FINDS MUCH MUD
Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Mrasek drove
to Lamoni, Iowa, taking Mr. and Mrs.
Sam Cline, parents of Mrs. Mrasek
back to their home after being here
for a few days. Mr. Mrasek reports
that the travel was very difficult
through the southern part of Iowa,
due to the fact that the Nishna. Nod
away and Grand rivers were all out
of their banks and spread over a
large part of the country, rendering
the roads anything but pleasnat and
making the going very slow through
the flooded areas. These rivers are
ordinarily very placid streams but
after heavy rains made a great deal
of trouble in the territory through
which they flow.

Business Men
View Work of
Railway Shops
Large Delegation Are Guests
"Traffic Tips" Club of Bur
lington Shops.
of
hrom Tuesday's Dally
The business men of Plattsmouth
were the guests of the "Traffic Tip"
club of the local Burlington shops on
a personally conducted tour of the
Plattsmouth Burlington, and BREX
shops this morning.
The party of business men, which
numbered about 40 entered the shops
at the Burlington store house gate,
where they were met by members of
the "Traffic Tip" club who welcom
ed them, and who were to conduct
the party on their tour. The first
department to be visited by the group
was the store house where most of
the material used in repairing cars
is stored, and where many other ma
terials used by the workmen are kept.
From the store house the party was
directed towards the offices where
they were shown the superintendent's
office as well as the company doctor's
office. Next the party visited the ma
chine shop, the machines here proved
very interesting to the business men
and much of the workmens' time was
spent in explaining just how and
what each particular machine did.
Especial interest was shown in the
Journal lathe, and the Wheel lathes,
as well as the compressor engine,
which seemed to hold a particular
fascination for most of the men.
From the machine shop the party
went to the blacksmith shop. Due to
the heat they did not tarry long
there, although a few did linger long
enough to watch two of the work
men work a red hot bar of iron into
shape. Next the guides directed the
visitors to the coach shop, where the
men were busy scraping and repaint
ing coaches, also putting new frames
under the coaches, and replacing the
upholstering on the cars. Particular
attention was paid the department
of the cpaeb shop in which the elec
trical equipment of the coaches was
being worked on.
Leaving the coach shop the party
next visited the tin shop where tin
ners were busy hammering tin into
all kinds of shapes for all conceivable
numoses. The tanks used in the pro
cess of nickeling and finishing which
were found in this department neia
f he attention of all who saw them.
Next the party went to the heating
nlant where they saw the Doners
which furnish most of the heat for
the entire shops, from there they
went to the truck shop and then to
the dry-kiln where there was a great
deal of lumber which was stored
there for the purpose of drying.
The nartv then turned tneir steps
toward the BREX or refrigerator de
partment of the shops, there they
visited the store house and the steel
car shops. It was very interesting to
the men to see how the refrigerator
cars were put together, the material
used in insulating the sides and roofs
of these cars and the material usea
in constructing the interior of the
cars.
As the men walked down toward
stopped along the way to watch the
the north end of the shop yards they
workmen at their various tasKs, tney
saw men employed doing everything
from piling lumber to driving rivets.
As the narty neared the norm en
trance to the shops one of the mem
bers conceived the idea that t rea
Rea, who is in charge ot the Iowa-
Nebraska Light & Power interests in
Plattsmouth, take the party of busi
ness men througn tne local gas ami
ir slants. The Darty first visited the
e-as nlant where they were snown
how the gas, which they use in their
gas stoves, is made, being snown now
th Riilnhur and drin Is taken irom
the gas so that it may be used. From
the gas plant the men visitea me ice
house where they were shown around
the plant by Charlie Ault, wno nas
charge of the plant.
After heiner shown arouna tne ice
house, and cooling themselves off to
a good advantage after their hot trip
through the shops the group oi dusi-
ness men again turned tneir steps
toward Main street. It was quite a
relief to set foot on the citys gooa
Rnlid cement sidewalks after navmg
spent the morning climbingover rail
road tracks and fine cinders.
The visitors were particularly im-
nressed with the 6Dlendid appearance
of the 6hops .the improvements which

who acted as guides to the party on

Plane Forced
to Landing on
Farm Near Here
Mrs. Angela L. Joseph of Denver En
Route to Madison, Wis., Forced
Down by Engine Trouble
The residents of the territory
southwest of this city were thrilled
Sunday shortly after noon when the
plane piloted by Mrs. Angela L.
Joseph, of Denver, was landed in a
field on the C. L. Jean farm as the
result of engine trouble.
The pilot of the plane had been
en route to Madison, Wisconsin, to
get her daughter Grace, and then
to return to Denver, leaving the Lin
coln air port Sunday morning but
after reaching this far on the jour
ney there was considerable difficulty
in the engine of the plane and which
finally led to the forced landing of
the plane.
The carberator of the engine was
clogged in some way and made nec
essary for the plane to be landed
and the pilot guided the machine
onto the plowed field where the
ground was not the most suited for
the purpose and the plane diving
head on, was overturned, damaging
the plane to such an extent that sev
eral days work will be necessary be
fore it can be placed back into serv
ice.
Mrs. Joseph was able to extricate
herself from the plane and suffered
no injuries in the forced landing
and she came on to this city where
she secured transportation back to
Lincoln and where she will secure
aid in the repairing of the damaged
plane.
Another plane which was also in
the air at the time also landed In
a field near that where Mrs. Joseph
had been forced down, but after as
certaining that the pilot was not
injured, took off again.
Mrs. Joseph hopes to gain the dis
tinction of being the first woman
to fly over Pike's Peak, in the Rocky
mountains and while the accident
may delay her venture for some
time she is still determined to make
the flight over the lordly peak of
the great Rockies.
As soon as the plane is repaired
Mrs. Joseph expects to continue her
journey and hopes for better condi
tions for the flight when she again
makes the attempt.
MANY VISITORS HERE
This city was alive with auto
parties passing through the city Sun
day, the tourists from many distant
points being very noticeable while
the local travel of Iowa and Nebras
ka people was one of the heaviest
so far this Bummer. The heavy tra
vel brought a great deal of business
to the restaurants of the city who
were kept busy from early in the
morning until late at night serving
the demands of the auto parties. The
noon day luncheon hour found all
of the eating places of the city
crowded to their capacity to serve
the visitors who were enjoying the
day's outing in traveling over this
attractive part of Nebraska.
The new bridge over the Missouri
river here was a very busy place
with the flow of travel both from
the east and west passing over the
structure, large numbers of Omaha
and Lincoln motorists making the
trip around through this section and
up the Iowa side of the river while
the usual Sunday flow of visitors to
Shenandoah radio stations passed
this way as being the nearest and
most convenient.

