HOME FROM COLORADO.
After a month absence Mrs.
A. Taylor, who has been at Steam
boat Springs, Colorado, where she
has been visiting at the home of her
laughter, returned home last Satur
day evening, and says "It seems good
to be back to old Plattsmouth. Not
that I did not enjoy myself, while I
was away, but Plattsmouth looks
good to me. While at Steamboat
Springs, I saw it so cold that it
froze water at nights, but did not
seem to hurt the vegitation, for we
continually had on the table straw
berries, raddishes. young onions, and
all kinds of garden truck. The oats
which are not cut yet, but are being
harvested is rank green, and nearly
four feet high. Mr. Furlong will
soon move to Denver, as the alti
tude of Steamboat Springs is too
great for his wife's health. It being
S.uoo feet, above sea level, or three
thousand feet higher than Denver.
At Pedrona, on the Moffit road, over
which I traveled, the altitude is over
1.1,000 feet and the highest point of
anv American road."
CALL THE BOYS FOR SIXTH.
Saturday, as many as desired,
were allowed of the "Dandy Sixth"
to go to their homes with leave un
til five o'clock, Sunday evening,
which was a prediction that the regi
moiit would move in the near fu
ture. Many of the boys who joined
from this place came home and, dur
ing the night, were called back to
Omaha to report at six yesterday
morning. Automobiles were going
all night to round up the boys, and
get them back to Omaha in time to
report. Yesterday morning two
coach loads of troops went south
over the Burlington passing here on
th.e early morning train.

It. YV. Benson and wife, of Karl-
ham. Iowa, who have been visiting
in the city for the past few days,
guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Mark lies, they being the parents of
Mrs. lies, departed for their home
this morning. Speaking of the

en up and those who are not off
the street, when the curfew blows,
will be taken in charge by the offi
cerstind if, when they are sent
home' and continue to come and stay
on the streets with no reason for it
but to loaf and cannot be kept at
liorne will be kept somewhere else.

VERY ENJOYABLE OUTING.
Fred W. Nolting. wife and two
daughters. Grace and Ellen. have
just returned from a very enjoyable
trip to the north, where they visit
ed a number of former Cass county
families, all of whom are prospering.
They first went to Carlock, South
Dakota, where they visited at the
home of Mrs. Nolting's brother,
August Steppat. and who lives just
two miles from William Steppat
another brother, who is in Nebraska.
and whose postoflice is Mills. Here
the weather was a little dry, and
as a conseqhence the crops were not
as good as they would have been
with plenty of rain. The crops
were very good, considering the
conditions. Returning they stopped
at Creighton, where they visited at
the homes of Jacob Horn and John
Schaefer, who both formerly lived
here. Here the rain had been more
abundant and the crops consequent
ly better. Mrs. Nolting in speaking
of the crops in this region, said "I
never" seen such crops as they have
there" which is good news for the
many friends of the former citizens
of Cass county.
PUSSEY WANTS A CORNER.
Mae N. Creamer ''recently pur
chased the residence of Mrs. H. D.
Travis in which Dr. T. J. Flynn has
been' living; he then had to look
for a home, and purchased the Pres
byterian Manse. This put Rev. Mc
Cluskey out and the board then pur
chased the south one of the two
Building and Loan buildings, which
they had a short time since disposed
of the C. L. Fuller, in which Earl
Stanfield lived, he then had to look
around and concluded as he had
been rooted out a number of times
to move into the Coronado Apart
ments. This will get them all in
the clear.
CEMETERY.
We are now prepared to make your
monument, markers and lot corners

