URGE MORE LOCAL ROADWAYS Dowell Bill Introduced Would In crease Number of Roads tc Receive Federal Aid Over Country. "The difference net ween the Town semi highway bill and the Dowell' good roads, till is that the former pro vides cross country trunk lines or boulevards for those who have the money and time to idle away in long distance tours while the Dowell hill would furnish more local roads avail able for farm-to-market purposes and which are of service to all of the people." This statement was issued today by the American farm bureau federation shortly after Congressman C. C. Dowell of Iowa had introduced his bill. "The Townsend bill plans to tax the communities so heavily through which the highways pass that the local money for road build ing will be exhausted and the great est amount of traffic and local near by travel will be forced to wallow '.n the mud. It specifies that all highways built under federal aid shall be sixty-six feet wide and liaVe a wearing surface of not less than twenty feet. To build such boule vards in some parts of the country would be wasteful and economically not justifiable and a few miles of it would absorb all of the local or state funds available.- These boulevards would be built through desert, moun tainous country or where travel is more frequent. "The farmers are equally as inter ested as the city dwellers in good roads and highways over which they can run their automobiles both for business and pleasure. Farmers own and operate fully r0 per cent of the automobiles and trucks in this coun try, the total of which now exceeds and wil buy their share of 27. 9.000.000. They wore out fully half of the 24.000.000 tires used last year OOo.OOO tires required this year to keep the cars running. Vet these same farmers know that they travel mostly between their farms and the nearby cities just as most city peo ple rarely take long distance tours. The farmers are interested in a road program that takes into considera tion the development of the road system of their state and at the same time "makes provision for inter-county and interstate highways. "The Dowell bill requires each otate receiving federal aid to desig nate through its highway depart ment a connected system of roads, interstate in character, not to exceed 7 per cent of the total roads mileage and to classify the roads of this sys tem into two groups, primary or in terstate and secondary or inter-county. Hut this is only a starter. As rapidly as the state has funds to con struct additional inter-county roads the percentage will be increased. "The Dowell bill permits the secre tary of agriculture and the states to determine the width of roads accord ing to local conditions and require ments. In dealing with the western states where a large area is in public forest lands, which includes "reserva tions" under federal control as well as unappropriated public lands, the Dowell bill would change the ratio of federal participation in road building, thus making it possihl efor the. fed eral government to contribute more than 50 per cent. It also extends the ratio about $20,000 per mile where necessary." CHANGE MADE IN BANK CASS COUNTY G. M. McClerkin of Omaha, Purchas es Interest in Bank and Becomes Vice President. SAYS DEATHS ARE DUE TO NEGLIGENCE Sensational Charges of Inefficiency and Drunkenness in the Air Mail Service. Mr. G. M. McClerkin of Omaha, was in the city Sat unlay making ar rangements to mrve his family to l'lattsmouth this week. Mr. Mc Clerkin has purchased a substantial interest in the Hank of Cass County and is now vir.e-president and di rector of the bank. He lias hud a wide and varied experience in the banking business, having been an officer of the First National Hank at Omaha and fnr the past four years having been National Hank Examiner for this district. In addition to hi-; banking experience, lie brings to the local institution close financial con nections with a number of large banks. Mr. McClerkin lias had numerous chances to get back into the active banking business, and it speaks well for Plattsmouth in his selection of this city for his home and future ac tivities. Messrs. T. II. Pollock and K. F. Patterson will remain as the banks president and cashier respectively, and Messrs. McClerkin and Pat terson will have active manage ment of the bank. Mr. MoCIerk in's coming will eliminate the fric tion heretofore existing anung the stockholders and directors of the bank and means scucess and pros perity for the bank and this community. JUDGE LINDSEY PAYS FINE AND CLOSES CASE Denver. Colo.. May 12. Judge Hen H. Lindsey of the Denver juvenile court paid a fine of $500 and costs to George McLachlin. clerk of the West Side criminal court here today, ;:nd ended a court controversy which has been hanging fin; more than five years. Judge Lindsey himself car ried the writ of execution against him to the clerk's office, the sheri'.T iiGt being present. Judge Lindsey said after paying the fine that he had used his own funds, although a number of Denver lawyers and newsboy organizations over the country had offered to con tribute the amount needed. "I have no regrets." said Judge ; Lindsey today. "I believe the fight we made was right. No court again will ask a juvenile court judge to betrav what a child has told him." Treatment of Common Colds. "If all who catch cold could be persuaded to remain in bed for the first twenty-four hours of such an attack," says a well known physi cian, "there would be fewer cases dragging on with distressing symp toms for weeks and often ending in some more serious disease." To make sure of a prompt recovery you should also take Chamberlain's Cough Item ed y. Whether sick or well the bow els should move each day.

Charges of in efficiency, negligence and drunken- lifsiu Vro mudo t nl a v Viv n-ItnoocAc at an investigation of recent deaths! in the air mail service being conduct ed by Charles II. Clarahan. postal inspector. The charges were made by C. C. Eversole, former mail pilot, who was discharged after he had made a pirachute leap from his plane near Minneapolis last February in what he said was an effort to escape a crash. Eversole declared that the real reason for his discharge was that he had told postal inspectors of the neg lct and inefficiency at various fields. The eight German junker planes that cost the government $235,000. also cost the lives of seven pilots. Eversole testified. Five were hope lessly wrecked and the others with drawn because pilots refused to fly in them, he said. Twenty-five . De Haviland planes, known to the pilots as "ash cans" were withdrawn for the same reason, he declared. According to the witness, attaches of the flying field would lay odds of j from four to one to ten to one that i the Dellavilands would never reach I their destination. He also testified; that several of the officials of thel local field often appeared on the' field while intoxicated. j Another advantage of the baby buggy over the motor car is that ' most of the noise emanating from ' the baby buggy can be stopped free ' of charge by the passenger's par ent, while a noisy motor has to be taken to an expensive repair shop.' jfib.b.
