From Wednesday's Daily Last evening Platte lodge No. 7, I. O. O. P., of this city very fitting ly observed the 107 anniversary of the Odd Fellows in the United States and also the 64th. anniversary of Platte lodge No. 7. The attendance was large and the keenest interest shown in the splendid program that had been arranged. The Odd .Fellows which is one of the largest fraternities in the world was organized in this country, April 26, 1818 by a few of the fraters from England that had located in Balti more and who had been drawn to gether by the fraternal ties and de cided that they would establish here an American branch of the order and today this order exists in all parts of the North American continent and carrying out the great principles of the order. The establishment of Platte lodge in this city was on August 29, 1862, and this was the second fraternal order to spring up in this city, the first being the Masons that had es tablished a lodge here in 1858 and snortiy alter the uuu l-eliows were established here, they joined with the Masons in the erection of the building on lower Main street that is now used by the I. O. O. F. as their meeting place altho the Masons have long since disposed of their builtl- ng share. The first noble grand of the Odd Fellows here was R. M. Clark, while the first secretary was Burwell Spurlock, who is still liv- ng at York, Nebraska. The meeting last evening was one that was filled with the greatest of interest to all of the members and many of the old time leaders and imes were recalled by the older mem bers of the lodge in their reviews of the past which featured the meeting. A. R. Johnson, Vice Grand, at the opening of the meeting favored the audience with a few appropriate re marks on the history of the Odd Fel lows and particularly that of the local lodge which has for so long existed in this community and play ed an important part in the history of the city. Mrs Millie Bulin favored the large sized audience with several very clever numbers on the piano accord- ian that was most entertaining and pleasing to all of those who were in attendance. Miss M,arie Kaufmann, who has been an active leader in the work of the Rebekahs for a number of years was present and gave a fine show ing of the views of her recent Europ ean trip and which was truly a de- ight to all of the members of the A Big Drop Speaking about $20 "Bill," a customer said to us the other day, "how does it come you can sell these clothes so cheap has there been a big drop in clothing prices?" Here's what we told him, "no there has not been a big drop in clothing prices. Generally speak ing clothing is about t,he same it has been for the past 3 or 4 years. . The big drop was in 1920 &. 21, when prices tumbled from a war basis of $50 to $75 to the present basis of $25 to $50. But that does not explain $20 "Bill." He is the product of a big na tional chain store buying organization of which we are a part. Our savings are passed on to you. You can just figure you are sav ing $5 to $10 over present standard prices with $20 "Bill." Todays Special Boy's Odd Knickers 50c C. E. W escott's Sons "See It Before You Buy It!" W. C. T. U.

From Tuesday's Dally A hearing was had in the state supreme court at Lincoln yesterday on a motion filed by the defendant in the case of the King of Trails Bridge Co. vs. the Plattsmouth Auto and Wagon Bridge Co., the motion of the defendant being to dismiss the appeal of the plaintiff company. In the motion the defendants contended that the plaintiff company had low ered their rates as well as the de fendant company to a figure below that set by the district court and therefore had not grounds on which to seek to have the case reversed as tried in the district court here as they had failed to comply with the rates as set by the court. The motion was overuled and the case set for trial Thursday. This is the action in which the King of Trails Bridge company sought to have the Plattsmouth Auto & Wagon Bridge Co., restrained from lowering their rates and which was tried here before Judge John B. Raper and who held that the bridge com pany had the right to lower the rates to a figure below that set by the dis trict court but could not name a high er rate than that fixed by the court. The case is being appealed by the King of Trails Bridge Co., to have the former rates placed in force. Since the appeal was filed the state of Ne braska has paid over their share of the money to purchase the K. of T. bridge. MAN WANTED Wanted Producers, men who can stand prosperity.
