THTJBGttVY, AUflrU2rr 12, 1935. PA2E8IX Experience Has Shown That Paying by Check is Ivlore 5han a Convenience It Saves Time and Money! It makes a written record, gives the customer the best form of receipt and obviates disputes as to whether or not a bill has been paid. Banks want to render this service and they do all they can to encourage their patrons to pav by check. It is now true, however, that the cost of this Service has so increased that small balances cannot be made to yield enough profit to cover it. Hence the necessity of a service charge. THEREFORE, on and after September 1st, 1295, the Plattsmouth banks will make a Service charge of 50c per month for handling all checking accounts of indi viduals, firms or corporations showing a balance under S50.00 or an average balance of less than 50.00 for the month. This service charge will be made against the account of the customer monthly. This charge is optional on accounts of churches or charitable organi zations and on accounts of customers with other ac - counts in the bank equivalent of S50.00. The rule will not apply to any Savings account. For further information as to this charge,-the reason ableness of it and the necessity for it, please consult vour own banker. i .: INTERESTING FIG URES RELATIVE TO -COUNTY SCHOOLS County Superintendent Miss Alpha Peterson Gives Facts on Schools.

This method is also quite cumbersome in that it requires thej soaking of the seed, tolloweu by sud sequcnt covering end drying before seeding:. The " copper carbonate method is simpler and consists of mixing two ounces of the dry powder with each bushel of wheat. The s:eed may be sowed at once after treat ment or stored. A revolving barrel or box makes a good treating device. A barrel cement mixer may be used if it is closed tightly. RETURN FROM SAD MISSION Ahorce Shower Bath. If the boys want a shower bath, let them make one. They will need a pail that holds at least four gallons of water, a medium sized funnel, ?i light rope and pulley, a piece of light rubber hose, a damp or clothes pin and a shower bath r.ozzel. If they are handy with soldering tools, they cancut a hole in the bottom of the bucket and solder the- funnel in place, but if they are not equipped to do it they should take the bucket and fun nel to a tinner and pay him to do a good job. They can fasten the pulley to a high beam somewhere so they canrun the rope thru it and pull the pail over their heads. The rubber hose goes on the funnel spout. The clamp or clothes pin acts as a faucet. The boys can fill the bucket with warm water, hoist it up, pull off the (lamp and enjoy themselves as long as the water lasts. The larger the pail the wetter and cleaner they will get and the more fun they will have. From Wednesday's Daily This morning. Mrs. E. M. Griffin. Mr. and Mrs. Horace Griffin, Alfred Griffin and Mrs. J. L.. Griffin of Ne bawka, returned home from a very sad visit at Pennsboro, Mo., where they were calledj by the death of Mrs. J. W. Griffin, one of the aged ladies of that community and mother of E. M. Griffin of this city. The relatives had gone to the bedside of the aged lady several days ago and remained until after the funeral services which were held on Sunday. From Wednesday's Daily The patrons of the Cass county schools will be very much interested to learn of many facts of importance that have been secured from the fig ures as to the schools, compiled by the very efficient superintendent, Miss Alpha Peterson. The facts as to the rural schools are very complete but owing to the fact that there are several of the city schools that have not all of their figures available it is impossible at this time to give them. There are in Cass county eighty six districts, of which seventy are rural school districts. These schools are housed in seventy-six frame, twenty-two brick and one stone building. There are 219 teachers in the schools of the county, who in the past year received $5S,67S.50 in sal aries. The teachers taught a total of 12,842 days in the school year. All the schools of the county were oper ated as nine months schools and kept at the very highest state of efficien cy. In regard ta the cost of the schools there are some very interesting facts given by the superintendent. There was $19,409 spent in the schools as representing the state ap portionment, the fines and licenses, the citv schools re-reiving the fines and costs in their own districts and -hieh is not included in the above. In the cost of the rural schools there was the sum of $77,641.05. covering the nioiiny that was raised by taxa tion and by apportionment. This will be less for the year 1925-26 as the levies made show the cost to be $69.24S.91. as many of the districts will find that they will not need to make levies this year owing to .mon ey on hand, while the new free high school tuition law takes the cost or individual pupils from the districts and makes a blanket tax on the whole county for rural high school purposes and In which the districts pay only their share. The value of the rural school prop erty outside of the equipment is giv en as $105.S57,02 for the year just closed. In the number of the pupils taught in the rural school there was a total of 2,208, including one pupil over 21 years of age. Three were 118 pupils who successfully passed the Eighth grade examination. For the coming term of school there are 327 students who have applied under the free high school tuition law and will be given the chance to take advantage of this feature of the law. The schools are now operated un der the latest methods and in strict compliance with the law which has raised their standard very much.

