As in former years, it is hoped that transportation can be provided for these elderly residents and anyone going who will have room in their car to accommodate one or more of the Home residents, is urged to advise Mr. Evers, superintendent at the Home, as soon as possible. It is planned to have the caravan of cars leave here around C:15 o'clock, arriving at the Coliseum by 7. Free tickets to the show are avail able to all Plattsmouth and Cass coun ty residents and may be procured at either the Bates Book Store or Geo. Conis' shining parlor. One ticket ad mits a gentleman and any ladies ac companying him. It is a set rule that children will not be admitted to Ak-Sar-Ben shows, but all adults are cordially invited. Platsmouth has furnished some large crowds at "Ak" shows in years past, but present indications are this year's attendance from here will set a new high record.

Straws and Fabrics for Summer 0 Liquor Com mission will Not Pre-Judge Will Net Pass Upon Applications Until They Are Brought Offi cially Before Them. Chairman Gass and Commissioners McEachen and Carmichael of the state liquor commission are not pre judging liquor license cases before applications reach them, it was an nounced when their attention was called to rumors that they were quot ed as having said they would not grant a liquor license for sale by the drink at West Lincoln even if that village should vote in favor of li cense. "We are not prejudging any case," said Chairman Gass. "Any state ments attributed to use must be in correct. It is our policy however to co-operate as much as possible with local councils and village boards." jThe commission received a call from the village clerk of Deshler where a vote for sales by the drink carried by only six majority, 138 to 132. The clerk said he has an appli cation for on-sale and off-sale. He asked for instructions and was told the application should be filed with the commission. The commission's attention was called to a license application from Howard Jones who has cafe rights on an airport outside the city of Norfolk. The application is for the sale of beer. The county board mis takenly granted the license, and later revoked its action when convinced that it had no authority to pass up on such an application. The state commission alone has a power to grant the license, and as the location is owned by the Wesleyan university, a denominational organization which leased the land to an airport organ ization, protests and an appeal to the supreme court may follow. Chairman Gass said he expected a contest and an ultimate appeal. He repeated his statement that the commission Is not passing upon cases until they come before the commission in an official way. The application from Norfolk has not been received by the commission. Stamps showing 50 cents a gallon tax has been paid on liquors have been received by the commission, to gether with a cancelling machine. The stamps will soon be ready for sale to wholesalers who pay the 50 cents per gallon tax. The stamps are cancelled by the commission before sale. Wholesalers may buy them now, said Chairman Gass, altho re tail licenses cannot be issued and in force until next Monday. Retail Applications. Forty-two additional applications for license to sell package liquors, making a total of 152, have been docketed by the commission as com pleted, being accompanied by all fees and a bond.

Ask your etgnoan Prepare Setup for the Old Age Pension Statute State Preparing to Take Over Admin istration and Start Functioning; When U. S. Law Passed. Notification has been sent to the various counties over the state as to the set up for the administration of the old age pension law passed at the la3t session cf the legislature, which it is hoped to have functioning as soon as the final enactment of the federal bill will permit the full pay ments to the beneficiaries of the lav.'. The state law now provides for a commissioner at Lincoln to handle the administration of the law and from whose office each month the payments will be made to the pen sioners In all sections of the state. The state also has notified the counties to send to the commissioner what funds are held In the county treasury in the old age pension funds, these to be placed in the state fund. It is the plan to have a certain percent of the extra one cent gas tax as a temporary aid to the fund, also a part of the liquor tax is to go to care for the aged. There is also levied a head tax of $2 on each per son of taxable age in the state to support the pension fund, instead of the former tax of fifty cents. This head tax applies to all from 21 to 50 years of age. The state in their plan provides for the payment of $15 as their halt of the pension, while under the fed eral plan this will be matched by an equal sum or $30 for a single per son. For man and wife there is pro vided a joint state and federal pen sion of $50 per month. Under the new alignment of ad ministration of the law the county old age pension board is composed of the board of county commissioners and the county treasurer instead of the formerly appointed board and which has ceased to function with the approval of the new law. The old age pensions apply to those who have passed their sixty-fifth birthday, do not have an income to exceed $250 a year. Exemption is allowed for household goods and ef fects to the value of $300. Penalties are provided for the giving away or disposal of properties in order to de rive the benefit of a pension. Application must be made to the county old age pension board and all those in Cass county who may wish to make application may call at the court house and do so. It is advis able to apply at once altho the date for the start of the payments of the pensions is still uncertain depend ing largely on the national old age security bill, but those who have tneir pensions approved will receive their payments as soon as the com ission starts to function.
