At times my feet pained so badly I thought my toes would break off. I tried everything. The doctor told me I would bo no better while I lived here but I stopped in a drug store in Brooklyn, N. Y., one day last November and the man in charge told me to take Kruschen for 3 weeks steady and I would get relief which I did. Never felt better and along with it, have lost weight. I weighed 210 then. Now I weigh 154 and while I'm 50 yrs. old I feel 30. I took it for one thing got two so I now have 6 others here taking it." Mrs. A. V. Carr, Ft. Tilden, N. Y.

We, the patrons of Mercerville school, wish to advise the public that we are sending our children to the Central building under protest. The board of education' has order ed the Mercerville school closed, so it says, for the purpose of economiz ing which it decided and voted to do after the termination of the past school term, and the board discovered the tax money, which is used to main tain our schools,, failed to make its appearance. However,, they issued contracts to teachers and made plans to close ur school before the close of the past term of school. Before the President of the United States constituted and put into effect the National Recovery Act, every citizen was aware of our present de pression and acted accordingly and, even though conditions are being ad justed for the better, there should have been steps taken to economize before the close of our- past school year, by not eliminating teachers, if that was considered necessary, but by eliminating courses of study, which would be a fairer way of serv ing our children than depriving them of a school. In explanation of what we mean by eliminating courses of study, we make the following ex ample: Discontinue kindergarten work for the present year. Every true mother would be willing to keep her child at home until the, age of six years, if she knew he could take up first grade work when he entered school. .3r- Tho children of Plattsmouth are just as capable of carrying the first grade"" work when, they enter school as our rural children are capable of doing. Much has been said about the chil dren being able to be served in a more proficient manner by crowding them into the Central building. This, we do not feel is true. Our rural eighth grade graduates are not lack ing in education due to shorter per iods of study and more grades. They pass the required .examinations., in order to complete', the , eighth grade and be eligible for entry into high school. t We have been told that we are to blame for the closing of Mercerville school because we-' have asked for a reduction in our taxes. We want the public to know the district served by Mercerville school, has paid its taxes amoutning to more than $2,100.00 and this amount is sufficient to main tain a school since, a good school can be maintained for ,11,300.00. - We ask you, isJt fair and just, that we be deprived of a school and give the non-property taxpayers the cream of our schools and we be made to suffer? The burden of maintain ing schools rests upon the poor man for it is he who makes every effort to pay his taxes and there should be some kind of tax made upon every citizen to be used to help maintain schools, so that every man will have to support our schools and not the property owner alone, but until that time comes the only just way out is to economize as before stated and not by closing schools. It is on record that the Mercer ville school has served the City of Plattsmouth for the past fifty-two (52) years and if there has been a need of a school for that period of time, there is still a need. Mercer ville is serving a rural district with out city privileges and therefore, citizens, we feel that we deserve to be set outside the city limits into a rural district and bo permitted to maintain our own school. In closing, may we say that we sent our children to the Mercerville school the past week with the hope that the board of education would reconsider its stand and we want the public to know we did it in a clean and above-board manner and not be hind .closed doors, and with the thought of being law-abiding citi zens. We invite you to drive to the homes of the different patrons of the Mercerville school and walk i dis tance to ar.d from the Central build ing and ask you to judge our action.
