In Trade at Home Contest
First Prize Essay of James Webb,
Grade Six, of St. John's
Parochial School.
No town can grow and prosper
whose citizens send away for every
thing they need. It is in the same
position as the home whose members
only eat and sleep there, lacking co
operative spirit. Money sent away
passes completely out of the com
raunity and is never seen again. On
the other hand, what cne spends with
stores passes and re-passes among the
town's citizens until it falls into the
hands of some mail order or large
city store customer, then goodbye.
Each time money is thus circu
lated, it either goes to pay for pur
chases, making the merchant some
profit with which, to pay taxes, hire
help and support worthwhile en
deavors, or passes back into the hands
of local workmen, enabling them in
turn to buy more goods.
Local merchants pay the bulk of
taxes in any town, being principal
supporters of schools, public library,
street lights, parks, fire and police
protection as well as municipally
sonsored amusements. Take away
this revenue paid by business men
and industries and there wouldn't be
enough left to start to operate the
city government and public schools.
Surely we owe these men support, so
they may remain In business and
help bear our increasing tax burden.
This brings up another phase of
our subject, support of local indus
tries. In Plattsmouth there are sev
eral making things used everyday,
principally the canning factory, bas
ket factory, bakeries, printing office,
greenhouse, flour mill, broom factory
and cigar making. All these not only
pay taxes, like the merchants, but
give employment to many local peo
ple, enabling them to support our
churches, buy homes and become good
and useful citizens. Whenever we use
a product made elsewhere that is
produced here we strike a direct blow
at these industries, preventing their
growth and expansion, while we reap
no benefit ourselves. Another indus
try deserving of our good will, al
though it produces something wo can
not buy outright, is the BREX shops.
The way to help them expand and
employ moro men is for everyone to
ship by rail instead of truck. This
is something for merchants to think
about, although lots of other people
transact some shipping business each
year and could do their bit along this
line. .
Another thing city stores don't
give merchandise away. True, they
advertiso some unusual bargain as
bait" to attract customers, but don't
be fooled, most of their goods are
priced higher than local dealers
charge for the same thing.
Big city merchants, mail order
houses and radio stations have no in
terest in you other than to get your
money. During the past week, with
bank3 closed, Plattsmouth people had
opportunity to learn who their real
friends are... No one with money tied
up was unable to get goods from the
home -stores where they had traded
regularly.
The home merchant Is your friend
and neighbor. He 13 interested in
your progress as ;you should be in
his, and working together you can
do much to make your town a better
place in which to livej
Betty Jo Libershal, 4th Grade, St.
John's School Winner of
Second Prize.
To seo a town prosper and grow,
trade in your own home town.
The outside canvasers and radio
stores do not pay our taxes and build
our town, in fact, every dollar spent
out of town, puts our little town a
step back instead of forward.
We have some fine factories, name
ly "Basket," "Creameries," "Bak
eries," "Honey," "Broom," "Norfolk
Canning," "Cigar," and "Flour
Mills," all of which put out excellent
products both in quality and quan
tity. We must not forget our other mer
chants that handle groceries, meat.
dry goods, coal, etc. They have all
grown up with the town and are
our friends indeed, and . by giving
them our trade help them to meet
their obligations and in return they
aid tho Chamber of Commerce to
bring factories and the needed im
provements to help build the town.
Our own merchants are also solici
tous of our welfare, for instance, if
we haven't cash on hand they are al
ways willing to trust us and give us
credit. Where outside trade demands
cash, and besides, the goods never
prove to be of the quality they were
advertised for.
If you have earned your money in
your home town, spend it there, and

don't be lured by radio advertise
ments and mail order houses. And
when an out-of-town canvaser comes
to your door ask him what he does
to help the town you live in, and if
he answers you truthfully,, which is
doing your town no good, it will be
easy for you to tell him you have no
order for him, but go to the tele
phone and order from one of the
home merchants, and there will be a
feeling of satisfaction that the goods
you ordered will be delivered the
same day, and will be of the highest
quality.
HONOR RUSSELL YORK
Copies of the St. Petersburg,
(Alaska) Press, reaching this city tell
of the deep sorrow that community
has felt in the taking away of Rus
sell York, former Plattsmouth man
and an active and leading citizen of
St. Petersburg tho past fourteen
years.
