You II! thm Xmmil
Yes you have all waited for the decline of the price
of lumber and it has come, and you are needing the
buildings which you had thought to have had built.
During the time the prices of your products have also
advanced in price. This we are pleased to know.
The prices of lumber and building material has
suffered as much a decline as any could reasonably ex
pect. Really the tendency with the increased building
which is sure to come, might strengthen the market
seme.
The young pigs will be safer with a good, dry
warm place. The chickens will lay better with a sunny
warm house. And how about your home? Is it as
comfortable as the family need?
The world is going forward; let's us get busy.

Most News at the least Cost
If you are not numbered anions the
list of subscribers to the Platts
mouth Journal you are denying
yourself the privilege of receiving all
ihe Cass county news. The subscrip
tion price ($2.00 per sear) is no
more than you would pay for any
weekly newspaper and yet it brings
you twice the volume of reading mat
ter and is delivered in your mail bcx
twice each week, filled with the lat
ent Lappenings of interest from over
Cass county. Six seperate depart
ments carry the news from different
localities, while numerous other cor
respondents record happc-nings from
the remotest sections. Why delay
Mrs. George Jackson of Los An
geles, California, writes to her moth
er, Mrs. Martha Haddon and other
Louisville relatives, that she is de
lighted with the land of sunshine
and roses and in her humorous way
says if she happened lo die, at least
she would die happy as she was so
glad to be living out there. Mrs.
Jackfon was formerly Miss Clara
Had:lon, a graduate of the Louisville
hteh school and a popular young
lady.
She was married last fall and
moved to California shortly after
the holidays. Her husband is a pain
ter and decorator and is associated
with his father, who is a contractor
in that business. They have lots of
work,' as there is always plenty of
building going on out there, the cli
matic conditions making it possible
to build any time of the year. Mr.
and Mrs. Jackson expect to build a
new home for themselves during the
coming summer. At present she is
employed in a cotton and wool mill
were the work is easy and plefant.
Her many Louisville friends will be
pleased to know she is so well sat
isfied with her new home and will
wish her every success. Louisville
Courier.
Mr. Jackson was a resident of this
city for a number of months, being
in "the employ of Herb Cotton as a
painter and decorator, and it was
v, hil3 a resident here that he met
his bride. That they are doing so
well is pleasing news.
