Commercial Club Getting Active
The Commercial club of Green
wood, have been getting active in
the best interests of the city in all
its avenues. They are looking to
the best interests of every Individual.
They have found by past experience
that too much credit has not been
the best thing which could occur.
Merchants are just like other peo
ple, and they have entered into busi
ness with a limited amount of cap
ital, which they must make care for
their business. They are willing to
extend credit, but must have pay
ment in a reasonable time for they
have to meet their overhead, pay
taxes, and sometimes interest, and
replenish their stock of goods and
when all the bills are to be met they
must have payments of the outstand
ing bills. At the meeting of the

OPENS ROOFING PLANT
Lester L. Vroman, who has been
engaged for several years with one
of the largest roofing companies in
the United States, located at Roches
ter. New York, is opening an estab
lishment in this city in which he
will specialize in roofing.
Mr. Vroman is preparing to offer
the residents of this city and vicin
who was assisting in her care. Op
Wednesday Mr. Coleman was called
to the bedside of the daughter on
account of her poor condition.

bank will it is thought, care for most j
of the liabilities, and the Guarantee
Fund Commission will look after the
remainder. The inability to realize
on the paper they have out was the
cause cf the suspension at this time.
Messrs. M. R. Hanna of Blair, and
A. K. Howard of South Omaha were
in Greenwood this week and were
meeting with the I. O. O. F. lodge j
of this place, in the interest of the
Samaritan order, which is a higher

Watson Howard was a visitor in
Lincoln on last Wednesday, looking
ing the sale of his eggs, which he is
receiving from hi3 flock of White
Leghorns. Watson has some five hun
dred and laying hens and is at this
time receiving on an average of
about two hundred and fifty eggs per
day. It pays to get the hens to do
business at the time when the eggs
are worthwhile. Mr. Howard .has
given the poultry for profit question
a good consideration and knows Just
;about how to handle the birds to get
the best results.
From Friday's Daily
Central Parent-Teachers associa
tion held the regular January meet
ing last evening at the high scnool
auditorium. There were some fifty
parents in attendance despite the
rather unpleasant weather and sev
eral other meetings and events that
took patrons elsewhere. May we Just
remind ourselves in this way that the
third Thursday evening of each
month is the regular meeting time
for Central P. T. A.
Owing to the absence of the pres
ident, and not knowing his plan, the
program was partly iraprompto, but
one that would interest all as par
ents. One never tires of singing the
praise and prayer for our country
found in "America, the Beautiful"
of which we should often remind
ourselves. In absence of the presi
dent, the vice president. Miss Marten
conducted the business, at which time
the complete list of committees were
read. If each member does his small
part, the task will not be hard for
any one. The membership chairman
reported number of members by
rooms and also number of parents
having visited school this year.
Every child needs the parents in
terest in the school room, his place
of business during most of the day,
preparing for citizenship.
The program was mostly in charge
of Mr. Woodward, the director of;
physical education for the schools. '
He used some of the pupils of the !
first grade to demonstrate how thru j
games tne principles or complete
bodily exercise could be carried out,
and ease and grace in bodily car
riage developed. It is hardly de
sirably in a bunch of romping rac
ing youngsters but time tells the
complete story.
James and Cecil Comstock favor
ed the gathering with a piano duet
and were called back for another.
The school nurse. Miss Farley now
on duty in our schools gave a short
talk on health. We have come to
learn that the visits of these school
nurses do not mean only the curing
of the defection but the keeping of
the well In best condition, so we al
ways welcome her ieport and try to
profit thereby, for the present par
ents seem to be the generation on
which much responsibility along this
line has been placed.
The program closed with two num
bers by the Junior orchestra under
direction of Mr. Woodward, and
which contained several boys of our
Central school. This was our first
opportunity to hear the boys, and al
tho we as a family do not look for
ity a line of fire and weather proof perfection, we were well pleased
Trains Delayed Some.
A double header of the Burling-
roofing that will be a saving to the
owner of the property and a matter
of safety from fire and the elements
of the weather.
With his long experience in this
line of work he comes with the high
est recommendations from the com
pany at Rochester by when he was
employed and will be able to give the
residents here the very be3t in his
line of specialized roofing.
While not being located definate
ly as yet Mr. Vroman is prepared to
fill any orders that may come to
with the progress the children are
making in this line.
The evening closed with a short
social time when a committee from
Miss Deihn room, the third grade,
served refreshments. Much thanks is
due the committee who were only
called in the afternoon but so will
ingly consented to do their part and
thus completed the evening.
The following committees were
named:
Membership Mrs. Hayes Chair
man; First Ward, Mrs. Shellenberg-

nal for the present.
And if It Is not war in Nicaragua,
the long-awaited substitute for arm

seems as bad as the real article.
Notice To Public
Greenwood Business Ken are confronted with the same things
that business men cf other towns are. The wholesalers whom
we buy from have discontinued long time credits.
Therefore, we are asking of our customers the same as
we are asked to do, namely
That no account be allowed to run
to exceed thirty days; at the end of
this period we will expect a settlement.

BIG COAL MERGER IS PLAN
New York, Jan. 20. Isaac T.
Mann, president of the Pocahontas
Fuel company today confirmed Cin
cinnati reports of negotiations for a
merger of about twenty-five large
coal producing companies operating
in Virginia.
The proposed consolidation would
result In one of the largest coal com
panies in the United States, operat
ing in a territory where numerous
producing concerns now exist, Mr.
Mann said.. He added that the in
dustry can be saved from demoral
ization only by mergers such as that
proposed, with the aim of safeguard
ing the interests of the owners, labor
and the public.
It is not expected that any new
finance will be required in the for
mation of the new company, since
only the transfer of physical prop
erties to a centralized control is con
templated. It Is estimated that the

is much larger than the average per
son really appreciates, the import
ance of the railroads In helping main
tain the functions of government
should not be overlooked when the
residents of the county have theirj
business in the transportation line
to be handled, as the volume of busi
ness that the railroads do, sets, the
amount of improvements, the number
of men that they can employ and
the general expansion of their busi
ness activities.
The amount of money that the
railroads pay out each year in this
item of taxes is very Important to
the. residents of the county through
which the railroads pass and where
they have shops or terminals as in
Cass and Lancaster counties, and re
lieves the individual taxpayer of a

they may increase their volume of
business and make improvements
that will require more workmen,
more and larger plants and terminals
and increasing the amount that the
railroads pay to the counties and the
state in taxes.
The school districts through which
the Burlington line or other rail
roads pass make a generous part of
the tax money that maintains the
schools in these districts and aid in
