Frost Damage Not Serious
Damage to the corn crop from frost
is no longer a serious factor except
to tbe very late planted corn, the
department stated. Warm weather
during September hastened maturity
thereby removing the crop from frost
danger which wasgreatly feared a
month ago.
Nebraska's prospects are for a
crop nearly twice the size of last
year's, but Iowa's will be under last
year's but distinctly better than in
dicated a month ago. Illinois and In
diana indications are for a crop about
one-third less than a year ago.

From Tuesday's Dail?
Order has been placed for another
fifteen dozen folding chairs for use in
the new Community building and as
soon as they arrive the names of con
tributors to the chair fund not al
ready painted will be lettered on the
backs of the new chairs. This will
bring the total number of chairs up
to 360. while the list of contributors
reached the 330 mark at noon today
and is still going strong, with pay
day additions to be reported in to- j
night. It now seems quite probable i
the list will exceed 400, and as many
additional chairs as are necessary to i
cover the increased number will be l
ordered and lettered. !
The Legion is very grateful to the
public for its generous support in
solving the seating problem so satis- ,
factorily and feels that the chairs,;
with their nicely lettered names on ;
the backs, in plain sight of all who :
enter the hall, will long tell the story !
of Plattsmouth generosity. I
It is not intended that contributors
shall hunt out their own particular'
chair to sit in every time they enter
the building, but the names will
serve to identify the givers as persons
of more than passing interest in the
worthy project. With the increased
number being ordered, it is certain
no one will ever have to go without
a chair and that is the prime mo
tive back of this "Buy-a-Chair" move
ment that has grown in popularity
until everyone wants to be "counted,
in" on the list.
Scatter Tacks on Highway to Block
Pursuit by Automobiles One
Official is Slugged
Aurora, Neb., Oct. 10. Four un
masked bandits entered the new First
National bank building at 2:45 p. m.
today, forced officers of the bank to
give them 10 thousand dollars in cash
and a quantity of liberty bonds, and
escaped in a high powered car, scat
tering tacks on the road to prevent
pursuit.
A fifth bandit wa3 left at the wheel
of the automobile outside the bank.
The four who entered the bank
were dressed and looked like business
men, their victims paid after the rob
bery. None made any attempt to dis
guse himself.
Struck Customer With Gun
L. C. Opper, cashier, was talking
to Frank Lysinger, a customer in his
private office when the bandits en
tered. Arnold Isaacson, assistant cash
ier, and Mamie Burke, clerk, were
behind the cage. One of the quartet
approached Opper and Lysinger and
ordered them to put up their hands.
Lysinger was slow to obey and receiv
ed a blow over the head from the ban
dit's gun. Another bandit then went
behind the cage, unfolded a sack and
ordered Isaacson to scoop up what
currency was on the counter and
place it in the sack. The other threo
persons in the bank were made to
lie on the floor. Isaacson was next
ordered to open the inner vault and
get the currency and bonds located
there and put them in the sack. The
bandit refused to touch anything
himself and none of the bandits left
any finger prints.
Woman Jokes With Bandits
When the robbery was about com
pleted Mrs. Trank Rundle and Frank
Hogg, came into the bank. One rob
ber placed a gun against Hogg's side
?nd ordered him and Mrs. Rundle to
join the others. Mrs. Rundle laugh
ingly remarked she could not sit
down as there was no chair, so the
bandits chivariously. permitted her to
si and and watch the proceedings.
After they had obtained the money
the six persons' were marched into
the vault and the door closed.
Isaacson seized a revolver hidden
in the vault and reopened the door
immediately. He fired over the tran
som of the door as the bandits were
getting in their car. to give the
Llnrm, but they' tred away before
anyone could interfere.
The bank occupies a new building
recently completed fronting on the
town square. When the bandits drove
away they circled the block back of
th? bank and headed eastward over
the SYA highway, scattering a large

If all cigarettes were as good

Gpper declared the loss was cov
ered by insurance.
An excellent description was ob
tained of all the bandits. The leader
was described as 5 feet 11 inches tall,
about 36 yearn old, of heavy figure
and with a round, jolly face. He !
wore a greyish-tan suit and brown
hat. Another, who appeared second
in command, was said to be over 6
feet tall and heavy, with huge should
ers and chest. He wore a dark suit
and hat.

r?;
515 cars were advertised and listed separately.
Over 200, or better than 40 were last year's or
this year's model and should be at their very best
right now. No one takes the tremendous loss in
volved each time they trade if they are satisfied.
Eleven largest makes accounted for 184 of the
above. In order to find out whether they were
divided equally, according to production, we
classified them and found as follows:
1926-1927 MODELS
Buick 20
Chevrolet 33
Chrysler 27
Dodge 15
Ford 39
Hudson-Els sex ... .15
Nash 13
Oakland 4
Pontiac 5
Star 7
Studebaker 8
Whippets 2
Overlands 3
Willys-Knights . . None
In the first six months of this year there were five
manufacturers that produced over 1,000 cars per
day. Willys-Overland was one of these and rank
ed fourth. Had their cars gone back in the same
proportion you would have found between 20 and
30 in place of five. (Check this up and you will
find this is not exceptional and averages prac
tically the same every week). This certainly
proves that the average Overland owner is bet
ter satisfied with his car than all others. The fact
that not a single '26 or. '27 model Willys-Knight
was offered for sale is evidence enough how the
owners of these cars feel.
A Year Ahead in Light Wt. Class
The WHIPPET, which is now a year and a half
old, is still a year ahead of anything in the light
weight car class. This fact was demonstrated
last week right here when Speed Bradford drove
a stock car 3,924 miles in 88 hours and 23 min
utes running time over the roads that you drive
and not a race track, and averaged 44.4 miles
per hour. This was the greatest mileage ever
driven by one man without rest.

If you are going to get a new car, you owe it to
yourself to at least find out why this is possible
and you cannot help but realize the tremendous
difference in cars. You will find other manufac
turers coming out with cars patterned after the
Whippet because the public is realizing more and
more every day the advantages it has over all
competitors in the light weight car class and that
it is the only light weight up-to-the-minute 1927
car. Why buy some obsolete model that will be
out of the market within the next year or wait for
something that may come out within the next few
months, when you can buy a proven automobile
right now that has every important improvement
any high priced car has?
Let us explain and demonstrate this car to
you. We'll gladly do it. Just call us.
