KOT.VS A GOOD TOWN
WHEN HE SEES ONE.
From Tluufsilay's Pally.
Yesterday morning, V. E"T Cope
Jand, who was in the city for a short
lime, departed for his home at Au
rora, alter having visited with his
friends here for a portion of two
days, and attended a session of the
Odd Fellows lodge, of which he is
a member. Mr. Copeland. who lived
in this city for a number of years,
spoke of the great improvement in
the business being done, the appear
ance of the city and the many new
buildings which have been erectd
tiuce his departure. He speaks of
Hie miles of paving and the addi
tional sewerage, as further evidence
c! the prosperity and progress of
the city. Having many friends in
riattsmouth. he ordered the Journal
tent to his heme address at Aurora,
in order "that he might take further
note of our progress and keep in
touch with a live city.
KALABLE IKON CASTINGS
ARE IN GREAT DEMAND
l-"rmi Thursday's Daily.
People all over the country, large
plants and small, are troubled with
a scarcity of mailable iron castings
on the market. An instance Of this
right at heme is the case of the
Western Machine and Foundry com
pany, at this place, which is ex
periencing v small amount of
trouble in getting sufficient of this
commodity to" continue their work
unhampered. This institution is, to
ue the words of Mr. Sharpc, "too
large ami too small so large that
they have trouble in getting the
material necessary to turn out their
work with dispatch and on the
other hand, not large enough to in
stitute a mailable iron casting foun
dry in connection with their, plant
without additional capita!."
There is but one such institution
west of the Mississippi river and
that is located at Fairfield, Iowa.
The writer remembers in 1900 of
embarking in the telephone business
at Salem. Iowa, and at that time
throe miles northwest of that town,
there was a young man, just having

arrived at his majority, who had es
tablished a small foundry which he
began by making castings for the
people in the adjacent country, an
which the citizens of Salem became
interestd in, and endeavored to get
the young man, whose name is John
Poulter. to come to Salem. At the
same time capitalists at Fairfield
and Mt. Pleasant, as well at at Ot
tumwa, as well as other towns in
eastern Iowa became interested. As
a result, however, Fairfield was the
town which secured the plant, then
but a small concern, but which now
enjoys the distinction of being the
only institution of its character west
of the. Mississippi river. At that
time, which was eighteen years ago,
this young man was struggling with
the proposition and was so financial
ly embarrassed that he deferred be
coming a subscriber for a telephone,
although he needed it for several
months, because he felt that he
could not afford it on the limited
business he was then doing.
This young man had the right lead
and- has made abundantly good in
little Fairfield, a town nearly the
size of Plattsmouth, or, if anythin
a trifle smaller. As a result of his
foundry being located there, other
and numerous manufacturing plants.
each putting out numerous patented
articles of merit have sprung up -n
Fairfield and have been the necleus
larerelv about which is woven the
prosperity of that little Iowa city.
It is claimed that there exists an
enua) or srreater opportunity for
such an institution in Plattsmouth,
for at the present time there is a
demand for from 10,000 to 20.000
tons of these castings awaiting for
some institution to furnish them at
a good profit.
PASSED AWAY AT KAN3AS CITY.
From Thursday's Daily.
Last Monday afternoon Rev. A. J.
Hargett of the Christian church re
ceived a message announcing the
serious illness of his mother at
Kansas City" her home, and hasteued
to her bedside, to find life, and to
see if he could render any assistance
of kindness to her. Mrs. Hargett
who is well advanced in years, pass
ed, away Tuesday, and Rev. Hargett
in charge of the remains, departed
for Augusta, Tenn., where the fam
ily formerly lived, and where years
ago they spent the early years, to
lay away the body of his mother
among the scenes of her youuger
years, and that she might rest in and
among the places which she had lov
ed so well in her youth. Ilev. Har
gett only departed from Kansas City
on a late train Wednesday night, and
will probably not have opportunity
to arrive home in time for services
on Sunday of this week.

FOLLOWING KILLING AND
WOUNDING OF NIPPONESE.
NO INTERVENTION iS OUR VIEW
Number of Men Landed Sinai! and
Sufficient to Prevent Farther
Disorders.
V.'ashington, D. C, April 5. Lard
ing of Japanese naval forces at
Vladivostok to protect life and prop
erty was reported to the state de
partment today by the American
consul there.
The action followed an attack on a
Japanese officer by five armed Rus
sians, who upon being refused money,
killed one Japanese and wounded
two others. The force landed was
said to be small and only sufficient
to prevent further disorders.
It was learned otficially that the
American government attaches ; o
political significance to this inci
dent. In other "words, it is not regcrdfd
as being connected in any wav with
the much discussed possibility of
Japanese, intervention in Siberia.
The landing party was from a Japa
nese cruiser stationed in Vladivostok
harbor.
Trouble Just Local.
Since the return to Japan from
Russia of Baron Uchida, the Japa
nese minister to Petrograd, the Jaia
nese prime minister has indicated
clearly that Japan does not intend at
present, at least, to enter Siberia in
a military way without reference to
the wishes of the Russian govern
ment, unless some extreme emer
gency should arise. It has he:i as
sumed here that such an emergency
would be organization of the Oermcn
military prisoners in Siberia into an
armed force designed to se'ze control
of the country .or ihe taking posses
sion bv factions hostile to the en
tente allies of the great quantity of
military stores accumulated at Vladi
vostok.
Neither of these contingencies has
arisen at Vladivostok and the slate
department's information indicates
that the trouble at that port is pure
ly local. Whi!e the boI-Oievik ele
ment predominates at the port, i!
never has been able to as?crt it
authority and preserve order.
Delayed Tokio F.eport.
Tokio. Saturday, ?!nrch 30.-At
the Japanese foreign oliice today, it
was said that no confirmation had
been received of the statement pub
lished by the Nichi Nichi that the
situation at Vladivostok, while not
immediately critical, was becoming
worse. Telegraphic communication
with the Russia seaport has been
virtually suspended.
The; Nichi Nichi claims that the
bolsheviki authorities have occupied
the government offices and banks at
Vladivostok. The entente powers,
it adds, has accepted the proni'sc of
the bolshcviki to protect life and
property, and espocially the im
mense supplies destined for the Rus
sian army.

