be Safe Insure
Now!
The carelessness of some one else may
cause the fire can yon afford to lose ?

Omaha. Concluding an investiga
tion, Fire Chief Patrick Cogan said
he believed most of the water pour
ed on the 8300,000 Erowniug-King i
fire here Friday by the first firemen
to reach the scene never touched the
heart oZ the fire, because they were
apparently unaware that a brick wall
cut the basement in half.
Cogan discovered that wall when
he inspected the debri3 left by the
fire. He said Assistant Chief E3au
Gardiner had made no mention of it
in his report.
"I don't believe he knew of the
existence of the wall," Cogan said.
"It was poor leadership." Gardiner
was in charge of the first detail to
reach the fire.
After Cogan informed Fire Com
missioner Towl of his conclusions, the
latter called a meeting for afternoon
"to thresh out the whole affair."
The wall tuts the basement of
the building in half. The chief be
lieves that most of the water poureu
into the building early in the fire
splashed against the middle wall and
failed to reach the west side, where
the lire apparently got its best start.
FEWER SHEEP. LAMBS,
ON FEED EN NEBRASKA
Lincoln, Jan. 17. B. V. Jones,
assistant state and federal agricul
tural statistician, today said Nebras
ka had 6 per cent fewer sheep and
lambs on feed January 1 than a year
ago. Increases in the Scottsbluff sec
tion and the Central Platte valley
were more than offset by the large
decrease in eastern Nebraska.
Jones said although eastern Ne
braska feeders had excellent supplies
of corn and other feeds, there was
considerable hesitancy about buy
ing feeder lambs.

From Tuesday's Daily
The Plattsmouth Woman's club
held their regular meeting last eve
ning at the home of Mrs. Phillip Hirz
and who was assisted by Mrs. R. W.
Knorr, Miss Anna Leach, Mrs. J. W.
Taylor and Mrs. C. H. Bernhardt in
entertaining.
The meeting was under the lead
ership of Nrs. E. H. Wescott.
The subject for discussion was
"America and World Peace." Mrs.
Wescott stated that the subject call
ed for an understanding of many co-
related subjects such as war debts,
League of Nations, World Court,
peace pact, Philippine independence,
tariffs, disarmament, international
ism, immigration, socialism, com
munism and national defense.
As it was impossible to consider
all these aliases the speaker confined
her remarks to the consideration of
President-elect Roosevelt's opinion
on the League of Nations, and World
Court, and President Hoover's ad
dress on Navy Day, concerning the
apparent insincerity on disarmament.
She also read and discussed some
excerps from Gen. John J. Pershing's
comments on war.
Mrs. Wescott also gave statistics
that showed that the nations of the
earth fail to keep their agreements,
and that there is much gross misrep
resentation concerning this country's
exp2r.diturcs for national defense.
The speaker closed her remarks by
quoting Theodore Roosevelt on "Na
tionalism VS. Internationalism."
During the World war Theodore
Roosevelt said something which is
just as much to the point today as
it was then. This is what he said:
"There is no limit to the greatness
of the future of America, before our
beloved land. But we can realize it
only if we are nationalists, with all
the fervor of our hearts and all the
wisdom of our brains. We can serve
the world at all only if we serve
America first and best. We must
work along our own national lines in
every field of achievement. We must
feel in the very marrow of our being
that our loyalty is due to America,
and that it is not diluted by loyalty
for any other nation or all nations
on the face of the earth. Only thus
shall we fit ourselves to be ready to
serve them."
The high school girl3 who were
present were Misses Amy Elliott and
Helen Amick, who were introduced
as the high school members for the
evening.
The club also adopted a resolution
in favor of the "Buy American"
movement which is now being urged
in the nation as an aid to labor and
to combat depression.
At the close of the evening dainty
refreshments were served by the hos
tesses to add to the pleasures of the
event.

CONFER WITH SIMMONS
Scottsbluff, Neb. Irrigationists of
the upper North Platte valley con
ferred here Tues day with Congress
man Simmons. He called the confer
ence with members of the irrigation
association who are opposed to the
proposed Casper-Alcova irrigation
project for diversion of waters of
the North Platte river into Colorado.
Simmons will meet irrigators of
central Nebraska at Lexington Wed
nesday. President McNamara, North
Platte, of the lower valley associa
tion, has called for representatives,
of all chambers of commerce along
the middle Platte valley.
Farmers of the North Platte al
ready are speculating on the amount
of water that will be available for
the coming growing season. Due to
lack of the usual snows in the moun
tains this winter, there is almost
certain to be a shortage In the upper
valley.
R. H. Willis, Bridgeport, chief of
the Nebraska irrigation bureau, said
the Pathfinder dam in Wyoming has
about half the water now it normal
ly has at this time.
BRYAN FEELING BETTER
Governor Bryan was reported by
Mrs. Bryan Tuesday to be In good
spirits. She said he passed a good
night and that the tooth ache which
bothered him Monday had abated. A

