THURSDAY, JUNE 1, 1916. PLATTSMOUTH SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL. PAGE r. ALVO NEWS ITEMS Bulletin No. 2 A PHDaiL m DOT Why We Are Opposing A Government Armor Plant ON: mil To the People: Some people say that the very fact that the Bethlehem Steel Company is so aggressively fighting the proposal to build a Government armor plant is conclusive proof that the Company is seeking to assure for itself the "vast profits" derived from private manufacture. The fact is that armor making is the least profitable feature of steel manufacture. The reason we oppose a Government plant is very simple. It is this: Even though there is but little profit in the making of armor, we have invested over . $7,000,000 in our armor plant; That plant is useless for any other purpose; if a Government plant is built the useful ness of our plant is destroyed. It would be pood business for us to make armor for the Govern ment at any price over and above the actual shop cost, RATHEU THAN SACRIFICE OUR ENTIRE INVESTMENT. t ' ' ' ' " We do not seek to save big profits; our purpose is very frankly to save our armor plant itself built solely for the use of the Government from going to the scrap heap. To To that, yp are prepared to agree for any period to any terms of manufacture which the Federal Trade Commission shall say absolutely protects the Government of the United States. CHAS. M. SCHW AB.

Mon day, May 22, Grand Prairie had a picnic in remembrance of the closing time of school. They invited the Mur dock high school to be present and enjoy the ice cream and another game of baseball, to which they heartily responded. In fact, they had another new player, which greatly aided them in winning. The game was largely attended and it was interesting from beginning to end. Many class yells were exchanged on the grounds. The little folks under the fifth grade at Grand Prairie were smart little yell masters for the home team. The score stood 13 to 4 in Grand Prairie's favor for the second time. After the game the high school pupils were entertained at ice cream, which was a fine refreshment for the defeated high school team.
