Way to Man's
Heart is Still
Thru Stomach
- Men may be fickle, and men may
be romantic, but the real way to a
man's heart continues to be thru his
stomach, just as it was in Grand
mother's day. At least Mary Ogden
believes this is true, and we have no
reason to doubt her word, since this
paper published her wedding an
nouncement just one year ago.
"It was a simple matter, really,"
says Mary. "I knew 'My Man the
minute I saw him, and I deliberately
started out to get him. Brother help
ed by asking Tom over for dinner,
and then I let VICTOR FLOUR do the
rest. When I saw Tom reach for the
fourth slice of my bread, made from
VICTOR FLOUR, I knew it wouldn't
take long, for no man can resist such
delicious baking results. Now, I joke
with Tom about his weakness for
Victor Flour baking, but you can be
assured I'm not taking any chances
by changing. Besides, it's really
cheaper, because I get more loaves
per sack of Victor Flour, it stays
moist longer, and I need never worry
about baking failures."
Victor Flour is made by The Crete
Mills, Crete, Nebraska, millers of Vic
tor Flour since 1869. In Plattsmouth
you can buy Victor Flour at all bet
ter grocers.
MAZE WAGE INCREASE
The Ash Grove cement company
employees at Louisville, were pleased
to read this week the news that the
company in support of the New Deal
and confidence in the future was
making a wage increase. The com
pany in the past year had made re
ductions in force and wages but now
in the face of the steady advance of
the country from the depression are
going Jo do their part by advancing
wages of the plant employees and
those engaged in the quarry work at
Louisville.
This is a matter that has brought
a great deal of pleasure to the resi
dents of Louisville and will mean a
great deal to the .workers at the
cement plant.

Weeding Out of -Many
Employes
in Departments
Payrolls in Various Departments Be
ing Lightened as Heads Drop
Off in Economy Drive.
Washington The administration's
economy program already has re
moved more than 4,000 government
employes from the payrolls and nun
dreds more face imminent dismissal.
This was shown in a survey of the
departments which so far have com
pleted their retrenchment plans
Just what the final total will be
no one would estimate. On the other
hand, hundreds of workers are be
ing taken on by the emergency agen
cies set up by congress to root out
tho depression; Dismissed employes
are hopeful President Roosevelt will
decide that they are the ones to be
chosen for the new positions. No
word has como from the white house,
but the agricultural adjustment ad
ministration has announced that so
far as possible civil service lists will
be used in building up its staff.
lhe largest reductions in person
nel have been made by the prohibi
tion bureau, which let out 1,300 en
listed men and 140 warrant officers
of the coast guard. The administra
tion's plan is to spend 1 billion dol
lars less this .fiscal year in running
the government plant. Among those
being dropped from the service to
keep expenses down are employes of
thirty years or more service, married
persons whose husbands or wives also
hold government positions, and those
who worked in bureaus being abolish
ed or consolidated. Salaries of all
employes, high and low, have been
cut 15 percent, and indications are
that this reduction will be continued
until Jan-.l at., least. The slash was
based on living costs.
These are some of the personnel
reductions made so far: State depart
ment, 395; justice (including pro
hibition bureau) 1,635; treasury, 2,
950; commerce, 626; interior, 97;
navy, 600; agriculture, 656. Further
cuts are in prospect in some of these
departments. Dismissal plans of the
postoffice, agriculture and commerce
departments are not complete. Ap
proximately 300 workers in the bu
reau of agricultural economics have
been given an indefinite furlough.
The interstate commerce commis
sion has given a ninety-day furlough
to 613 employes, with the under
standing that as many as possible
will be taken back if some means are
found. The navy also is considering
whether to dismiss 4,700 ship yards
employes. Every effort is being made
by the war department to retain its
entire personnel thru the application
of a rotative furlough system. No
definite decision has been reached.
The labor department has let only
four go, but many others probably
will go when , the naturalization and
immigration bureaus are consoli
dated, probably in August. Among
the independent offices the federal
trade commission has dismissed 47,
the tariff commission, 17, and the
radio commission 10. State Journal.
TO FINISH RIVER CHANNEL
Omaha. Authorization of the ex
penditure of $50,000,000 out of the
federal river and harbor fund for

tion six-foot channel project to Sioux
City, employing 25,000 men, will be
forthcoming from President Roose
velt within the next few days, former
Governor Weaver said here. He has
just returned from Washington
where he has been for the past nine
weeks on behalf of the project.
Plans are complete, he said, and
work should beerin within thirty

1 will s'bon open for the production
of stone and stripping of the dirt
has been going on for some time and
the stone is now uncovered so that

started and pushed so as to deliver
large quantities of stone. With this
there will be more need for work and
will provide employment for those
who are needing it.
Still Getting Out Stone.
The Ole Olsen stone quarry is still
going after the proposition of get
ting out stone for the sugar factories
and this is giving employment to a
number of people and thus assisting
in the return of prosperity. All of
these propositions which employ
numbers of i men are to be encour
aged.

Bank Statement
Shows the Return
of Better Times
Plattsmouth State Bank in Quarterly
Report Reflects Fine Gain in
Business Increase.
The return or confidence and the
improvements of conditions in gen
eral in the nation and particularly
in the farming areas of the west is
shown in the report of the Platts
mouth State bank which was Issued
today by the bank officers.
The bank at the last report showed
their total to be $672,000 while in
the new report this has grown to
$701,000 or an increase since the last
report of some $29,000, which is a
fine indication that the conditions
are looking up in this part of the
country.
The most striking indication of tho
change for the better is the fact that
the deposits in the bank have showu
a growth of $66,000 since the pre
vious statement, which indicates that
the supply of money in the commun
ity is growing and that it is being
placed in the channels of activity.
The previous statement showed that
the deposits were $536,943.05 in the
report of March 3rd, just before the
national moratorium. The report to
day gives the deposits as $602,944.00.
The bank officers are much pleased
as this is the first of the reports to
show the increasing business in the
last five years, as during the de
pression the banks of the nation were
among the sufferers in the loss of de
posits and which has now shown tho
change to increases that protend the
coming of more prosperous times for
all classes of people.
