ANNOUNCES PLATF0KLI
April 30, 1930.
The Plattsmouth Journal:
I am soon going to file for State
Senator of the second senatorial dis
trict on the Democratic ticket.
I am not in favor of the State of
Nebraska paying the depositors of
failed banks the money the active
state banks owe to them.
But I am in favor of the State of
Nebraska paying back the money it
used while handling the failed banks.
Surely, the depositors lost enough
money without the State of Nebraska
using any of theirs. The repeal of
the Bank Guaranty Law is uncon
stitutional for this reason. Can we
pass a law repealing all notes and
mortgages onw in existence? We can
pas3 one but it would be unconstitu
tional. How then can a law repeal
ing $20,000,000 worth of debts be
constitutional?
If we cannot pass a law that the
depositors do not have to pay the
banks their notes and mortgages, how
pould we pass a law that the bankers
do not have to pay the depositors?
Of course this law is unconstitutional
and the-state banks will be com
pelled to pay their assessments.
I believe that all Rural Free De
livery routes should be graveled be
fore we build any more state roads in
this district. I also believe that the
U. S. government and the state will
pay their share of graveling on mail
routes.
Yours respectfully,
GEORGE V, OLSEN.

COOLING DEMONSTRATION
The Plattsmouth
Co-operative
Creamery and the Farm Bureau have
arrnnppfl fnr a Dalrv Products Day
to be held on Wednesday, May 7th
mlloo rth rt Mnrror Thp mpptlnt?
will begin at two o'clock.
r t. tm,- of thp riPnittiml ei-
tension service at Lincoln will give a
cream scoring demonstration and dis
cuss sanitary methods of producing
good cream and milk. Paul R. Hoff,
of the extension service and II. J.
Young, of the Portland Cement asso
ciation will hold a demonstration at
which they will complete the con
struction of a concrete cooling tank
and discuss the use of it and the re-
sults other dairymen have obtained
irom tnese tanKs.
It has been stated that dairymen
in the United States are losing $40,-
000,000 annually due to poor quality
of milk and cream produced. Over
coming this loss is a matter entirely
within the hands of the dairy farm-
ers of the nation.
Naturally the nroduction of either
o liio-Vi rtin 1 1t v r f r r r rn 1 f tn I1U I.e.
U UMllkJ Vl XlrMftlB limn -
gins with the dairymen havlriK ft
disease-free herd. The Hecond Jm-
portant step is the practice of Ban I
tary methods in caring for tho rnilk;
cleanliness of the cow; clean uten
,sils, and storage all have their part
in producing a high grade product.
Clean dairy products, not only mean
larger profits to the dairyman but In
turn to the creamery or company to
whom the dairyman Hells hia prod
uct.
Rapid cooling of either milk or
cream is essential and keeping them
at a low temperature Is a necessary
step in producing a quality product.
This may be satisfactorily and eco
nomically accomplished by placing
the cans of cream or milk In a con
crete cooling ta
nk and pumping cold
well water throu
in ir h the tank, for ix
period of at least an hour. Continu-
ous pumping of course producen a
better result. Well water in Nebras-
ka has been known to cool cream to
below 60 degrees F., in an hour and
without further cumning. by closing
the lid of the tank, maintaining the
temperature for at least twelve hours.

Omaha Pender, a town of 992
population, situated in the northeast
corner of the state, was hard hit by
a tornado that struck the town late
Thursday.
All means of communication be
tween Pender and Omaha were de
stroyed by the storm. A local tele
graph office which reported it was
conversing with a lineman near Pen
der when the storm struck, said the
information they had received before
the line was broken was that the
town was demolished.
From Pender the tornado was re
ported to have moved northeast thru
Homer, Jackson, Winnebago, Ban
croft and Walthill.
None of these towns was report
ed to have been as hard hit as Pen
der. Populations of the towns are:
Homer, 491; Bancroft, 673; Winne
bago, 648; Walthill, 1,145, and Jack
son 450. All are in the center of the
grain and dairying districts. Mill
ing is the principal industry of the
region.
Two Storms Hit Section.
Meager wire reports from the
stricken area said that two separate
storms struck the section, the first at
4:50 p. m. and the second a short
time later.
The first storm, striking five miles
northwest of Homer, missed the town
by a quarter of a mile. It moved
so slowly that all persons in its path,
it was said, were able to escape altho
the twister left a trail of wrecked
buildings.
Mrs. Millie Lathrop, Homer tele
phone operator, who won the Vail
medal for her bravery during the
flood at Homer several years ago.
,was again a heroine Thursday. Noti
fied of the approach of the storm, she
telephoned every family she could
reach in the path of the twister and
warned them to seek safety.
Crosses Into Iowa.
The tornado crossed the Missouri
,river five miles northwest of Salix,
la., and levelled nearly every tree in
p. timber tract near there. It appear
ed to be raging over a 100 yard wide
stretch and to be depping toward the
.earth every quarter mile.
One family, seeing the storm ap
proach, was able to find safety in the
home of a neighbor a mile away, so
slowly did the tornado move. Their
home, however, was destroyed.
The storm struck the farm of Buf?
ford Buel, where it destroyed all the
.buildings except the residence and a
Jien house. Five horses were killed
and two automobile trucks destroyed.
All members of the family escaped in
jury as they sought safety in a cel
lar.
The tornado then struck the Mar
gin Larson farm a quarter mile north.
Several buildings were razed there
.and Mrs. Larson received a scalp
wound whn two bricks fell on her
when she and her husband sought
safety in the storm cellar.
Several buildings were damaged
considerably at the farm home of
Frank Reed. A hay rack was wreck
ed there.
