Bids for Legion
Building are to be
Opened April 15
Prospects Bright for a Year of Build
ing Activity in Plattsmouth
Good Roads Great Help.
With contract let for the erection
of the new fire-proof building at the
' Nebraska Gas & Electric company's
sub-station in the south limits of the
j city and bids on the new Legion com
jmunity building to be opened April
1 1 5th, prospects look bright for a year
of building activity in Plattsmouth.
-In addition several new homes and a
considerable amount of remodeling is
jsaid to be under consideration by var
jious individual property owners.
There is an old saying that the
wheel that dips on one side of its
and in its turning the other side will
1 eventually be reached. It looks off
I hand like the beginning of better
! times and improved conditions in
hard-hit Plattsmouth.

I The partial construction contract
I covering the Legion building will
j amount to some $12,000 and more to
follow. It is planned to have work
started on this as soon after the 15th
of this month as the successful bid
der can get materials on the ground,
as the building committee is desirious
;of getting the walls up to a point suf-
jficiently high to protect the excavat
led basement from caving. Bids will
, be publicly opened on the evening of
'April 15th, at the Chamber of Com
jmerce rooms. Local contractors, sev
eral in Omaha and one in Lincoln
have taken out plans and will submit
bids on this work.
Consideration of a moderate-sized
paving program for the coming sum
mer also affords evidence that com
mercial activity will not be at a
standstill in Plattsmouth in 1927.
Another great contributing factor
to the promised era of better times
locally is the improved road condi
tions which are soon to be available.

Ten Years Ago
Today was a
Critical Time
American Legion Will Revisit Scenes
That Were Strange to Amer
ican Eyes.
From Wednesday's Dally
It was ten years ago today. News
boys screamed, headlines bared and
pulses pounded faster. The blaze of
the world conflagi ation had at last
leaped the Atlantic and fired our na
tion.
We called for men. They came,
crowding the recruiting stations and
packing the halls of the selective
service boards. The war had been
raging for three years. They know
the horror into which they were jc
ing. Yet they stepped forward will
ingly, eagerly, almost gaily.
Many of these young men are notj
here today. They hi've never returi;-:
ed. Thirty thousand crot sea shinins J
white among the green of reviving
France mark the spots to which we I
sent them. Ten years! Ttime has!
filled in the jagged shell holes and
erased the deep gashes of the trench
es. Even poignant memories are
dimmed.
Yet there is one thing which can
not grow dim in our memories. The
issues of the struggle may have lost
their sharp outlines; the danger
which hung over the nation may be
like a cloud which has passed by,
but the sacrifices made by these.
young men shines out of the past
a clear, hritrht flame.
Guided by the beacon light of this'
flame thousands of American men
and women are preparing to cross
the Atlantic in a great pilgrimage to I
the fields of crosses. Men of The
American Legion who served as com
rades with the dead, and women cf
the American Legion Auxiliary who
underwent the anguish ot" having
loved ones at war, are those quali
fied to take part. They are making
their reservations now, on this dy
ten years from the day when fate
reserved a strip of French soil for sc
many Americans.
There is in this something which
turns us to the contemplation of
things that stir the emotion anJ
transcend the understanding. The
Legion is going to France to hold i
great convention. The convention
sessions will be held it the Troca
dero Palace in Paris whose report?
will be heard and resolutions will be
passed. But out on the banks of the
Marne, the Somme, in the woods cf
the Argonne. the hills of St. Mihiclj
and the flats of Flanders will be
other assemblages, more thought
compelling, more heart swelling
There the Legion delegates will stand
with bowed heads in convention with
their dead.
What will be the resolutions which
will come from this silent, solemn
convention? What will come into the
hearts of the men and women of
America as they stand there beside
the serried rows of crosses.? Only
those who go will know for the thin;1
is too big, so choking that it can
never come from their mouths after
they have returned. Maybe it will
be a clearer comprehension of thr
pirit which enabled these moulder
ing forms beneath the crosses to go
out and die for an Ideal when the
call came ten years ago.
HOLD ACHIEVEMENT DAY
From Tuesday's Daily
In the various communities over
the county the community clubs have

Lock Officers and Customers in Vault
at Superior Escape in

Superior, Neb., April 4. Two men
took control of the Farmers' State
bank of Superior during the lunch
hour today, and joked with the
president and 12 customers fully 45
minutes while waiting for the as
sistant cashier to return from lunch
and open the safe. When he appear
ed, they forced him to work the com
bination of the vault, and escaped
with approximately 2 5 thousand dol
lars in cash and bonds.
It was the most daring robbery
in Nebraska history, officers said.
It i3 believed to be the first bank
robbery ever to occur in Superior.
State Sheriff W. C. Condit of Lin
coln, directing the pursuit, stated to
night he believed one of the robbers
was Eddie Jenkins, who jumped bail
at Red Cloud, where he was held on;
a charge of burglary. Police in this
whole section have been furnished
with a description of th'e bandits.
One of the robbers was tall and
dark and the other short and light,
witnesses declared. Neither was
masked.

Made Careful Search..
The two men parked their large
sedan in front of the bank at 12:15
p. m., sauntered itno the bank, and
asked J. R. Parsons, the bank's presi
dent, to make out a draft for them.
As Tarsons got up from his desk,
the two men pulled out their re
volvers and ordered him to open the
safe, even though he protested that
he did not know the combination.
"Where are the other fellows
then?" one of the bandits asked.
"They are out to lunch," replied
Parsons.
Then for 43 minutes, the men chat
ted and joked with Parsons and the
customers.
Floyd Boersma, assistant cashier
then came in, and the men forced
him to open the same. Abandoning
their leisure, one s'-ooped up every
thing in the safe, looked around
carefully so as not to miss anything
and hopped into the waiting auto
mobile. The other forced the prison
ers into the vault and joined his
partner.
