Census Taking
Will Start in
State Soon
On April First the Counting of Resi
dents of the State Will
Be Undertaken
rrom Thursdays rany
This morning Harley O. Parsons,
BuperviBor of the U. S. censuB for
the counties of Lancaster, Cass, Sar
py and Otoe, arrived in the city to
look after the arrangements for the
taking of the census in this county
aua win visit the several towns and
the prospective census takers in or
der to get lined up on the work which
will be carried out in the month of
April.
The taking of the census is an im
portant matter to every community
and particularly to Nebraska as the
state has the prospect of losing a
congressman unless the coming cen
sus reveals a larger population than
the last census.
In the taking of the census the
enumerators should receive the hear
ty co-operation of all civic bodies and
the citizens at large in getting the
data needed to carry out the work
of the complete census. Every man,
woman and child should be listed and
the government is also taking a
check of the unemployment situa
tion in all parts of the country as a
part of the census of the inhabitants.
The information that is gathered
as to the residents is confidential
and the information is used only in
determining the general condition of
the country and the number of in
habitants In each state, city and
towns and counties over our land.
Mr. Parsons states that families
that are expecting to be absent from
their places of residence during the
month of April can aid in the work
by sending for the necessary blanks
to room 421 Federal building, Lin
coln, and filling these out can have
their families counted in the census
this year.
In the giving in of the returns
every member of the family should
be counted and the information given
to the census euumerator when ihey
call at the homes or business houses
over the city.
The government Is making an ef
fort to have a real censuB taken this
year instead of the careless way in
which the last census was taken and
where many were omitted from the
census rolls.
When the census enumerators come
around give them your assistance in
fixing the returns and see that the
community has a real check of the
number of Inhabitants as it is im
portant to cities and towns as to the
exact number of inhabitants as it
fixes the application of many of the
laws.

From Thursday's Dauy
While Theodore Ptak, one of the

BARN BURNED DOWN ON THE
HOLLENBECK FARM FRIDAY
Last Friday afternoon about three
o'clock the bam on the Hollenbeck
farm -northwest of Elmwood burned
to the ground and also a hog house.
Mr. Plymale, who lives on the farm
had gotten a wagon load of corn
ground and returned home with It
and put it in the barn, unhitching
the team and putting them in the
barn to feed. He then went to the
house for dinner. A short while af
ter this the barn was noticed to be
on fire. Mr. Plymale hastened to the
barn and with great difficulty was
able to get his fine team of horses
out but only at great risk and had his
face and hands burned in doing this.
An atempt was made to get the wagon
load of ground grain out but the
wheels of the wagon cramped and the
fire was getting so hot that it could
not be gotten out. The hog house
together with a sow and pigs was
burned and two salves were burned.
The corn crib which was full of corn
and other grain was burning on the
north side but the chemical truck
from Alvo arrived and the fire ex
tinguished on the crib. The fire could
not have been put out without the
assistance of the Alvo truck, and this
demonstrated that a' good chemical
truck is a fine thing in fighting fires. .
It was thought at first that the fire
would spread to the house and some
household effects were removed. Peo
ple had come from a good many miles
to help. It was not known how the
fire originated. The property dam
age was covered partially by insur
ance. Elmwood Leader-Echo.

Iowa People
Pleased with
New Bridge
Structure Here Makes for a More
Direct Route to the West for
the Traveler
Prom Frtrtay"s Dally
The Plattsmouth representatives
who were in attendance at the meet
ing of the Harding highway associa
tion yesterday at Ottumwa, Iowa,
found a very pleasing sentiment from
the representatives all along the
line of highway No. 34, in favor of
the new highway to the west af
forded by the bridging of the Mis
souri river at this place.
The meeting took no definite ac
tion on the changing of the route of
the Harding highway that now
swings south from Red Oak into
Shenandoah, Iowa, but as the per
manent highway No. 34 is running on
into Glenwood, our neighboring
city, it is an easy matter for the
traveler to hit the more direct route
to the east and west by coming to
this city over the new bridge as the
surfaced highway that is built by
Mills county runs to the bridge to
be joined here by the graveled road
into Plattsmouth.
In recent years the names of the
King of Trail, Washington highway.
Central route and other designated
highways have largely gone into the
waste basket as the road projects
have brought the numbering of the
various routes and to which they are
known as highway No. 75 or 34 as
the case may be, followed on the
road maps by this designation.
The improvement of highway No.
34 in Iowa makes it one of the best
highway systems in that state and
affords a straight and speedy route
to Chicago with paving all of the
way from the Missouri river prac
tically into Chicago.
The traveler to the west through
this city can find three routes that
will give them a speedy route to the
west and to Lincoln, the capitol city
of the state, as well as a few mom
ents drive to Omaha over a surfaced
highway that in a few months will
be completely paved.

ville Being Fast Developed
Into Surfaced Road
The long desired and hoped for
surfaced highway from this city to
Louisville is fast being realized by
the joint efforts of the residents of
the territory traversed by the road
and the nearby farmers, the reci

OMAHA DECISION IS UPHELD
Kansas City In a ruling signed
here Friday by Judge Kimbrough,
Stone, presiding judge of the circuit
court of appeals, a recent devision
of Federal Judge Woodrough of Oma
ha, in connection with bankruptcy
proceedings of the Peters Trust com
pany there, was upheld.
In approving Judge Woodrough'a
decision that the appointment of a
federal receiver for the defunct in
stitution be allowed, the circuit
court arbiters decided against the
state of Nebraska, which had ap
pealed from Omaha federal ruling.
Attorney General Sorensen of Ne
braska had asked the higher court
to forbid appointment of the federal
received and authorize the state de
partment of trade and commerce to
take over assets of the failed finan
cial house.
The Peters Trust company filed a
petition in volunatry bankruptcy
on Dec. 10. 1929, but a completed
schedule of assets recently form
ulated by the federal receiver at
Omaha showed that assets of the
company, listed at $1,842,656.07,
are more than double the liabilities.
It is virtually assured that all cre
ditors will be paid in full, with a
substantial amount left over for
stockholders.
