MAKES GREAT IMPROVEMENT From Wednesday's Dally The Bekin building at 6th and Main streets has received a great deal of Improvement since it was pur chased by Mr. Bekin, the well known Omaha capitalist, and not the least of these is the changes that the own er has made in the courtyard in the rear of the building. For many years this court yard was one of the eyesores of the bus! nefs section of the city but such is not the condition now, as the new owner has gone after the task of making a clean up and as the result that section of the city is a credit to any other part of the town.

The real community spirit that Mr. Bekin has shown in his property interests here is one that the city can feel proud of and that- he ha3 become an extensive property owner here is the source of a great deal of pleasure. over in their car. x a n rinwier of WeDing Water, . ... . 1 1 i 1 .1 nnmA nnir irallnQ rtT thd f0 1 l- 1 1 u III a Plain BUU I r.iuco " v-.. t . rj , . m .. 11 ..n.i, i rt cago both Mr Ost and the sistetr ters in Nehawka on Monday of , brated Tropartic mortor oil which la enjoving the occasion very much.

I?, nn ft BMQ Where Customers Feel at Home Telephone No. 14 r Nehawka, Nebr. ESTABLISHED 183& A number of the residents of Cass county have started the very worthy move to secure a radio set for the use of the residents of the county farm near this city that will aid in making their lives a little more pleasant and giving them a touch with the outside world. The aged and unfortunate people who .make their home there have little from the regular routine to make life more enjoyable and the good people of the county are getting together in a move to secure a radio that may aid in a little pleasantness for them. The move is one that certainly will meet with a strong support from all sections of the county as one of the most laudible nature and which should receive the backing of the big hearted and kindly people of the county. It has been arranged that those wishing to make donations -to the fund do so by sending their con tributios to the Nebraska State bank at Weeping Water and the Platts mouth State bank at Plattsmouth. This is something that everyone should be able to give some small amount at least and will make a gift that will be most thoroughly appreciated by the resident of the county farm.
