Plattsmouth State Bank H. A. Schneider, President Frank A. Cioidt, Cashier Carl J. Schneider, Assistant Cashier Henry Horn, Vice President Kansas City Campany Plans to Work Thru Kansas City Eridge Co., May Con tinue Work Hear Here Dur ing: Winter llonths. Unlike mod Missouri river con tractors who must close up shop when' winter freezes the channel over, the Kansas City Bridge com pany which has a project near this city, probably will work all winter. With most cf the dike and mat tress work on bars in the river the Kansas City outfit need not worry about eccentricities of ice-clogged water because they can move land equipment on the bars and drive dikes regardless. However, final decision as to just how long operations will be con tinued rests largely with Dame Na ture. Should the winter be reason ably mild the company probably will not cease construction. But, should temperatures fall far below zero and the weather get nasty it is too much to expect laborers to work under tho.'c conditions, river men declare. Equipment necessary to carry on full time work is now awaiting un blocking of the channel below Ne braska City. As soon as navigable water is available the fleet will hurry to Plattsmouth to get ready for the winter push. SHOPS TO HAVE VACATION From Friday's Daily The Burlington Refrigerator Ex press Co., car shops in this city will have a nine day vacation starting with the close of work today and continuing until Monday, December 3rd.

Yellow Fox glove is Very Easily Grown' i A True Perennial That Is Much More Easily Grown Than j Ordinary Type. j I The very beautiful and easily, grown hardy yellow Foxglove is' known to surprisingly few garden-j ers. It rewards attention much more! readily and frequently than the ordi-j nary familiar biennial Foxglove (Digitalis purpurea), for the yellow species (D. ambigua, sometimes list ed as D. grandiflora) is a true and reliable perennial yielding its beauty year after year with little trouble to the gardener. Moreover, it sows its seed freely, so that if by any change the original plants die out there are always plenty of healthy youngsters spring ing up to take their places. These younger plants are never so aggres sive as to become a nuisance. Another advantage of this plant is that it gives two generous crops of bloom. In the neighborhood of New York City it begins to flower the first week in June and continues until the middle of July. Then it takes a rest, but early in September it again starts to send up flower spikes. Often after a hard frost this industrious plant will attempt, and sometimes succeed, in producing a display of flowers. A Handsome Plant. Digitalis ambigua is a native of i the mountains of Southern Europe j and Western Asia. It makes a hand- some tuft of long shining pointed j leaves, slightly hairy and indented ! along the edges. From this tuft arise the hairy and leafy flower stalk3 to a height of some twenty- (four inches or more. The flowers are j bell-shaped like these cf the com ! inon Foxglove and are strung close- j ly along the upper portion of the ! ctalk, opening from the bottom up- wards. They are a soft cream-yellow in color, lightly freckled on the in jtcrior with golden brown, j It is a handsome plant for the fore ! ground of the herbaceous border, j where it i:; particularly effective grown in front of the blue peach I leaved Bcllflower, Campanula persi ; cifolia. It also thrives in a wild gar jden that is not too wild and over ! grown, and it is a delight in a rock ! garde n where a little height is de j sired. I The yellow Foxglove makes a neat plant, and in the poor soil of the j rock garden its height is somewhat ! less than when grown in a richer j medium, but in no other way does it suffer from this restricted diet. Its blessing in Fall makes it especially valuable in the rock garden, where a tthat season bloom of any sort is at a premium. The yellow Foxglove is net particular as to soil, and it grows equally well in full sun or partial shade. It is easily raised from seed planted now, in a cold frame, or out of doors in the Spring.

A BUNNY A Bunny peeped out from a bunch of grass, And saw Old Shep was com ing en-masse, lie made his escape from the back door of his den, Making a bee line for the brush heaps near the glen. Safe under a heap Bunny silent ly crept, While Old Shep sauntered around, Bunny quietly slept, For at night he meanders out for his food. And gathers it where it may stem to be rude. A cabbage patch was found to be very nigh The brush heap that was chosen, he could not decry, So Bunny became hungry and ventured a space, Determined on some cabbage, if he challenged Old Shep for a race. The cabbage was growing and tender and good, And soon near the edge of the patch little Bunny stood, lie spied Old Shep coming across the glen. So he rushed to the ehelter of the little red hen. What a noise she made at such a bold intrusion. It seemed for a' time all wa3 confusion. But quiet prevailed when Old Shep stole away, Fjr it was beginning to show faint signs of day. Bunny concluded to go back to the brush. And there remain quiet through the morning rush, So he quietly slipped around the quaint old thatch, Resolving to stay away from that cabbage patch. J. R.
