K. garage led yesterday afternoon to Edward Mitchell facing a charge of a second violation of the Nebraska liquor law, the fall on the walk re sulting in the man falling into the hands of Constable Tom Svoboda. Mr. Svoboda was starting out Washington avenue to serve some papers in a civil action and when near the O.

Burlington Officials Guests at Luncheon Group Headed by J. H. Adelott, Gen eral Manager of Lines .West in City on Business. From Thursday's Daily A group or six Burlington railway officials was present at today's C. of C. luncheon, which was attended by almost 100 per cent of the director ate as well. The Burlington officials, who are in the city on business connected with getting their buildings placed in chape to turn over to the new can ning factory management, included J. 11. Adelott, general manager of lines west; K. W. Fisher, assistant superintendent; Walter Kerst, road master; E. F. Kechtra, master car penter; Wm. Thomas, division engi neer and Oscar Frieburg, chief eteam fitter. : Committee reports took but brief time in the proceedings, most im portant of which was the announce ment of Industries committee that the canning factory is to locate here, al so of a letter being sent to every or ganization in the city urging better support of industries already here, in line with the advertising campaign now being carried oa in the columns of the Journal. W. G. Kieck reported on behalf of the special committee recently nam ed to study tax conditions, touching on the committee's findings in regard to the school situation, particularly the matter of wage contracts. He stated a mass meeting was being called by the committee at which they hoped to have present all inter ested tax payers in the school dis trict. . Ballots were provided at each plate and a. vote taken upon the matter of advisability of filing, petitions asking a special election on the question of Commission form of government, al though no announcement was made of the result after the ballots had been collected. Insight to Bail Problems President Schneider called upon Mr. Adelott, who responded with a brief address in which he stated the railroad had been pleased to lend its aid in locating the canning factory here and hoped to continue to co operate with the city at all times. Mr. Adelott discussed some of the problems the railroads face, includ ing large surplusses of equipment (particularly coal cars and locomo tives) which they cannot dispose of and have to carry on their invest ment inventories although they are net able to realize any return from them. He said their daily loadings in the Illinois coal fields alone used to run around 1.000 cars, and 25 days were required for the cars to make a round trip to consumer and back to the mine, so at that time it seemed wise to invest in some 26,000 coal cars. Then came a great falling of, partially due to natural gas enter ing the territory and partially on ac count of industrial inactivity, so that today they have many of the cars on their hands as dead equipment.

South Sixth Street People Remove Snow McMaken Firm Has Charge of Work and Greatly Improves Con dition of Travel. The snow and ice embankment that was placed in the center of Sixth and Main streets as the result of the removal of the heavy snow fall of two weeks ago, was attacked yesterday afternoon on South Sixth street and TTIe highway made pass able. The snow had gradually formed an ice-like barrier and which it was necessary to remove by pick and shovel, a force of men being secured Friday and turned loose on the job, making the street a great "deal bet ter for travel by nightfall.

The warm and pleasant day had moved a great deal of the ice and snow along Main street today, but on the south portion cf the street there is still enough to make the travel uncomforable for cars and trucks. The enterprise of Mr. McMaken and the South Sixth street business men is to be commended and they will receive the grateful apprecia tion of everyone who has occasion to travel that street.

Dairy Industries Contributing to Buying Power Manufacture cf Butter and Cottage Cheese Provides Market for Products of the Farm. From Friday' Dally ll MKK .. WKIJB, '. of '. In l. ( Mia. The campaign of the Industries committee or the Chamber of Com merce to get local people to buy Plattsmoutb-made goods whenever possible, is beginning to bear fruit, and local industries report an increas ing demand for their products from the Plattsmouth retail dealers. The reason wherefor is most logi cal and has to do with our own in dividual prosperity as much as that of the industries that may be aided by the increased demand. A striking example of how two industries turning out similar pro ducts have turned thousands of dol lars into trade channels in this com munity is afforded in the cases of Plattsmouth Produce and- the Home Dairy. Under the efficient management of Mr. G. K. Hetrick. Plattsmouth Pro duce (successor to Farmers Co-Op. Creamery) has more than doubled its output and is shipping large amounts of Casco butter to the eastern mar ket, where it commands a top price. As a result of this increased activity. there has been paid out for cream and poultry by this one concern alone the startling sum of $25,112.67 in the last six months of operation, all of which went to farmers living within the Plattsmouth trade area greatly increasing their buying power, which had shrunken to nil due to the de moralized market on grain and live stocky Mr. "Hetrick anticipates his expenditure In this line for the-el-tire year will gross between $65,000 and $75,000 well over $1,000 each week. Home Dairy Active Another source of great revenue to the farmers during the past year has been the Home Dairy, ably managed by Phil Hoffman, a buttermaker and creamery man of long experience. This institution has paid out the sum of $22,000 for products of the farm during 1931, divided as follows: Butterfat, $13,000; Eggs. $4,160; Poultry. $3,380; Milk, $1,500. Xot all of this has gone into home manu factured products, but if the demand for these items were increased local ly production could easily be increas ed accordingly. During the year, Mr. Hoffman re ports that he has manufactured 26, 000 pounds of butter, about half of which has been sold in Plattsmouth. In that time he has also sold up wards of 5.000 pounds of cottage cheese. How to Increase Output Does it behoove the local business man and Plattsmouth eitJzens inter ested in prosperous conditions and steady employment to buy and boost for the products of these two local industries that are contributing to the farmers' income and will employ Plattsmouth labor as their business expands to larger proportions? Well, we'll just leave the answer to that problem to you, Mr. and Mrs. Journal Reader. (Xote In other articles to follow, we well tell something of the activi ties of other Industries. In the mean time, just remember that you can buy Plattsmouth - made bread, butter, flour, cigars, baskets, brooms, print ing and tire rim tools. Soon you will be able to buy Plattsmouth canned products, due to the efforts of this same Chamber of Commerce commit tee that is doing its utmost to impress upon the people of our community the important cf giving preference to PJattsmouth-made products In all their purchases).
