Practical Dem
onstration Made
of Appliances
Miss Buth Menoher of the Iowa-2Te-fcraska
Gas & Electric Company,
Shows Many Uses.
From Thursdays Dally
The residents of this city have
been very fortunate in' the last year
in having with them at frequent in
tervals. Miss Ruth Menoher, the head
of the instructive demonstration de
partment of the company in this sec
tion of the Iowa-Nebraska Light and
Power company territory.
This talented lady was here last
season with practical demonstrations
of the various electrical appliances
that have come into general use and
which have lessened in a thousand
ways the old grinding housework, and
her advice and experience aided the
Plattsmouth ladies in the use of these
appliances and the cheapest and most
effective manner of handling them.
This year Miss Menoher has been
giving practical showing of the oper
ation of many of the latest and most
up to date of the electrical appliances
and especially in the waffle iron
showings. Miss Menoher has given
the ladies the benefits of the demon
stration of the iron at a very large
number of gatherings over the city
and practically every church society
of the city has had the pleasure of
witnessing the demonstrations and
partaking of the very delicious waf
fles that this talented lady is such an
artist in preparing, and which cook
ed electrically make a very swift and
pleasant method of preparing one of
the daintiest articles of food without
the attendant smoke that comes from
cooking them otherwise.
All lines of the electrical and gas
appliances including the time and
labor saving gas ranges and stoves
have been placed before the ladies
of this city by Miss Menoher and ad
ded very much to the knowledge that
the public has had of the appliances
that go to make the modern home
more comfortable and lessen the la
bor that was formerly demanded of
the housewife.
Not alone in her ability as a dem
onstrator has Miss Menoher given a
great service to the ladies of the
community, but her pleasant perso
nality has also won her a great many
friends among the residents of the
city and we trust that they may have
the pleasure of her presence here on
many occasions in the future. -

State to Repaint
Signs Used on the
Nebr. Highways
Cheaper to Repair Than to Buy New
Ones, State Engineer Coch
ran Believes.
Instead of buying new markers
for state and federal highways when
those in use become discdored or
rusted from exposure to the weather, 1
State Engineer Cochran will have
the old ones taken off their sup
porting posts and sent in to be re
pained by the spraying process, which
in most cases will make them as good
as new, at about one-third of what
it would cost to replace them.
Two Lincoln firms have furnished
samples of what they can do in the
regard on a pair of number signs
which have been doing duty on the
Coinhusker highway. The contract
will soon be awarded by the public
works department for treating a
large number of road markers In
the same way.
The expense is estimated at from
20 to 25 cents each, which includes
not only the repainting, but also the
labor of taking down the signs and
putting them up again, as well as
transportation both ways. If new
ones were bought it would require
an outlay of about 70 cent3 each.
Quantity production methods are
employed in the repainting process
so that about 50 signs can be treat
ed in one minute's time. They are
placed in racks and the paint is
sprayed over that number all at once.
When they have dried on one side,
they are turned over and the pro
cess repeated on the other. Finally,
a roller is run over the raised figures,
letters and lines which paints them
black, leaving an enamel finish.
There are over 15,000 markers
now in place designating highway
numbers. Warning signs and direc
tion pointers are still more numer
ous. Some of the latter are pained
with a yellow background. This can
be done just as well as white with
the spraying machine.
Markers nearest the cities are the
ones which will have to be renewed
oftenest. State Engineer Rochran and
his assistants have found. This is
due to the smoke in the city which
settles down on them, and possibly
in part to the effect of exhaust gas
from so many passing cars. Rain,
snow and variation of temperatures
does not get away with the painted
inscriptions and spot the surface as
fast as smoke and soot.
Congressman teorelieud has intro
duced a bill for a bridge over the
Missouri River at Nebarska City.
Plattsmouth should get a move on
herself, or they may lose out. For
dormacy never gets a show at anything.