District Court
Opens for June
Term Today
Naturalization Ceremonies Feature
the Event Class of Three Ad
mitted at Session
From Monday's Dally
This morning was the opening of
the June term of the district court
and following the calling of the
docket the morning was spent in
hearing the applications for citizen
ship and in which Friedrich Basse of
Wabash; George F. W. Sander of
Murdock, and Carl H. Christianson
of Weeping Water, were admitted.
The naturalization day is given
over to a short patriotic program
and on this occasion a number of the
patriotic societies of the city and
county were represented.
The American Legion was repre
sented by Henry A. Newman post
of Louisville and Attorney Arthur
L. Palmer on behalf of the Legion
gave the new citizens welcome and
particularly to the one German war
veteran who was represented in the
list of applicants. Mr. Palmer stress
ed the needs of the citizen partici
pating in the fullest in the affairs of
the government and to be ready to
serve in any way the cause of the
country.
Alex M. Geist, of Louisville, him
self a former subject of Russia, a
member of the American Legion, also
told of the necessity for the citizen
giving his best for his country in
peace or in war, of exercising his
right to run the affairs of the gov
ernment through the ballot box, to
support and uphold the nation and
in this Mr. Geist gave the preamble
to the constitution of the American
Legion. Patriotism was not mere
flag waving or cheering but real
service every day to the country.
Mrs. C. A. Rosencrans on behalf
of the American Legion Auxiliary
gave the presentation of the flag
manuals and instructions which
were given to the new citizens.
Mrs. Robert Troop for the W. R. C.
was heard in ' a "very beautiful and
wonderfully given program, "Ador
ation of the Flag" and which was a
very impressive touch to the cere
monies. The Daughters of the American
Revolution were called upon for
their part of the program and under
the leadership of Mrs. E. II. Wescott
"America" was given and the flag.
Mrs. George B. Mann, regent of
the Fontenelle chapter of the D. A.
R. gave the following very interest
ing talk on the citizenship and the
history of the D. A. R. :
In the beginning of our history
as a nation, the framers of our con
stitution provided a legal way by
which foreign born people could
legally become citizens of the U. S.
At that time, this country was a
land of almost boundless undevelop
ed resources. All imigrants who
came to our shores were welcome
to share our plenty. Since the dis
covery of America more than 37,
000,000 immigrants have come to
the U. S.
Our government has purchased
thousands of acres of land until we
have increased our area more than
three fold. We have developed new
industries, yet we are unable to meet
the need of all who seek homes here
Of late years it has been necessary
to restrict immigration. However we
are still able to admit a large quoto
of foreigners every year. Of those
who are admitted and who qualify
for citizenship they are indeed wel
come.
We share with you all the oppor
tunities our our country, our govern
ment protects you, we bestow on you
the gift of citizenship. The U. S. ex
pect you to obey her laws, to be hon
est, industrious and loyal in time of
peace, and in time of need to be
ready to stand shoulder to shoulder
with her own native born sons in
the defence of this flag and this na
tion.
The U. S. has many patriotic or
ganizations grouped around histor
ical events. I represent the D. A. R.,
whose members are descendants of
the patriots who served in the revol
utionary war. This war established
the U. S. as an independent nation.
Several years ago Fontenelle Chap
ter D. A. R. appointed a committee
of which Mrs. Wescott was chair
man, to consult with Judge Begley
as to the feasibility of giving a pub
lic welcome to the new naturalized
citizens. On March 13, 1922, Mrs.
Leete, our regent, gave a few words
of welcome and presented manuals
to a class of thirty-one new citizens
Thus this custom originated. For
eight years patriotic organizations
have taken part in these naturaliza
tion programs.
These manuals are for the infor
mation of immigrants and foreigners
and are useful to new citizens. We
have them printed in seventeen lan
guages.
If you have relatives cr friends
whotwant to become citizens and
who do not read English we can pro
vide them with these manuals writ'
ten in their awn language. Give us
the name, address and the language
they can read, and they will get the
manual. It costs them nothing. The
printing and. distribution is paid for
by the D. A. R., and is part of their
Americanization work. These that
I present to you are in the English
language.
HAS TONSILS REMOVED
Saturday morning, Margaret and
Oliver Henton, sons of Mr. and Mrs.
Harry Henton and grandchildren of
Mr. and Mrs. Will Oliver of this
