A real community Christmas tree,
with a treat from old Santa himself
for every boy and girl present is in
store for Plattsmouth this year.
The Nebraska Gas & Electric com
pany and the American Legion have
joined hands to arrange for this event
which will be held on the lawn of
the court house, where a splendid
pine tree is located and which will
be flooded with vari-colored lights,
placed thereon by employes of the
lighting company.
The Legion is raising from among
its own members a fund for the pur
chase of candy, nuts, etc., of which
a generous sized bag will be given to
every boy and girl who comes.
It is planned to have the band out
for a couple of numbers after which
Santa Claus will arrive in his big
closed car and officiate at the distri
bution of the treat to the children.
The affair will start promptly at 7
and be over by 8, in time for every
one to go to their own homes for
further Christmas festivities or at
tend the programs of the various
churches and Sunday schools.
The whole thing will be short and
snappy, but arranged in keeping with
the spirit of the season and no child
who comes will fail to be provided
with a generous treat.
This will doubtless be the only
public appearance of Santa Claus in
the city this season and he has ad
vised the committee arranging this
event that he has a new non-freeze
solution in his radiator as well as a
specially adjusted carburretor on his
ar so that cold weather will not de
lay his arrival.
The beautifully lighted tree and
he spirit of the occasion will be
well worth the time of the older folks
coming to see, so a large crowd is
looked for.
It is planned to make this the fore
runner ot a similar annual event in
he new community building, which
the Legion is planning to erect the
omiug year.
Let everyone get set for the big
event as it is so arranged as not to
nterfere with other observances of
Christmas eve.
Further details will bo given in the
ournal during the coming week.
In addition to this effort, the
American Legion Auxiliary is plan
ing to make a distribution to the
omes of needy ex-service men, not
only of candy, etc., but edibles and
toys, and they will concentrate the
fforts of their meeting next Friday
o working out this plan, which is
entirely separate from the commun-
ty tree and will be carried out dur
ing the later evening by members of
the Auxiliary.

THE YOUNGSTERS AT THE
NEBRASKA MASONIC HOME
From Saturday s Dally
After a residence of tive months at
the Nebraska Masonic Home, I still
wonder sometimes if it is not a
happy dream and that I may not
awake to find there is no such place
anywhere. It somehow reminds me
of the small boy who took his father
to the circus.
After observing the giraffe eating
the leaves on the tops of the trees,
he gave his father's hand a jerk and
exclaimed, "There aint no such ani
mal, is there, pa?"
The old folks forget their age and
are as happy as kids. The other
evening we were geing entertained
by music on the Victrola. A good old
waltz record was put on when all at
once Brother Wolf dropped his cane,
doffed sixty years from his four score
and eight, grabbed a nurse who hap
pened to be passing and tripped the
light fantastic toe till he stubbed it
and fell down.

another one by saying, "Why, you
sing quite well for an old woman
What part do you sing?" "Oh, the
air," she replied. After a moment's
reflection the first lady aisked, "Well,
that's soprano, isn't it?"
It is strange how some people can
see old age in others, but do not
realize it in thpmselves. I went to
the city last week. At the depot
was introduced to an old lady whose
hair was gray and her face wrinkled
The name sounded familiar, and by
closer observation I discovered she
was a woman I had tried to "spark"
some fifty odd years ago. But what
had become of those sparkling eyes,
rosy cheeks and smooth clear skin?
She had probably lost her beauty box
in the train.
I had to make haste and secure
my ticket. I squared my shoulders,
threw up my head and with nimble
step approached the ticket window.
I observed an old man with white
hair and wrinkled face slowly ap
