SECTION AND
BRIDGE MEN TO
WORK 8 HOURS
EFFECTIVE TODAY ALL TRACK
MEN ANE BRIDGE OPERA
TORS GET HOUR CUT
HAVE BEEN LABORING 9 HOURS
But Hot at Time and a Half Pay for
the Additional Hour pay of
Section Men is Small.
From Saturday's Pally
Messages of instruction have been
received by the section foremen and
those in charge of the bridge car
penter gangs, stating that effective
today the employees of the railroad
company ir these lines are placed on
an eight hour per day basis. Em
ployees in both these lines of work
have heretofore been working nine
hours and notwithstanding the fact
that it has been the custom to pay
shop employees and others time and a
half for the additional hour over
eight, they have drawn straight pay
on a per hour basis.
The section men at this time are
working on a 37 cent schedule, and
the ruling which goes into effect to
day will make the daily wage $2.96.
or the weekly wage $17.76, and for
the' full month. $76.96, which they
are cautioned not to spend in riotous
living.' This certainly looks like a
small amount at present day prices
of the necessities which a family
must have. The rate for the bridge
men is a little better, being 55 cents
Insure Your 1919 Feed Bill!
Never before has every kind of feed been as high
in price as it is today, and it will continue to be for a
long time to come. Whatever insures the feed bill is a
better investment today than ever before. The silo is
a good investment at any time; it's a better investment
this year. Early buyers get the best service, best work
manship and a liberal discount from regular prices.
A Good Combination: g
The "Everlasting" Silo and
The "Climax" Ensilage Cutter.
The "Everfcsting" is the only tile silo in the world that is
built with a channel steel door frame providing for steel-bar re
enforcement of every layer of tile. It is guaranteed air-tight, wind
proof, fire-proof, rat-proof and rot-proof. It needs no repairing.
The "Climax" ensilage cutter operates with less power than
any other.' It cuts and elevates silage in one operation and the en
silage is always cut clean not hacked or torn into unequal lengths.
F.oth "Everlasting" silos and "Climax" ensilage cutters are made
in sizes to suit every farmer.

ALBERT MILLER HOME
ON TEN DAY FURLOUGH
From Thursday's Dally.
This morning Albert Miller arrive
ed in this city coming, from Louis
ville, where he stopped oiT for a
short visit while on his way here
from the U. S. Naval Training sta

the time he came away.
Cured at a Cost of 25 Cents.
"Eight years ago whsit we first
moved to Mat toon, I was a great
sufferer from indigestion and con
stipation," writes Mrs. Robert Alli
son, Mattoon, 111. "I had frequent
headaches and dizzy spells, and
there was a feeling like a heavy
weight pressing on my stomach and
chest til the time. I felt miserable.
Every morsel of food distressed me.
I could not rest at night and felt
tired and worn out all the time.
One bottle of Chamberlain's Tablets
cured me and I have felt like a
different person."
C. E. Sydebotham and wife were
visiting with friensd in Omaha this
afternoon, where they will spend

ING CONSIDERED.
MUCH MONEY TO BE EXPENDED
Conservation Of Interest Of All the
People Object First
Sought.
From Saturday's Daily.
On his coming home at this time
Representative Hon II. B. Windham,
representing this and Otoe county,
brought a plat of the state with the
suggestion for the location of the
roads, in all the counties as drawn
by the state engineer G. J. John
son, and which according to statis
tics, will have on the roads a platted
6.1 per cent, and within a distance
of four and a half miles, there will
be 75 per cent of the people.
The roads for this county, which
runs north and south, passes along
the same roads as the Washington
Highway, which leads from Omaha
to Kansas Pity and which is kept
in very fair condition at this time.
The road which is for the east
and, west traffic, passes directly
west from a point on the Washing
ton Highway, three quarters of a
mile east of Murray, to Waverly in
Lancaster county. It thus will tia
verse the entire county east and
west in the center of the county,
and will in that way conserve the
interests of the greatest amount of
the people in this county. It thus
affords a good road from the west
line of the county to the county
seat, and those, on either side are
within but a short distance of this
main thoroughfare. To remove the
road from the proposed location,
would discommode a large number
of the inhabitants of the county
and would accomodate but a very
few better.
The road as proposed would make
the distance from any place on that
r :ul to Lincoln, four miles shorter
tli.m any other rouf.e vhi L could
lc flatted.
The idea is to conserve the inter
est of the greatest number of the
people in the county. The road
passing east and west through Otoe
county, leads -west from Nebraska
City and passed through the coun
ty nearly the center and finds its
way leading directly to Lincoln cov
ering at the west portion of the
county to the north .is our road does
to the south after passing out of the
county. The Federal Government
has made the estimate for the ap
propriation for this state of $640,
000.00 and the state is expected to
make an appropriation of like
amount, and coupled with this is a
proposition to increase the license
for driving an automobile, with the
minimum $10.00 for the lightest
cars, and graduated higher, as to
their weight. The plan is for dirt
roads, but which shall be placed in
the best possible condition, and got
ten as nearly a bevel grade as can
be considering the topography of
the country over which they pass.
There will.be about three and a half
miles of clay, gravel or sand road.
which will be in Hall county, while
in Lancaster there will be five and
a half miles of brick pavement. This
work if taken of as soon as the
spring will permit of working should
in a measure solve the unemploy
ment question to a great extent.
The road as it passes especially
east and west through this county
would seem to have been placed so
that it accomodate the largest num
ber of people possible consistant
with tho only one roa din that di
rection passing through the county.
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
Before using this preparation for
a cough or cold you mav wish to
know what it. has done for others.
Mrs. O. Cpok, Macon, 111.; writes, "I
have found it gives the quickest re
lief of any cough remedy I have
(ever used." Mrs. James A. Knott,
t Chillicothe, Mo., say? "Chambcr
( Iain's Cough Remedy cannot be beat
j for coughs and colds." H. J. Moore,
tOval, Pa., says "I hate used Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy on several
! occasions when I was suffering with
a settled cold upon the chest and It
has always brought about a cure.
Mrs. Fred Jones who has been
, visiting in this city from her home
at Riskin, the guest at the home of
' her mother Mrs. J. T. Balrd. depart
ed this afternoon for. Bancroft,
where she will visit for a short time
at the .home of Mr. Jones folks.