A HAPPY SURPRISE From "WeilnesOay's Iaily Monday being the 20th brithday at least of Mrs. J. C. Peterson, Jr., the neighbors decided among themselves to renew their own acquaintance and make a simultaneous call upon their friend. About eight o'clock they ar rived from all directions with baskets chairs, games, ect, and Mrs. Peterson thinking some mischief makers might be about turned on the porch light only to find her neighbors smiling at her from the porch and yard. Her surprise was evident but in her cor dial manner she opened the door wide and soon all were enjoying table games of various kinds, listening to the radio or visiting as neighbors will. Later some prepared plates of ice cream and cake and when these were served the guest of honor cut a birthday cake which she had made for herself and all ate a piece to the good health of their friend. After refreshments, imprompto singing and playing began and only paused while the guest was presented with the picture "Dawn" for her newly remodeled home, which was to remind her in years to come of this neighbor hood which has been her home ever since she began housekeeping. All joined then for half 'an hour in sing ing songs familiar to all and the company was surprised at their own talent. The husband, however, com ing home about this hour was also surprised but didn't brave the racket and awaited the departure of his noisy neighbors, who filed out as they came, wishing their friend many happy returns of the day. Those included in the party were Mrs. Elmer Webb. Mrs. Will Brink, Mrs. Arries, Mrs. Martin. Mrs. Wey rich, Mrs. Moore. Mrs. Lehnhoff, Mrs. Baird, Mrs. Staats, Mrs. Farley, Miss Jones, Mrs. Hayes, Misses Baird. Staats, Moore. Martens, Lehnhoff and relatives: Mrs. Peterson. Sr..

From Wednesday's Daily Commencing Saturday, August 15, and continuing over Saturday, Au- ' gust 22, a group of the leading busi ness men of the city of Plattsmouth are arranging to hold a great com munity sale that will surpass in its j value giving qualities any that has i heretofore been suggested or offered. Thi3 great August clearance sale will be foz cash, its prices being such that there is no margin of profit and the merchants in order to give the public the fullest bargain offerings must have the cash prices for the goods which in many cases could not today be bought at wholesale at the prices they are being oh'ered. As this sale is being featured in the middle of August, the regular monthly bargain Wednesday will be omitted and the shoppers will find that instead of one big day of bar gain offerings they will have seven of them to take advantake of and se cure some real bargains at the very lowest prices that can possibly be of fered. Every line of trade, in the city is represented in the list of those who are offering their wares at the big August sale which, will be a real eye opener to the shoppers of the com munity. The advertising matter for the big sale is now being passed out over the county and should be in every home in ample time for the shoppers to get in and participate in the real trading treat that has been arranged for their benefit and advantage. There has been nothing attempted on such a large scale in years and the advertising that is being placed in the hands of the shoppers will be something that they cannot fail to take the fullest advantage. Every road should lead to Platts mouth in the next week and the resi dents of Cass, Sarpy and Otoe coun ties as well as Mills county, Iowa, should be filled by the shoppers com ing in to enjoy the big bargains that have been prepared for them.
