PLATTSMOUTH SEMI - WEEKLY JOURNAL

A
awka
"Walter Emjelkemeier was calling
on friends in .Murray last Saturday
night.
Mrs. Mary Kattlehut was a visitor
in Murray last' Saturday and was a
guest of a nunber of her friends
while hero.
W. II.. Porter was a visiter at Syra
cuse, where he was making the pur
chase of some stocl at the community
pale held there every "Wednesday.
Mr. and Mrs. Er.os Plunkett and
Mrs. John Opp wore visiting and
looking after some business matters
at Nebraska City on last Saturday
night.
Mrs. Choye Stoll, of Denver, a sis
ter of Mrs. W. O. Troop, arrived at
the home of her sister late last week,
visiting there over the week end and
then going to Flattsmouth, where
she is visiting for a time.
W. T. Schlichtemeier said that he
lias a few bits of news, but that he
was so busy and had to get back to
the farm to haul water for the stock
he could not take the time to impart
the information to the writer.
George Stine of Union was a busi
ness caller in Nehawka on Monday of
this wcke, having some repairing done
by Clifford Trotter, who is an expert
machinist and capable of doing such
sort of work in splendid manner.
Stewart Rough and his partner,
Dan Anderson, have been compelled
to resort to the water wagon to sup
ply the stock with sufficient water
during these hot days, and not alone
them but many of the farmers over
the country.
Old Man Rheumatiz has gripped
John Opp, the market man and has
caused him to get about only by limp
ing. Still he is able to make it and
look after the business just the same,
although it is far from pleasant feel
ing like he does.
Mrs. Earl Troop and daughter Miss
Avis, as well as Miss Lois Troop were
over to the Graham mill bathing
beach on the Missouri river, south of
"nion, one day last week, where they
ljoyed themselves very much and
3t away from the extreme heat.
"Marion and Mary Lee Young were
fitemling the gathering of the Tri
t'otity 4-H club picnic and camping
penxi which was opened at Cellevue
lastijimday. Their parents accompan
ied fcem and they had a very pleas
ant tme. The Omaha papers have
carriei extensive pic tures of the camp,
showing some of the activities they
are privileged to enjoy.
Mins Yelma AVood, who was mar
ried fonu time since, removing to Lin
coln, where she and her husband have
lived during the past year or so, are
reported as the parents of a very fine
baby girl. Our informer could not re
member the name of the husband, but
those who knew the mother during
her girlhood will know who she is,
and add their congratulations.
Fearing that the game is about
over so far as having hopes of a corn
crop this fall is concerned, many of
the farmers are preparing to cut their
remaining corn stalks for fodder,
however early it may seem, as they
fear that if they wait, the greenness
in them will all be gone and they will
be dried up the same as in the fall.
Still, with rain, which surely must
come soon, the situation should im
prove greatly and the stalks take on
new life, even though they are now
past producing any great yield, re
gardless of how much moisture we
may get in the next few weeks.
place in Iowa, where he is engaged
in farming and stock raising, was a
visitor in Nehawka during the fore
part of this week. Mr. Gill, who re
sided here some thirty-five years ago,
was recalling conditions which were
prevalent then. lie was visiting with
the people who resided here at that
time, especially Olaf Lundberg and
Nels Anderson, both of whom worked
in the stone quarry at that time.
Want More Water
"With eleven test holes now sunk in
an effort to ascertain where an abun
dant supply of water can be had,
and the net result being the finding
of enly one fair water hole, insuffici
ent to supply the new town water
works system, the village board is
still wrestling with this perplexing
question.
The one well which has the most
promise is now claimed, we are ad
vised, by both the water witch and
the professors from the state college,
but they do not need to differ as to
whose advice was the best, for more
water is still needed. Well, here's
hoping. It locks like a good well, if
found during this extreme dry per
iod, will provide a permanent source
cf water supply for the town, while
me located in ordinary or wet times
would undoubtedly dry up some time
when most needed. Keep up the quest,
boys, your rerseverance will surely be
rewarded.

