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.

and they reinfect the seed after
treatment. 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

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.. Mrs.
Spies, Mrs. Schutz, Mrs. Mayfield and
Mary Peterson. Several children also
accompanied their parents.
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.

out last evening to what is known
at. the "Walker" property on Oak

J large party of boys were reported as
raising a great deal of trouble and
in the opinion of the residents of the

Window's were broken out. the in
terior of the house badly damaged by

their alleged acts and explain how
the place had become the headquar

the home it has not been kept in its
foi-n.tr .state, while the changes in
the grades of the street have left the
building considerably up in the air
from the surrounding property.