The funeral service of Mr. York
was held at St. Petersburg on Sun
day, March 12th, being one of the
most largely attended ever held in
that city. It was at the Sons of Nor
way hall and the structure was pack
ed with the citizens of the community
to pay tribute to his memory. The
Elks lodge also participated in the
services. : .
The Press also gave a short sketch
of the life of Mr. York:
"Russell York was born at Watson,
Missouri, November 25, 1885, com
ing to Nebraska in 1902 and in 1909
came westward to the Pacific coast.
He was married to Miss Augusta An
derson in Se'attle in 1911 and left
for Alaska in the following year.
Mr. and Mrs. York first settled at
Douglas and engaged in the laundry
business, later egming to St. Peters
burg wb,ere they" have, since resided
and where they have been very suc
cessful in the conduct of a. laundry.
"Mr. York served several terms in
the city council of St. Petersburg and
was. also a memher of the volunteer
fire department. .
"lie is survived by the widow, his
father, J. C. York of Omaha, Ne
braska, two brothers, Jess of Omaha
and Don C, of Plattsmouth; three
sisters, Mrs. Bessie Gravett, Omaha,
Mrs. Fred J.' Keltz, L03 Angeles and
Mrs. Charles Jelinek of Lincoln, Ne
braska."

Claims Inhuman
Treatment
City Committee Requests That the
State Make Investigation oi
Highway Work.
Sidney, Neb. The American Le
gion committee on employment here
has asked the department of public
works to investigate reports of al
leged abuses of workmen on the road
gang of Steele & Olinger, now work
ing fifteen miles east of Sidney on
the Lincoln highway.
Tho request follows prosecution
and conviction of William Olinger,
a foreman, on a charge of assault and
battery on "Benton Stahl, teamster.
Olinger was fined $50 and costs in
county court. John Sullivan, chair
man of the committee, said he had
found evidence of inhuman working
conditions.
In Stahl's case Sullivan said:
"stahi had hopn out of work for
more than a year and as a result.
was not able to keep pace with husk
ier men because of inactivity and
lack of proper nourishment during
the last year. There are many men
in this same condition and inasmuch
as these highway jobs are planned
primarily for the relief of men of this
type, we intend to seo that they are
not abused for an inability which is
not their fault.
"These men work thirty hours a
week at thirty cents an hour and
most of them keep families on that.
It is easy to see they can't afford the
proper nourishment for a laboring
man when they only get a maximum
of ?9 per week.
"We have also asked the state to
raise its minimum wage scale to com
pare with Colorado's where fifty and
fifty-five cents per hour are the low
est wages paid. Men can live on that
alary, even tho they get only three
days employment week."
Sullivan has communicated with
Representative Challburg and Sen
ator . Green, and has been assured
they will co-operate with hi3 com
mittee. Sullivan, an ex-soldier and
strong labor advocate, bitterly op
posed the thirty cent wage seal when
it was announced for road jobs. There
are more than "200 of Cheyenne coun
ty's unemployed working at this
wage. . .
THE AKRON
We live in a great ocean filled
with flowing streams.
That bathe our cheeks and
scuttle our dreams,
And go where you will, the .
. engines that drive
Your Akron of thought, through
currents to strive,
Against billows and . tempests
and lightnings that flash,
Over fond hopes you cherish go
down with a crash.
These air currents are giant3
In form.
And man thinks in his heart to
ride the storm.
Tho' disaster comes and tho
world gets a shock,
And your Akron has fallen up
on a huge rock.
Regardless its fate, another will
rise.
And mount In the air and circle
the skies.
In defense of our nation we
think to build new.
One that will stand the. heat,
the rain and the dew,
The defeat of the Akron we
should disclaim,
And to minimize the disaster we
should forever refrain.
As the Akron lifted its daunt
less head,
And faced the storm that tore
it to shred,
So man should rise above this
scene,
And erase this tragedy from off
the screen,
And start out right with the ,
sceptre of Truth,
That guides the old as well as
the youth.
And when some dr.y all nations
shall cease
To build engines of destruction
to bring about peace,
Shall cast their cannons and
swords Into ploughshares,
It will help each other to light
en his cares.
So the Akron of thought shall
k have a domain,
Above the discords of this old
turbulent plain. . "T"
