Krom Saturday's Pall r

post's Rehabilitation committee, is

Plattsmouth. having consented to
come here on that date.
R. A. Kirkpatrick, radio historical
speaker of the Omaha post, who was
unable to come due to a prior agree
ment, writes the Legion committee
regarding Mr. Trustin as follows:
"Harry is one of the livest wires
we have in Omaha post No. 1. lie
ha3 charge of the post's rehabilita
tion work and the presentation of
claims before the Veteran's bureau.
He is a good speaker and a fine fel
low all around."
Mr. Kirkpatrick also enclosed a
clipping from the Omaha Legionnaire
containing an account of the praise
bestowed upon Mr. Trustin by Retir
ing Commander Clint Drome at a re
cent meeting of the Omaha post.
Drome said, "The committee uV:dcr
Trustin's leadership has done a won
derful work this year, aiding many
disabled veterans in properly present
ing their claims before the Veteran's
bureau."
Of the fifty cases handled by the
committee during October alone, 41
were out-of-town veterans and the re
maining 11 Omaha men.
Mr. Trustin is a member of the
firm of Kraus & Trustin. dealers in
steel sash and fireproof building ma
terial, his firm having the contract

Incidently, he was in the city Tues

installation of Lis "Fenestra" sash in
the new Legion community auditor
ium here.
Mr. Trustin is lead-off drummer

two years ago in the capacity of a
deputy state boxing commissioner, he
played with the I'lattsmouth post
drum corps, then newly organized.
He has 'promised to accompany the
local corps to Shubert convention the
latter part of May and bring along
several good Omaha drummers to fill
in the ranks of the local corps.
To those who plant by the dark
and light of the moon, we have jus
learned that the dark cm the moon
is just the period between the full
moon and the new moon; the ligh
of the moon is between the new and
the full moon. Scientists claim ah
solutely the moon has no relation
whatsoever to crops or weather, am
there is no such a thing as a "wet'
moon our resourceful boot-leggers
have been unable to desecrate that
orb.
Advertising is a great power try
it! We take from the Boston Trans
cript the following: (Originally
quoted in a Florida paper). "I lost
a gold watch which I valued very
highly. Immediately inserted an ad
in your lost-and-found column and
waited. Yesterday I went home and
found the watch in the pocket of an
other suit. God bless your paper.'
Nebraska originally inhibited by
Indians, buffaloes, coyotes, and w
up until titty years ago marked on
school maps as the "GREAT AMER
ICAN DESERT." It is now one of
the greatest commonwealths . in the
U. S.
ANDY STILL PITCHING
The Bellevue Indians camp was in
a blue haze early this spring when
Andy Graves, who piloted them to
the Sarpy-Cass championship last
year announced that he was going to
put away his bats and quit the game
for good. lie decided that with 51
years on his shoulders and 34 years
of baseball behind him that it was
high time to take a back seat.
That was Andy's idea. Fans and
players didn't agree with the "Grand
Old Man of the Sandlots" and after
a number of stormy sessions finally
prevailed upon him to get back into
the harness and they made it plain
too, that he is not to take a back
seat thi3 year, but scrap with the
youngsters for one of the hot spots.
Although Andy's old soup bone
isn't as "soupy" as it used to be.
there is nothing wrong with his bat
ting eye and hi legs are yet the
envy of many a jackrabbit.
Nebraska is not a one crop state
it produces in abundance, corn,
wheat, oats, rye. barley, potatoes
sugar, butter, eggs, cattle, hogs.
poultry, honey, this right here in
Plattsmouth. vegetables, fruits and
we might add the lustiest healthiest
boys and girls, and the prettiest flap
pers in America!
Nebraska has 5SC.00 milk cows,
with an income per year per farm
from them of $4 00. Creameries and
cheese factories within the state have
been increased twenty per cent last
year.
In 1SG0 negro slaves were sold at

And some day they can add to the
above that Nebraska invites its visi
tors to enter our state, over toll free
bridges! Boost for our bridge! If
you ever paid all the tolls in Okla
homa and forded her innumerable
creeks, you'd boost all the harder for
our good bridges:
Also we are confident the time is
getting ripe when Cass county es
pecially, will work out her "mud
dirt" road3 and show the entire state,
and her sister states, that Nebraska
and Cass county are leaders, not lag
gers, in economical roads. The toll
on business, and on the farmers of
this county today, in sticky, muddy
rutty, slick roads, mounts up into
hundreds of thousands of dollars. A
mud road is far more expensive, and
costly than the taxes ever are on
good graveled hi-ways. Why pay tax
es every year for maintenance of
mud-roads, when you are still left
with the same problem from year to
year, and nothing to show for it ex
cept cost, depreciation, excess gas,
and useless tax receipts?

astic meet held at Wesleyan college

age of correct answers to the con
test was again awarded to the 4th
grade room of Miss Jessie Whelan
the' Columbian building and which
building carried off the honors of
the first night's contest.
The schools are planning some
change in the rules for next year and
which would make previous prize
winner ineligible for the next year
prizes but would allow the parti
cipants in the contest to secure .rat
ings for their rooms.
It is also being taken up to fur
nish banners for the 4th and Sth
