Agriculture col lege. The farm home' can be made just as convenient and as modern as the city home by proper planning and by the installation of modern prill i nmpn t anrl a nn meetn than in the city. A well-planned water system will furnish running water to the kit chen and bath room, a septic tank will take care of the sewerage from bath room and kitchen in an effici ent, effective and inoffensive man ner, heat is supplied by a heating plant placed in the basement and light is supplied from an electric plant and may be had in each room by merely pressing a button just as in the city. The house plans furnished by the Agricultural college incorporate any one or all of these conveniences and give suggestions for proper install ment. Individual preference is evi denced more in the matter of houses than in all the other buildings, but even though a particular plan does not met al) conditions it neverthe less gives valuable suggestions as to possible arrangements of rooms and equipment. A modern farm home will probably do more than any oth er factor in keeping the boys and girls interested in the farm and ad vantages. A list of available plans will be furnished on request to County Extension Agents or to the Agricultural college at Lincoln. HAS PEDAL TROUBLE From Friday's Pally For the past few days James K. Pollock, assistant cashier at the Farmers State Bank has been absent from the bank as the result of pedal trouble which has made necessary a slight operation on the right foot of the genial cashier.

While Mr. Pollock can get around to ?oine extent on the foot with the aid of a cane, it is a painfgul proposition and re quires that he keep quiet the great er part of the time.

Schwab, deceased, pskir-g permission be given- for the E2le of real estate to pay the debts of the estate which there is not suSciect funds on hand to do so now. William A. Robertson appears as the attorney for the petitioner in the action. MRS. DOWNEY AT HOSPITAL From Saturday" D&II7 Mrs. Frank Downey of Lincoln, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Chris Wohl farth of this city, has been at the Methodist hospital at Omaha for the past several days taking treatment and Jseing under observation, as it is thought that it is possible that she may in the near future have to un dergo and operation. The patient has been doing very nicely and it is hoped that her case will not prove serious and that she may soon be iible to return to her home restored to her former good health. GRADUATES AT HOSPITAL frcxa e.tnrd&r'a De.Hr One of the young men comprising the graduating class of 1925 of the Plattsmouth high school. Clyde R. Ptak, was a participant in the ex ercises in spirit only, as he is at the Swedish Mission hospital in Oma ha taking a course of treatment for his very serious illness of the past several weeks and which has caused a great deal of worry to his family and friends. While being out pf school great deal he was able to carry on his wrork at home and at the hos pital and with the result that he will receive the prized parchment with the other members of the class. It had been generally regretted that Clyde was not able to participate with the other members of the class in the features of the closing days of school, but all of the classmates and friends are hopeful that the treat ment may prove successful and that their friend and associate may in time find a restoration to his former excellent health. LONGER LIFE IN LONG HOSE Warm weather brings aching feet but not all the blame should be placed on the weather man. Short stockings press against the toes and cause discomfort. Thought the holes in stockings do appear soon, it is a pity that they do not come sooner before the short stockings take their toll of pain. Stockings long enough to turn under a little at the toes ill give ease to the feet with out cramping -the feet when the shoes are drawn on. Comfort and thrift may go hand in hand for the longer hose wear longer. DR. HAMILTON B. L0WRY IS DEAD AT LINCOLN, Lincoln, Neb., May 21. Dr. Ham-! iltrm R T .nwrv 7a.
