Odd Fellows
Observe 107th
Anniversary
Members of the Order With the Re
bekahs Enjoy Fine Time Ar
ranged by Committee.
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."

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.
