The secretary of the Plattsmouth I'iUi & Building: association, V. Lutz, is just issuing the forty-third annual statement of this institution, which for almost half a century has been a strong factor in the commun ity building: activities. This building and loan association was formed in 1885 by local people and has contributed to the growth of the. city in the past by the oppor tunity it has given for a safe and conservative investment for the man or woman who wished a profitable return on their money, and as well Kiving the persons wishing to own a home the chance to secure one in easy payment plans that have at the expiration of the time of the loans and the maturing of the shares given the home to the owner and without unnecessary sacrifice. A great many here have found that the Plattsmouth Loan & IIuiM ing association wa3 a real friend to both the investor and these who carried their loans there for the pur chase of homes or business property. That it has filled an important part in the community life is shown by the fact that at the close of the forty-third year it is strong and ac tive in the field of this section of the state and holds high rank among the organizations of its kind in the state. The association has a strong re serve fund and with the very eap- j able and careful management that i is given by the officers and the close j touch that the directors have at all times with the affairs of the associa- ! tion has made it almost excellent community asset. The volume of business of the association shows a total of $304, 551.75, which is excellent in view of the general condition that has pre vailed over the west in the period since the close of the world war and indicates the healthy condition of affairs in the city itself. MISCELLANEOUS SHOWER A misceallaneous shower was given Friday evening by Mrs. Ed Beins and Mrs. Herbert Beins at the Ed Beins home on South (!th street in honor of Mrs. Hoy Beins, a recent bride and a sister of Mrs. Herbert Beins, Many beautiful and useful pres ents were received by the bride, which will long be remembered. In the serving the Mrs. Beins were assisted by Mrs. Maggie Mason and little Miss Ruth Holcomb of Neligh, Neb., a niece of Mrs. Ed Beins.

MARTIN & CHASE, Owners Date Set for Award of Legion Essay Medals Public Ceremonies at Nehawka Audi torium Tuesday Evening, July 24th, at 8 O'Clock The public award of medals in the Legion's Cass county essay contest, conducted in conjunction with the statewide contest, prior to the end of the 1927-28 school year will be held at the Nehawka auditorium on next Tuesday evening, July 24th. Nehawka being the home of Mis3 Mary Pollard county winner and also state winner, and the post there hav ing been one of the three to contrib ute to the purchase of county medals when the contest was first announced in February, it is entirely fitting that the ceremonies be held there and the agreement on the date and place was reached at a conference of County Legion Commander V. It. Holly and A. G. Cisney, commander of the Ne hawka post at the county picnic at Louisville Sunday. The state department is being ad vised and will send one or more rep resentatives. The medals for the four Cass coun ty winners arrived last week and have been engraved by John Crabill, who donated his services in this line. They are now on display in the win dow of Mr. Crabill's jewelry store. where they will remain until -the date of the formal presentation. Program details have not been ar ranged sufficient as yet to announce the same, but they will be given out later. Medal winners in Cass county con test are: Mary Pollard, Nehawka, first; F. II. Guthniann, Murdock, sec ond; Doris M. Parsell, Elmwood, third, and Dorothy Brink, Platts mouth, fourth. The posts contributing to the pur chase of the medals are Elmwood, Ne hawka and Plattsmouth. The public is invited to attend the program at which the medals will be presented to the winners and every effort will be made to have the four young people present to receive their respective awards. The occasion will be the more im portant because of the fact that the first state prize will also be awarded to Miss Pollard at this time, on her treatise, which has been copied and recopied in many of the city and small town papers throughout the state. A delegation from the local post will accompany County Commander Holly to Nehawka next Tuesday evening to attend the ceremonies and Miss Alpha Peterson, county superin tendent will also be present and have a part in the program if she arrives home from her vacation trip by that time. Further details of the pro gram will be given later. -IBase BallllS- -Sunday, July 22- Omaha's Own and Best Fire Dep't Dall Team vs Platts Interstate Team Come and enjoy an after noon of baseball Every body is to Win this Game. 4I-I"I"M"t-I"I"I 'I-M-l-I-I-M- m m a a I M 1 k V FARM BUHtAU Mil ?

