From Thursday's Pally
Last evening the members of the
Plattsmouth Rotary club to the num
ber of 11 motored to Nebraska City
where they were the guests for the
evening of the live wire organization
of that city and enjoyed the first dip
into the Rotary work.
The banquet was staged at the
Frontier hotel, one of the leading
hotels of the Otoe county eiry and
the menu was one that pleased and
satisfied to the limit the members of
the party of visitors.

one of the live organizations in this
part of the state and proved real en

from up in Cass county.

ka City club and who professionally
is the editor and publisher of the
News-Press one of the enterprising
daily papers of the state. Mr. Sweet
introduced the different speakers of
the evening and proved a presiding
officer of more than exceptional abil
ity.
The Rotary members enjoyed their
songs under the leadership of Harry
Rice who has been well named by
Ned Abbott as the Caruso of the
Rotary and these songs and music
afforded was a fitting opening of the
very fine toast list.
The visitors from Plattsmouth
were given welcome by President
Hyde Sweet and assured of real Ne
braska City hospitality that was more
than realized in the pelasant evening
that followed.
The response was given by Prexy
Scarl Davis of the Plattsmouth club
which was clever and up to the usual
high standard of the efforts of the
genial local head of Rotary.
The Plattsmouth delegation show
ed their musical ability 12 thfsongs
that they gave at the banquet and
which entertained the tree planter
members.
One of the impressive features of
the banquet was the charge given tr
the new members of the Nebraska
City Rotary club who were inducted
into the work. Carl Aldrich was the
orator that gave the charges and
which were most impressively offered
and gave to all of the members of the
party a fuller appreciation of the
work of Rotary. The members re
ceived were Grove Porter, Morton
Steinhart and G-. G. Warren.
Superintendent R. E. Bailey of the
Plattsmouth city schools was then
called upon and responded very
pleasantly to his toast on civic and
personal advantages of Rotary.
"The Meaning of Rotary" was the
theme of the main address of the eve
ning and which was offered by the
Rev. Theodore Saurer, rector of the
St. Mary's Catholic church of Ne
braska City and who is an enthus
iastic supporter of the purposes and
ideals of the Rotary club in his own
community and the nation.
L. D. Hiatt, one of the Plattsmouth
"bunch" was also called upon and
his offering was a most delightful
and pleasant feature of the evening.
The banquet was closed with "Am
erica" and taps and at the conclus
ion of which after a short visit the
Plattsmouth delegation started the
journey homeward.

GOES TO ROCHESTER
From Thursday s .Daily
Edward Donat, Jr.. of this city,
who has for a period of several
months been suffering a great deal
from the effects of stomach trouble
in a very severe form, is now at
Rochester, Minnesota, where he will
be examined by the clinic at the Mayo
hospital in the hopes of determining
the exact cause of his trouble and
secure relief if this is possible. Mr.
Donat has been feeling the effects of
this trouble for the past year in
varying forms and in the last few
months it has grown more severe and
caused him a great deal of appre
hension. So far there has been no
word received as to his condition by
the members of the family and they
are anxiously awaiting word from
him as to the results of the examina
tion. Hatchery Here

Fine Results
Establishment in This City Bringing
Renewed Interest in Poultry
Raising.
From Thursday's Dally
The development of the poultry
business in this part of the state has
ben quite large in the last few years
and has brought to a great many of
the farmers most profitable returns
from the sale of the products of the
hen and the sale of poultry.
As the poultry industry has de-
veloped there has come a more gen-'.
eral desire to specialize in certain
lines of purebred strams of poultry
the best layers, the most success
ful strains for the use on the mar
ket.
The establishment of hatcherines
in this city has furnished a means
of still further Increasing the scope
of the poultry business and the Mor
row hatchery in the heart of the
city and the TV. F. Nolte hatchery
at the outskirts of the city gives the
means of securing a much larger in
crease In the feathered popule.?ion of
the county and many orders for the
live chicks produced from thorough-
bred eggs, have been received at both
i v. r 3 a v, .iAf
of the hatcheries and the result of
the work of these two new indus
tries has been most pleasing
Those who have visited either of
the local hatcheries have been very
much pleased with the manner in
which the plants are handled and the
Morrow hatchery especially, located
on Chicago avenue near the K. of C.
hall has had a large number of call
ers to watch the production of the
little feathered beauties of different
strains of poultry, which will in the
future be factors in the advance
ment of the poultry industry of this
part of the state.
More and better poultry on the
farms is one of the needs of the
hour and with the services of the
hatchery added to the individual in
cubator plants and array of setting
hens should give some real results
in the line of poultry raising for the
coming year.