Millions Sliced
from Budgets in
the Corn States
Easing of Tax Burden Taking Form
in Legislatures of Midwest
Nebraska in Line.
Chicago, January 16. Ire of mid
west farmers against adverse condi
tions has set legislators of corn belt
states to diligent paring of budgetary
demands. Throughout the territory,
which lately saw the so called "farm
strike" swing at reduced farmer In
comes and foreclosure resistances and
tax sale postponement assail heavy
farm debt burdens, measures are be
ing shaped to slice millions of dollars
from expenditures. They aim at
shrinking outlay to fit within reduced
state incomes.
Nebraska has set the legislative
pace for its neighbors. But Iowa, If
its law makers assembled last week,
follow recommendations of an Interim
tax committee, will attain a midwest
economy mark. The committee has
proffered recommendations It esti
mates will save Hawkeye taxpayers
25 millions a year. Gov. Clyde Her
ring, Iowa's new democratic chief
executive, made a start in economiz
ing, by cutting off 55252,400 in an
nual expenditures in his first week in
office. The interim committee has
urged on the legislature a schedule of
mandatory tax cuts, elimination of
levies, reorganization of departments
and salary reductions throughout the
state employed personnel to bring
about a huge saving.
The Nebraska legislature has speed
ed its session's work until it is al
ready three weeks ahead of its 1931
predecessor, as its first contribution
to economy. Gov. Charles W. Bryan
has submitted a biennial budget call
ing for $11,096,000, which is $3,426,
000 under the 1931 figure. Of the
sixty bills offered by law makers, pro
posals to reduce Interest rates and
taxes and effect economies comprise
the large majority.
In Minnesota a measure is to be in
troduced lopping stuto, officers' salar
ies 20 per cent. .
Governor Horner of Illinois pro
posed last week sales and Income
taxes to re-inforce levies which have
been trimmed to meet heavy unem
ployed relief outlays. Proponents of
the sales tax assert a 2 per cent levy
would send into the treasury as much
as 75 millions annually to ease prop
erty taxpayers' load.
NEW SCHTLDHAUER FIGURE
Chicago. Described by authorities
as an associate of hoodlums, Louis
Leppla, cousin of Mrs. Prances
Schildhauer, was questioned by po
lice investigating the mysterious
slaying of Mrs. Schildhauer's hus
band, high school bandmaster. Cap
tain Stege asked that Leppla be
brought to headquarters after he
said he discovered Leppla appeared
at the Schildhauer home Dec. 9, the
night before Schildhauer was reput
edly kidnaped by two men. Stege
said Leppla had not visited the home
for two or three years. Also, Stege
said, the widow telephoned her cou
sin before her husband's body was
found in Cicero.
"It seems curious," Stege said,
"that at a time when Mrs. Schild
hauer believed her husband kidnaped
and perhaps murdered she should
seek" conversation with a man we
know to be associated with gunmen."
PREDICT NEW GERMAN POLL
Berlin. Political circles so firmly
believed that the country was headed
for its third reichstag election with
in the last seven months that the
cahinet even discussed Feb. 19 or
Feb 26 as. tentative dates. Advices
from Weimar indicated that Adolf
Hitler, leader of the national social
ist -fascists, encouraged by the suc
cess of bis party in the Lippe diet
election Sunday, had decided to con
tinue his "all or nothing" policy.
Altho Chancellor Von Schleicher
would like the nazis to enter the
government, he cannot consider Hit
ler for the chancellorship. A de
cision, is expected in the course of
the week after another attempt by
General Von Schleicher to make con
tact with Hitler. The nazi leader is
expected in Berlin Tuesday for a con
ference which may determine his fu
ture policy in regard to co-operation
with the present government. In the
Lippe election the nazis won eight of
;the twenty-one diet seats. Previous
ly they had had only one member of
the state legislature.
INAUGURATION FUND
Washington. A guaranty fund of
$100,000 will be raised by the Roose
velt inaugural committee for the in
duction of Franklin D. Roosevelt.
HANDS OUT TWO MILLIONS
Washington. Loans totaling $2,
272,372 to provide work for thou
sands of men were authorized by the
Reconstruction corporation directors
including one advance for relief and
seven for self-liquidating projects.
The board loaned $281,372 to Cali
fornia to help that state maintain
its labor camps for transient unem
ployed men who are cared for on
the "no work, no eat" plan at camps
on the snow line of the. mountains.
The other loans included $1,300,000
to San Juan, Puerto Rico, for com
pelling its waterworks system and
$550,000 to the University of Colo
rado for construction of a dormitory
for 300 girls.