REGISTRATION OF WOMEN EX
PLAINED BY MRS. DALE
E0YLES. COUNTY CHAIRMAN
A meeting was held last evening
in the auditorium of the Public Li
brary, for the purpose of discussing
the service to be rendered under the
Women's Committee of the Council
of National Defense.
Mrs. Will Robertson, Plattsmouth
Chairman, conducted t lie meeting,
and brought to mind the services the
women have been called upon to do
in Europe, from filling positions
formerly occupied by men, in almost
every line of work to the actual
fighting on the Russian front. If
the present war continues the
women of the United States will of
necessity be doing the same.
Mrs. Dale Boyles of Alvo. the
County Chairman explained the im
portance of this move of the Wom
en's Committee. The government
has no means of knowing the atti
ture of the women as a whole, in
this crisis. Registration offers an
organized method of ascertaining
what women may be counted upon
to do. Now it is to be summed up
and the final result taken.
Registration Day is Sept. 12th. It
is purely voluntary on the part of
the women, no one will compel you
to register. All that is asked is
that you sign your name and ad
dress stating what you can or will
do, in the way of service for your
country. Nothing will be done to
you if it becomes impossible for you
to render the service for which you
have pledged yourself. It is all a
matter of honor. It is the wish of
President Wilson that all states offer
women this opportunity to record
their willingness and power to aid
this country. Governor Neville, in
his proclamation naming the day
for registration, said that armies
alone would not suffice to win the
present war, but that our forces at
home must be mobilized for such
rervtce as they tan best render."" '
. May all women show their patrio
tism on Sept. 12th, by registering at
the regular polling places. Never
before in the' history of our country
have women been given the appor
tunity of showing their willingness
for patriotic service and so let us
return the compliment by one hund
red percent 'registration.
HAS A NEW X-RAY MACHINE.
Dr. T. J. Flynn, has just placed in
his office as a portion of the equip
ment, a new X-Ray machine which
is capable of taking photographs of
the bones in the flesh, or any other
foreign article which might be in
there, such a buttle or anything
which might have entered the flesh
and ben left by a wound. An at
tachment which enables one to look
through the flesh and see without
the picture the location of the bones
or foreign object in the flesh. This
is a needed instrument in his office
equipment.

THE FARMERS STATE
BANK IS ORGANIZED
Tli Farmer's State Bank of
Plattsmouth is now an assured fact.
Saturday afternoon a majority of the
stock-holders held a meeting in the
room which is to be occupied hy
the new bank and proceeded to or
ganize the bank. It is needless to
say that all were enthusiastic
boosters for the new Institution.
The Farmer's State Bank is or
ganized with a capital stock of $50.
000. subscribed and fully paid up.
The new Institution is a farmer's
bank not only in name but in real
ity. The new bank has 45 stock
holders. 2S of whom are farmers.
The Board of Directors elected at
this first meeting were as follows:
L. G. Todd. A. J. Schafer. Mark
White, T. M. Patterson and E. P.
Lutz. a majority of the Board of Di
rectors being farmers. The Board of
Directors held a meeting immediate
ly after the adjournment of the
stockholders and elected Mr. T. M.
Shafer Vice President. The office of
Cashier was left open for the pres
ent. Never in the history of Platts
mouth was a banking institution
organized with brighter prospects
than that of the Farmer's State
Bank, which it is now hoped will be
open and ready for business on
Sept. 22d. Every stockholders in a
real booster for the new Institution,
and the prospects for the new Insti
tution are as bright as any hau'wing
institution in the state could hope
for. The new bank has among its
stockholders a large number of the
most substantial farmers in the eas
tern portion of Cass County, and the
backing of the Institution is abso
lutely reliable, and experienced men
in the banking business, will be at
the head of the Institution. All de
positors in the new bank will be- pro
tected by the Guarantee law of the
State of Nebraska.
A definite day of the opening will
be announced later when the room
has been completed.
RALPH R. LARSON IN ARMY.
Ralph R. Larson, who for the past
few years has been working in the
Parmele Bank at Louisville. and
who enlisted in the army from
there, after the registration had
been taken, and before the drawing
occurred. When the drawing oc
curred, his name was drawn, and
when the matter came before the
board, as did that of a number of
others, they were exempted as far as
the board were concerned, as they
were already in th service. Now.
when it is published that certain
persons are exempted because they
are in the service, does not mean
that they are out of the service, but
had gone to the army before they
were drawn. Mr. Larson is still in
the service as is also Raymond Lar
son, his brother, both sons of L. G.
Larson and wife of this city.
