IS OUT OF JAIL
From Saturday's Dally
The skies over old Nebraska never
looked more beautiful or alluring to
Mike Postello, of Omaha and also
near Avoca than they did yesterday
afternoon when Mike stepped forth
from the county jail a free man after
several days imprisonment on the
charge of transportation of liquor.
The birds singing "had a new sense of
joyousness to Mike as he emerged
from the 'Hotel De Quinton and it
was with no lagging steps that he
entered the car that was to hurry
his wealth in exchange for the Uni
versal cars, tractors and trucks.
FIXING UP HEATING PLANT
From Saturday's Dally.
One of the first acts of William
Barclay, the new manager of the for
mer Wagner hotel, has been to see
that the heating plant was placd In
first class shape for the winter sea
son and to have the boilers thorough
ly overhauled and put in the best of
shape for the coming cold weather
so as to assure comfort to his pat
rons and the traveling public that
make the hotel their stopping place
when in the city. The heating plant
is expected to be in Tirst class shape
within the next ten days and be
ready for use. It should not only
provide much. greater heating power
but also at a much less cost for fuel
than in the past.
PURCHASES NEW TRUCK
The firm of Lorenz Brothers have
added a new feature to their delivery
system that may replace the familiar
two wheeled cart they have used
since starting the store for the deliv
ery of meat. The firm has a new
Ford roadster of converted type that
can be used as a truck and which is
of the new 1924 model and Is now
being used in the delivery of goods
to all parts of the city. The new ad
dition to the store equipment should
add much to the efficiency of the
store.
The Ideal Purgative
As a purgative. Chamberlain's
Tablets are the exact thing required.
Strong enough for the most robust,
mild enough for children. They cause
an agreeable movement of the bowels
without any of that terrible griping.
They are easy and pleasant to take
and agreeable in effect.
Fall Styles
CfThe outstanding features in Fall styles
are the free and easy lines. Coats are loose,
the designers have given us plenty of free
dom in our dress and business clothes.
CJ Shoulders are slightly wider, Trousers
are fuller and straight hanging, Vests with
blunt ends are seen, as well as the peaked
points.
JMany new novelty weaves and textures
are introduced or Fall; Stripes and Checks
are still the thing.
How much will they cost?
New Fall Models $30 to $45
Not so new, $18 to $27.50.

Guest night at the Plattsmouth

able occasion. The parlors of the

By special request, Mrs. Thomas F.
Murphy .the corresponding secre
tary, in her own gracious manner,
announced the program. The first
number was a vocal solo Dy Mrs. &a
Roman with Miss Helen Wescott as
accompanist. This selection awak
ened tender memories of days long
gone by. Miss Ileen Ceder, teacher
of history and music in the junior
high school, rendered a difficult piano
solo with artistic execution. The
speaker of the evening, Superintend
ent DeWolf, gave a pleasing and in
structive talk on the constitution. He
dwelt chiefly upon the historical ele

office. Some very fine work was on nan insurance policies, private nan
insurance companies are saiu to nave

rail insurance. Private companies
will be compelled to pay out more
for losses than they collected in pre

The head of the division says the
hail storms of August 26. long after
hail storms are supposed to do much
display and in the Judging of Prin

splendid work. . .
Fruit and Vegetable Budget
Tuesday afternoon the Fairview
club met at the home of Mrs. S. I.
Turk. Each lady made out a Food
Habits score card. The cards show
ed fairly good food habits but rtom
for improvement. Next the Fruit and
Vegetable budget was taken up and
reasons were discussed for having a
canning budget. Later the women
will have a meeting on how - to use
the fruits and vegetables in various
ways. At the close of the demon
stration, the women made plans for
an exhibit at the county fair.

seventy losses to policy holders of
state hail insurance. These losses
amounted to $18,000.
The premiums which will be col
lected this year on state hail policies
total $84,331.25. A balance of $6,
000 in addition was on hand, but this
balance will probably be" used for
payment of expenses of the state hail
division. The premiums are not all
due in the state treasury until No
vember 1. The hail losses now ad
justed amount to $93,315. Ten oth
er losses are to be adjusted and added
to this total. It will not exceed $94,-
:000, with about $S4,331 to pay it.
The payments are to be pro-rated
among those having losses.
Sunshine Band Holds Meeting
The members of the Sunshine band
met at the home of Mrs. Fred Mel
singer Saturday, Sept. 8th. The kit
chen apron and bungalow dress were
judged. The demonstration team
made plans for practicing on demon
stration at the county fair.
PREPARE TO ATTEND FAIR
. Those who attend the moving pic
ture shows have little realization of
the large amount of work that is re
quired to provide their entertain
ment, not only in the many weeks
and months of work on the part of
the directors, but in the actual work
of showing them on the silver screen
here at home.
At the Parmele theatre the man
agement has ' two of the very best
Powers 6-B machines for the projec
tion of the films that can be found in
any of the small theatres of the state
and these machines are kept in the
pink of condition by the careful work
of the 6perators, no dirt or dust be
ing allowed to gather on the ma
chines when in operation. The use
of the two machines gives the public
the benefit of an uninterrupted show
ing and eliminates the long waits
which often used to mar the enjoy
ment of the movie fans. While the
films are running the operator must
give the machine his closest atten
tion and watch carefully that every
part of the machine i3 in perfect op
eration and the showing on the
screen perfect in every way and this
is not a3 easy a task as might seem
to those sitting watching the picture
flashing on the screen.
The Parmele machines have three
quarter inch carbons used in the ma
chines for the production of the in
tense light and to avoid all danger
of fire the booth is of tin and asbes
tos construction and nothing that
might cause a fire is permitted in the
booth. ,
The machines have a running pow
er of from nine to fifteen minutes per
reel and it is very seldom that there
is anything to mar the excellent run
ning of the pictures at this popular
playhouse.
