LAST YEAR many Plattsmouth
people got Nebraska baby chicks
from us and raised fine flocks of
healthy poultry. These neighbors
of yours say that it isn't necessary
to "send to Iowa or Missouri for
chicks. In fact, you can do better
here if you get chicks from hatch
eries in our own state.
"We represent the leading Nebr.
hatcheries and offer quality chicks
from flocks that have been care
fully culled over a period of ten
years. They are properly graded,
bloodtested. Nebraska accredited,
and guaranteed. Our Plattsmouth
customers will tell you that the
Cornhusker livability guarantee
really means something, too!
Take the risk out of chick-raising
and make real profits this year
with Nebraska chicks. Tell us the
kind of chicks you want, the num
ber, and when you want them.

Plattsmouth
People Write of
Earth Shock
None of the Former Residents Here
Have Snffred Injuries as
Far as Reported.
The reports received here by mes
sages and letters from former Platts
mouth residents at Los Angeles and
Long Beach, are to the effective that
while the property damage to several
was extensive, there has been none
of the Plattsmouth colony injured.
The most serious sufferer from .c
earthquake shock from this section
was former County Attorney C. H.
Taylor, residing at Long Beach. The
Taylor home was badly wrecked by
the earth shock and while the family
was fortunately not injured they have
suffered a heavy loss to the home.
Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Hartford of
this city have received word from
their daughter, Mrs. "Chick" Hart
ley, formerly Miss Elva Hartford
Mrs. Hartley writes she was prepar
ing the evening meal at their apart
ment home when the .first shock of
the quake struck. The walls of the
kitchen were trembling and the floor
swaying, the force being so strong
that a floor lamp was overturned
while articles were tossed around.
Mr. and Mrs. Hartley, made their es
cape from the apartment house and
later hastened to the home of a friend
who resided in a one story bungalow
and where they remained for the
night. Hundreds were sleeping in
cars parked in vacant lots in fear of
the collapse of the buildings.
E. H. Schulhof also has received
word from a niece assuring him that
the John A. Schulhof family were all
right altho the home of Mr. Schulhof
sucered some damage and the chim
ney of the house is badly damaged.
ROOSEVELT TO HAVE POOL
From Tuesday's Datir
President Roosevelt will have his
desired swimming pool In the white
house, without it costing the govern
ment a single penny. Some time ago
congress frowned on the proposal to
appropriate money for the construc
tion of such a pool for use of the in
coming president.
Today the New York Daily News
headed a subscription list to be made
up wholly by people of his home state
of New York, with a contribution of
$1,000 and announced that it would
receive the contributions and see that
the pool is provided.
ZAXGARA TO DIE IK WEEK
Next Tuesday, March 21, la set as
the date for the electrocution of Zan
gara, would-be presidential assassin
and murderer of Mayor Cermak. A
Florida deputy sheriff was named as
the one to pull the lever, sending the
electricity through the body of the
ex-bricklayer who hates capitalists
and whose stomach is due for one
more terrible ache in the short sec
onds required to bring death.

Congress Not to
Recess; Gets Farm
Relief Bill Next
'Full Steam Ahead," Says Roosevelt,
Gleeful at Manner Solons are
Supporting His Program
So gratified is President Roosevelt
at the 100 per cent co-operation he
is receiving from congress, not alone
the members of his own party, but
republican members as well, that the
first plans calling for a recess of a
few week3 following passage of the
economy and beer bills have been
given up and the chief executive of
the nation will go right ahead with
all the emergency measures that he
deems advisable to have passed at
this time.
The next problem to be tackled is
that of farm relief, and the president
is busy today preparing his message
to the solons on this subject.
After it will come the unemploy
ment problem, probably the last of
the emergency measures to demand
immediate attention.
Although senate democrats today
refused to bind themselves under the
unit rule to vote solidly for the econ
omy bill as presented, the big major
ity will be with the president and
joined by a number of republican
senators, will probably pass it with
about the same ratio of majority It
was carried in the house.
The beer bill, being speeded to an
early passage will complete the list
of recommendations so far offered by
President Roosevelt, and all passed
within little more than a week at the
most, whereas the congress has been
wont to argue for months without
even getting to a vote on legislation
cf far less importance.
The manner in which the presi
dent is tackling these emergency
problems that confronted him when
he took office ten days ago, has re
sulted in widespread confidence in his
policies and a belief among those of
all political faith that he is really
the Moses sent to lead the people out
of the slough of despond and deliver
them from the well nigh bottomless
pit of depression.
His characteristic for action, not
unlike that of the other Roosevelt In
the white house, meets with a respon
sive feeling on the part of the Amer
ican public.
"Full steam ahead," says the new
engineer, and with his hand on the
throttle and a clear mind to the mo
mentous problems before him, there
seems little likelihood of derailment
as the prosperity special pulls out on
to the mainline.
NAMED AS CHICAGO MAYOR
Chicago. Overriding rebellion In
its ranks, the Cook county demo
cratic organization succeeded in
placing its candidate, Frank J. Corr,
alderman from the Seventeenth ward,
in the chair as mayor pro tempore
to succeed the slain Anton J. Cer
mak. The election of a temporary mayor
came in a few hours after Corpor
ation Counsel William H. Sexton
gave the council in special session
an opinion that such a procedure was
illegal without enabling legislation
by the state legislature. The demo
cratic caucus decided, however, that
the interim mayor bo elected would
resign within a few days, as soon as
legislation was provided for the elec
tion of a mayor.
