At a suitable hour very dainty refreshments were served that added to the delights of the evening and it was a late hour when the young people departed homeward. The members of the board of di Tectors of the Chamber of Commerce met yesterday noon at the Hotel Wagner for luncheon and there tcok up eome of the problems that have arisen in the last few months to con front the residents of this commun ity, j Among the matters discussed was that of the paving of Main street and the general opinion was that the property owners along the street that is to be re-paved in the spring, should have an opportunity cf get- I ting together on the proposition and fixing on the kind, of paving and the manner in which it should be laid. One of the chief considerations rel ative to 'the new pavement will be that of drainage and there has been seme suggestion that the center of the street be given a Utile more of a crown and that on each side of the terways that will .be of considerable G.

Very enjoyable refreshments -were Washington, Jan. 24. The ques tion of a bonus for former service men again was presented -to the sen ate today thru introduction by Sen- I ator Simmons, democrat. North Car olina, or the live-way adjusted com; 'pensarion plan as an amendment to the pending measure providing for refunding of the war-time loans to the allied powers. Except in provisions for payment of the bonus, this amendment Is iden tical with the house bill taken up by the senate last summer .and re committed to the finance committee after President Harding had ad dressed the senate. Provisions for payment of the ibo nu3 bill call for the issuance of short term treasury certificates until in terest on the debt can be collected to retire it hem, and later the use of the principal of the debt, if and when such becomes available thru sale of the foreign bonds. Mr. Simmons declared he was bringing the subject up because for mer service men deserved the bonus and .because the finance committee of which he is the ranking demo cratic member, had given "serious consideration" to attaching to It the funding bill before the latter was reported (to the senate. It was said that as a result of (in formal conferences among democrats Mr. Simmons had been assured his colleagues would support his efforts to have the amendment attached to the funding measure. Senator Walsh, democrat, Massa chusetts, also submitted an amend ment, stipulating that any agree ment resulting from negotiations be tween ane proposed commission for funding the debt and the foreign representatives should not be 'bind ing on the American government un til the consent of the senate had been obtained. .

From Wednesday's Dall.v. The community was darkened this afternoon by a tragedy that wiped iout the life of William Nolting, one ' of the young f armers residing just west of the city, and which occur red at 12:30 as the result of an auto . accident on the highway only a block or two from the home of the unfor tunate young man. Mr. Nolting was returning home at noon from one of the neighbors and had reached the locality of the William Hunter farm, only a short way from his own home when the accident occurred. Just what caused the unfortunate accident Is not known but it is though it the steering apparatus of the car in some manner refused to work and the car crashed into the bank near the roadway and the unfortunate man thrown from the car into the roadway. The death was caused by the ibreaking of the neck of the young man, and he was found lying along the road near the front of the car when member:; of the family and neighbors reached the scene a short time after the accident. The deceased young man was one of the best known farmers of this portion of Cass county and a son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Nolting. He was L-orn and reared in thi3 community and was a graduate of Plattsmouth ihgh ichool. Mr. Nolting was married on March 9, 1921, in this city to Miss Ella Trichirren, who remains to bear the deep grief that the tragedy has cast over the family. He is aLio mourned by the parents and several sisters. In the great sorrow that has come ro swiftly upon the members of the family, they have the most sincere sympathy of the entire community, and it is a great loss to all who had the pleasure of knowing Will in his lifetime. The suddenness of the death has prostrated the members of the fam ily, and the date of the funeral ser vices will he announced later. ENJOYED VERY I NIL. J')JlUi LAST EVEHIHG Shew Increase of 105,000 Cars and Trucks Over Previous Year 1922 Outlook Optimistic. ! Retail sales of Ford cars, trucks and Fordson tractors have again ex ceeded tho million mark for the year , 1921, according to a statement given out today hy the Ford Motor Com pany. The Ford factory and assembly plant production figures reached a total of 1,00,740 cars, trucks and tractors for the year, 'with retail rales by dealers approximating 1, 093,000 which in the United States aicne surpassed tha 1920 retail sales record by 104,213 Ford cars and trucks! I The Ford company says the out look for 1922 is decidedly optimistic. In fact, concrete evidences already exist in that car and truck retail pales for December 1921, exceeded December 1920 sales by almost 25 por cent, and Fordson tractor retail r.a!es for the srme periods show an increase of over 100 per cent for De cember, 1921, as well as an increase over the total (tractor sales for the month of November. These fact3 seem to indicate thai not only are the farmers buying more freely, but that the general public "s becoming more responsive and re ceptive. Another point brought out by a 'comparison of production figures for tli a past two yeans, shows that Ford enclosed cars are graining in popu larity, as 23 per cent of the 1921 production were Sedans and Coupes js against a tot3l cf 18 per cent for the year previous. Recent redurlt'iors in Ford car and truck prices trought them to a new low level. The Touring err now sells for $348, the Runabout for $319. the Cour3 .for $580, the Sedan for $645, the Chassis for $2S5. and the truck for $430, all F. O. B. Detroit. This is the fourtb price cut in the past sixteen months. During that time the price of (the touring car alone has been cut from $575 to $348 a reduction of 40 per cent. Reduc tions on some of the other types have been even greater. The Ford company believes that this reduction, while not a large one, is especially impofltant at this time as it should go a long way toward stabilizing market conditions.