LIBERTY BUSI
NESS GIRLS'
CLUB GROWS
FIVE NEW MEMBERS INITIATED
INTO THE ORGANIZATION
LAST EVENING.
OPEN FINE NEW CLUB ROOMS
And Prepare to Enjoy Weekly Meet
ings in the Future miss ver
na Hatt President.
from Thursday's Daily
The "Liberty" Business Girls' club
of Plattsmouth, organized about two
months ago by a number of the young
ladies about town, is increasing its
membership materially of late and
at the meeting last night five candi
dates were initiated into the organi
zation and given the proverbial
' third degree." This gives the club
a total membership or nearly iwo
score girls, all employees of business
concerns in the city.
The Liberty club is part of an or
ganized effort over the country to
unite business girls of the different
cities in the work of the National
Patriotic League and its inception
was brought about through war
time conditions. But with the war
now over, the club will be continued
and a part of the time will be de- j
voted to the pursuit of some chosen
one of several study courses provid
ed by the Patriotic League.
Miss Verna Hatt was elected to
he presidency of the club at the first
election of officers and she has de
moted a good deal of time to making
it so successful. Mrs. Roy Knorr and
Mrs. J. II. Coughlin are the chosen
leaders and to them is entrusted the
duty of steering the organization
along a straight course and sort of
acting chaperones to the members.
The desire of the girls to procure
club rooms of their own has been
realized in the acquisition of rooms
n thepund building opposite the
courthouse. An intensive program
of fixing up has been the order of
procedure for the past ten days and
their efforts were rewarded in hav-
ng the nice home in which to hold
their meeting last night.- Curtains,
and books, and chairs and a dozen
nd one things that mere man knows
but little about, yet which go to im
prove appearances wonderfully are
plainly evident. A Graffanola is the
latest acquisition in the musical line
and hopes are entertained to procure
piano soon.
The five new members initiated
last night were Misses Mary Hobsch-
eidt, Gertrude Roesster, Anna Pola
cek. Mary Clark and Mathilda Soen-
lichsen. Among other amusing fea
ures of the initiatory work was a
most thrilling trip to the clouds' in
a 1920 model aeroplane. At the ap
parent close of the ceremonies a
luncheon filled with surprise to the
new members was served and more
fun was Indulged In. This was fol
lowed by music, and dancing until
the time came to adjourn. Several
other candidates have been passed
upon and will be Initiated at the
next regular meeting "Wednesday ev
ening of next week.
As club organizers and promoters
the girls have been very successful.
and we shall be pleased to take note
of their further efforts to entertain
and amuse themselves while so many
of the young fellows about town are
still in the army.
Knowing-not
An unadvertised article may be of as good qual
ity as the one that is advertised, but how are you
going to know? The manufacturer of an adver
tised commodity could not afford to make an in
ferior article because he would immediately lose
his advertising investment. The manufacturers of
unadvertised goods have no advertising invest
ment to lose and no reputation to maintain. It is
for this reason that we feel so secure when recom
mending Clotlicraft Clothes, Stetson Hats, Man
hattan Shirts or Adler Gloves all have a Nation
al reputation. When you see these in our store
you can feel with confidence that they will give
you full value for your money. t

Mood poison in his cheek, which he
came to Omaha to have treated. Af
ter several months of treatment it
was supposed that a cure had been
effected, but since returning home
the trouble returned and he is now

Reviewing Late Events
From Thursday's Daily.
ThisMnorning Mrs. C. (". Wescott
received a letter from Mr. Wescott,
who is in France at present in the
capacity of a Y. M. C. A. secretary.
The letter was written from Paris,
and was dated December 27th, two
days after Christmas. He was to de
part on the following day for Alsace
Lorraine, where he will be stationed
in connection with the work he is
to do for the Y. M. C. A.
He tells. of seeing Sergeant Don
Arries as he was walking down the
streets in Paris, whom he accosted,
and you can judge for yourself the
surprise of the latter when Cliff sang
out. "Hello Don Arries" and the
pleasure both experienced as they
clasped hands in a hearty American
greeting. They talked of the time
they had had and what they were
going to do.
Mr. Wescott reports that Don was
looking fine and feeling the same,
and that both Byron and Major, who
were still in the hospital were get
ting along nicely and we hope they
are as much more improved by this
time as they were over three weeks
ago.
Charles Haynie was a visitor in
