WANTS LOCAL PROPERTY
Prom Monday's Daily
The fame of Plattsmouth as a city
of homes and the ideal place for a
. residence is causing a number of Om
aha parties to become interested in
the proposition of "working in the
icitv and liviner in the suburbs." as
'the Omaha World-Herald carried an
ad on Saturday in which Omaha par-
ties desired to exchange property in
that city for ' Plattsmouth property.
There have been a number making
inauirv here as to the possibilities of
I resiliences in this citv and with the
bridge over the Platte being free now-
jn tne course of a few weeks, there
should be an increasing number make
their home here as the drive to Om-
aha is but a matter of a half hour
and not farther from the main part
of Omaha than are many of the out
lying sections in north Omaha.

New Sand Pit
Opened by Lyman
Richey Company
Second Pit Opened and the Output
Will Be Increased at Once to
100 Cars a Day.
From Monday's Dally
Strenuous business conditions dur
ing the past rew years may nave
caused some of our people to lose
, some of their nerve, but we are
J thankful of the fact that we still
J have plenty of sand, a mighty good
product to gain our footing and re
gain a portion of our business nerve.
The new Lyman Richey Sand pits,
just north of this city have been
running at high capacity during the
past few weeks, and from their pres
ent output, one might think they
were about up to their limit, but
tfiis is not true. Double shifts are
now running, twelve hours each, at
the one pit, and they are shipping
out from 40 to 50 every twenty-four
hours, and Mr. Taylor, superintend
ent of the pits, says that the quality
of this sand is the very best he has
ever loaded. Most all of the entire
output is now being shipped into the
state of Iowa for their new paved
highways.
The second plant is now being in
stalled, and within a few days will
be running, when if the same num
ber of hours are worked almost dou
ble the amount of sand will be ship
ped out daily, 100 cars a day is a
lot of sand, but Iowa is doing a lot
of paving, and when they get euough
over the river perhaps our turn will
come. When we once wake up to
this paving situation there will
no sand left in Nebraska when
get through.
Two more men are moving
be
we
to
Plattsmouth this week from I-ouis-ville.
Mr. Stratton and Mr. Spangler
and family, and several more who
are traveling back and forth daily,
will come down as soon as proper
arrangements can be made. Come on
boys we will be glad to see you.
DISGUSTED WITH CHICKENS
From Monday's Dall
Searl S. Davis. locaT real estate
man. has in the past been dabbling
to some extent in chickens, hoping
from the array of large and hand
some Huff Orpington hens to de
rive eggs sufficient to assist in giv
ing the family a supply of fresh eggs
for their household needs.
The first disaster that shook the
faith of Mr. Davis and his family in
the chicken business was when the
horde of half tamed dogs that rove
over the city, visited the Davis hen
nery and killed three of the hens am!
made their escape.
The second and, we hope, the last
chapter of the story, occurred some
time Sunday while the Davis family
was at Lincoln, as they discovered
this morning on visiting the hen
house that some chicken thief had
completed the destruction that
dogs had started and that the
the
Ruff
tak-
Orpingtons were no more, being
en away by the hen roost raiders.
The full extent of the Davis hen
nery is now the Bantam chicken, the
property of the two small boys of the
family, and who are on the watch to
protect their property.
AUTO OVERTURNS
From Monday's Daily
Early Sunday morning the pleas
ure trip of a party of some five deaf
mutes from Omaha, had an unfor
tunate termination at the turn in the
K. of T. highway, just north of the
farm of E. H. Spangler. The party
was riding in a large Dodge touring
car and as they came along the high
way to make the turn they ran into
the ditch along the roadway, the car
being overturned and the top torn off
the car as well as the left front
door of the car being torn off. The
party were in a very serious condi
tion for a time, but were able to
extricate themselves from the wreck
and securing assistance were brought
on into this city where their car was
repaired at the Fradv earaee and
after a few hours they were able to
resume their journey back home and
the days outing was called off. All
of the occupants of the car were
very badly shaken up but none were
seriously injured as far as could be
ascertained, but they will be stiff and
sore for the next few days as the re
sult of the experience in the over
turning car.
SHOWING IMPROVEMENT
William Stohlman, Sr.. long time
resident of Louisville and one of the
dyed in the wool democratic war
horses of the state, came down Sat
urday from his home at Omaha to
visit with friends. Mr. Stohlman has
suffered from a very serious affliction
as the result of a gathering in the
head that gave him a great deal of
worry for some time, but is now im
proving and it is thought will soon
pass away and leave the old time
, resident of this county in his old time
vigor.
Mr. Stohlman says the democrats
are going to win the presidency this
year as their opportunity was never
better and they have the men this
year that can win.

bers of friends to join in the wonder

in the community welfare in which'
they have a real interest.
The members of the supper party
:rath"!ed at the church auditorium
and entered the banquet hail as the.

