M. D. BROWN, Jeweler Plattsmouth, Nebraska somebody surely was busy in mak ing the evils of dirt and rubbish hit the high places. In the rear of the business houses mere was a general clean up campaign and old build ings and sheds were either put in proper shape or repaired, old boxes and other accumulations removed so that the danger from fires was les sened very much and the general ap pearance of the city vastly improved Fire Chief Sandin was right on the job and did not allow anyone to get away where there was a chance to have an untidy spot cleaned up or any rubbish gotten out of the way. This campaign worked so well that we should strive to see that ev ery week has a Clean up day and that there be no rubbish or dirt al lowed to accumulate around ' the stores. or properties of the residents of the city where it is possible to do away with it.

The calendar of the month car ries with it the greater part of the important functions of the year and the first of these is the annual ban quet given by the Junior class to the seniors and which will be held this year at the M. W. A. hall Friday, May 12th, and which promises to be an event of more than usual inter est.

Any votes for her in the race will be very much appreciated by her friends over the county. METHODISTS CHEER WILSON AS OPOSTLE Hot Springs. Ark., May 9.

Police Chief Peter Johnstone in charge of a big car is doing his bit. , As the old soldiers met at head quarters they exchanged affectionate greetings and reminiscences.- Some had served in the same regiments and even in the same companies and their greetings were more than ordi narily warm. While, time has laid a heavy hand on the old soldiers, many are still very active and a few do not look to be nearly eighty years old. One of the oldest veterans, is C. W. Walthers of Lincoln. He is near the ninety limit but is well preserved and active. "Hello, kid,'' sang out one white- bearded ex-soldier as he extended both hands to a comrade. Then they both laughed heartily and fell to talking of old war times in the six ties. The registration bureau at head quarters is one of the busiest places in Lincoln. There registration for all of the representatives of the six state patriotic organizations is done. Frank P. Corrick, a member of the Sons of Veterans, is one of the reg istrars: Every Civil war veteran is asked to give his regiment, company and the state wherein he .enlisted.

POLLOCK, Phone No. 1 Plattsmouth, Neb NATIONALIZATION OF GOAL MINES WILL BE OPPOSED Vice President Morrow Predicts Strike Will Be Broke Before July 1 Tonnage Grows. New York, May 9. Coal opera tors are predicting that the strike in. the bituminous industry "will be smashed before July 1," J. D. L. Morrow, vice president of the Na tional Coal association said in an address before the National associa tion of Manufacturers here today. Nonunion miners are producing 2,000,000 -tons a week, he announc ed, and are 'daily increasing their output toward S, 000,000 weekly ton nage required to supply the nation al needs. The present available sup ply of bituminous coal Mr. Morrow placed at 47,000,000 tons. Output Increasing "In West Virginia," he said, "prac tically as much coal is being mined by nonunion men during this strike as was mined during a similar per iod by both union and nonunion mines in the state in 1920." Mr. Morrow declared the opera tors are opposed to any form of na tionalization of the coal industry. When John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers, speaks of nationalization of the mines, he speaks of nationalizing your indus try, he told the manufacturers. "He speaks of nationalizing the industry of the consumers." Cost Would he Higher "The government cannot correct over-development and run the coal mines any better than the operators can," he continued. "There is not any one alive who could estimate the increased cost of coal that would re sult under government ownership. If Your Clothes 1 have Style most likely they have everything else you want. It doesn't pay to put good style into poor fabrics. Good style always means careful tailoring. If you choose your clothes for style you are on the right road provided the price is right. Society Brand style you know. And they are real values --vat our 1922 prices. . Unapproachable Values in Men's and Young Men's Society Brand Suits at $35, $40 and $45 C. E. Wescotfs Sons If the present strike is won by the miners, manufacturers will either pay more for coal under union con trol or they will be buying from non union producers. And today they are entering the competitive market, and selling coal at from $1 to $2 a ton cheaper than union dominated mines can put it on the market. "Every great competitive industry in the United States is over devel oped. That is the guarantee of the consumer of any product in this country that he can get what he wants under reasonable conditions as to price and delivery. Whenever an American industry becomes overde veloped it then is immediately charg ed with being a monopoly."
