V PIATTS3iOUTH SEMI-WKEKLY JOUPJJAX PACE SIS 5IOJTDAY. AUGUST 10, 1S05. t ITT" PROFITS! 4 The income of the Plattsmouth banks is derived almost wholly from loans. Obviously only collected and available funds can be loaned. A depositor receives credit for his deposit on the day he makes the deposit and proceeds to check against his - account. It may require from two days to a week for the bank to col lect the items so deposited. These uncollected items are called float and float cannot be loaned. It is a loss or expense to the receiving bank and adds to the cost of carrying checking accounts. But to obtain a simple illustration, let us disregard float and consider a net deposit of actual funds of 50 and let us suppose this deposit is to remain in a bank for one year un changed. What profit will it yield? How much of it can the bank lend and at what available rate? The bank can keep not over 70 per cent of it loaned and at an average rate of not to exceed 8Vc. 30 per cent or more must be kept in reserve unloaned. The account is handled once each day for 300 days by the bookkeeper and twelve monthly statements must be made up for the depositor to keep him informed as to his balance; a pass book and a check book are issued because the depositor has a right to check on the ac count if he wishes to do so. Adding the expense of labor on this idle account to the stationery expense and the net profit is nominal. But this is not the normal account. The normal account of S50 has 15 or more checks drawn against it per month, or 180 per year. By strict analysis it can be shown that active accounts of this character are unprofitable and properly justify a minimum charge of 50c" per month.

Sharp, a recent summer bride, for merly Miss Leota Hackenberg. The guests had come with many handsome and attractive gifts that were suitably presented to the guest of honor with the well wishes of the friends and will add to the charm and usefulness of their home.

From Saturday's Daily The American Legion post of this city which is sponsoring the move ment for the erection of the com munity auditorium and convention hall, has received in the past week two very encouraging donations from organizations that adds to the splen did showing of a number of the bus iness houses of the city and the indi viduals who have felt the response to the call for the erection of the community building, that the project is far more encouraging, i The residents of the city realize that the enterprise is one for Platts mouth, the securing of a suitable auditorium for meetings, entertain ments or athletic events, such as has been ofteiti desired in the last two years. The building that the Legion is sponsoring will represent in its com pleteness the general spirit of prog ress of the city, the unity of the peo ple in reaching out and helping put across the civic building that will place this city in the ranks of other communities in the state that can receive and properly handle gather ings of various kinds that may wish to meet in the city, or for purely lo cal entertainments and enterprises, i The first of the organizations to take up the assistance of the build ing fund was the Ad club of the city which gave the Legion of $100 for the fund and the strong wishes of the club for the Plattsmouth com jmunity building. The Ad club made jthe donation unsolicited, it repre senting the general spirit of the j Plattsmouth people to help out the j worthy project and in addition to 'the donation many of the members have heavy and very liberal dona tions to the cause as individuals and .business firms. I The second of the welcomed and ' i nn rpi'i t oil rlnriQttnnc r"i t-i lnct fivc- ning when the members of the vol unteer fire department, who are I boosters for the city a3 well preserv lers of life and property in time of j stress, voted to pledge the sum of $500 to the building fund, $250 -to be a cash donation of September 1 and $250 to be placed in the hands of the building on September 1. 192C. The fire department have built up a very nice fund by their investments, the receipts under the occupation taxes on the fire insurance com panies as well as the sums paid for nozzlemen at fires, taking from this sum of $250 that they will see it used in the aid of the new building. The firemen have been noted for their progressive attitude in many things in the past and nothing that has the best interest of the city at heart can fail to have the support of the firemen. These donations represent two very active organizations in the city and with the C. D. of A., the first or ganization in the city to make a con tribution to the building fund, shows that the entire community feels the need of the community building and are doing their best to make the building a distinct success.

Twiss and families and old time friends of Mr. Twiss who spent his booyhood days in this vicinity. It is about 35 years since Jesse left the old home town, but he has been back here since that time. He attended the public schools here when Prof. Alexander Mcintosh was principal and in visiting with a few of hi3 old schoolmates they had a good laugh over some of the pranks they played in those days under the eagle eye of the professor. Rockwood is in the southern part of Illinois, being even farther south than St. Louis, but east of that city. They made the trip in their Ford and are well equipped to camp and they had a "splendid journey. They have a family of seven children, but the eldest son remained at home to attend to things at their farm home. From here, they left Monday to drive to Big Springs and other points in that part of the state, where they hope to have a reunion of the Twiss family, all of the children, seven, be ing alive. J. J.

This corner has long been occupied by the frame building and now that it & to be removed it will give a very desirable lot for some neat building or residence property. The site was originally occupied, it is stated by the older residents, with several frame store buildings thai were destroyed by fire in 18S." and then replaced by the present building that was occupied by the late Dr. W. H. Sehildknecht as a residence and office during his lifetime and by the widow as a home for some years, br.t since lias oeen allowed to go more or less to decay and ruin. Another of the old buildings that are to be taken away is the German lurner nail on Washington avenue that is to be changed into a ro.-ide-nco by the present owner f the build ing. The old hall has been the scene of some real times in the years gone by that the residents here, in years past have participated in, dances, the old time German gatherings and fes tivals that featured the hall having been real gala occasions.
