Tiik present legislature is absolutely

One good way to make a good town
Is for everybody to get out and push.
Plattsmouth is full of good pushers.
Ijet us get out and push.
There is just one way to achieve suc

to procure a good product, and push it
by good advertising. Not all advestis

done will bring success.

A GOOD CONGRESSMAN
Representative and Mrs. Pollard had
expected to start for their home im
mediately after inauguration, but will
be detained probably two weeks. Their
little son has been taken down with
measles, of which there are several
thousand cases in Washington at pres
ent. His case is not dangerous, but is
by no means mild. Lincoln Journal.
The First District never had a con
gressman, who did more real practical
service to his district than Congress
man E. M. Pollard. This district is
purely an agricultural district, and Mr.
Pollard procured the sending of experts
from the Agricultural Department into
theorcatds and fields to demonstrate
by practical application how to protect
the crops and obtain the best results.
These experts were not mere book
farmers, but practical experimentalists,
who had fully tested the experiments
before giving them to the farmers. The
benefits derived must last for years.
Thousands, tens of thousands of dol
lars, are expended each year, in each
county, in the district, in repairing and
maintaining public roads. Mr. Pollard
procured experts on the subject of good
road to be sent from the Agricultural
Department to teach those interested
and those who should be interested,
how to build and maintain good roads,
at a minimum cost to the taxpayers.
These experts were not mere theorists,
but actual and practical experts in
road building. We fear that in some
instances those who should have pro
fited most, failed to appreciate the
advice given by these experts. Every
farmer in this county knows that much
advancement in the method of building
and niaintaintinggood roads is certainly
needed.
No congressman in the history of the

If the solons of Lincoln intend to

CASS COUNTY INTERURBAN
SYSTEM.
An interurban railway through Cass
county would be of vast value to the
farmers. Where is the farmer today,
who would dispense with the rural mail
service, or with the farmers' telephone.
These two services have added much to
the market value of the farms of this
county, and an interurban railway
would add vastly more. Where is the
farm that would not be greatly en
hanced in value if there was. an inter
urban railway running past his door.
The modern interurban is not only a
passenger carrier, but is rapidly be
coming freight carriers. The freight
cars used on the modern interurban
railway, easily have a carrying cap
acity equal to the freight cars on the
b team railroads in the early days.
Many persons living in this country
will remember that only a few years
ago in some parts of the country there
were railroads known as narrow gauge
roads. The interurban railway freight
carrying capacity is even greater than
those early railroads.
Suppose for illustration an inter
urban railway in this county was built
connecting the towns of Eagle, Elm
wood, Alvo, Greenwood, Murdock and
Manley with Weeping Water, and th?n
a line was rim from Mauley to Murray,
and another line from Plattsmouth to
Union arranged so that on , all of the
lines between all the towns thus con-
