BUILDING AND
LOAN ASSOCIA
TIONS STRONG
PRESIDENT OF STATE LEAGUE
LOOKS UPON THE BRIGHT
SIDE OF THINGS.
The prosperity of Nebraska build
in? and loan associations was com
mented upon by President K. L. Hev
elone of t ho Nebraska League of Sav
ings and Ixan associations in his
annual address Wednesday morning;
at the thirteenth annual convention
in session at the Lincoln hotel.
President Hevelone said that it is
exceedingly vratifying to note that
during the past year when many
companies in t lie state that claimed
to be doing business along the same
lines as the building and loan asso
ciations. et not under the provisions
of the savings ami loan laws, along
v. itn other companies offering larger
profit.i on investments, had gone to
th wall. During that period, he
t-aid, not a single savings and loan
association had become embarrassed
or suspended its activities.
He pointed out that this showing
was made despite the fact that heavy
calls had been made upon them for
funds because of the urgent needs of
their stockholders,. He said that in
formation had come to him that every
association in Nebraska is in splendid
condition and that most, if not all of
them, will show a nice increase in
assets in their annual statement to
the state banking department, com
pared to twelve months ago.
President Hevelone thought that
all this attests the confidence of the
people in the management of such
organizations. lie commended the
officers and directors of the seventy
odd building ami loan associations of
the state fur t heir loyalty to their
stockholders, and in conserving the
investments of the youth and the
aged, the widow and the orphan as
well as the genera! investor.
President Hevelone reminded the
savings ad loan men that one year
ago the people were facing a serious
situation brought about by expansion
due to after-war conditions. lie paid
that as then this part of the country
is now facing a serious shortage in
the housing situation. That situation
is just as acute or more so now than
it was then, the present situation be
ing accentuated by the paralysis of
the building industry. People are not
building homes because they did not
consider they could afford to do so
until there is a greater drop in the
prices t.f material and in labor costs.
The convention was called to order
at 11 a. m. yesterday by the presi
dent. Committees on credentials and
resolutions wore appointed. The re
port of Secretary-treasurer T. J. Fitz
morris showed that the finances of
t he association are in good condition.
The building and loan men do not
think they gut the hearing they de
served from the 1921 legislature.
This was reflected in a statement
made by President Hevelone in which
he suuge-ted that the members should
see that at least a few men were
elected to the 1923 legislature who
wuld show an inclination to play
fair with one of the important busi
ness enterprises of the state.
The members of the league took
luncheon at the Lincoln hotel. Ar
rangements for their entertainment
have been made by Frank 11. Sidles,
of Lincoln. The league adjourned
Wednesday afternoon following the
election of officers and the presenta
tion of resolutions.

MOVES ITS SIDETRACK
Missouri Pacific Makes Change That
Will Add in Plans of Beautifying
Masonic Home Surroundiirgs
Ffom Thursdays Dally.
The engineering force of the Mis
souri Pacific came up last evening
from Falls City and this morning
started in o nthe work of removing
the sidetrack which has been stand
ing for several years from the eleva
tor over the crossing west of the Ma
sonic Home. The committee in
charge of the work at the home had
taken the matter up with the Mis
souri Pacific company several weeks
ago and the visit of the engineers
was the result.
The change will permit the com
pletion of the work on the roadway
and insures a smooth crossing over
from the paving to the Omaha high
way. This will not only add to the
appearance of the surroundings of the
home, but will be a change much
appreciated by those who have had
occasion to travel over this road.
FAIL TO SHOW UP.
From Thursday's Dally.
Yesterday afternoon the local high
school base ball team was scheduled
to meet the representatives of the
School for the Deaf of Omaha on
the home pasture, but the visitors
appeared not.
It seems that there had been a
mixup in the schedule of the teams
as the Iowa team were under the im
pression that their date here was
for next Monday instead of yester
day and accordingly the batt,le will
not be staged until the coming week.
The number turning out for these
games is surprisingly small in view
of the excellent game of the national
pastime that the high school boys put
up, and more encouragement ''should
be given the high school team by
the residents of the city. The games
occurring on week day afiefnoon
should be patronized by the fans, es
pecially who do not care to attend
the Sunday games.

CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE HAS
FINEMEETINC
LARGE NUMBER PRESENT LAST
NIGHT AND MANY MATTERS
WERE DISCUSSED.
From Friday's Dally.
Last evening there were a very
large number of citizens present at
the public library auditorium to at
tend the meeting of the Chamber ot
Commerce and while the audience
was somewhat disappointed in the
failure of Harry E. Moss, of Omaha,
state secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce, to appear and address the
gathering a great many matters ot
local interest were taken up and dis
cussed by the members of the Cham
ber as well as the citizens who were
in attendance.
Countv Attorney A. G. Cole was
present and gave a few remarks on
his impressions of the city and its
neoule and the general feeling of
neighborly interest that prevailed
among the residents in marked dif
ference to many places where be had
lived and where the feeling hail
been antagonistic.
The good roads question, one in
which residents of the country dis
tricts, as well as residents of the
city are vitally interested was dis
cussed at some length by Frank M.
Bestor, one of the leading good roads
boosters in the city and he told of
some of the plans for improving the
condition of the highways out of the
citv and also of the marking oi ine
King of Trails which is soon to be
undertaken through this portion of
Nebraska.
Another of the matters that was
discussed was that of the lighting
contract between the city and the
Nebraska Gas & Electric company.
and In which everyone in the city
is verv much interested. The con
tract between the city and the light
company covering the street lighting
has been out since late, last summer
and the council is now endeavoring
to prepare a contract that will be ac
ceptable to all concerned and give
the city the best possible terms that
can be securea. a numoer express
ed the sentiment that the rates
should be looked into while the mat
ter was being taken up by the city
The Chamber of Commerce also
passed a resolution requesting that
all business houses of the city close
for a Dart of the afternoon on the
occasion of the visit of the Nebraska
Masonic grand lodge here in June
and that all the business men gather
t the home to assist in welcoming
the visitors who will be here to look
over the home and to view the city.
Henry A. Schneider reviewed the
free bridge matter that has t:een be
fore the legislature at the last ses
sion and the new law that will per
mit counties to apply for a free bridge
and with the aid and co-operation
of the state place in a bridge, even
if the other county interested is op
posed. He also gave the statement
of State Engineer George Johnson
that the matter of the Platte river
bridge would probably be reached
during the fall months as there are
seven other bridges that have prece
dent over the one near this city for
consideration.
The good roads comittee of the
Chamber of Commerce will also take
up the matter and endeavor to se
cure some ravoraoie actioa on ine
matter of a free bridge at the earliest
possible time. The new law gives
the state the option of putting in a
new bridge or purchasing one that
may already be in existence.
E. J. Richey offerel a suggestion
that the Chamber of Commerce and
citizens think over the matter of se
curing the block east of the present
Masonic home and presenting it to
the association.
The publicity committee of the
Chamber are preparing to have post
cards printed for distribution on the
occasion of the visit of the Masonic
grand lodge here and which will
have on one side the picture of the
home and on the reverse the facts
about Plattsmouth and its advant
ages as one of the leading cities of
the state.
C. C. Wescott save a few timely
remarks relative to the rough condi
tion of Main street and the need of
better lighting facilities for the city
and which struck a popular chord
with the members, although the
present condition of material makes
the immediate paving of the street
matter of grave doubt. To the re
marks of Mr. Wescott, Carl Schmidt
mann added the suggestion that the
old cobble stones be used in the
building of a new city hall when the
time comes that they are removed
from Main street where they have
rested for the past thirty years.
An added feature of the meeting
was the songfest led by Percy Field
and II. W. Smith and with Walde
mar Soennichsen at the piano and
the rich melodious voices of the mem
bers mingled in a number of the
popular and once popular songs of
the last few years, proving a decid
edly novel and entertaining feature
of the gathering.

CHOSE THE WRONG TIME
From Friday's Dally.
Last night being moonlighted, was
not the best time for the stealing of
the Victrola which was taken from
the school house of district number
twenty-nine, some six miles north
west of Plattsmouth. Some miscre
ant wanting to own a Victrola better
than they did to observe the law,
broke into the building last night
and carried the phonograph away.
As they were at work a neighbor
who was coming home from town,
saw the people and recognized them,
but did hot think that they were af
ter anything, and passed on home.
Now that the families of the people
to where this Victrola has been tak
en is perhaps not responsible for this
theft, but those who took it are, and
unless the machine is placed back
in the school house by Wednesday,
May 25, they will be arreted, and
there is an excellent opportunity to
serve a term in the penitentiary.
This thing has got to stop, and the
sooner that Victrola is placed back
in the school house the 6afer your
hide will be, so do not delay in the
matter.
You and Your Banker!

The saying that "these are days when
you should keep in close touch with your
banker" is more appropriate at this time than
at any other time.
No matter what financial conditions may
exist, it is always advisable for the individual
as well as the business concern, to be closely
identified with a strong, dependable bank.
Both in good times and in times not so
good, the First National Bank extends to its
patrons a service founded upon a willing spirit
of co-operation.
