LARGE CROWD AT DANCE
From Thiirrtn v fja"v
The largest crowd since the open
ing ball with Tracy-Brown's orches
tra, was in attendance at the dance
held last night in the Legion com
munity building and dancers and
spectators alike were pleased with
the peppy music furnished by Pat
Kroh and his Peony Fark orchestra.
This orchestra played here some six
weeks ago and has been re-booked for
January 25th.
One of the pleasing things in con
nection with the Legion dance pro
gram is the large number of outsiders
who are attracted to Plattsmouth to
dance, many of them getting their
first glimpse of the town. Last night
there were people here from as far
south as Tecumseh. west to Lincoln
and north almost to Blair, and all felt
well repaid for their journey.
The very best of order was main
tained in the dance hall throughout
the evening and the good time had by
all was reflected in their promise to
come again.
Plattsmouth Legion dances are be
ing advertised over a wide area, and
must of needs depend on outside pat
ronage, considering the small number
of regular dance attendants in this
immediate vicinity, if the Legion is
to continue to bring in high class or
chestras. SHOWS SOME IMPROVEMENT
From Thursday's rJ"v
Mrs. George W. Rhoden, . of this
city, who has for the past week been
confined to her home by a very severe
attack of the grippe and flu, is re
ported as being greatly Improved and
able to be up a part of the time now,
although she is far from well and
feels the effects of the malady that
she has been afflicted with. The ill
ness of the wife has kept Mr. Rhoden
at home for several days and from his
usual activities.
' CARD OF THANKS
I wish to take this method of
thanking the kind friends and neigh
bors for their many words of sym
pathy and kindly acts during my
illuess and assure them their acts
will always be- a very p7aeVnt "ratem

NEW RANGE BUILDINGS
From Thursday's Dally
The U. S. war department, which
has plans for a number of improve
ments at Port Crook, one of the
points for the Seventh Army corps
CMTC camps, has included the rifle
range just north of the pumping sta
tion of the Plattsmouth Water com
pany, in their plans for enlargement
and improvement.
The range is used by the students
at the training camps for their firing
both in rifle and machine gun work
and each summer from the 1st to the
31st of August there are from 700 to
1,000 of the youth at the range to
shoot the course in rifle, machine
gun and one pounders. The war de
partment will have erected at the
range camp a large mess hall and
kitchen that will care for the feeding
of the men when they are at the
range and which will fill a long felt
want in this line.
The range is one that is within
easy distance of Fort Crook, and has
been extensively used the past two
years by the soldiers from the fort
and the past summer by the students
from the C. M. T. C.

t
Too Many Laws K
Bring Much Crime
Over Country
Bar Association President Hits Press
Sensationalism, Reluctant
Jurors.
The present increase in crime is
due to the multiplicity of laws and
to the tendency "to lean on the gov
ernment for everything," Fred S.
Berry, of Wayne, president of the
Nebraska Bar association, told mem
bers at the opening of the annual
convention at the Fontenelle hotel
at Omaha.
Mr. Berry mentioned as defects in
criminal procedure:
1. The right of men charged
with the same offense to demand
separate trials. He cited an in
stance of six men holding up a
bank, but who must be tried
separately if they choose.
2. Sensational handling of
rime stories by newspapers, in
which the affair is heralded with
screaming headlines, sob stories.
pictures and interviews with
witnesses.
3. The reluctance of intelli
gent persons to sit on juries
hearing criminal cases because
of the morbidity of the cases.
4. The use of peremptory
challenges so that more and
more prospective jurors must be
called and the chance of getting
a fair jury lessened.
5. The rule denying a prose
cutor the right to comment on
the failure of a defendant to
take the stand in his own de
fense, though he may' present
many alibi witnesses.
6. The attitude of a large
part of the public, which con
siders the only crime that of
getting caught and which flods
public officers with maudlin
petitions for clemency.
Calls Law Maker "Menace."
Legislators, said Mr. Berry, have
largely abandoned the theory that
the people should not be dominated
with unwarranted control of their
private. sffr.Irs, th?.t there iz ?. '.imit
to what law can do for people's
morals. They seek to direct down
to the minutest detail, Mr. Berry
said, quoting the statement that the
greatest menace of today is not the
law-breaker but the law-maker.
"A comparatively few years ago
there were less than 10 thousand in
dictments pending in all of the fed
eral courts of the United States." he
declared . "Ten years later the num
ber has mounted to more than 7p
thousand. Last fiscal year there were
more than 50 thousand prosecutions
for violation of the liquor law rJone.
We have more than 3,500 annually
in the state courts of Nebraska for
violation of the liquor law. Other
Ftates are similarly burdened."
WINS CORN AWARD
In the past fall there was staged
under the supervision of County
Agent L. R. Snipes, a contest for the
best ten acres of corn in the county,
in wnicn tnere were some ntteen en
tered. ,
The result of the contest has just
been announced by the college of
agriculture at the state university
and Searl S. Davis of this city is the
first prize winner with Nelson Ber-
ger of Nehawka, a close second.
The corn which was entered by
Mr. Davis was that on his farm west
of Murray on the Red Ball highway
where the corn was produced on an
acreage that was cleared timber land
and sweet clover pasture that was
i put into cultivation and showed a
j yield of 87 bushels per acre.
I This farm of Mr. Davis has been
farmed by Homer C. Campbell and
the yield on all of the farm was
: heavy and particularly on the for
j mer timber land and the broken up
clover pasture and gave a wonderful
yield of the finest corn and which
the judges in the state contest have
decided was the best ten acre yield
in the county among the large list of
entries.
Searl sure knows his corn, when
it comes to raising the golden maize.

A New Year's
The Journal, with this issue of the paper, extends a
cordial and siiicere wish to the residents of Plattsmouth and
Cass county for a most Happy New Year; and hopes that
1928 will brig- success and pleasure to all those who dwell
in our community, and in whose homes the Journal makes
its visitation daily and weekly.
The past year has brought to us all some measure of
happiness and a dash of the sorrow to make the whole the
leaven of life. To many it has brought a great measure of
prosperity, while to others there has not been as large a
measure of the material gain as their efforts might deserve.
The past is now behind us and each face must look to
the dawning of the New Year, whose pages are yet unturn
ed, and it is with the brightest of hopes that we gaze into the
future and see the vision of a year filled with advancing'
prosperity for the great west and a greater and better Platts
mouth and Cass county. 1

SILVERWARE ARRIVES
From Friday's Ilat'v I
The silverware for use in the new
community building, ordered several
weeks ago by the American Legion
Auxiliary, arrived yesterday in time
to allay the fears of the ladies, who
had met to arrange their menu, etc., j
and they were well pleased to receive
word of its arrival.
As with the chinaware and glass-j
ware, complete service for 200 is pro-j
vided. The silverware is of a plain I
design, being the new solid nickle-

old plated ware. It was purchased

Legion member.
The arrival of the silver leaves the
ladies only short their table linen,
funds for this being available as soon
as the size and type of tables is de

Happy Hundred, borrowed tables will
be used, but the organization will ac-
quire tables of its own in the near
future, as well as linen therefor.
