RELIGIOUS LIFE
OF COMMUNITY
IS VERY GOOD
(Continued from rage 1)
Their Sunday school is perhaps the
largest of any in the city and is
organized and conducted along the
graded system with classes from the
tots to the grey haired men and worn-

pastors have tilled the pulpit at this j
than Rev. Frank Emory Ptoutz, the
.
present pastor, who by his personal
ity has contributed much to the ad
vancement of the church.
Another of the pioneer churches
here is that of the Christian faith, a
strictly Americifii church, and mem
bers of which faith were numbered
among the first settlers of the vicin
ity of this city. The church build
ing at Sth and Elm streets, shares
with the Episcopal church the honor
of being the oldest church edifice in
the city. In the last few year3 this
church has grown by leaps and
bounds and now has a large and ac
tive congregation, including many
live wire church societies that are
contributing their part to the ad
vancement of the faith and better
ment of the city and its surroundings.
In the Rev. Walter R. Robb, the pres
ent occupant of the pastorate, the,
church has had a strong leader and
in his charge the church has ex- i
perienced a real awakening that has
brought it to the fore as one of the '
leaders in the religious life of this j
city
One of the most handsome houses
of worship in the city is that of the
First Presbterian church at 7th and
Granite streets, a building that
stands as a worthy monument to the
splendid men and women who years
ago joined their efforts to give to
their faith a house worthy of the holy ,
church there are numbered some of!

nestly striving to give to their home
community worthy service and the
message of this faith. The dean of
the clergy of the city in point of
service is the Rev. H. G. McClusky,
pastor of the First Presbyterian
church and his brilliant work in the
pulpit has brought to the church a
great growth and given it a great
opportunity of rendering real service
to Plattsmouth and its surrounding
territory.
The St.-Paul's Evangelical church
while not as old in years as other re
ligious organizations, has one of the
large and strong congregations in
the city. -This church first formed
among the residents of the city of
German descent was able in a few
years after its formation to erect in
1S97 the attractive church building
at oth and Vine street in the heart
of the city and which still serves to
care for the spiritual needs of the
congregation as a house .of worship.
Rev. H. Kottich, one of the younger
ministers of the city is the head of
the church activities here and has
given a niosi faithful service in min
istering to the needs of his. church
anil enjoys a warm frindsliip among
all of his a:-sociat'js or the cloth.
There is also represented among
the religious denominations of the
city a v.-ry active Christian Science
church, their house of worship being
located at Gth and Granite . streets,
where they are giving to the world
their message of faith and redemp
tion through the tenets of the Chris
tian religion. This is one of the
modern churches of the city and has
existed here for the past thirty years.
There is a very large congregation of
members cf this faith and which have
a live organization in the work of
their church.
A short distance from the Chris
tian Science church on Granite street

resident pastor, but is served by oth
er pastors from different cities of the
state who on their visits here nna a

bershin that is located here.
In the south portion of the city the
Holiness church has a church build
ing and a real live and active con
gregation that have in the last few
years by their own personal endeavor
and faith secured their church build
ing and also increased their mem
bershin to a large number of wor

the conduct of the church by the
representatives from the larger con
eresrations at Glen wood and Tabor
from time to time and in the last few
years the church has grown very

There is also represented in the
religious life of the community the
church of Jesus Christ of the Latter
Dav Saints, which while not main

an organization of its membership
tthat is growing in numbers and rep
resents a distinct line of religious
thought in the community.

post of the American Legion enjoyed
a pleasing meeting at the Modern
Woodmen hall and which was attend -
by nearly forty of the enthusiastic
members of the Dost, who are aiding
in the preparation of plans for the
big drive for the community audi-i
tnrtnm ivhih it is Tilannpcl to erect I
by the Legion and for which the co
operation and assistance of the gen
eral public is to be asked in the
course of the campaign.
The finance committee of the Le
gion is preparing its plans for the
drive and hopes to have the assist
ance of a citizens' committee, acting
in an advisory capacity as well. Fav
orable progress and the evincing of
much interest in the new building by
the general public was reported and
the committee arranged to get the
last details of the plan arranged,
when it will be arranged in its en
tirety at the opening of the big drive.
The Leglonaires last evening en
joyed a smoker through the courtesy
of George Conis, one of the active
workers of the local post, and who
has recently become a benedict, and
this added to the enjoyment of all
those present. .
During the intensive days of the
community building drive there will i
be weekly meetings held on each
Wednesday evening and through the
kindness of Father George Pierce,
and the St. Luke's church, the Legion
will have the use of the undercroft
or basement of the church. for these
meetings, which are. to be held at 8
o'clock. .

