The Plattsmouth Garden club has rendered a real service to this com munity. The Flower Show last year under the auspices of the Garden Club did much to make this city flow er conscious. Plattsmouth has won the distinction of haying the high est percentage, in proportion to popu lation, in the purchase of tickets to the National Flower Show to be held in Omaha from March 30th to April 7th, of any city or town in the Mis souri Valley. Nearly 500 tickets have been purchasd. This is a high honor to the fine cultural character of the people of this city, which the Garden Club and the Flower Show have in spired. The Second Annual Flower Show under the auspice of the Platts mouth Garden Club will be held about May 25th and 26th this year. Begin now to plan to enter a number of flowers in the flower show, and win some of the valuable prizes. It is planned now to have some display s from the nationally known iris and peony gardens from Kansas, Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota and Missouri. These exhibits will not be in competi-j tion with local growers, but will add j much to the attractiveness of the show. The Flower Show committee have extended special invitations to some forty-five University Extension clubs in Cas3 county to participate in the Flower Show, and to make entries in all the classes of flowers, vases and baskets. Last year there were sixty-) nine different persons entered flowers in the contests for prizes, and nearly every one won one or more prizes. There were nearly nine hundred peo ple visited the flower show, and en joyed its wonderful beauty. This year we are counting on from 200 to 300 entries and an attendance of from 2000 to 3000 visitors. The Flower Show is open to every grower of flowers In your own yard, in Cass! county. The moisture during the past few weeks. is nature's contribution to the flower lovers of this city and county, and makes possible a bigger and bet ter Flower Show thi3 year. You can do your part by beginning to plan now for your flowers to be ready with blooms by the end of May. SPEAKS TO CLASS From Wednesday's Dally County Attorney W. G.

Dust Storms Sweeping Over Central West Eastern Nebraska Receives Part of Storm That Finds Full Fury in Oklahoma and Kansas. i'rom "Wednesday's Daily This sction of Nebraska and west ern Iowa today was receiving a part of the great dust storm that has svept for the past week ovr the west ern and central parts of Nebraska as well as Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. The storm followed the early morning promise of rain and at noon had reached a height that made ne cessary the use cf lights in business houses and residences, so darkened had the sky become with the dull graw dust that swept its way east ward. In this section fortunately thsre was no wind to whip the dust as had been the case farther south and saved the driving of the dust into the homes and business houses. In Kansas orders were given by railroads operating in the storm swept area which held up traffic as the visibility was such that travel was dangerous as signals ( could not be seen and in many place3 great banks of dirt and dust had been ac cumulated on the tracks to make it very dangerous. Auto travel was r.133 held up by the intensity cf the stem. DR.

Accidents (m n n r if b lift w ml The Improved Anniversary Appreciation ACCIDENT POLICY $2.00 A YEAR Worth American Accident Insuranco 8 8 Telephone Co. Has Fewer Acci dents in 1934 Lincoln Telephone & Telegraph Com pany Have Fine Showing for Past Year. Again the Lincoln Telephone and Telegraph company has reduced the number of lost-time accidents among its employes, according to Manager R. M. Misner of the local office. Com pany records for the year 1934 show that most of the accidents occurred while the employe was working on the ground, one-third of the total ac cidents for the year being caused by lifting, loading and unloading poles. The Lincoln area of the telephone company went through the entire year without a single lost-time acci dent. A comparison of the year 1933 with the year 1934 indicates that there were fewer lost-time accidents. In 1933 therewere 11 lost-time acci dents in the company, while in 1934 there were only 7. This stands a3 a record, for compared with the per formance of other years, there were fewer lost-time accidents in 1934 than in any other year in the history of the company. Figures are apt to be uninteresting and stupid, but not these figures. Briefly, they tell a real story. In 1933 there was a total of 19 no lost-time accidents, and 11 lost-time accidents; while in 1934 there were 23 no lost-time accidents and 7 lost-time accidents. "Glancing through the report of injuries issued by the Lincoln Tele phone and Telegraph company this week, it is interesting to note that a greater part of the accidents oc curred to employes while working on the ground," said Manager R. M. Misner, "for lifting, slipping or stumbling and unloading poles were the cause of:43 percent of the total number cf accidents for the year ,1934." "The supply department, with headquarters in Lincoln, with a total of only three accidents for the year 1934, stands in first place in the per formance of accident prevention," continued Manager R. M. Misner. "This betters their record of the pre vious year by one. In 1933 this de partment had a total of four acci dents.". "During tho.year 1934 there were 117 days lost, ,vhile in 1934 there was a total pi 12Q: This is an en viable record when -we glance back a few years and see what happened. In 1930 the record shows there was a total of 94 accidents, effecting a total of 484 days of lost time. In 1931 there was a total of 49 accidents in 34S days of lost time." "From a purely material view point " said Manager Misner, "this accident record for 1934 represents a very large saving in money, to the company and to the employes. But above and. beyond that, it should be considered fropthe personal, human side as well. Think what this re markable reduction in accidents has meant in the avoidance of thousands of hours of t'uffcring, of mangled limbs, of anxiety on the part of wife and family, or perhaps the less of a limb itself!" From "Wednesday s Dally Elmer Hallstrom, the Avoca bank er, was in the city today to look after some matters of business at the court house and visiting with his relatives and friends.
