cape the rain and hail.
Harry Leesley was a business visi
tor at Ashland last Friday, where he
was delivering some baby chicks and
securing some supplies for his hatch

riattsniouth last Thursday attending
the democratic county convention as
delegate from Greenwood.
Just now, the anvil of S. S. Pet
ersen can be heard playing a merry
tune from early morning until late
at night. Sophas sure likes to work
and is getting plenty to do.
Mr. and Mrs. William Hoffman,
residing southeast of Elmwood, wero
at the Leesley hatchery on Thursday
of last week, getting a few hundred
baby chicks, realizing it is more eco
nomical to purchase than to hatch
the chicks themselves.
W. A. Armstrong, who was chosen

Painting the Water Tank
A crew of painters are painting
the tank of the Greenwood water
works system, thus insuring preser
vation of the same and a better ap
pearance as well.
The Storm Plays a Prank
The heavy dashing rain . of last
Tuesday not only inundated the low
lands, but went up into the higher
grounds to do something unlooked
for. In the field just across the road
from the C. D. Fulmer country home,
a straw stack containing possibly
two or three tons of straw, was in
undated, so rapid was the rainfall,
and carried with the water out of
the field. It was finally halted at
the road near the bridge, which it
! could not go under or over.
We needed the rain badly, and al
though it did a little uncalled-for
gulley washing, it is perhaps best
that we got it, for the ground was
getting terribly dry and spring
planting time at hand.

Washington. Postal officials said
Friday that machinery has been set
up to assure quick payment of bonus
money to veterans who desire to cash
their "baby bonds" after they are
distributed in June.
Following is the procedure out
lined by officials:
A veteran applies for payment of
his bonus certificate in $50 bonds
by sending an application blank with
his fingerprints and other data to
the nearest office of the veterans' ad
ministration.
After it has checked over the ap
plication, the veterans administration
certifies the application to the treas
ury department.
The treasurv department makes
out an order for the proper num
ber of $50 bonds, plus a check to
cover any odd amount. 1 nese are
sent to the federal reserve bank in
the veteran's district.
The federal reserve bank makes
up a bundle for eacn veteran, con
taining as many $50 bonus "baby
bonds" as the veteran is owed, plus
the check to cover the odd amount
On June 15, these packages will
start to move to veterans, thru the
registered letter service of the post
office department. Postmasters have
been instructed to deliver these pack
ages only to the veteran named on
the package, even tho the package
may be addressed in care of an
other person, firm hotel or company,
If the veteran has died or moved out
of the postoffice's jurisdiction, the
package will be returned to the re
serve bank to "await a new claim for
it.
As soon as a veteran receives his
bonds, he may take them to his local
postoffice and apply for cash pay
ment. The local postmaster will for
w ard the bonds to the nearest paying
center, (236 first class postoffices
have been designated as paying cen
ters) and a government check will
be sent from there to the veteran.
If the veteran chooses to hold his
bonds as an investment, he may draw
interest at '3 " percent' a year until
1945. He may, if he chooses, hold
the bonds, drawing interest for
tew years, and then cash them at a
date earlier than 1945. But no inter
est will be paid a veteran who cashes
his bonds before the end of the first
year, and no interest will be paid
after 1945.

New York. April CO Velvet will
go to the beaches this summer and
wool to the ballroom.
For designers, turning the world
of styles topsy turvy for resort fash
ions, have decreed bathing suits in
the new and practical wash velvet
and evening gowns of a sheer wool
which is as pliable as chiffon.
The velvet swim suits are high
lights of the trend toward glamor
ous beach wear.. Others are the
harem beach dreus, voluminous skirts
of fishnet, hair wreaths of flowers to
replace the time-honored bandana
and sun hats and bags in a new pli
able patent leather.
Golden wedding is forecast as the
season's most important high-style
color, others in the order of their
importance being strawberry, plum
berry, raspberry, a deep shade of
turquoise, and a bright scarlet, which
has been named "hibiscus."
Swim Suits Even Briefer
While brevity remains the soul of
chic for swim suits, the separate
. A-'-' .'.:- '
brassiere and trunk outfit has been
replaced by the suit that is "all of
a piece." In the realm of knit suit3,
the careful moulding of the brassiere
top to conform to the natural lines
of the figure is fashion news, as is
the lastex band around the top,
which permits the shoulder straps to
bo dropped by sun-tan seekers. The
redingote beach coat, usually de
veloped in linen, gives ilattering
lines to the figure as do slim suit3
of silk and jersey.
Second only in importance to wool
for evening wear, is the harem skirt-
led dinner dress, which promises to
go to the smartest parties at resorts
during the coming months. These
dresses are usually in . heavy silk
crepe, with a classically tailored
blouse atop the harem skirt. Another
type of evening gown that suggests
the romance of a summer night and
the fragrance of jasmine blooming
beneath the stars, is the "souffle"
chiffon frock," composed of layers of
this material in graduated tones of
a single color. The tailored influ
ence is also evident in the dinner
gown with a shirtwaist blouse of
pleated chiffon and a slim crepe skirt
which suggests trousers.
New Fabrics are Amusing
Sports wear is featured by amus
ing fabrics, prints ranging from
Monte Carlo designs with everything
from a roulette wheel to a royal
flush, to complete alphabets. Even
the daily press has yielded its quota
of inspiration in the "front page"
print, and for the girl who would
read her future in the stars there is
the astrological print, with" the signs
of the zodiac sprawled in vivid hues
across white backgrounds.
Chapeaux have gone democratic
and cast off their crowns this season.
Christened by designers as the "open
air" style, the crownless hat gives
piquant glimpses of its wearer's hair
between crossed band3 of ribbon,
which hold the brim in place. Many
of the smarter sports hats are of
patent leather, with stitched shan
tung also widely in use.
Among accessories expected to
catch the sartorial spotlight for re
sort wear are sports gauntlets with
detachable patent leather cuffs, and
matching bags and shoes in bright
,colored patent leather.
I'l-cm Saturday's Daily:
This morning at the Horton fun
eral home at Seventh and Vine
streets, was held the last rites for
Miss Emma Dellart, a resident of
this city for the past sixteen years,

