Mr. Fa o - . , . .-, , . M n I vers will bt operated on Tuesdav for Services Are Held ft the First Meth-IHiu 9mi ti . , mmntinn. odist Chmch for Various Patriotic Societies. The observance of Memorial Sun- day in this city was held at the Fir.: Mtehodist church Sunday morning v. here the members of the W. R. C. were present in a body with repre sentatives of the other patriotic so cities also in attendance. The opening of the service was most fittingly arranged, the inspiring melody fo "The Battle Hymn of the Republic." being played on the organ by E. H. Wescott, church orgpnist. The invocation was offered by Rev. C. O. Troy, pastor of the church and the scripture by Rev. F. I. Finch, di rector of religious education of the Methodist church. The Rev. Gregory, pastor of the First Christian church, gave the prayer. Mrs. E. H. Wescott, choir director, was heard in a very beautiful patriotic number, "The Flag Passe By." The choir of the church gave as an anthem. "Angels of Peace." by Keller, as a special number of the service. The pastor. Rev. Troy, gave a won derful patriotic appeal in his sermon and which is given below: p The subject of the sermon was "Our National Soul." Text: "What is thy country? Ot what people art thou?" Jonah 1:8. The sermon stressed the fact that we are proua oi our nationality cause we Deiieve tnat our nation nas a soul. That the soul of the nation consists not in its extent of territory, population, or wealth and national resources, but in the aspirations of its people and the ideals for which they are willing to lay down their life. The pastor pointed out that our wealth and power as a nation could never be a guarantee of national per petuity. Our nation was born out of a struggle for social, religious and po litical liberty and it in thU heritage that we are to preserve unsulled and unspotted as the soul of the nation and pass it on to our posterity. The sermon set forth the interest of the nation in the individual, the equal opportunity that is the heritage of all. Our debt to those heroes living and dead who contributed so much to our national soul and our task to preserve these ideals that for count less generations to come the future of America may be as glorious as the past. The recessional was given by Mr. Wescott at the organ, "Onward Chris tian Soldier." HAS LICENSE REVOKED Monday afternon in the county court a complaint was filed by Coun ty Attorney W. G. Kieck against a young man giving the name of John F. Bruce, of Lincoln, who was charg ed with operating a car while intoxi cated and also for runr.ing away from an accident that it was alleged was caused by his auto. The acci dent occurred a mile and a half east of Elmwood when the car of Arthur Rase of that vicinity with his wife and her parents. Mr. and Mrs. Smith of Elmwood. was going west and the car filled with several parties from Lincoln, came along and the car which it was claimed belonged to Bruce, struck the rear wheel of the Rase car and caused its damage, but fortunately none of the occupants were seriously injured. Deputy Sher iff Rex Young and Constable Tom Svoboda were called to the scene and on arriving there found that all of the party had vanished except Bruce, who was unable to get away and was sleeping alone the roadway evidently under the influence of li quor. The young man was brought on in to this city. At the hearing before Judge Dux bury he was fined $25 for driving while intoxicated, $25 for running away from the accident and also had his drivers license revoked by the court. The sum total of the fine and costs amounted to $69.50 which was paid and the young man released with the understanding that the damage to the car of Rash would be taken care of. RETURNS FROM CONVENTION Mrs. Fred G. Egenberger. of this city, who is patriotic instructor of the Women's Relief Corns, who has been in attendance at the state con vention of the society which was held in connection with the G. A. R. meeting at Fremont, returned home Saturday. Mrs. Egenberger found a most interesting convention and one that was filled with a large number of activities from the start to finish and the visitors were shown the most delightful hospitality by the Fremont Ieople. FINE EQUIPMENT The Majestic cafe has now in op eration their new frigidaire system for caring for the ice cream and soft drinks that are handled as a part of the restaurant service and are much pleased with the new equipment which makes for the con venience of the patrons. WILL UNDERGO OPERATION From Monday's Daily Clarence Favors, local service man and former head of the local camp of the ML W. A., who has been at the S. Veterans hospital at Lincoln the past week, was home over Sumlav for a visit with the family, land wil probably have to remain there for the next few weeks. He is enthusiastic over the manner in which the patients are treated at the hospital and the constant inspection that is made by the heads of the hospital as to the care, food and treatment of the patients who arc at the hospital. The veterans 3re sup plied with every possible omfort and given the very best care v;hil2 they are at the hospital. Public Library Outstanding Institution Circulation of Books for the Year 1930 Reached 58.297 or 1312 Per Capita The Plattsmouth public library is an institution that is gaining nation al recognition for its services as a real worth while factor in the cen tral west tad one that has establish ed a real record for service and effi ciency. The report of the library for the year shows that this library has is- oe-.isue(j 5S.297 books in the twelve months period and which makes thirteen and a half books for every man, woman and child in the city of Plattsmouth. The record is one that for a city of this size is out standing in the United States, as far as known by the American Library Association being the largest per capita circulation of the country. The Plattsmouth library is also the fourth largest in the state of Nebraska in the number of volumes on its shelves and for efficiency and the usefulness it is in a class by it self. The operating cost of the library for the past year was $4,300 and which