The nets have been left with Mc Makens and if the parties who own them will go to the office of the countv clerk and take out a fi&hing license they will be given an order so that they may procure them at McMakens The license for fishing with a seine is $10.00 and for a trammel net $."..00.

FOR TOURISTS IS AT HAND MANY PASS THROUGH CITY EN- ROUTE TO FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH. AUTO TRAVEL AGAIN IN FAVOR After Curtailment of Last Year License Plates Seen frorn Many Different States. From Tlmrpday's Dailj The noted celebrities of the na tion -who have passed through this city in Pullman cars or private coaches never attracted one-half as much attention as centers around a car from California or perhaps Ver mont, Maine or Ohio, when it pulb. up alongside the curbing at one cf the local garages to take on a mii ply of gasoline, oil. water or iiir. License plates are tell-tab- evi dence of the state from which tlu occupants of the car have come and distance lends enchantment. This is truly opeu season for tour ists. Every day from one to a score pass through the city bound for the four ouarters of the earth on:e en route east, others west, some noriii to enjoy the cooling breezes of the Minnesota lakes, 'others south to the Gulf coast country. All going to enjoy something somewhere per haps some of then) chasing rainbows. Numerous of the tourists stop for breakfast, dinner or supper and not a rew or them stay over i.iglit 1:1 little sl' Plattsnouth. The Wagner hotel register contains the names of tourists, whose pcope of residence or- iginates in New England and con tinues to New Mexico and Washing ton. Some of them come in fresh from the joys of motoring; othtrs look wearied, indicating in all prob ability trouble with the motor, or tires. Motoring is not all pleasure, even at its best, and to everyone on a long trip there comes days o! grief, when evirything s-eems to j;o wrong. And as the owner? originate from far-separated regions, so too are th- .cars far anart in relationship. The Pierce.Arrov.. is often foIlow.d the Ford, and they in turn by a Buick, an Overland or a what-noi. Almost every known make and de scription of automobile may be seo:i traveling the country roads of Ne braska any day now. The great impetus of tourist traf fic this season is doubtless due to i the restriction of gasoline usage for other than business purposes durinz the war. The counteracting effect is undoubtedly noticeable in every village and hamlet in the country. Let us then, welcome our tourist friends. They can be made a source of considerable revenue and at the rate per day they are passing thru Plattsmouth they are too important to overlook. Stationery at the Jonrnal office
