PAQE SIX PLATTSMOUTH SEMI - WEEKLY JOURNAL MONDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1937. MONGREL. ALOOF IN LONG, FREE LIFE AT PRISON LAN'SINU. Kas.. (UP) Fifteen years ago a Mongrel pup wandered up to the RatfH of the Kansas Rtat? prison lier. A tram of horses, pull Inp a wagon, emerged and the pup elected to follow thein. Today, the dog still aceorjpanla the horses everywhere. It sleeps with them In their stalls at the prison ham. The dog Is blind In one eye now, badly scarred from numerous fmMs nnd has acquired th! name, of I'eedie. Peedle Is old nnd rheumatic nnd rnn't trot with the horses, but he jroes on trips with them, anyway. The dog rides in the driver's seat. I'eedie is not like other dogs. He doesn't mingle with the dogs which wait for release of their convict mas ters outside the g.itcH and he keeps them from coming near the horses. I'eedie used to be self-sustaining, rustling his own food, but he's too old for that now nnd Is fed with ficrups from the prison dining room. mm 1.1 mfnt m Our Fall Food Festival Continues Ad for Plattsmouth, Tuesday and Wednesday, Oct. 12 and 13 Thompson Seedless RAISINS Van Camp's Pork & Beans EJc I -lb. cans 91 CLP Choice Blue Rose RICE or NAVY BEANS 3-lb.

ATter several delays. It is expected definite ur ruiiKementa for the trip as guests of the Portland Cement association rep reFcntatlve In this territory, will be concluded nt Monday night's meet Injf of the council. This type of paving, laid with WPA labor nnd material costs borne by property owners, cost much less than that laid under straight con tract jobs in the old manner, and Is said to be equal in every way if not superior. It consists of wet mix con crete poured over a crushed rock bnse and then "vibrated" to fill all the avoids. The resultant slab Is ap proximately eight lnthes In thick ness and test cores prove a closer texture concrete than non-vibrated cores. There are some property owners in Plattsmouth who would like to hnve paving In front of their prop erties nnd any such who might de- Bire to go to Tecumseh or Nebraska City to Inspect it being laid, should communicate with Mayor Lushinsky at once. Teeumeeh is now on Its third con tract, Involving" n total of some 65 blocks, we nre told. Nebraska City Is also preparing to let Its second con tract for a much lesser amount. A TRIBUTE Plattsmouth, Nebr., October 7, 1937. On returning home to our little city after an absence of over thirty days, I missed a familiar and well loved figure from our streets, and am told that Dr. T. P. Livingston has gone away to respond to his last call, and I cannot help feeling lonely. A long time, and highly valued friendship prompts a personal tri bute to thi3 good and useful citizen. For more than half a century Dr. Llvlncston with medicine case in hand has dally and nightly traveled along the streets and over the hills of our city in response to calls to alleviate suffering. No night has been too dark, no days has been too bleak, or stormy: no home too humble to deter him from answering calls of distress. In answer to such calls he has crossed the threshold of nearly every home in Plattsmouth, and continued faithful to the respon sibility assumed, as long as medical skill could avail. It is a well known fact that he rarely, If ever presented a bin ror nis services, and oy giving his time, skill and actual money value In surrender of fees dearly earned, lie has contributed to the community more worthy charity than any other person or association: and never complained. He may have had some weaknesses and faults so have we all. We all well known that abso lute perfection is no heritage of hu man kind, but let us hope nnd be lieve, we DO hope and believe that the Great Divine Chemist who with gold from the dross of human life, found an abundance of gold In the life of Dr, T. P. Livingston to be assembled into a crown of glory, and that he rests In peace in that Realm where there Is no suffering or pain. A FRIEND. WILL UNDERGO TREATMENT Edward Iiashus. one or the local World war, veterans, is at the U. S. Veterans' hospital at Lincoln where, he Is undergoing treatment. Mr. Dashus has suffered a great deal in the past few weeks as the result of an affliction of his limbs that has made it impossible for him to look after his work and difficult to get around. RETURN HOME From Saturday's Daily Mr. and Mrs. Ed Corneal and sons, Willis and Arnold, of Dunnegar., Mis souri, returned home this morning after a very pleasant week here with enkarnp and at whose home they were Corneal and Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Wet enkamp an dat whoso home they were guests. They had a very fine visit and were able to meet a great many of the local people. CORN YIELDS GOOD Early corn shucking reports indi cate mat a great many ileitis are going to yield approximately 30 bushels of corn per acre. Think of the crops of the last few years and the condition existing farther west in the state and be, thankful for the Infinite love so accurately sifts the good yield being received here.

F. Parker, Weeping Water, Herbert Oehlerking and Ralph Krause, or Elmwood, were hero to complete the arrangements for the Cass county corn shucking contest.

The committee also took the mat ter up with officers of the Platts mouth Business Men's Ad club rela tive to prizes for the shuekers- and this organization of business men will plan some trophies to be awarded the winners.