CHANGE BT OWNERSHIP OF
PLATTSMOUTH BUSINESS
From Thursday's laily.
W. II. Bruce, of the Glen wood
Granite Works, on last Friday com
pleted the deal whereby Frank Swo
boda bought the Cass county Mom:
ment business .located in PIr.tts
mouth, which Mr. Bruce has owned
the past year. Mr. Bruce found that
the business had grown t-:o fast that
it took too much of his time and ro
disposed of it. Y.- T. Wassail, who
has been the local manager in the
business for Mr. Bruce, is retained
by the purchaser. Glenwocd Tri-
bune.
Mr. Wassell came here about a
year ago, and notwithstanding the
competition, has made good in the
management of the place here and
due to his efforts the business has
grown to that proportion which re
quired the sale of the same by the
Glen wood people, who have about all
they can look after in the monument
line on the other side of the rivr.
And with the announce.nent of the
?ale of the property, friends will be
glad to iearn that Mr. Wassell is to
be retained in his present capacity,
in recognition partly of the efforts he
has put forth to make the business
30 grow as to make it unwieldy rs
a sideline, but susceptible to still
further expeusaion as a full-fledged
business, as it row becomes.

THE WAR SUMMARIZED
The French lines have been held
below Amiens and the Germans have
been defeated with great losses in
what probably constituted their' most
derperate effort yet to break in and
cut off the communications of this
important base from the south.
Similarly to the east of Amiens the
British have maintained their stead
fast defense and prevented the Ger
mans from making any imp rtant
headway here.
This battle, which raged yesterday
and all last night, was fought along
a line of approximately thirty miles
south, of the Sonime. Today, accord
ing to unofficial dispatches, the Ger
mans switched their attack to the
north of the river and engaged the
British along a front of some seven
teen miles but again were unable to
make any progress except a slight
advance near the river.
In the great battle to the south
cf the Somme the contending armies
fought with fluctuating fortunes, the
French giving some ground in the
northerly. sector of their battle area
but closing the engagement with
their line not only standing where it
was along its southerly course but
even advanced in one or two sectors
wherethe Germans have been vio
lently thrown back.
As a whole the entente line may be
considered, as the French official
statement puts iff maintained in its
entirety. So far the German object
rrouth of Amiens, the railway line to
Clermont, is concerned the stupend

It i; ixtii patriotic and profitable to raise forage cropo for stock feeding and to save high-priced grain
for use as human food.
Every farmer should raise enough pasturage an c! hay to feed all his stock for an entire year. Cattle,
Fhtep and hogs will make a satisfactory growth and k eep healthy on a balanced forage ration.
Alfalfa, clovers and field peas are profitable crops end excellent soil builders. Rape, fodder-corn, sor
ghum, millet and other grasses will supply nourishing feed cf high quality.
Sow forage with your grain and get a double crop without additional labor. A few pounds of Medium
Ile.l Clover can provide two or three months of profitable pasturage after the grain harvest and will increase
soil fertility. Ilape sown with grain will usually furnish excellent feed, prevent leaching, and help to con
trol weeds. The grain j-ield will be as large as if it wire the only crop. The pasturage is extra profit.
Keep your growing stock and raise plenty of forage this 3'ear for their feed supply.

IN THE GRAIN AND SEED
tween the- Luce and the Somme
where the battle front was a con
tinuous one, linking up with the op
eration against the French. Here
the British were pressed back out of
a small salient that had projected in
the neighborhood of Warfusee-Aban-court,
just to the north of Marceclave
and almost directly on a line east
of Amiens. This was the only ad
vantage the Germans were able to
gain in this whole sector after hours
of almost constant attacking heavy
forces.
The British recession was slight
and the line they now maintain runs
east at Villers-Brittonneux, some
102 miles from the center of
Araienes and about nine miles from
its outskirts.
On that part of the battle front
running eastward from Montdider
the French gave no ground but on
the contrary drove in about midway
between Montdidier and Lassigny,
and captured the greater part of
Epinette wood north of Orvillers
orel. They held this eround against
several counter attacks. Their suc
cess here was matched on the front
north of Montdidier by their seizure
from the Germans of St. Aignan
farm, southeast of Grivesnes, which
they likewise held against all assaults.
