SOLICITING LIQUOR ORDERS IS ILLEGAL Solicitation of sales of intoxicants by a retailer in his home city or In other cities or villages, orders to be mailed or taken to the retailer and the intoxicants then delivered by common carrier or otherwise, is un lawful under the state liquor law, !says Attorney General Wright in an swer to a question by the liquor com mission. The attorney general had held previously that liquors can be delivered by the licensee where the sale takes place in the licensed prmises, but in this instance he holds that the plan, proposed by Henry Monsky of Omaha, does not contem plate sale from the premises. It is now pointed out by the attorney gen eral that a licenseee may sell only from the premises specified in the license. He says anyone soliciting or re ceiving orders for liquor outside of the licensed premises would in , ef fect be selling liquor without a li cense to do so. Comparing advertising of intox icans in a newspaper with the per sonnel solicitation plan, the attorney general says advertising in a news paper does not amount to solicitation under the definition of "to sell," con tained in section 2 of the law, nor does it amount to an offer for sale as treated in section 25 (d) of the law. WHEAT BARGES LOADED AT LEAVENWORTH, KAS. Interest in Missouri river navi gation shifted last week to Leaven worth, when that city in Kansas witnessed the first loading of grain barges for shipment to the world market. Still without wharf and dock fa cilities, the enterprise of the Farm ers' National Grain corporation in installing 15 thousand dollars' worth of loading equipment met it3 reward when 50 thousand bushels of wheat were transferred quickly to the barges. The wheat will be unloaded at Chicago, and the freight cost will be considerably below that for de livery by rail. Leavenworth, with intentions to rival Kansas City as a river port for grain shipments, plans the early con struction of adequate warfs. It sets an example for Omaha and other up per river .posts. The channel is not completed this far north, but work ers are busy at principal points up to Sioux City, the administration continues to be friendly to the proj ect, and the day of realization of the dream draws steadily nearer. Omaha, one of the great primary ; grain shipping centers of the world, I will only be able to hold to that posi I tion when the river is made navi gable, by becoming a water as well as j a rail point.

WON'T CHANGE RIVEIl ItULE Howard Hunter, regional FERA director of Chicago, has refused, definitely and finally, to alter regu lations concerning hiring of labor for Missouri river channel improvement projects, State Relief Director Witte said. Hunter, at Lincoln for a conference with Witte, restated the government's position in the matter that the purpose of the projects primarily was to take men off the relief rolls. Speedy completion of the projects is secondary, he told Witte. Hunter told Witte that if the proj ects could not be completed with the 90 percent relief labor requirements, the projects themselves would have to be changed. Rallies at 114 ..-7.v : v' y Solomon F.

The death of Ernest Matschullat, 3S, occurred Friday at the farm home near Orchard where he has been mak ing his home for a number of years, and where his elder brother, Otto and sisters, Mrs. Lena Horstman and Mrs. Minnie Munderlah, also reside. The deceased made his home in Plattsmouth during his younger years and will be well remembered by the many old school friends and associates who will regret very much to learn of histpassing. . Besides the brothers and sister at Orchard there are surviving Herman, who Is now located in California, William F., Edward and Fred Mat schullat of Lincoln, and Henry of Auburn. Mr. Matschullat was a cousin of Mrs. Julian McNatt of this city who received the message announcing the death of the relative. ARRANGE FOR FAIR Floyd Wbolcott, one of the lead ing residents of Weeping Water, was in the city Friday to spend a few ! hours and helping boost for the Cass county fair which is to be held the coming week at Weeping Water.

The Junior Drum and Bugle corps i3 one Plattsmouth organization that, while it has done much to advertise the town, and has been willing to respond to every call for its services, has been operated at a minimum of expense. Sponsored by the American Legion, it came into possession of some $200 worth of equipment that had belonged to the Legion's senior corps. A place was also provided for the youths to hold weekly practice and Legion men have given time to the task of direct ing. Most of this work has been done by C. A. Marshall, general director, and James Farnham, in charge of the bugle section. Inasmuch as the Legion funds do not permit of further support, the corps has been left pretty much to shift for themselvts so far as pur chase of equipment and getting to and from out-of-town engagements is concerned. Last year, the Korn Klub provided most of the funds for pur chase of the cloth, while Legion Auxil iary members and mothers of the dif ferent members gave time to making their present red and white capo and tarn style uniforms. Only recently, the Legion has been able to appro priate a small amount of money for replacement of broken drum heads, purchase of slicks, etc., as well as bear the expense of getting the boy3 to Omaha for the Mid-Ye3t Music fes tival, to Eoys Town for a playing en gagement end to Beatrice for the state Legion convention. There is a shortage of equipment, however, and most boys in the bugle section have had to purchase their own bugles. Then when thr y come of age where they drop out, they take the equipment with them, and new recruits are again faced with the same proposition. From this information, it is apparent that if the corps i3 to continue to function, it will be neces sary to raise a moderate sum for the purchase of such needed equipment. In conversation with Director Mar shall this week, v.e are advised there is need for the purchase of ten to twelve new bugles and that the bass drums are both owned by private in dividuals, the large size base drum that was handed down to them from the senior ccrp3 being too large for use by the smaller corps. The entire cost of new equipment needed will probably not exceed $50 to $75, and it would seem that if the organization is to be kept intact and made available to younger boy3 de siring to join now, even before some of the older boys drop out, some man ner can be devised of raising this small amount of money. The corps is to represent Platts mouth in a parade at the county fair Thursday afternoon and will be called into service all four days of the King Korn Karnival. They have practiced regularly ence a week dur ing the past year and both their play ing and drill work is far superior to that of last year. Competing against the finely organized corps of Iowa, Missouri and Nebraska at the recent musical festival in Omaha they were given higher rating than any Nebras ka Junior corps entered in the con test. Perhaps some plan can be worked out whereby the small amount of money needed to keep the organiza tion coiner can be raised, ior it is certain that money invested in boys' work and development of any kind is money well spent. WILL ATTEND SCHOOL From Saturday's Dall7 Herbert Minor, member graduating class of 1935 Plattsmouth high school, is of the of the leaving Sunday for Warrensburg, Missouri, where he will attend school this fall. He will enter the state teacher's col lege at Warrensburg, one of the best known colleges cf central Missouri. Mr. Minor had a high rank in the high school here and his many friends are pleased to learn that he is to continue his educational work. visits m CITY F. C. Conklin, of Linn, Kansas, who has been visiting in this city, has returned to his home after a pleasant stay here.

