but were not successful in their
search. But to reward them, they
had to run about five blocks to get
to the train which came before they
got to the depot. Luckily there was
a large number of people going "away
so they managed to catch the train.
A rield Trip to Plattsmouth f
One Friday afternoon we went on
a "field trip" to Plattsmouth, starting
at 1 p. m. We first went to the Ma
sonic Home. TJiis building is of
brick." There are porches on the
east, west and south sides. The fur
niture in the front room was an
tique. It was worth a great deal to
those who care for antique furniture.
. We were next led back into the
hall and from there to the dining
rocm. They had a row of tables on
each sides of the room. The tables
were long and covered with white
table cloths. From here we went to
the kitchen, then up stairs and then
out on a porch where we could get a
good view- of the city;. Next we
went to, the laundry where we saw
the washing machine, clothes dryer
and mangle. ' ,
From there we went to the front
porch and had our pictures taken.
vThe next place we visited was the
flour mill. Here they explained to
us how the wheat i3 cleaned, how it
is made into fiour and how the sacks
are filled.' v On the first floor they
bad an elevator that carried the
grain upward so it would be cleaned,

then back "down where it woflM be
ground. The cleaners were on the
third floor.
After we left the flour mill, we vis
ited the county superintendent's of
fice. The assistant superintendent
called the B. & M. shops to see if
they would allow us to visit them.
They said we could, so we walked
down there. Passing through the
office we first went to the place
where they repair cars. The uphol
stering shop was where they were
repairing cushions and curtains. Sew
ing machines were busy sewing them.
The varnishing room was where they
were varnishing seats and window
sills. We went through an official's
car. It was very nice. It had a'
kitchen, bedrooms, and most every
thing needed in a house. The bag- 1
gage cars are not nicely finished like
the other cars. When a car is to be
repainted, it is scraped and then it
ifc varnished two or three fimes.
From here we went to the planing
shop. They pulled a board between
two rollers and cut it right in two
pieces. One man cut out a chair
for some of us. We caw a large en
gine sharpening saws. There are many
saws. The workers would start the
engine and the saws went around
and something would hit the saws
first on one side tbenon the other.
This sharpened them.
They showed us how they copper
plate and nickel plate. They polish
ed articles on the buffeting machine.
We saw them polish our leader's
watch charm. It was so bright we
could see ourselves in it. Pure me
talic silver is white. The headlights
were white as snow.
The punching machine was inter
esting. The long iron boards were
slipped into this machine and on to
where the hole was to be punched.
The man stepped on a trip and a
round piece about an inch in dia
meter, dropped out. It cut, or
punched the holes very evenly and
nicely.
In one place they were putting
iron wheels on iron axles so as to
make them fit exactly. They painted
the axles with white paint, then an
engine pushed against the wheel and
it slowly slipped in place. In the
blacksmith shop a man took a big
piece of Iron and burned or cut it
into two pieces with a torch. There
was a large furnace full of iron.
When these pieces were hot enough
they put them on a large block of
iron, a sort of an anvil, and pounded
them into the Shapes they wanted
them. In the bake oven they baked
a mixture of sand, flow and water.
Moulds were made from this.
When we . were through looking
at the Burlington shops it was time
to go back to Murray. We did not
have time to visit nearly as many
places as we wished to see. so we
hope we can go again some time.
Everyone was so thoughtful and will
ing to answer questions that we had
a very pleasant and profitable after
noon and we wish to extend oui
thanks to all who made this "field
trip" possible.
Renfember you have a large stock
of shoes to select from no old stock,
all new.

all had an excellent time, with more
fun than, work, but still they did a
good manly portion of the latter.
Did Not Pick Corn.
Jesse Dysart, living south of town.
had some experience with prospective
corn huskers, which makes him a lit
tle careful of whom he hires in the
future. A man came to his place last

, Attended Funeral Sunday.
A large number of the people of

Gilmore, the two Drs. B. F. and son
J. F. Brendel, and many others.
Entertain Friends at Dinner
Mr. and Mrs. V. A. Kennedy enter
tained a number of friends at dinner
last Tuesday at which time a very
pleasant time was bad and to have

which he would sure have greatly ap
preciated. Will the Women Vote?