respect for the friend who had gone

devoted worker in her time here, gave

PRAISES SHERIFF
VISITS IN CITY
From Saturday's Daily:
Edward J. Knabe of near Nehawka,
was in the city today and while here
called at the Journal to renew his
subscription. He reports the rain and
hail storm near Nehawka a few days
ago very heavy and which did some
damage in the hail especially thru-
out that section.
Editor,
Plattsmouth, Ncbr.,
Dear Sir:
I had occasion several days ago,
In company with Sheriff Anderson
of Atchison county, Kansas, to ask
the co-operation of Mr. Sylvester, the
sheriff of Cass county, Nebraska, in
the recovery of some rye stolen in
Atchison county, and sold at Weep
ing Water, Nebraska. Inasmuch as
this happened on the Sabbath and
Mr. Sylvester driving from Platts
mouth to Weeping Water in the rain,
and assisting us in every way pos
sible, I think the citizens of Cass
county, should be congratulated in
their choice of Mr. Gylvester as sher
iff. I think it is only fitting that
pqublic officials that are willing to
co-operate in every way possible,
should at least be commended. I hope
that you can find space in your news
paper. Yours truly,
Win. MANSON,
Lancaster, Kas.
east side there were fourteen sash
as well as the glass to replace. The
replacement of all this glass will en
tail no small expense on the school
district and the churches, and one
which the latter will find it hard to
Lmeet, as the churches are for the
most part struggling along in these
years of depression seeking to raise
enough revenue to keep their doors
oper for services and in no position
to meet an emergency of any sort.
It is certain, however, that some
attempt will have to be made to raise
the money needed to put the build
ing in condition again.
SURPRISED ON BIRTHDAY
A very pleasant surprise party
was given Jack Philipps in honor of
his twentieth birthday at the home
Ladies Aid Held Meeting
The Ladies Aid of the Wabash
church met at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Frank Marshall in Weeping
Water on Wednesday of last week
having a most enjoyable time as well
as considering matters for the good
of the church. Refreshments were
served at the close of the afternoon
meeting.
Freak3 of the Storm
Among the freaks of the storm last
Tuesday was the washing of a straw
stack from the field of Paul Schewe
and Herman Kupke down through the
fields of Herman Schweppe and Gust
vVendt and lodging on the fences of
Gust Wendt's pasture and piling up
on the road running south from Hi-
way number one to Wabash. Also, an
other freak was the removing of the
old tractor which I. C. McCrorey
has placed in the ditch and which in
the deluge of water during the storm
was partially washed into the field
where J. E. Golden now farms.

Mr. Hinds came west to Nebraska
as a young man in 1873, first making
his home at Decatur, Nebr., where
he engaged in farming.
In 1886 he and his young wife
sold their Burt county farm and with"
their two little boys moved to Ban
ner county and took a homestead.
There they endured the hardships of
real pioneers in a new country, liv
ing twenty-five miles from a town
(Kimball) in the days of horse drawn
'.'chicles.
Their home became the stopping
place for the old stage coach between
Gering and Kimball. Settlers were
few, and friends far apart, with
friends very dear. Wild range cattle
then roamed the plains with buffalo
often with these herds.
Mr. Hinds helped to draw up the
plans for the village of Harrisburg
which became their post office and
later the couunty seat.

he continued to live until the death
of his companion.

home with his children, In whose
homes he will be greatly missed.

years as Sunday school superinten

Hinds, Burns, Wyoming; Mr. and
Mrs. Burt Cornelius, of Tekamah,