HDOCK IIEIS Mrs. George Worfc and tlie children were visiting over the week end at the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Tool, parents of Mrs. Work. Mrs. Mabel Bolden and daughter, of Weeping Water, were visiting at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Bauer over the week end. Frank Dean was not feeling very well last week and was not able to be at work a part of the time, but was somewhat better the latter part of the week. Emil Kuehn, who is farming at Fullerton, was a visitor in Murdock last week, looking after some busi ness matters for a day and also meet ing with his many old friend3 here. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Dean were at North Branch, where they attended the Roster-Mintenberg wedding, both contracting parties being residents of near Avoca and friends of the Dean family. Herman R. Schmidt has been en joying a visit from hi3 brother, An drew Schmidt, who resided in this neighborhood some fifty years ago, but has been making his home in the west ever since. Eddie Craig and wife were over to Beatrice last Sunday, where they at tended the family reunion of the B. C. Craig family, parents of Eddie. There were some twenty members of the family present and a most pleas ant time was had in spite of the fact that it rained most of the day. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Dean were gue3t3 Sunday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Corbin, parents of Mrs. Dean. They were accompanied by the children. While there, they met IT. P. Dehnning and wife, of Elmwood, and .Will Dehnning and wife, who were visiting there from their home at Big Springs in the western part of the state. "Miss Anna Berger, daughter of the late George L. Berger, who has been visiting at the home of her uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Bauer, for the past two weeks, went to Elmwood, where she is visiting for the present. Will Berger, a brother, and his wife, who reside in Omaha, came and visit ed for a short time at the Bauer home, taking Miss Anna with them for the visit at Elmwood, from whence they returned home and Miss Anna remain ed for a longer visit. Farming: on a Large Scale Henry Oehlerking has been en joying a visit from his brother, George Oehlerking and the latter's son-in-law and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Marshall, who make their home in the west, where they are en gaged in extensive wheat farming. They returned home last week, and later Joe Marshall, son of Mrs. Henry Oehlerking arrived for a visit at their home, continuing until today, when he, too, will return to their home in the west. In conversing with Joe, we learn that Charles Marshall is putting in 970 acres of wheat this fall, consider ably less than this year, when he had 1,400 acres. The high winds, however, blew out all but about 400 acres of the grain, and that was attacked by black rust and so produced a very poor yield. They are going after the proposition again, hopeful of having better luck next season. The matter of farming is a gamble with the ele mants and markets as well, frequent ly offering hazards far in excess of other forms of gambling. Visited in Omaha Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kupke were in Omaha last Sunday for a visit at the home of their daughter, Mrs. Martin Bohlson and family. No soon er had they arrived than it started to rain and continued throughout the day, the rain coming down in tor rents, which caused them to decide to remain over. They returned home Tuesday, well pleased at the longer visit they had enjoyed in the city. Still Feeling the Effects Henry Oehlerking, who had the misfortune to fall from a load of hay on July 23rd, injuring his shoulder and side, i3 now able to get about but unable to do much work as yet, ex cepi miming and like chores about the farm which he is able to do with 1 V . ins leu nana, we did not learn of the accident until last week, and now hasten to give our readers a report of same and the condition of Mr. Oeh lerking. Visited in the West Last Monday Bryan McDonald and wife, with their car, took Mrs. Han nah McDonald and Mrs. Henry A. Tool to Hampton, where they visited for a time at the home of ,Mr. and Mrs. Gale McDonald and later went on to Stratton, where they were guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. B. C. Jones and family. On that trip they were accompanied by Mrs. C. A. Be uack, a sister of Mesdames McDonald nd Tool.

Einal Cutting cf Alfalfa Gust Gakemcier was busy during the past week getting in his alfalfa, so as to get all the benefit of what rain3 might come, leaving the prepa ration of ground for his winter wheat until this week.

Have a Fine New Ford V-8 Last Monday evening, as Mr. and Mis. A. J. Tool were returning from a trip to Omaha and the rain wan coming down in sheets, making it difficult to see where one was driv ing, another car driven under tho same handicap, swatted the car of Mr. and Mrs. Tool, wrecking it so badly, making it difficult to drive. Tho occupants of neither car were injur ed, however, beyond a slight shaking up. Getting at the matter of having the car fixed up, Mr. Tool found it would be an expensive job and upon being made an offer by the dealer to trade in the wrecked car and take a new one, he scratched his head for a moment and said "Yes." So that is how the Tools come to be sporting a bran new 1935 Ford V-8 coach. Mr. Tool says he considers it the equal of any car manufactured. Village Board Meeting.
