Proves a Strong
Asset to City
Plattsmoutli Loan & Building Asso
ciation Completer Its 43rd
Ytar of Activity.
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.

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.

BLAZE CAUSES EXCITEMENT
HEARD IN EECITAL
At the home of Mr. and Mrs. R. C.
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

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

Pontiac, Livingston county, Illinois
August 15th, 1SS0, and early in life
came to make his home in Nebraska,

NEW PAVING OPENED

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

doubly important that Tlattsmouth

VISIT AK-SAR-BEN
From Tuesday's Tjatly
While the civic bodies of this city (
had no official notification of thet
annual Cass county night at the
Ak-Sar-Ben den at Omaha, the big
show was held last evening at the j
auditorium and a number from this
city who had received information of j
the forthcoming event were on hand.
The den show has usually been a .
great event for the residents of this
locality and in past years the
Chamber of Commerce has been the
official agency for the handling of
th tickets and local arrangements
but this year there was apparently
no one here to head the move and
the .Plattsmouth representatives had j

J I Just read an article in your paper
I copied from the Sarpy County Agri

James T. Begley, which from the
