Everv day the possibilities of Platts mouth loom up and shout at us to "get busy." This River Road is one of Platts mouth's most beautiful and attractive assets. It is urged the citizens of this city co-operate in this matter, and have this road pushed thru and put into fine shape to the county line. The Chamber of Commerce solicits your co-operation and suggestions In this proposition. ACCEPTS NEW POSITION From Friday' Dally Esper McCleery, well known resi- dent of this city has just accepted '.a position of traveling representative and distributor for the Robb Whole sale Candy Co., of Plattsmouth and Nebraska City. Mr. McCleery Is a gentleman of ability and pleasing personality and should make a very valuable addition to the Robb com pany in handling their increasing volume of business. CARD OF THANKS As it will not be possible to per- sonally thank the many kind friends Vineyards and Small Fruit Farms Offer Big Return Secretary of Chamber of Commerce Points Way to Develop a Paving Industry. Coming from a fruit growing sec tion of the Ozarks I am interested na turally in seing this profitable phase of farming encouraged and supported here. The grape offers one of the great est possibilities for our rough lands, and this soil and climate are ideal for their production. Have found the Nebraska grapes sweeter, firmer and larger than any I have inspected in the Ozarks. Grapes will produce commencing at the second year, but not in commercial quantities as a rule until the third year, and in full producting running from one to two and three tons per acre, normal av erage. At Nebraska City the asso ciation secured the growers a price of five cents per pound. Figures and money always talk. Give an acre a very slight yield of a ton and a half per acre and the gross returns on three thousand pounds is $150.00 per acre, which returns cannot be realized from general farming, and offer the small farmers an attractive investment. The grape, does not cost for spray ing like the apple or pear or tree fruits; it is less subject to diseases; and once planted offers a steady source of revenue for hundreds of years. One hundred and fifty dollars per acre is not to be sniffed at! We know our live business men and progressive bankers here in Platts mouth will be glad to call this to the attention of the farmers who trade and meet them daily. Also send them up to the chamber of commerce to talk it over. This section is free from the rocks that .make farming the hardest labor in the world, and if a man has any religion left in him after running a walking plow thru a rock field he is a wonder to be admired and re spected above the many. We have plenty-of rain. "Our frosts are late in the fall and stop in the spring early enough to justify this invest ment. Car lot production Is always the means of better prices; it is an in ducement for outside buyers; gives the local fruit growers organization a chance to more easily dispose of their shipments. Any suggestions in this proposition will be appreciated by the Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Tidd is gathering information along these lines, that will be of great value to the farmers and merchants of this section. This offers a mid summer or early fall cash revenue for farmers, before corn is on thee market, and means more even and general distribution of cash buyer? and more stable condition of local finances. Let's consider this care fully. W. G. DAVIS. YOUTHS RECEIVE SENTENCE From Thursday's Dally This morning in the district court Rvivpstpr Straube and Claus Jalin- ski, two young men charged with the robbing of the store or tne iviuruocK Mercantile Co., a week ago Monday, were given a hearing. The young men on being arraigned and hearing the complaint read against them by County Attorney W. G. Kieck, entered a plea of guilty to the charge and were given an op portunity by the court to give any reason why they should not be sen tenced for the offence.

Possibilities of Forming Athletic Club in This City Edward Brantner of This City Head of Similar Clubr. in Northern Nebraska Towns. From Friday's Daily While in conversation with Ed ward Brantner, manager of the Hotel Perkins, a few days ago, Mr. Brant ner was telling of the interest and general benefit that the young men of his former home, Pender, and other towns in that part of the state derived from the use of an athletic club. This brings up the thought of why such an organization would not prove a real success in this community during the long winter months and furnish the young men with the means of getting good healthful ex ercise and creating a real interest in the athletic sports that would be a good thing for not only the young er men but those a little older could enjoy the exercise and acquire skill in the various sports that the gym would develop. Mr. Brantner states that a club of from fifteen to twenty members could be very easily handled and a room equipped fcr their use without a great deal of expense and small monthly dues would keep the equip ment and cost of maintaining the club up in good shape. A club of this kind would ha-ve aiaont".' otner spoits, boxing :;jiu wrestling as well as apparatus toui n ing that would aid in the develop-j ment of the young men and keop the older ones fit and trim. There are a number of the t'fver boxers nr.l 'vn.stlers in Omulia nd Ccn:til Bluffs who would be glad to come down occasional and help out in the coaching and assisting of the local club and help it a complete suc-j cess. There was a string of these clubs formed at Pender, Wisner and sev eral of the towns in the, northern part of the state while Mr. Brantner was a resident there and which fur nished a great deal of pleasure and interest not only for the members of the clubs but the general public in that part of the state. This could be the case here with the interest of a number of the athletically in clined young men and would be the source of providing, a great deal of entertainment for the public in var ious athletic events after the club had been in good running order for a few months. The proposition is a good one and should be thought over by the resi dents here so that if they desire one it might be started by the time cold weather comes around. DEATH OF HENRY LAMBERT From Friday's Daily This morning Henry Lambert, for many years a well known figure in this county, passed away after an ill ness of some duration.

The deceased leaves a sister living in Canada and a brother in England, the only relatives as far as was known here.

Changes Made in Teaching Force in Public Schools Owing to Large Lower Grade Attend ance Changes to Be Made To Be More Efficient. from Saturday's Dally Due to unusually large enrollments in second, third, and fourth grades in the Central building, the follow ing changes will become effective ilonday: Miss Crook will be given the first grade and one class from the second grade. Miss Eastwood will be transferred from Mercerville to the Central building and given a room composed of pupils from the third and fourth grades. This will relieve the congestion in these grades. Mercerville school will be closed for the present and pupils fur nished transportation to Central building. Pupils now attending Mer cerville school will gather at their school house not later than 8:45 a. m. This will give the taxi drivers plenty of time to reach Central build ing by 9 o'clock. Since the road is now graveled to the cemetery, rainy weather will not interfere with this arrangement. Miss Hempel has been absent the past, two weeks and. Mrs. Ralph An derson lias been substituting for her. Since the condition of Miss Hempel'e health makes it uncertain when she will be able to resume her regular duties, the board of education has decided to grant her a semester's leave of absence. It is hoped that this will give her time in which to effect a complete recovery from the un fortunate railroad accident of which she was victim. Mrs. Gamer will take Miss Hem pel's work in Junior high school for the present. The small enrollment of the sixth grade makes it possible to run this grade in two sections in charge of Miss Rys and Mrs. Carl son. These changes make it rea sonably certain that no room in Cen tral building will be crowded for the remainder of the year. The enrollment a t Columbian school is so large that it has been necessary to transfer several pupils to Wintersteen hill school. Since the Winstersteen enrollment has been below normal, this makes a very satisfactory edjustment.