Pollard at Nehawka, on last Mon day morning there was a stir when the home was discovered to be on fire. An alarm was turned in and the Nehawka fire department re sponded and with the very vigorous work which the organization was able to do. the fire was soon under control. The origin of the fire was a mystery, and was found to have started in the attic just under the roof, and required some active hust ling of the fire boys to extinguish the -flames. The fire loss was con siderable and the loss caused by the fighting of the fire was some, which aaaeu 10 me amouni. . r. - j bulld them good and strong to with me acent. navine me u&iv on mc i home was over and looked after the damasre in comoanv with J. M. Tee- Soil Having Dams of Concrete At first thought concrete might seem the best material with which to construct small soil saving dams and in a measure this is true. On the other hand the average person build ing a soil saving dam of concrete would probably have more failures than successes. There are several principles which must be followed in attempting to put a dam in any kind of a ditch. These principles can be easily stated as follows: The dam of obstruction must first be strong enough to withstand the pressure of the wate rand anchored in place so water cannot slide along. There must be water-tight joints be tween the dam and banks of the ditch, otherwise a small stream will start through and in less than no time the dam will be a wrecked sf rneMirp. This has been the cause of most of the failures of large dams' which have cost the country thou-i sands or aoiiars in property loss aim hundreds of lives besides. The other point to be considered in the matter of a spillway for the j flood water to pass over the dam. s Consider this fact for a moment and ; you will eaFily understand the im-j portanoe of this last mentioned fea ture. Suppose you build a solid con-' Crete dam across the ditch with the 'idea of filling it. At the first flood. water comes down, rises to the top of the dam and spills over. It strikes on the lower side cutting out a deep hole and about the next thing your concrete dam is about to tumble over. In the construction of concrete clams for erosion control we must garden, but no settlement was effect ed, as it was desired that a little time be had to arrive more definitely at the extent of the damage. JESSE ALLEN AT REST Jesse Ambrose Allen was born in Pontiac, Livingston county, Illinois August 15th, 1SS0, and early in life came to make his home in Nebraska, and resided at Nehawka for a num ber of years and was well and very favorably known by a large number of people there. He also resided at Delia, Kansas, where he hr3 friends and relatives. During the latter years he has been in very bad health , stand the water pressure, carry the wings back into the banks a distance of 2 or 3 feet, carry the base a like distance below the bottom of the ditch and last put a spill-apron on the lower side on which the water may fall.

Paving of the highway from Coun-j cil Bluns south thru uienwoou, laoor and Sidney to the Missouri state line, a mile south of Hamburg, Iowa, is one of the big construction jobs now J under way in southwestern Iowa, and; proof that the work is progressing is, found in the statement that the ten I mile stretch between Hamburg and Sidney was opened up for travel its entire length Saturday. The paving between Sidney and Glenwood is pretty well advanced and by early fall the entire sixty mile stretch will be open. With the extensive road improve ment program going on in Iowa, it is doubly important that Tlattsmouth get that Missouri river bridge we hear so much about. With it. practically all the southwestern Iowa traffic into! Omaha would come thru here.

I Editor Journal: J I Just read an article in your paper I copied from the Sarpy County Agri culturist, attempting to boost Judge James T. Begley, which from the matter therein contained must have eminated from himself. The first thing which proves it, is the follow ing statement. "As district judge he i has been called upon many times, to J construe the liquor act. He w as the ' first district judge to construe the ' act as permitting evidence of smell to be received instead of the liquors, land also was the first judge to hold that a mortgage lien on an automo "bile was lost when the auto was con . fiscated and proved to have been used ! for the illegal transportation of in itoxicating liquor. This case was ap ! pealed to the supreme court and at the request of the county attorney he wrote the brief on behalf of the state and also the brief on rehear- I I do not know whether or not this statement is false or true, but I do know that his name did not ap pear on the brief as the writer there- .of.
