Three days of hilarious fun are in store for Piattsmouth and Cass coun ty people on April I'S.. 2'J and 30th. when the American Legion will put on its big indoor country fair and carnival combined. The center of attraction will be at Eagles hall, where there will be re produced a travesty of the old time country lair, including the popular arrosein-nt features that entertain and li.riil. 'I he nucleus ofTne enterprise was gicn impetus at the monthly meet ing of th? Legion executive commit tee Wednesday night and already committees are busily engaged in laying the groundwork from which t evolve one of the most successful e .t f rtainment features ever present el in Plattsnmuth. Of course the enterprise lias as its object the making of some money. The Legion has been deeded nine lots iti the local cemetery for a memorial plat and it is the desire of the post to fix these lots up so they may be utilized on decoration day for the holding of memorial exercises to the honored dead of America's past wars. A little later a captured German ar tillery piece will be erected on the plat and other improvements made. All this; takes money, and the post will use a considerable part of the country fair proceeds for such im provement work. In addition, there is additional furniture to lie provid ed, club room rent to be paid and worthy comrades to be given assis tance in case of sickness, the money for which becomes available only through the medium of post activi- th. ' Since the Legion came into being the local post has never failed "to give patrons of its money-making enter prises the full worth of their money and the present instance will be no exception to the rule. Among other entertainment fea tures will be dancing which is ever a popular amusement in Plattfc mouth. It is a little early yet to outline the plans of the committees, but suf fice to say there is going to be a real big time in the old town Thursday. Friday and Saturday nights.
