BUSINESS MEtl OF PLATTSMOUTH MAKE 1 Make a Run of About Fifty Miles PLEASAtt Sister County, Who Seemed Very Much Impressed With the Inducements Advanced for Coming to Plattsmouth to Trade More Such Trips Should Be Made. From Wednesday' Daily. The following twelve members of (he l'lattsniouth Commercial clvib, in three automobiles owned by C. C. Parmele. T. II. Pollock and J. E. Mclaniel. toured the southeast part of Sarpy county yesterday, returning about 2:30 p. m. Those who went were: T. II. Pollock,' "tieorge Falter, (leorge K. liovcy, vTohn Halt, J. P. Falter, C. C. Parnele, J. K. McDaniel, Pol lock 1'armele, Michael llild, J. A. Chopi'evka, John McNurlin and Sam Shoemaker. TV parly made a run of about fifty 'miles, and met one hundred area twenlly-tlve farmers, all of wh'iin were quite anxious to take advantage of the proposition of uniting Plattsmouth before Sep 'iomber llrst. The farmers inter viewed were not backward in say ing that they would prefer to trad in a town the size of Platsmouth (ban one the size of Omaha; the reason given was that Ihey could meet the merchant and deal with linn direct, 'hile in Omaha they never got beyond the clerk. Each farmer's name was taken BROKE INTO KUNSM1 8 Rfi'iOE'S MEAT 1RKET Louis Kuhney and Art Jacoby Ar rested as the Guilty Parties to the Crime. ! Wibr'siliiy'g DaKy.

The strongest in cident pointing lo Kuhney''s guilt was bis frhocs, which were found in I he mieal Market, aiwl when the olllc.er mm firm led him with the crrcuriKlance he Dually itdmilted that be was one of the fellows who bnke inb.i the marlet.

Tlie building was entered from the alley by pryiK oir the iron bar at tb window, llcsides the mori4y taUn the burglars had colored the refrigerator and se cured Home meat, n two packages were wrapiwd up and laid careful ly on the floor. Thin is about, the Ihird time (he Kunsmann & llamge market has Imvh broken into, and Ihe occurrence is becoming a little bit irritating to the ilnn, ami it is probable that the accused men will have a chance to reflect on Ihe effects of their misdeed while doing time in the penitentiary. Moth men were taken before Acting Counly Attorney Hale Hovles and their statements taken down. Complaints will be tiled and the men charged wild break ing and entering the market in the night, season, inlending to steal money and properly. Their preliminary will probably take place tomorrow morning. Good Farm for Sale. Eighly acres in same section in which Murray is located; good improvements; acres in native, pasture, with plenty of water; some alfalfa, and balance under cultivation. Known as the Mor row place. For particulars ad dress Mrs. A. Morrow, SewnH, Neb. and Meet Many Farmers of Our down and he was given a two-way bridge ticket for wagon and team or auloiiiolnie, jusl as tie prelor- red. Every farmer that the parly met was enthusiastic over tho prospect of visiting Plattsmouth. Some of them had been here al ready and liked their treatment by the merchants splendidly. The, party confined their visit to th- territory nearest Plattsmoulli, the furthest farmer called itpou be ing not over twelve miles from, this city. The merchants in the parly ex pressed themselves as well, pleas ed with their day's work, and aro firmly of the opinion that a lit He time and effort expended in this direction will create an interest among the farmers of Sarpy coun ty which will be mutually bene ficial to them and the mercantile interests of Plattsmouth. These trips should be niado every week in different directions. Visit Mills county, Iowa, and go out in the west part of our own county. While the weather is. good and the roads in splendid( shape it is nn easy mater lo make these trips, and the farmers will' always be glad lo welcomo them. Decorate Kenosha Church.

Maguire, when proprial.ioi hill for Ihe closing recently by Hon. the ap-depart- ineiit of agriculture was before, Ihe house: "We bear much of the 'back-lo-I he-farm' movement, and while as yet this is more of n hope than a realization, still Ihe agricultural betterment will do more than all else to turn back the tide of those who have their faces turned away from the soil and toward the com mercialism of the cilies. The rush from the farms is due to tho attractions of the cities, llefore the restoration of the equilibrium is approached Ihe allractions of Ihe cily must be made in a larger way the inducements of the coun try. Menus of communication ami' travel are doing much U improve ami make more inviting Hie sur roundings of rural life. The tele phone, Ihe rural delivery, heller roads, improved farm machinery, heller sanitation, and the instal lation of modern conveniences in Ihe home and household, use of iiiof or power, admission of coun try children to village schools, are all eliminating many of the objec tions to country life nml con tributing lo Ihe 'back-tu-the-farm' movement. We also hear much Ihese days about Ihe high cost of living. This movement away from Ihe farm has con tributed no small amount, to (lie cost of living, and it must remain relatively high till the relation be tween tho producer and consumer is belter established, r am in favor of liberal appropriations for m-TicuIlure and feel ( li.it Ibis con gress is in full sympathy wild its importance. An industry em bracing, directly or indirectly, Ihe welfare of every citizen of Ihe re public I know will receive liberal treatment at. your bands." Home grown alfalfa sale. A. L.