Suit Filed in Omaha.
From Thursday's Dally
Louis Leiner, well known former
resident here and now engaged in the
operation of a restaurant in Louis
ville is the plaintiff in an action for
$1,731, which it is alleged is due Mr.
Leiner from Gaylord Wilshire of Los
Angeles, who is in Omaha lecturing
on "Electro-Magnetism" in connec
tion with the Iona company promot
ing the special course of treatments.
The World-Herald has the follow
ing in regard to the filing of the suit
in Omaha yesterday.
Leiner alleges in the petition filed
by Attorney R. T. Coffey that on July
13, 1920, Wilshire sold him 1,731
shares of stock at $1 a share in the
Consolidated Wilshire Mining com
pany, represented to him as owners
and operators of a mine at Bishop
Creek, Cal., filled with paying ore.
Leiner alleges that Wilshire repre
sented the mine as a paying proposi
tion, where a large number of men
were employed removing and putting
the ore on the market. He alleges
that Wilshire told him that machin
ery valued at over two million dollars
was being operated at the mine, all
of which representations, Liner says,

the strength of which he invested the
money.
TpinVr alleges that the Ktock is
worthless. On seeintr Wilshire's nic-
ture in advertisements of the Iona
company, he came to Omaha to con
sult with his attorney.
Gone to Kansas City.
He has known Wilshire for 30
vears, having previously traded min
ing stock for Brazilian rubber stock
with him, he said. No dividends have
ever been paid on the stock, he says.
At his local office it was said that
Wilshire had left for Kansas City late
Wednesday afternoon. He had check
ed out of his room at Hotel Fonten
elle. Wilshire is reputed to be a wealthy
investor in California, former lectur-
er on socialism and at one time editqr
.... .
of a socialist magazine. In literature
advertising his "cure-all" apparatus
1 he features a resemblance to George
Bernard Shaw, plawright, with
whom he says he corresponds.
Attorney Coffey said that Leiner
phoned Wilshire on his arrival in
Omaha, and that later the attorney
was called by someone who said that
Wilshire could not remember the
stock transaction but that he would
be glad to i.eet the complainant. He
was served with summons by a deputy
sheriff during a lecture he was giving
immediately after the petition was
filed at 2 p. ia.

GIVES WORDS OF PRAISE
From Wednesday's Daily
The representatives of the state of
Nebraska which each year visit the
offices of the county terasurers over
the state have just completed their
work here at the office of county
treasurer, John E. Turner, their task
being the check on the year closed
during the regime of Miss Mia U.
Gering.
The examiners who had charge of
the work in this county were F. B.
Honza and O. G. Peterson, two of
the best of the expert accountants
employed in the state treasurer's of
fice. In their checking over the work
the auditors found everything in the
very best of shape and have strong
words of praise for the splendid man
ner in which Miss Gering has con
ducted the office of which she was
the head for the past few years.
In their statement at the close of
the work the accountants state that
the books are perfect and neat in
their completion and very accurate
and show a very deep insight on the
part of the former treasurer into the
art of book keeping and auditing and
which they feel should be acknow
ledged as due the former treasurer.
Miss Gering has long enjoyed a
very extensive reputation for her
splendid ability in this line of work
and on previous auditing of the books
by the state examiners has received
warm words of praise for her work.
Parties having Designers and De
lineators at the Bates Book and Gift
Shop are requested to call for them
at once.

Enjoy a! Period
Costume Party
Home of Mrs. William Baird Scene
of Unique and Enjoyable
Party of Ladies.
From Saturday's Daily
Yesterday afternoon the ladies of
Chapter F.. P. E. O., met at the home
of Mrs. William Baird and for the
course of the afternoon the hands
of time were turned back for many
years to give the members of the
chapter an appreciation of the styles
of the years gone by when milady
wore what to us seems strange and
varied garb.
This feature of the program was in
charge of Mrs. Evi Spier and in her
pleasant manner she gave' short
verses descriptive of the costumes and
the periods that they represented
from early colonial day to the pres
ent time.
First there was the colonial dame
of 1740 and which was portrayed by
Mrs. F. L. Cummins. ? There was then
the lady of the glory of the empire
period when Napolson was at hir
height of glory an'l ij. this Mrs. Char
lotte Patterson appeared. Th next
wa3 when the girl of 1S40 came upon
the scene, this being enacted by Mrs.
L. O. Minor while the flapper of 1831
was presented by Mrs. C. E. Hart
ford. The gown of the civil war days
the height of the crinoline period
was given by Mrs. W. A. Robertson.
From here the hand of time advanced
to the period 1SS0. when Miss Elea
nor Minor appeared in the role of a
little maid of that time, her custume
being one her grand-aunt had worn
when a child in that time. For the
lady of 1SS5 Mrs. H. F. Goos appear
ed most charmingly while for the
social leader of 1S95 Mrs. P. T.
Heineman was jnost pleasing. Mrs.
George O. Dovey appeared as the lady
of 1900 when the fashions again
made a change and the review of
costumes was closed when Mrs. Luke
L. Wiles presented the lady of 1927.
The afternoon was closed by the
serving of dainty and delicious re
freshments served by Mrs. Baird and
which proved a delightful finish to
the occasion.
ROADS ARE SLIPPERY
From Thursday's Dally
Parties from this city who were
out in the county yesterday and
traveled over the country roads
found the going very disagreeable
with the mud making the highways
hard to travel over, save when the
districts where they are graveled
highways and it is needless to say
that the gravel was never more ap
preciated than it was by the travel
ing public that had come miles
through the mud and bad roads.
Let us speed the time that there
will be a great system of graveled
highways over the county that may
permit travel In all localities with
peace and comfort.
