11, sweeping every ward of the
city by good majorities. The largest
majority of Mayor Sattler was in the
first ward where he received 125
majority.
City Treasurer John E. Kirkham,

engulfed in the heavy democratic
vote cast in the outlying wards of
the city and where the bulk of the
democratic majority was secured.
The election of Dr. Frank L. Cum

was the election of three democrats
and two repnublicans for these of
fices. Carl Kunsmann. Warren Tulene

From Wednesday's Dallv
The Plattsmouth Rotary club yes
terday at the weekly luncheon had
as their guests the eight members of
the basketball squad of the Platts
mouth high school, who have made
such a fine record during the season
just closed.
The members of the team, Edgar
Wescott. George Perry, Bernard Gal
loway, Robert Fitch, Robert Hadraba,
Ralph Mason, Joe Hartford. Jack
Hatt, and Coach Fred A. Rothert.
were given an ovation by the mem
bers of the Rotary as they were seat
ed at the luncheon table and the
members of the club gave warm
words of appreciation of the splendid
work that the team had rendered
on the playing court and for their
excellent conduct as gentlemen in
the game and in their daly life.
Short remarks were made by Coach
Rothert, Captain Ed Wescott of the
1928 team and Captain-elect Joe
Hartford of the 1929 team.
The members of the Rotary ex
pressed their appreciation of the
high standard of sportsmanship that
the blue and white quintet bad set in
the seasons that they have played
and which many remarked was far
greater as an asset to the boys and
the school than championships as it
gave the inspiration to others for
clean living and thinking.

of the all state high school team by
the sport writers, were called upon to
stand were given a fine reception by
the Rotarians.
FARE DEPARTMENT FEASTED
From Wednesaay s Daily
Last night after the meeting of
the Plattsmouth fire department
which was held at the city hall, the
members of the department were in
vited by F. I. Rea. district manager
of the Iowa-Nebraska Light and
Power company, to visit the Royal
cafe, where a treat in the form of
delicious oyster stews was prepared
and awiting the coming of the fire
fighters. The light and power com
pany gave the treat in acknowledge
ment for the splendid work that the
members of the fire department had
given in the saving of the warehouse
of the company from destruction by
fire last winter and which was very
much appreciated by the company.
The firemen, who serve without
pay and respond in a fine manner to
the call to duty in protecting the
lives and property of the Plattsmouth
residents, are deserving of the high
est praise for their work and give
the very best of service and these
treats that they receive from the
residents of the city from time to
time, are certainly appreciated by
the boys, who serve so faithfully and
well, as fire fighters.

Elks Carrying
on the Country
Club Campaign
on the Work of Creating
the New Club.
From Wednesdays Dally
Last evening the Plattsmouth lodge
of the Elks at their session took up
the matter of the Dlans for the pro-
, posed country club and golf course
at the Wiles farm near this city and
in which movement the Elks are the
leaders in securing pledges for the
carrying out of the work.
The lodge voted to create a board
of governors who will have charge of
the care and upkeep of the grounds
as well as tne remodeling oi uie
Wiles home for the use as a club
house, the exalted ruler, B. A. Rosen
crans naming as the members of this
board the present committee. H. A.
i Schneider, E. A. Fricke, L. L. Tur-
pin, George K. Petring and to which
the name of James W. Holmes, the
president of the golf club was added.
The committee that is in charge of
the campaign for pledges for the
amount needed to successfully carry
out the work, $11,000. is busy in
getting in touch with the people of
the community and have received a
number of very fine responses to the
very worthy community enterprise.
The Elks feel that in this propos
ition wnich is strictly a community
affair, that the general interest and
support of the public should be se
cured for the country club. Under
the plans that permit the participa
tion in the country club and golf
course by the Elks, golf club mem
bers as well as the public that are
not members of either organization,
the committee feels that everyone
should do their best to see that the
plan is put over and which will re
quire the financial support of the
general public.
The security of the country club
proposition is ample as the land
which is represented as the location
of the club is choicely located and
well worth the amount that will
be devoted to the country club and
in addition f.o this land security the
Elks have their club house and prop
erty also as security and which
makes ample protection of those who
are stockholders in the new country
club.
" THE PRICE OF SALVATION"
The Tuesday evening sermon in the
series of special services being held
in the Methodist church was on the
Price of Salvation." Rev. Sortor
used as his text the twenty-second
verse of the eighth chapter of the
Acts of the Apostles, "Repent, there
fore of this thy wickedness, and pray
the Lord, if perhaps the thought of
thy heart shall be forgiven thee."
He stated that few people realized
the fundamental difference in the
outlook of the world today toward
the gospel and the outlook of the
world of the time of the Apostles to
ward it's message. Little effort was
given in the early church toward
making this earth a heaven to live in.
It was thought to be an impossibil
ity. Today the organized forces of
Christianity are fast placing the
greatest emphasis upon making
heaven a reality here and now with
a rather pronounced skepticism as
to the reality of the former teachings
in regard to the hereafter. The re
sult is a practical morality which
does not demand a high type of pur
ity and winks at a certain degree of
laxity as long as it maintains a de
gree of respectability and as long as
it does not interfere with business.
We are willing to spend al we have
to have physicial health. . When our
physicians tell us we have cancer
we will go to any specialist we are
sent to in the hope of salvation from
disease of the body. Expense is not
the first consideration, we grasp at
Khe least straw of hope for prolong
ing our life. It is our contention
that the reason why the world does
not listen to the message of the
church as formerly is because we
have ceased to proclaim a salvation
adequate for the sin sick of the
world. It is even more essential to
right living that a man be well spirit
ually than physically. The message
of God to the world today is still,
repent ye and be healed of your sins,
if .you would ral,ly live' There is no
price we can bring of, birth, social
position, or wealth for this healing.
It is the free gift of God and be
cause it is so freely given we often
value it lightly. Lack of physical
health is at worst but for a few short
years, but a lack of spiritual health
is of far more serious consequences
and therefore far more important to
each of us. s The services will be held
again tonight at eight o'clock and
the public is urged to attened.

