Farmers Start
Joining Chamber
of Commerce
General Community Interest of All
Residents Beginning to Be
Realized.
"The Christmas card of today is
often a cheap subterfuge for evading
even the thought of Christmas."
Yesterday W. F. Nolte, visited this
office and came in purposely to enroll
as a member of the Chamber of Com
merce. Mr. Nolte epressed apprecia
tion of th fact that the business men
of Plattsmouth are endeavoring to
get into closer contact with the busi
ness men on the farms, and that this
spirit of a closer understanding is be
ing felt, thru the Chamber of Com
merce notes appearing in the paper.
Mr. Nolte is a live-wire in the poul
try business, and has now his twelve
thousand capacity incubator install
ed. He says there is a great future for
the farmer in the poultry end of farm
ing. James K. Pollock is also a recent
subscriber to this organization, and
assured us of his interest and vig
orous support of this body which is
very encouraging.
Mrs. Elbert Young, furnished this
office recently with some very inter
esting information concerning the
community club of which she is a
member. It is these community clubs
we wish to know better join forces
and work out our problems in a broad
way. The best way the farmers can
help us, and themselves, to the great
er understanding of our mutual prob
lems, is by enrolling as members;
meeting with us; serving on our com
mittees; on our board; and let us
have this way a live active expression
of their sentiments, ideals, and
problems. Co-operation is a two-sided
proposition. If we make mistakes, you
should be with us to help put things
rifht. If our merchants, can serve
t he farm business men better join the
Chamber of Commerce .and we'll all
work these important matters out to
gether in a big friendly way. This
is no "white collared" organization.
The writer at heart is a dyed-in-the-wool
farmer, from hard farm work
not only in Nebraska, but Saskatche-I
wan. Florida, and Arkansas and
Michigan and has a fund of informa-
tion as to how other communities are
meeting their agricultural problems.
We know of two women, in this
state, left by their good father, at his
death, with a bunch of obligations,
who buckled into the farm proposi
tion with energy, hard work and
brains, and in four and one-half years
sold over $20,000.00 worth of hogs.
They make every acre of that farm
psy; sell butter, eggs, fruit, canned
fruit, cheese, and have brought their
farm into a paying business-run prop
osition with regular weekly income.
Th'? farmer is peculiarly taxed by
the bad muddy roads. If he maintains
an automobile, and a truck. Lis mud
tax will come to over $60 a year in
excess gasoline alone. This is a ter
rible tax on profits and resources far
surpassing any government road tax
to gravel our roads. The trouble with
the "mud tax"' is it is like the old
ocean "rolls on forever" while a bond
tax, or road tax becomes less each
year until paid out, for new construc
tion. This sixty dollars can be added to
per car or trucks he has to operate.
This does not include cost for skid
chains; worn casing; depreciation on
car; and a great item in loss of time;
and failure to contact always with
good markets on account of impass
able roads.
One of the finest things done by
the Legion boys, was to purchase all
items for their carnival from Platts
mouth merchants; the other was en
rolling as an organization with the
Chamber of Commerce. These boys
will build that auditorium and it will
tomo thru the great spirit of en
thusiasm and co-operation that per
meates the whole body.
O'lr bottling works closed down be
cause of lack of support from our
home merchants; our bakeries if they
fail will be for the same reason.
Plattsmouth is large enough to sup-;
port two bakeries in splendid shape j
and it is a great advertisement to fu
ture business here to have them with
us. Every vacant store an,d business
failure thru lack of co-operation at;
home, is a blow to future investors.
Nothing but simple plain business
proposition. '
The Parmele Theatre has been giv
ing us extra fine shows. Their pro
gram is high-cless and their prices

there is no competition. It shows a

mother and a faithful follower of
Christ. In her younger days her life
was full and varied, as she was a
real pioneer and bore with fortitude
the privations and hardships of the
pioneers. During the war of the re
bellion she gathered her children
about her, and anxiously awaited
the return of her soldier husband,
who enlisted in his country's service
and received his honorable discharge
at the close of the war.

Thursday afternoon at the Mennon
ite church, and were conducted by
the Rev. Sorensen of that church, as

Number of Christmas Carols will
Feature Christmas Eve Candy
Giving This Year.
From Friday's Dally
The members of the music depart
ment of the Plattsmouths Woman's
club will make a contribution to the
Christmas eve annual candy distribu
tion of the American Legion on Fri
day, December 24th, at the court
house, and where the Nebraska Gas
& Electric company will do their
part by preparing the large cedar
tree in front of the court house with
the Christmas decorations of vari
colored lights.
The candy distribution by the
Legion will take place at 7 o'clock
this year in order that the parents
and little folks who wish to attend
this feature of the holiday event, may
have ample time to get to the ob
servances that will be held in the
early evening in a number of the
churches.
The Legion's part of the Christmas
festivities will be merely that of mak
ing a free-will offering to the little
folks, who will then be able to visit
their own Sunday schools and
churches for the various religious
services.
The members of the Woman's club
music department have very gracious
ly consented to add a note of holiday
atmosphere to the distribution of the
candies by giving a number (of the
Christmas carols that will be a fit
ting prelude to the formal services
at the churches in honor of Christ
mas time, the early hour of the candy
distribution allowing all those taking
part therein to go to their various
houses of worship for their devotions
on the eve of the greatest day of the
Christian world's calendar.
The committee in charge of arrang
ing for the Legion candy distribution
has met with a very generous re
sponse from the members of the orga
nization and the occasion promises to
be a great deal larger than last year.
