BETTER GOME ALONG!
BOSENGRANS
One of the finest residences in Cass
county has just been completed at
Weeping Water, where the new home
of Bert Jameson is now ready for
occupancy. This home is one that Mr.
Jameson and family can take a great
pride in as it is complete in every way
and modern throughout. The work
on the house has been carried out by
A. B. Smith of this city and the work
manship is of the usual high class
order that characterizes the ccntract
ing of Mr. Smith. The owner of the
house feels that he has one of the
neatest and most up-to-date homes
in the county and one in which he
can take a just pride. Mr. Jameson
is one of the leading residents of our
neighboring city and believes in hav
ing a home that is strictly up to the
minute with all the modern conven
iences. Mr. Smith has built a large
number of homes throughout the
county and in all cases there has been
the greatest of satisfaction expressed
over his splendid work.
El Paso, Tex., SVpt. 2L Agents
have been sent into every de facto
garrison in Chihuahua state by Pan-
cho Villa in an attempt to undermine
the garrisons and stir up revolts
against First Chief Carranza. Two
emissaries working on the Juarez gar
rison were caught today by General
Gonzales and are being held in. jail.
By Carranza officials it is feared this
is the first step by the bandit chief
toward a threatened attack upon bor
der towns.
From natives fleeing from the vi
cinity of Chihuahua City, Washington
secret service men today obtained an
other authentic report spread by Villa
after the Chihuahua City battle.
"In fifteen days after the 'gringo'
army leaves Mexico, I'll be in posses
sion of Chihuahua City and contro
the entire state of Chihuahua," the
bandit chief is said to have declared
Changes Attitude.
Refugees interviewed by Uniteii
states agents declare mat villa ap
parently has changed his attitude to
ward Americans. They state his men
say they were given instructions be
fore the Chihuahua battle not to harm
Americans or establishments owned
by them.
Despite declarations by Carranza
authorities that military columns are
vigorously pursuing Villa and his fol
lowers, an official Carranzista state
ment issued late today places Villa
only twenty-two miles outside the
capital of Chihuahua.
Construction of trenches outside
Juarez, in preparation for a possible
Villista attack, was started this after
noon by the garrison.

their new home at Red Cloud, Neb.,
after a residence of three years in

great many warm friends whose re
gret at their leaving was most pro

that the parting with the friends was
soon to take place and the members
of the church took the occasion to
wish the genial pastor and his wife
happiness and success in their new
home. During the evening a short
informal program was given consist

esteem and a remembrance of the
happy days in Plattsmouth the ladies
of the aid society presented Mrs. Dru
liner with a fine set of silver. knives
and forks that will serve as a re
minder of the old friends back in
Plattsmouth. It was a late hour when
the members of the party wended
their way .homeward wishing Rev. and
Mrs. Druliner good luck in the west
ern part of the state where they have
been called to carry on the church
work.

Answered by Colorado Bankers
AUGUST 1916
On August 21, 1916, a letter was sent by the Chairman of the Dry Federation of
Plattsmouth to 36 banks in cities in Colorado, having from 3,000 to 10,000 popula
tion, asking for an answer to the question: "Will you give me your unprejudiced
opinion of the effect of prohibition on business and finance."
The Rocky Ford National Bank, of Rocky Ford, Colorado, answered:
"Parties who fought to keep the saloons, in this city a few years ago; would
fight equally as hard to keep them out, at this time, having seen and realized the
benefits of prohibition." 1
The First National Bank, of Greeley, Colorado, answered:
"Business better, everybody happy, 1 50 le,ss inmates in our State Penitentiary,
and the warden says it is directly traceable to prohibition. Undesirable characters
have moved to liquor states, and they are welcome to them. Denver merchants and
business men who feared effect on business are strong for it now, and if voted on
again would carry by twice the majority given for it before, in my judgment.'
The Grand Valley National Bank, of Grand Junction, Colorado, answered:
"Our observation is that it is a decided advantage from the business stand
point. Through the grocery houses we learn that the store accounts'are better taken
care of and that the people are better fed and better clothed. It is our opinion that
our people in this territory would not, under any circumstances, go back to saloons."
i f
Longmont National Bank, of Longmont, Colorado, answered:
"I am not personally a radical prohibitionist or prejudiced in the matter one way
cir another, but from a business standpoint, I am sure a country community is better
off without liquor in their midst. I have had occasion to talk with the management
f 1 C . n J J:T . .. .1 .! l'iT-
ui ci iiuuiuci ui utjic-is in Lnivci uiiu cimerem iesorcs over ine cJiatc several airreient mr
times, and they seem to all be enthused about the new prohibition amendment, and I
do not think there is any danger of this State ever going back to saloons again. I am JC
certain your State would make no mistake in voting' State Wide Prohibition."
The Peoples' Home'Bank, Rock Fordy, Colorado, answered:
"It has .been a good thing for Colorado, as the people are paying their debts
better since Colorado has been dry."
Sheriff Alexander Nisbet, of Denver, Colorado, says:
"Let me tell you another thing, the "can rusher," the old soak who came home,
with a quarter in his pocket and sent his 8:year-old ragged, barefooted girl to the
saloon for a can of beer and then tossed her a crust of bread, while he swiggled the
beer and snarled at her through his drunkenness is no longer a resident of Denver."