Nichols Store
at Louisville is
Burglarized
Thieves Mske Way in Store by Pry
ing Up Window Secure Goods
Valued at $500.
The town cf Louisville which has
in recent years been free from the
visitation of burglars was made the
scene of the operation of thieves
sometime Monday night or early on
Tuesday morning, when the general
store of F. H. Nichols was entered
and merchandise valued at between
$300 and $.'00 taken.
The robbers made their entrance
to the store by pryiig open a window
in the rear of the store and which
permitted them to get into the main
store room, where they loaded up a
large emount of goods and made
away with them.
The goods taken consisted of dress
shirts, ties, overcoJts. hosiery, suit
cases, sweaters. traveling bags,
blankets and other articles.
Deputy Sheriff Young was at
Louisville yeFterday to look over the
scene of the burglary and was joined
there by State Shiff W. C. Condit
and Deputy State Tctvlff' L.-C. Hrss
sen. who had finder prints photo
graphed that had been found on the
shelves of the ptores, where the rob
bers had removed the goods.
This robbery is the first that has
occurred in Louisville since Fred H.
Ossenkop routed a gang of the rob
bers nine years ago while they were
engaged in sacking one of the stores.
Mr. Ossenkop with his trusty shot
gun routing the robbers and several
were badly wounded in the attempt
to make a getawa3'. This robbery
was also at the Nichols store and the
robbers were discovered by William
Stohlman who raised the alarm and
brought Mr. Ossenkop and other arm
ed citizens to the scene of action and
where a battle was staged with the
robbers.
PARMELE TO HAVE VAUDEVILLE
The management of the Parmele
theatre feel that the good people of
Plattsmouth and vicinity really do
want to see some clever vaudeville
acts now and then.
With this view in -mind, definite
and final arrangements have been
completed ..whereby the Sayvillia
Brothers,- consisting of clowns, acro
bats, wire walkers and hand bal
ancers, will endeavor to delight the
audiences at the Parmele theatre on
Monday and Tuesday, April 9th and
10th.
Owing to the fact that all indi
cations point toward crowded houses,
it has been arranged that the Say
villia Brothers give two perform
ances each night; one for the early
birds and one for the late-comers.
The Plattsmouth movies compare
favorably with those of Omaha and
have you ever stopped to think that
by patronizing Plattsmouth's perfect
ly modern theatre, you 6pend less
money, get more sleep and greater
satisfaction in every way.