No Reduction
Made in Valuation
of Farm Lands
Case of Fourteen Counties Is Heard
ty the State . Board of
Equalization.
The net result or a hearing Tues
day for fourteen counties by the
state board of equalization, said
State Tax Comimssioner Smith, was
that ther had been no effort toward
a general reduction of the assessed
valuation cf lands in any of the
counties, the increases and decreases
returned being usually the result of
eqalization by county boards ol
values as between precincts, as they
had a right to do. Nance county,
represented at the hearing by F. II.
Van Wormer, was the only county
that attempted to make a flat reduc
tion of 10 percent in land values. It
cut the average per acre from $43.65
to $37.66.
Speaking for himself, Commission
er Smith said he did not know that
the board can do anything about the
$5,500,000 cut in lots in Douglas
county which resulted from the coun
ty board's judgment. Garden coun
ty, called to explain an increase in
lands, and Lincoln county, called to
explain a decrease, were not repre
sented at the hearing. Hamilton
county, showing a small decrease
was represented by I). M. Walker, as
sessor; Stanton by William F. A.
Bayer, assessor, and S. P. Peterson,
county board; Nemaha by Robert
Moody, assessor, showed a cut of $1
an acre; Lancaster county, by J. R.
C. Miller, deputy assessor, showed
by correction of acreage and ether
means an increase of only 74 cents
per acre average valuation; Wash
ington by Charles Nelson, county
commissioner, who said he was un
able to explain how land values were
increased in his county from $79.68
to $82.01 per acre; York county was
represented by John Muir, county
clerk, and C. II. James, county
board.
The state board will take no ac
tion for several days in the work of
equalizing lands as between coun
ties. Smith said the slight reduc
tion in the assessed valuation of all
property in the state will not inter
fere with a reduction of the state
levy which was 2.39 mills last year.
The state board finds a deficit of
80,000 acres of land from reports of
Garden and Nance counties. In 1938
Garden county reported 9S9.592
acres for taxation; this year 926,374
acres a discrepancy of about 63,
000 acres. No official of the coun
ty was present to offer explanations
and Smith said the board would have
to use its own judgment. As a re
suit of the decrease in acreage, the
average value per acre in the county
was $6.24 this year compared with
$5.51 last.
Nance county had a 16,000 acre
discrepancy in its report for the two
years. Its value per acre this year
was $37. GS against $43.65 in 1933.
TO ENJOY CAMPING TEL?
Charles and Guy Bestor departed
Saturday for the west on a pleasure
trip that will take them into the
cooler regions of the mountains. They
are making the trip by auto and ex
pect to spend the time camping when
they reach a cooler climate where
they can enjoy the outing more fully
than in the heat of Nebraska. They
are planning on fishing a great deal
of the time they are on the trip,
seeking the game fish in the moun
tain streams.

LIFE SAVING INSTRUCTION
IS PROVING VERY POPULAR
The popularity of the swimming
and life saving instruction course be
ing provided at Louisville this week,
under direction of Mr. Cheseneau,
life saving instructor, for the Cass
County Chapter, American Red Cross,
is best attested by the statement that
there were 29 boys enrolled in Jun
ior Life Saving class the opening day,
Monday, and other classes were work
ing. It is also pleasing to note, in a
report from Miss Augusta Robb, of
Union, county chairman, that this
free service will be continued at oth
er pools in the county. The Merritt
pool, north of Plattsmouth, on Hiway
75, will be serviced this coming
week. Watch for schedule.
The efforts of the Red Cross along
this line are solely in the interest of
reducing the number of deaths from
drowning and all who wish to do so
may avail themselves of this free in
struction. Whether you are ever call
ed upon to rescue anyone' frbm'drowri
ing, this instruction will make you a
much better swimmer and teach you
the new fast stroke3 that are used by
experts and swimming instructors to
day. Also it would be mighty fine
to know the proper method of resus
citation if you were ever confronted
with the task of helping revive a
drowning person. It is fine that this
service can be provided without cost
for the bathers of this county.