Another of the important matters
of business was the decision to hold
the annual Legion banquet again
this year, probably on Wednesday
evening, April 1st. Some' able Legion
officials will be here for the occasion
and a big feed will be available to
all members who purchase tickets, the

Tennis club will call a meeting of

to take advantage of the early good

is expected to get under way here in
April, officers of the club state.
Interest in the net game in thia
city during the past year has been
on the wane, due to an extended epi
demic of "golfitis" over this terri
tory, as eome of the older and more
corpulently inclined "athletes" pre
fer the lighter exercise golf provides
in favor of the more strenuous game
of tennis and have consequently de
serted the net game entirely. How
ever, the tennis club has recruited a

and decorating of the metal fixtures

There. are several improvements
made recently and now in progress
that add to the efficiency of the shops
in turning out the material that goes
into all lines of car and locomotive
construction and among these are
electric welding machines that are
operated in connection with the
blacksmith shop where ther are also
many fires at this time constantly.
kept at full capacity for the manu
facture of the articles that are need
ed in the car repair and coach de
partments.
In the machine shop there is be
ing prepared the base for a large new
wheel lathe that is to be installed
this summer and in the making of
the base there has already been used
4 50 sacks of cement and the base is?
still far from completed, which gives
an idea of the size and weight of the
new machine that will add to the ef
ficiency of the department.
There is at this time at the shops
one of the new type of gasoline mo
tor cars that are being used on the
short runs for the accommodation ot
the passenger traffic, which is being
overhauled and equipped here for
service on the road. This is one of
the type of cars that is being general
ly used in short hauls and eliminates
for the railroad the necessity of the
train crews as the cars can be han
dled by one or two men with ease
and give excellent service. They are
being rapidly adopted by railroads
the country over as well as electric
motor cars to meet the bus competi
tion between short distances.
The section of the shops that oper
ates with the largest number of men
of any single department is that of
the freight car repair department,
where the refrigerator cars are re
built and repaired.
These refrigerator cars are strip
ped in the open yards, all of
: the ma -
aved and
he work-
terial that can be reused Is saved
placed back in the cars by th
men, cutting down the expense of
new material to a great extent. The
cars are then given the repairs on the
trucks' and frames and taken to the
building formerly used by the steel
car shop where the haircloth and
paper lining is placed and then the
wood portion of the car given the
attention of the workmen, bunkers
built in the car to prepare them for
service and then they are given the
coating of paint that will send them
forth all ready for service. The paint
is applied by machinery, being spray
ed on the-cars and is a very rapid
process of work; In this department
there are turned out from thirty to
thirty-five cars per month, averaging
better than a car a day that goes out
to be used in the rolling stock of the
I'.urlington, and every one of these
cars is given the best of workman
ship before they are allowed to leave
the yards.
Each department of the shops has
a distinct and important part to per
form in the day's work and the busy
workmen in the mill, machine, black
smith, tin and upholstery shops are
kept rushing to get their supplies
ready that may go into construction
of the cars and coaches that are
built by the truckmen, carpenters i
and repairmen and completed by the;
painters. j
Another detail of construction and I
repair looked after here is the elec-'
trical system, most of the main linej
baggage cars being equipped with a J
lighting plant, including generator
and storage batteries. There are also
looked after and kept in shape here.
The facts and figures as to the
shops of the Burlington here is some
thing that shows the large amount
of work that is carried on and the
amounts that the railroad is paying
out each year in the community. In
the past year there was heavy repairs
or practically rebuilding of 24 1 pas
senger coaches, including lf llrnt !
class standard dining curs. Tliorrt
were fifty-three passenger coacln-M !

department of the shops. I
In the shops nere are also mn un -,
factured all the parts for frcltflit cur
repairs used west of tho river. Hei
all the lumber used is prepared and
all headlights are rcHilvered, u well
as the plating of ull fixture uno.l on
the lines west.
The blacksmith shop has uel IMS
tons of round iron und Mo Ion of
bar iron. The planing mill, alt hough
of small size, turned out In lltn pant
year a total of 2,921,42i feet of lum
ber, comprising oak, birch, popular
and other lines of wood unel tit ear
work. All of theso items for the year
included the tlm& of a two weelm'
lay-off in the shops, and uro luod on
a 50-week year's production.
Of the amounts that the IturlliiK
ton has paid out in the yeur, of par
ticular interest is the fact that over
$4,000 was paid to the water com
pany and $i,899.48 to the light com