Farm Relief Bill
as Great Farce
Iowa Senator Substitutes Government
Subsidy Eill of His Own; De
cries Fee Proposal.
Washington, April 4. The rift in
the ranks of western senators over
farm relief stood out in bolder relief
Tuesday when Senator Brookhart of
Iowa, one of the independent republi
cans, launched his expected offensive
against the McNary-Haugen bill and
put forward as a substitute a govern
ment subsidy bill of his own.
Senator Brookhart and Senator
Mayfield D Texas, a proponent of
ihe McNary-Haugen measure, were
the only speakers of the day, the
agriculture measure giving way dur
ing the afternoon to the pending Dis
trict of Columbia appropriation hill.
Mayfield declared the proposal
would go a long way toward putting
the farmer on a permanent stable
biisis, Brookhart contended it was in
adequate and would fail in its pur
pose. Have Farm Board.
The Iowan advocated his measure
which would have the treasury bear
the cost of marketing surplus crops
up to a limit of $600.000,000l This
limit, he said, equaled the subsidy
given by the government to rail
roads after they were returned to
private ownership. In fact, he declar
ed that if the government went as
far for the farmer as it had for the
railroads since 1920, it would pay
out $3,000,000,000.
Brookhart would establish a farm
board, nominated by farm organiza
tions, with power to fix a price for
products when surpluses arose. He
would have this price based on cost
of production plus a return of 5 per
cent to the farmers on capital invest
ed. Hi-3 bill does not include the con
troversial equalization fee provision,
and Senator Brookhart made it clear
that he had no sympathy toward this
feature of the McNary-Haugen bill,
which also is opposed by President
Coolidge. He branded the fee as "un
safe and unsound."
Fee Is Defended.
Mayfield, on the other hand, de
fended it, declaring It had been
grossly misrepresented and differing
with the Iowan in his contention
that it would prove unpopular among
cotton producers. The Texas senator
declared the bill afforded adequate
machinery for stabilization of cotton
prices.
Brookhart called attention that
the proposal of the McNary-Haugen
bill to give farmers and far morgan
izations loans from a government
fund of $20,000,000 had proven un
satisfactory in principle through the
operation of the war finance corpor
ation and government land banks.
Explaining his change of attitude
on the McNary-Haugen measre, the
Iowan declared that the pending bill
differed radically from its predeces
sors and that he had "learned to
like" the original one. Omaha Bee
News. REED REPS REPUBLICANS
Des Moines, la., April 3. Senator
James A. Reed. Missouri, carrying
his presidential campaign into agri
cultural Iowa, tonight varied his
verbal barrage against republican
corruption with a few pot shots at
the presidential candidacy of Her
bert Hoover.
Renewing charges that the secre
tary of commerce fixed wheat prices
during the World war, Senator Reed
denied that the Wilson administra
tion was in any way responsible for
the establishment of $2.20 a bushel
as the minimum price for wheat.
The "Hoover level" he asserted, was
below the "war level" of prices, and
consequently was unjust to agricul
ture. Most of his speech was an attack
on the Harding and Coolidge admin
istrations, and in detail Mr. Reed
went into the "chain of circumstan
tial evidence" by which he traced
activities of the "interests" in oil
scandals.

Alteration Sale
to be Big Event:
H. M. Soennichsen Clearing Shelves
and Counters to Make Room
for the Workmen.
One of the largest price smashing
offerings of canned goods, staple and
fancy groceries and house furnishings
that has been made to the residents
of Cass county, is the gigantic altera
tion sale that will open Saturday at
the big grocery and housefurnishings
store of H. M. Soennichsen on Main
street between Fourth and Fifth
streets, and where a real buying op
portunity is apparent to all who read
the advertising matter.
The shelves and counters are load
ed with a vast stock of the best lines
of canned goods, kitchen ware, etc.,
all marked at prices that will give
the frugal buyer the greatest oppor
tunity to save money on their every
day supplies. Work of remodeling
will begin Monday morning, April
23rd. and by that time it is expected
to greatly reduce the stock, making
room for the workmen.
A large two page ad of this firm
appears elsewhere in the Journal and
from it the public can gather some
conception of the great size of the
stock that is being offered and the
price slashes that are being made,
but to realize the splendid quality of
the goods offered one must visit the
store and see the great piles of can
ned goods, tables loaded with house
furnishings and shelves stocked with
all kinds of staple and fancy gro
ceries, awaiting the call of the shop
per for bargains.
The H. M. Soennichsen store is one
of the best in the west and their
reputation of many years of careful
and honest merchandising is behind
their offers.

promise the people the same faithful,
conscientious service I have given
them in the past, preferring to do
nothing in public life, regardless of
the financial rewards, that would
make me hesitate to meet those who
have been my neighbors, friends and
supporters.
"If nominated. I will, as in the
past, visit different parts of the Dis
