i PAGE 2. PLATTSMOUTH SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1917. Watch This vwv vn viv "----- J. IN PLATTSMOUTH 4- FORTY YEARS AGO. 5- V i'iu'iiTm1! Thomas Evans of St. Joe, once, of this place, is visiting us anil can laugh as heartily and tell as good a story as ever. Mrs. Cox of Kansas City, a relative of Mrs. C. H. I'armele and Miss Bak er, and a former resident of this city, is visiting her relatives here. Charley Clapp of Stove Creek was in town Monday and Tuesday. Char ley is said to be a candidate for coun ty clerk, and will have Stove Creek solid in the convention. Mr. T. J. Todd and wife have re turned from their loner visit east, both looking: very much better for their trip and it seems natural and good to see the old gentleman around again. Miss Emma Herold returned from Glenwood last week, where she had ben visiting' friends, jn company with Mis? Lultj Austin, who is still stop ping at that place. Miss Ola Barnes left Sunday aft ernoon for Mount Pleasant, la., where she will attend the Musical college the coming winter. On our road to Weeping Water the other day, we observed that our old friend, James Hall, is building him self a very cozy, substantial farm house and home. With a nice avenue of trees, by and by leading to the house, James will have one of the prettiest places in Cass county. Tuesday morning Peter Bates and his partner, Chris Kohnke, made up their minds they were not satisfied with their shop room down town they wanted more room and further up town. In ten minutes after this conclusion the lumber was hauled onto a lot on Seventh and Main street, be longing to Dr. Schildknecht, which they had rented, and before night the outskirts of a very respectable car jenter shop were completed, and yes terday they finished it. That's pretty lively work . The Liedcrkranz. At their hall on Monday evening, there assembled a very largo crowd, among whom were seen the members of the Omaha Mannerchoir, consisting -f the following: Bolkhoff, president; John Baumer, vice president; Simon Hoffmann, leader; B. Orkhoff, H. Kras burg, Charles Krell. W. Mack, Ed Wirth, William Wechbach, John Lutz. The hall was handsomely decorated with evergreens, and with mottoes (printed in German) encircled with green leaves and sprigs of cedar. At the rear of the hall, was the greeting, "Wilikommen!" While on either side were three more, as follows: "Wer nicht licbt Wein, Wcib und Gtsang, Dsr blcidt ein Narr scin Lebelang." "Eintraeht und Liebe!"' "Frohusinn und Sehorz!" ''Wo man singt, da kisz dkh ruhig nieder; Eoese Mensclun haben keine Licdcr'." "Einigkeit macht stark!" "Eintiacht, Fiiede, Freude ur.d Ce sang, Eegleite dich dein Lebelar.g!" "The band discoursed sweet inu.-ic, after which the . Plattsmouth class gave a glorious song, followed by the Omaha class. Mr. OxwaM Guthmann delivered a little speech, don't know what about, something about. "e sang" and "Lebetong," for which lie received cheers. Then ow: sang another song, which was followed by a laughable declamation by Mr. Ga briel Rasgersheck. and though wc couldn't understand it, we laughed, because all the rest of the Germans did. It was something about a boot black, whose master offered him "zwei Thaler" (S2) if he would shine his boots without drinking a glass of "Schnaps," which stood on the table After smelling of it several times, he couldn't control his appetite, and down went the "Schnaps." Then followed song, music and trip ping of the light fantastic, till the "wee sma' hours." GREAT SPECIAL SALE AT DOVEY'S STORE Elsewhere in this issue of the Jour nal will be found the announcement of the great automobile contest sale that is to be held at the store of E. G. Dovey & Son for nineteen days, commencing on Saturday, February 3d, and closing on Saturday, Ferurary 24. The stock of $35,000 worth- of the best goods on the market will be of fered to the public at very low prices during this time and will afford a splendid opportunity to the shoppers to secure bargains at this sale. A ueautiful Ford touring car will be given away absolutely free during the contest sale to the man or woman, church or society, bry or girl, receiv ing the largest number of votes. These votes will be given with each cash purchase and on all sums paid on account, and gives someone a splendid chance to secure a fine auto mobile in a very easy manner with only a small amount of rustling on the part of the contestant. This old established firm carries one of the finest lines of goods of any store in this section of the state and at the prices offered they certainly should be taken advantage of by the shopper who is seeking to save money and re duce the high cost of living, and at the same time affords semeone an op portunity of securing a fine Ford car.

Community development and inter est is one of the questions that at present is being taken up all over the country, in both city and rural com munities and one of the bright young teachers of this county has given the following very able article on this .spirit of community development: '"A community, like an individual must grow better by a closer and more intimate knowledge of the things immediately surrounding it. It must grow til rough a bigger, broader view of the obligations of life. "A community fails to grow when the average of its citizens fail to grasp the spirit of progress, so a com- muiiity is not bettered by better con ditions environing a few homes, bu by the better conditions environing the many the average homes. "And even when a community has better homes it hasn't all it must have bettter churches, better schools and the extension of the educational thought in manv directions before it reaches the high point of community development and efficient community spirit. It must have lectures, librar ies, sermons, amusements, sports am; all of the things in an educational way that make men and women big ger and better and help to throw off the cares of life and enjoy its bles sings. "The individual in a community who fails to encourage better schools who is opposed to better roads, who refuses to support the Chautauqua, who takes no interest in the demon strations on the farm, who fails to atttnd church and support the preach er, who neglects to encourage the teacher, who forgets to subscribe and pay for the home paper, who fails to show his appreciation of the better cattle, hogs and horses he who knocks the home town and the local merchant he who docs any or all of these things lacks community spirit "Community spirit is the nation's best asset when applied in the practi cal way, and like religion it becoms better the more one works at it. I is for seven flay living, and not for day living alone." INCUBATORS AT WHOLESALE.
