THE MYSTERY DEEPENS
From Saturday ually
Strolling home from work the
other evening, just as the dusky
shadows of the evening were falling,
one of our prominent business men
was accosted by a stranger, who
said
The annual fall Indoor American
Legion carnival, an event of more
than ordinary interest In Platts
mouth, will be a four day affair this
year instead of the customary six
day attraction, crowding all the ac
tion of a week into four nights
The dates are November 13, 15,
16 and 17 starting Saturday night
and closing on Bargain Wednesday
On the opening night there will be
plenty of attractions for all, includ-
the Cass county hog calling contest.
with two cash prizes, music by the
Marshall Augmented orchestra, etc.
A handsome 50-piece dinner set Is to
be given away as a door prize.
Following a breathing spell over
Sunday, the attraction will be re
sumed the first of the week, with a
big night Monday. Gloomy Gus, the
celebrated radio announcer, will be
present; music for the dance will be
furnished by Al Finch's orchestra
and the door prize will be a hand

terpiece 5-tube radio. This set re
tails at $69.50, a chance being given
free with each 10c admission ticket
sold. The only requirement to win
is that the lucky person be present
when the drawing is held at 10:30.
Tuesday night will be another big
night with an equally attractive door
prize choice of either a $y.5U voss
electric washing machine or a $63

De Molay Chap

Fine Banquet
Parlors of the First Presbyterian
Church Scene of Host En
joyable Event.
From Saturday's Dally
Last evening the members of Cass
Chapter, Order of DeMolay with a
number of the parents and lady
friends as well as members of the ;
Masonic order, held a most delight
ful banquet at the parlors of the I
First Presbyterian church and which '
was attended by some fifty-one per
sons. The parlors of the church were
attractive in the purple and gold,
the colors of the Order of DeMolay,
these being carried out also in the
table decorations of the fall chrys-
anthmums.
This is the first large public gath
ering that the DeMolay has held in
some time ami was filled with the
greatest interest and enthusiasm on
the part of the guests and the splen
did array of young men that com
prise the membership of this chap
ter.
The banquet was presided over by
Morris Cummins, master councellor
of Cass chapter as toastmaster and
who was very well cast in this role
Mr. Cummins gave a short address
on the order and its work and which
was very pleasing to the members of
the party who have not been familiar
with the DeMolay workings.
Judge James T. Begley gave a very
able address on the history of Dc
Molav. taking first the history of
Jacques DeMolay, one of the victim?
of the persecution of the members of
the orders of the Temple in the early
history 'of France and who was con
demned by Philip the Fair of France
to the stake and was burned to death
in the square in front of the Notre
Dame cathederal. and thence the for
mation of the order for the sons of
Masons and their friends, which has
in the last few years grown into one
of the largest -orders in the United
States and has several branches In
Europe at this time. The virtues of
the order, the parental love and
obedience, the protection and main
taining of the educational facilities
of the country and the promotion of
the chivalry of the membership in
their dealings with their fellowmeii
as well as the good morals and clean,
upright living of their membership
were stressed by Judge Begley in his
remarks.
During the banquet the Masonic
male quartet composed of Frank
Cloidt. R. K. Knorr. II. G. McClusky
and Raymond Cook, gave several
numbers that were much appreciated.
Mrs. Knorr served ' as the accom
panist for the dtiartet.
The menu was one of the greatest
delight and was prepared and served
in the usual pleasing manner by the
ladies auxiliary of the church and
will long be most pleasantly remem
bered by all of those in attendance.

Fullest Sense
Secretary of Chamber of Commerce
Has Observation on Proposition.
Life is largely a matter of com
parative values; comparative morals;
comparative religions. A man to be
an expert mathametician would not
stop at arithmetic; a man to be a
schooled railroad executive would
not stop at driving spikes in the
ties. So values are largely balanced
by variety of experiences, and much
general information.
A visit to Chicago the first time
is apalling. One is overwhelmed with
the masses of people; the magnitude
of the business structures; the mon
ey required to build such a city of
steel, iron and stone! Yet, when
$1.05 per bu.; in Jan. $1.82; in
April, 1924, $1.25; the farmer who
had to dump his grain in September
lost this. In 1925 January wheat
was $1.51; in Dec. same year, $1.65.
This illustrates the change of mar
kets available thru extending deliv
eries over a period of time.
The average corn on Iowa farms
runs 2,00 bushels. After deducting
for seed and feed, approximately 1,
200 bushels left for market, which
would be two loads per month, or
100 bushels if marketed monthly.
In hiring trucks to deliver to mar
ket in a volume the cost at Murdock
is lc per bu., per mile. Storage are
7c per bu., for 6 months.
Farmers today in Kansas, and
points in Nebraska are paying $1.00
per bushel for corn, where they sold
last year for approximately 50c. This
could have been prevented thru
monthly marketing and putting aside
a surplus.
And again, a poor corn crop, by
utilizing the green feed, thru the silo,
and the dairy products turns failure
into profit. Some farmers near here
have a weekly income of $15 or $C0
a month from cream. Droughty
years, corn borers, will eventually
for his ultimate success, so that we
all may prosper.

the hundreds of thousands of men,
women and children swarming out
of those sky-scrapers at noon, I be
ing a farmer by experience, and in
stinct, always felt with pride, "The
farmer feeds this multitude. His
wealth builds the foundation for all
this city." A thing that filled me
with pride! And yet it is a truth
economically unquestionable.
We do not speak of a farmer as a
"merchant" because he is a pro
ducer, yet truthfully he is a pro
ducer, jobber and a retailer and the
highest type of a "general businesr
man" the world has produced, and
on account of difficulties encountered
in being able to organize, has in
dividually handled his own problems
unassisted.
Until man took a crooked stick
dropped seed, and covered it the
world was a nation of savages. The
stability of the heme, the city, the
financial world, has progressed only
so fast as men reached out and be
came farmers the first business of
mankind. If the farmers today would
cease to produce only what" they
needed to feed themselves, New York,
Chicago, Omaha. Kansas City, Den
ver, Pittsburg, Philadelphia, Boston,
Portland, and Seattle would crumble
into ruins like the old pyramids of
Egypt!
If every grain grower in Americr
and Canada could agree after de
duction of their grain for feed and
seed, to market the balance in twelve
equal deliveries monthly, market?
would be stabilized; car supply
equalized; a monthly cash revenue
secured for the farmer; better prices
from the merchant and less cost for
storage charges and interest in
handling the great volume that is
plunged onto the market immediate
ly after threshing.

farmers I have met since coming to
Plattsmouth, am sure the dairy cow
is becoming recognized as a farm
necessity. C. J. Fleischman of near
Weeping Water Just bought two Hol
steins. Says his boys in high school
can milk those cows before and af
ter school and pay their way thru
high school. A farmer's son in
school, has little time to help on the
farm, but he can take care of sev

method.
Personally I consider the farmer
is the natural aristocrat of America.
He stands bock of the success of
every business, factory, and merchant
in the country. And his failure is
