WABASH HAPPENINGS
Flans Already Under Way Proceeds
to be Expended in Cemetery
Improvement Work.
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.

We are carrying a full line of farm machinery and

You had better see us NOW about any machinery you
may have that is in need of repairs, and thus be assur
ed of having it in working condition when you need
it. Delays in the busy season are costly.
Spring is about here with its heavy quota of farm
work to be done and it is highly imperative that you
look after the repair work right away. To those in
need of new implements we are in a position to quote
