c.f the prominent figures in the busi
ness life of this city as his factory
here which turned out the old famil
iar "Buds." was located here lor
many years prior to the removal or
the Pepperberg family to Lincoln.
This city has a great interest for
Mr. Pepperberg although his inter
ests have long since passed out of
the community, and the old town by
the river has many tender and happy
memories Tor this splendid gentle
man who is now in the growing twi
light of life.
In connection with the building
of the community auditorium here
there is one phase that particularly
touches the life of Mr. Pepperberg.
as the site that the American Legion
has purchased for the new building
is the onq where in the late seventies
Mr. Pepperberg owned a horrie and
where he brought his bride from her
home at St. Joseph. Missouri, to re
side and where the family lived for
a number of years.
The children of the family were
born in this city and the older ones
of the family reared here and grad
uated from the locals schools so that
Plattsmouth has a tender place with
Mr. Pepperberg that tbe years en
rich. That one of the old time residents
of this community is so generous in
his offering to the community build
ing is particularly gratifying to the
committee as it shows that the com
munity building is appreciated by
those who lived here in the years
past.
This is the third generous offering
from former Plattsmouth residents,
as Henry R. Gering of Omaha and
Fred G. Dawson of Detroit have also
added their part to the fund.

PROCTOR SUES
SPRA6UE FOR
$50,000 ON NOTE
Suit Is an Echo of Wood Campaign
in 1920, When $100,000
Advanced.
Chicago, Sept. 22. Disinterment
of the skeletons in the graveyard of
the Leonard Wood presidential cam
paign of 1920 started ' today when
trial was begun in federal court here
of the suit of William Cooper Proc
tor, Cincinnati soap manufacturer,
against A. A. Sprague, Chicago com
missioner of public works, for 50
thousand dollars.
Proctor is suing for half of a note
for 100 thousand dollars which he
gave to the Illinois Merchants Trust
company for a loan of that amount
to defray expenses of the Wood cam
paing. Sprague, who was a director
of the bank, also signed the note.
Proctor contends that this was done
as a co-guarantor, but Sprague'
counsel have contended that he sign
ed merely as a formality attendant
to his position as a director of the
bank.
After opening statements by Proc
tor's attorneys, the Cincinnati manu
facturer, former chairman of the
Wood campaign, of which Sprague
was treasurer, took the witness stand
and spent the rest of the day iden
tifying letters which passed between
him and Sprague in refard to the
transaction involving the note.
Proctor maintained that he had
paid the note on which was the
signature of Sprague as co-guarantor,
and that he had been given to
understand until the fall of 1920 that
Sprague expected to share the pay
ment. In a letter from Sprague tc
Proctor, dated July 9, 1920, Sprague
praised Proctor as a man willing to
work and spend his money for his
ideals. The letter said that Sprague
owed more money at the banks than
he could pay and could not meet his
portion of the note "at the present
time,", but would do so latter. Sev
eral other letters dealing with the
note, in which each man told the
other that he was hard pressed for
funds, were identified.
KEEP ON SWATTING THE FLY
New York. Fly-swatting cam
paigns are usually staged in the
spring, it being assumed that if you
kill one fly in April you automatic
ally destroy her entire progeny,
which under favorable conditions
should amount to many millions
later in the season.
In the fall, however, it is equally
important to swat the tiy, for it i:i
the fly that manages to hibernate
thru the winter that starts the now
crop in the spring.
Flies are especially dangerous in
carrying the germs which cause di
arrheal diseases fatal to 90 many
children, according to Dr. Donald B.
Armstrong of the .Metropolitan Lil'
insurance company.
"The fly is not discriminating
about the disease he carries, how
ever," said Dr. Armstrong, "it may
be the cause of infection in cas-.'s "f
typhoid, tuberculosis, diphtheria and
probably other diseases."
As cooler weather comes on flics
seek the warmth of houses and later
ciawl into any crevice they can find
10 hibernate. It is therefore of dou
ble importance. Dr. Armstrong poi til
ed out. to swat the flics that get in
doors in the fall.
For a mild after-dinner smoke, go

Saves Money Bakes Better Stays New
Any housewife ought to consider well the cooking and wearing qualities, the fuel
economy and the appearance of the range she buys. No purchase for the home
is more important than the kitchen range. You cook on it three times a day,
every day in the year. Your peace of mind and the health, energy and content
ment of your whole household depends on the better cooking that a NEW
MAJESTIC Range will enable you to do every meal.
It is false economy to buy a cheap kitchen range that wears out quickly and often
makes the best cooks fail. The only true economy is economy in the long run.
Therein lies the economy of the MAJESTIC. It cuts down fuel and repair bills
and its long life of never failing efficiency makes it cost less per year of service
than any other range in the world.
