and Omaha wa? tied up for some four
hours as the result of No. 2, the
fast Chicago-Denver passenger train,
crashing into the rear end of an ex- ,
- tra freight a few miles west of Ash
land. The passenger train was traveling
?Jxt its usual high rate of speed and the
snow that was being blown about
by the heavy wind made it a very dif- j
flcult matter to see signals and it j
was not until the passenger . train
was right on the freight that the !
danger was seen by the engineer cfi
the pasenger train.
The way car of the freight train
was almost demolished and the re
mains of the car piled on the loco-
motive of the passenger train, which
was also so badly damaged that it
was necessary to secure another en
gine to pull No. 2 cn into Omaha af
ter the track had been cleared of .t
the wreckage.
As a result of the collision. No. 2
did not reach Plattsmouth until 9
o'clock last night, being rcur and a i
half hours late. I
There was no one injured in the
wreck which was most fortunate and
the passengers on No. 2 experienced
only a shaking up a3 tLe result of
the collision. Fortunately there was
no one in the way car of the freight
at tb.e time.

My Dear Mr. Sharp:
I have read with considerable in
terest the article which appeared in
Monday's Plattsmouth Semi-Weekly
Journal, entitled "Ships that Pass in
the Night."
You certainly deserve a great
amount of credit for the work that
you have done and the interest you
hove taken in the affairs of your
community.
You have surely made it plain to
the people of your community that
the industry of which you are at the
head has been of vital importance to
the community, and certainly there
are those who should co-operate with
ycu fully under the circumstances.
Of course, it is extremely hard to
raise the money right now. especially
for industrial concerns, but neverthe-
lers. there always seems to be money
available if the owners of it have
the willingness to co-operate with
those who need it.
The writer feels that he can ap
preciate somewhat the position you
are in and as we all know the part
year has certainly been a hard one

lines and models which we have

We believe that. business 13 going to

KEEPING THE DOLLAR
BUSY IS OUR TASK
Don't Bury It Where It Can't Be
Used to Do the World's Work
In the Best Way.
If a ifarmer should raise a large
food crop and then after he had fed
his family 'bury the balance of his
products tin Che ground, what would
you think of him?
What would happen to the coun
try if the clothing manufacturers
and shoe men and the packers, and
ether producers, just toop out en
ough clothes and shoes and meat to
take care of their own need3 and
then put all the rest of their stocks
in big boxes and screwed the lids
down? It is a queer idea, isn't it?
And j'et, people wiho earn money
land take it completely out of circu
lation, are doing exactly the same
kind of thing.
What lis money, anyway? Money
is metal or paper as the case may
be -guaranteed by the government,
or ibanks. Money represents shoes or
groceries or clothing or any of the
other necessaries or pleasures of life.
The Romans exchanged salt for oth
er commodities. At various times in
'the world's history shells, furs, iron
bars and other articles were in com
mon use. As it grew more and more
inconvenient for people to carry
around with them the products they
raited or created, it become"cu?Um
ary to have coins, which represented
those products and which were good
in exchange. Therefore, money, is
trade; it is commerce; lit is prosper
ity, because it stands for these
things.
When the individual works, he is
paid not in foodstGffs or clothing
but is something which can oe ex
changed for them, and that is money.
If the worker, be he laborer or exec
utive, Iurie3 that "money which he
does not (immediately need Jn a wal
let, a mattress, a. box or a safe, he as
withdrawing from his fellow men J
that which represents fod, clothing,
and amusements. If, on the other '
hand, he deposits 'in a bank, either)
in a checking account or a growing
interest account, it i3 still available
to him at any time, it is safe from
fire and thieves and becomes an ac-j
ctive factor in trade. j
The bank is the great clearing
houce for a community's business. It
is the acme of conservatism, safety
and good citizenship to see to it that
money is never Idle, tht It is made
to ofil the wbeels of nrogress and. at
the same time, to produce more
money fcr him who owns it.
