PASSING IF II unu RED SCHOOL
t
F HUB
No One WXo Seriously Studies the Change Being Wrauit in the
Educational Plan of the Country Will View the Coming of This
Larger and Better Country School With MuchJVery Alarm.
Only a short time now until the
old dinner pails will be scrubbed
up once more and filled with
bread-and-jelly, pie, apples and
perhaps a bit of cold chicken, and
the youngsters will trudge merrily
away 'to the llrst day of school.
The Jjy of the early days '-of vaca
tion ahree months ago, the hard
work of the- summer, and all the
pan-R's felt by those wtio believed
Ihey should have been allowed to
cal! iheir education finrfhed before
the beginning of this -school term
will be forgotten in the joys of re
Hiion, the securing of teat-males,
the perusal of the daily program,
the assignment to classes and,
la-t-t, but not leis't, the "sizing up1"
of the new teacher under carefully
critical, and frequently anylhirjg
'.but friendly, ryes.
Throughout the west, as iin
: other parts if the United Statr-s,
'the "little red sc'fclolhouse,', i-s

at night, is rapidly crowding out
'the district schools of foiTm-r

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

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.

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. His

f routed with the .circumstanccH he
slAitly 4-enied having had any
thing to cHo with the burglary.
Tlie building was entered from
the alley by pryiK oir the iron
bar at tb window, llcsides the

colored the refrigerator and se
cured Home meat, n two packages
were wrapiwd up and laid careful

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

and the men charged wild break

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.

THE "BACK 10 IHE
IF
from Wednesday's liiilly.
The following is Ihe
paragraph in ihe speech
delivered in congress
John A. 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."