Tlo
retiiing officers were also
greeted by a song especially an tinged
for the occasion and which was most
pleasing anl a worthy tribute to the
ladies who have so efficiently guided
the affairs of the club for the past
vear.
Mrs. J. F-. Wiles, of the curtesy
committee of the club presented Mrs.
L. L. Turpin. retiring president and
toastmistres- as well as Mrs. W. W".
Whitfield, president of th" district
organization, with beautiful corsages
that bore the expression of apprecia
tion of the entire club.
Th'' ladies then opened their for
mal business session and the var
ious reports of the department and
committee heads were given. What
the ladies have done in the way of
community and civic activities have
passed with but little comment but
in hearing the various reports of the
activity of the club one was impress
ed with the fact what a really valu
able asset the Womans club is to
the community and what they are
doing for a bigger and a far bet
ter Plattsmouth.
The report of the treasurer, Mrs.
W. L. Heinrich. disclosed the ' fact
that the club has in the past year re
ceived from various activities,
$563. SI and have expended some
$497.12. a great deal of this being
in permanent advantage to the com
munity at large.
The ladies have arranged and giv
en a large number of music and edu
cational programs in the city, they
have presented the city high school
n fine series of slides and lantern to
be used in the chemistry department
of the school, they have arranged for
tables and other equipment for the
Garfield park, they entertained the
county convention of the Women's
clubs, gave toys for the needy chil
iln.n at ( h ri t runs time, as well as
contributions to a
worthv enterprises
large number of
that have arisen
in the community.
The club has in their departmen
tal program work, the American
Hontf, the Music. Dramatic, the gen
eral club functions ana me pain-;
.i i- cliutv certioti-5 :is well !1S the'
civics committee work.
! In the reports the civics commit
tee sounded a strong note of civic
improvement in urging that the un
slightly auto graveyards, of dumping
grounds, weed patches and old sign-,
hoards be eliminated along the main
thoroughfares of the city.
Mrs. A. D. Caldwell, one of the
gifted musicians of the city and also
active in the club work, gave a very
beautiful violin number and her ac
ccrrppiiiment was given most artis
tically by Mrs. Robert Reed.
i The ladies had requested the pres
ident of the chamber of commerce,.
C. C. Wescott. to addrtss them and in
a short and to the point address Mr.
Wescott urged community co-oper-aiiou..
stressing that every man in
terested in the welfale of the city
be a member of the chamber ;f coin
mere and that every lady that was
interested in the development of the
city be enrolled in the Woman's club,
that thmutrh the two organizations
a great deal of good could be accomp
lished. This was tlo- time of the mili
tant woman, two of the women of
tin country had been called to th
position of governor in two of t lu
st at s. Nellie Tayoe Ross of Wyoming
and .Maii:.m Ferguson in the threat
state of Texas, that women were
sitting on the benches of the courts
of law. practicing law. in the medi
cal profes.-ioii. active in business as
well as in politics and that through
their in'liui.ce then was a better in
fluence being felt. In the church the
influence of women in the iroveining
bodies was also being felt to a large
extent. In th.e community the woir.'-t:
could be u great lactor for the al
vancem nt of the community and in
tlK-ir better homes program they had
taken a great step forward for bet
ter communities.
The dramatic department of thc
c'ub then presented a one act playlet,
t'..e 'itle of which has not be. n giv
en, the playlet being original and
prepared by the local dramatic de
partment and iii this Mrs. F. G.
Coryell. Mrs. A. W. Bayersdorft r and
Mrs. Harry Belhr. very cleverly car
i ied out the thought of the intereFt
in the club activities and the ac
complishments of the club as well as
the movement within the national
organization for the Students Loan
fund that wuld enable worthy .stu
dents to secure their schooling. Th
ladies v ry cleverly gave the playlet
and which was a real treat of the
program.
Mis. W. W. Whitfield, the presi
dent of the first district of the N. F.
W. C. was introduced and gave a
short and very interesting resume of
the work of the national and state
organizations. The national organ
ization had arranged programs that
were prepared along lines of var
ious activities and sent to the var
ious state? where those adapted best
to the needs of the communities were
placed in the hands of the local club.
The three features of the years in
the national program, was the Buffer
Homes. Law Observance and Law En
forcement and the Student Loan
fund. The Better Homes movement
had been a great help to homemakers.
as after all the efforts of women in
other lines were small compared to
the great tasks of the home. The
governmental problem? and th'
mounting crime wave w re also
touched upon i:i the department of
law observance, the fact that the
greatest number of criminals were
mere youths was a matter of concern
for the motherhood of the countiy.
The sustaining of the prohibition
movement was also urged by the
speaker. In touchinc on the studenT
loan fund Mrs. Whit fold gave many
instances of its beneficial effect and
urged the first district clubs to get
into this work and help make its pos
sibility greater.
At the close of the formal program
Mrs. Turpin gave a resume" of the
club activities and then the nieinbi is
joined in the club litany as the new
officers were invited forward to be
inducted into office by the retiring
president.
The new offictrs of the club were
as follows:
President Mrs. E. H. Wescott.
Vice-President Mrs . Ray Mc
Maken. Recording secretary Mrs. Robert
Reed. '
Corresponding Secretary Mrs. L.
W. Egenberger.
Treasurer Mrs. A. W. Baversdor
fer. Auditors Miss May Murphy, Mrs.
L. W. Egenberger.
Mrs. Wescott. the new president
gave a few remarks on the outlook
for the coming year, complimenting
Mrs. Turpin on the high standard
that she had set for the past year.
One of the goals of the year would
be that every woman in Plattsmouth
should be invited to be a member of
this club, the dub gave the oppor
tunity for the middle aged lady or
one out of the school age to secure
a college education in the study
courses. The second great goal of
the club was to find out what the
general federation stood for and that
the club members should not be satis
fied to accept the endorsement of the
club to measures but to study and
find out for themselves what the
measures really mant and whether
or not they were in favor of them.
At the close of the meeting the
mebers adjourned until the first
meeting in September.
