Mf IITESLST speaks all sorts of tongues and plays all sorts of parts, even
& that of disinterestedness." La Rochefoucauld was right. Interest
is the ever increasing rolling snowball of money. Interest grows
fat upon what it feeds. Interest is never an idle fellow, but he is best
when let alone. GET INTERESTED IN INTEREST. Some INTER
ESTING FIGURES about what INTEREST WILL DO for the asking.

As a Woman Sees It.
A few of ho points made by
Mrs. .Melville in the paper written
on "Why There Should bo a
Mother on the School Hoard:"
( I i Tho view point of a woman
is different from a man's, so in
interest, of the child, women as
well as men are needed on the
school board. ( J' Heeauso moth
er interest is needed in the man
agemenl of 'ho affairs of Ihe
school. (.! Women more oflen
have tho necessary time o visit
the schools and do tin1 required
work for the best interest of Ihe
school. ( 5 ' The housekeeping
end of school management is of
vital interest to a mother, .-uch
as sanitation, heating, lighting
and ventilation. (.V A woman
on the school board can do much
lo brim:- about a closer co-operation
between patron and the
school. (' r ' Then more than half
of the scholars are -'irls and
about seven-tenths of our in
structing force are women. Thorr
needs to be someone on the school
board who understands the wom
an's side of the problems to pre
sent theni properly. ' Ther
should be someone on the board
lo whom the teachers may
with freedom and talk over Ihe
affairs which they could not talk
of so freely wilh men and who
would understand the girl nature
better than men. ('7 Xalhaniel
Butler of the Chicago university
has said 'T should go so far as lo
feel that no board of education
was properly coii-t it ut ed thai did
not nave m its mcmhorship one
or more of the mothers of the
community." Mr. Delell. th
state superintenlent. says: '"My
experience has been that women
make very ei'irient members on a
school board."
A woman is ineligible Jo vote.
even at a school election, unb
she is a mother and pays taxes.
Harmony should prevail in its
entirety among the parents who
are interested in the construction
of the new school room. Tho
members of Ihe school board wh
started the new building proposi
tion should bo left alone until the
building is completed and ready
for use.
Genial Hilly Hamilton wa:
visiting in Plattsmouth Friday
He has many friends in that cilv
who are always glad to see him
Fee Oldham was visiting his
brother, George Oldham, and sis
tor, Mrs. Dora Moore, in Plat Is
mouth Saturday. He also took
advantage of the opportunity ti
I -1 1 numerous omer lriends in

Mrs. H. D. Churchill of Kim-
herly, Idaho, came in Thursday t
spend the summer wilh Murray
and Plattsmouth relatives. Mrs
Churchill is a sister of Mrs. W. S
Holmes, Mrs. C. A. Hawls am
James Holmes.
Members of the M. W. A. art
hereby notified to attend a meet

candiales to initiate and other
important business to transact.
Mrs. W. S. Smith and Mrs. Ozro
Virgin entertained the Missionary
society at the home of the latter

ant afternoon was spent and those
present tendered Mesdames Smith
and Virgin a vole of thanks for
the royal manner in which they
were entertained.
Mrs. Sherlev ami two youngest
children of Lincoln came down
last Thursday to assist hoi
brother, H. A. Hoot, in putting up
cherries, and also to enjoy a visit.
Mr. Roofs trees were tilled to
overflowing wilh some of the
largest and finest cherries we
have seen this season.
If the present school directors
building will progress nicely. The
building yill progress nicely. The
present directory is composed of
gentlemen who are hustlers, and
will constantly have their eyes on
the work until the entire building
is completed and ready for use.
Could others do more?
Dr. H. V. Hrendel and bis
brother, Dr. J. F. Hrendel, who is
visiting here from Zionsville, Ta.,
boarded the train here Wednesday
for Avoca, to spend the day wilh
Dr. Will Hrendel, returning home
in the evening via Nehawka, at.
which place they were met by Dr.
J. F. Hrendel, jr., and brought
homo in the auto.
DON'T CHANGE.
The illustrious Lincoln once
said, "Don't swap horses in the
middle of a stream." This maxim
holds good regarding the hi-ih
school building committee. This
committee has gone through some
diliicult problems in the financing
and plans of construction of our
new school building. There are
more diliicult ipieslions to moot.
One experienced in finance must
be retained upon this board; we
cannot afford to break tile work
ing harmony of the commit ' eo.
F.aeh member is familiar with lii
details of all concerning the con
struction of this building. The
financial section of the committee
has been the nio( strenuous part
to till. There are diliicult situa
tions yet to bo met. Tho writing
of a check for the new school
building is a purile consideration
of the question. A mother on the
choid board is an ideal one. Xo
one muld oppose her at any other
time. Wo are all in favor of the
principles inculcated in the doc
trine of eipial sulTrage and Hi1
clowning- sheaf in the hnrve-t of
political principles will be when
woman's voice in the ail'airs of
this great republic is weighed in
Ihe balance wilh that of man's.
This is not a political issue. Ii
is a good place to use common
reason. Ask one of the building
commiflee and you will find that
they will oppo-e having il- order
disrupted.
Rev. Ililchman, pastor of Ihe
United Presbyterian church in
ihi- village, has presented his
