PHONE 294 FRITZ RADIO SERVICE GAMBLE STORE ' ilMina m0 DEMAND CONCRETE FOR ALL ARTERIAL STREETS The experience of hundreds of cities proves these facts about the merit of concrete for build ing arterial streets: 1. Concrete is lower in first cost than any other paving mate rial of comparable quality. 2. Concrete is by far the most eco nomical type of surface to main Plittsmouth's oldest concrete street is now in its 14th year of service. Why not investigate this pavement? Ride over it and note that the surface has remained true and even and that it shows little wear, then ask your city officials for facts on annual maintenance costs. This study will show that this old street was a good investment. Concrete paving is an even better "buy" today PORTLAND CEMENT ASSOCIATION 321 Terminal Bldg., Lincoln, ebr.

Between the hours of 2 and 5 o'clock Sunday after noon, Mr. Propst, despite the inclem ency of the weather, shook hand after hand until he could shake no more. Despite his age, he is well in Lealth and many were the hands that passed to and from his. Sitting in his home this morn ing, still opening letters and tele grams, he was as robust and good natured as a young man of twenty. Ele showed no signs of weariness from having passed eighty-five year :;tones and had a greeting as re freshing as a pineapple sundae on a hot afternoon. Mr. Propst is quite thankful to those friends that remembered him on his eighty-fifth anniversary and for every wish cf continued happi ness that was extended to .him, he replies with a "Same to you." Coming here in 1920, Mr. Propst has been an active civic worker and booster of Lake Worth. A farmer in his younger life, he still has '.he frood nature that becomes one who has done something and done it well. Despite his age, he has a soft spot in his heart for those who are less fortunate than himself. Only this morning he contributed to the health of a family which he knew not at jail, of which he had no knowledge lother than that they were in need oi aid and for which his one thought was that "even if I don't know them. jl'd like to do something for them." -Lake Worth (Fla.) Leader. HUNTERS TAKE TO THE ROAD Sunday, with its ideal weather, saw a general exodus of the hunt ers of both pheasants and ducks and geese from the city. "Hunters' widows and children" were largely the population of the city after dusk Saturday. The pheasant hunters from this locality largely sought their shooting in the northeast part of the state and also along the Da kota border. Knox, Cedar. Wayne. Pierce, wer among the most popular counties for the hunters, altho a number sought the game in Custer, Buffalo and other counties farther west Hunters report the birds plenti ful and a great many of the hunters were able to get their limit in a few moments of shooting. Hunters along the Missouri river apparently far outnumbered the elu sive ducks and from the array of -juns from the blinds it resembled the Siegfried line. Large Hocks of ducks going south wisely flew at a height well out of range of the hunters.