includes every item of ex pense, salaries, heating, new books, repairs and upkeep of the library in every way. The governing body of the library is eemvosed of E. H. Wes cott, president. Miss Barbara Gering. secretary. R. E. Bailey, Mrs. P. T. Heinemann and Rev. H. G. McClusky. The great interest and service that Miss Olive Jones, librarian, has given to the library has been a large factor in its continuous development as Miss Jones in this community service has given her home community a ser vice that would cost several thousand dollars a year from another trained librarian, she loving the work and with care and advice aiding the pa trons of the library in their search for entertaining fiction or the works of study and reference. The Platts mouth library without Miss Jones would be almost unthinkable and her services in the role of librarian has been something for which Platts mouth owes her a deep debt of gra titude. The librarian is now assisted by r Miss Verna Leonard, who also is a i most accommodating and untiring worker for the patrons who come to the great Nebraska library for their literature. The circulation is estimated on a 4.000 population and at this figure the cost of furnishing the 13 hooks and the operating cost of the library makes only $1 per capita and which is a very fine showing for the library management. MAY USE LEGION BUILDING Next noon-day luncheon of Platts mouth Chamber of Commerce. June 4th, will probably be held at Legion community building. This meeting will be the occasion of visit from Om aha C of C members, known as the Tribe of Yessir, who planned to come here last week, but postponed the date two weeks. The room over the Majestic used for bi-weekly Chamber of Commerce luncheons is too small to accommdate anywhere near the number who will be here that day, and the Legion building trustees, sensing the need of enlarged quarters has proffered the use of its building for the occa sion free of charge. No arrangements as yet have been completed for the serving of the meal, which is to be a regular 50c Cham ber of Commerce family style dinner. A program calculated to be of special interest to the Omaha visitors is be ing arranged. MURRAY WINS GAME The long looked for meeting of the Murray Red Sox and the Manley base ball team took place Sunday at the Manley ball park and with the result that the Red Sox captured the game by the score of 9 to 1. The game was interesting through with many fast plays. Louis Svoboda of the Red Sox was the chief batting star of the game with two two-sackers for the Red Sox. Hopkins for the Red Sox and Sheehan for Manley were the jhurlers of the game.

Traffic Over Missouri Here is Increasing Hard Surface Rc?d to Gienwocd and Shewing; of Route on the New Maps Brings Tourists The Plattsmouth Missouri river bridge, formally dedicated a year ago, is doing a gradually increasing vol ume of business. With a ferry cross ing operating only at favorable sea sons .,f the year and none-too-good roads, the Plattsmouth short cut was little known among tourist3, and on the opening of itr. bridge the Platts mouth Bridee company realized an educational Campaign must be under taken to acquaint people with the ad vantages offered in coming this way. Road signs were placed ex tensively throughout eastern Nebras ka and western Iowa pointing to the Plattsmouth bridge, as well as nu merous bill-board type signs with pic tures and information about the bridee. The State of Iowa got busy and graveled the road to Glen wood, making it an all-weather route. As soon as this was done the stock trucks from all southwest Iowa began coming this way. Then the map com panies were advised of the bridge be ing in service and they have helped materially in getting the fact before the tourist eye by showing the new crossine facilities here in their late 1936-31 maps. On a direct line west with the first all paved highway across Iowa, the Harding memorial highway; this roots should be very popular with ast to west motorists, southwest Iowa truckers and an ever increasing number of pleasure drivers. With a large investment in the bridge, the amount of toll that must be collected daily is no small sum. and although not up to expectancy yet. the directors are pleased with the steadi'y increasing patronage of this first year of operation and see in the not far distant future a tim? when the toll collections will more than meet the overhead expenses and per mit of reducing the indebtedness. Each dollar so applied will make the bridge that much nearer being a toll-free structure. The toll charges ar nominal, compared with the cost of crossing at Yankton, as well as numerous other such points where toll bridees flourish. The price here and at Nebraska City is the same, but of course on a bridge like that at Omaha with its steadily flowing lines of traffic in both directions through out the day and evening, it is not necessary to charge such a large toll, and yet be able to make many times more money than the smaller travel ed bridges that save the traveler from having to journey many miles out of his way up or down the river to find a crossing point leading into one of the metropolitan cities. So far. the Plattsmouth bridge has hot been used enough for inter-city meetings. Aside from a visit hack and forth between Plattsmouth and Glen wood Rotarians practically noth ing has been done in the line of good will promotion between Iowa and Nebraska neighbors who live only a proverbial stone's throw from each other, and yet through the barrier of past years have never fraternalized. Plattsmouth Legion post is planning an early meeting with Glenwood Le gionnaires as its guests and will later on return the visit. Other civic bod ies could do likewise and should. The bridge we clamored for for years is here and at our disposal. NAMED QUEEN 0E THE MAY Fmra Monday's T3s.ny Miss Leona Hudson of this city, who is a sophomore at the State Teachers college at Peru, has been honored by being selected as Queen of the May, at the May day festiv ities which were held today at the college as a part of the commence ment program which will cover the five days.
