STORM CRIPPLES TRAFFIC One of the chief sufferers from the high wind and drifting snow of Monday was the bus operators through this area and in fact in all parts of the state. The bus lines operating into this city were late in petting through as conditions made holding to their schedule an impossibility. DESERVING BOOK WEEK This week, throughout the entire United States, is nationally known as Book Week and the Plattsmouth public library, as in previous years, has co-operated whole-heartedly by displaying a number of children's books in the building adjoining the Bates Book & Stationery store.

That's the title Mrs. Henry V'onderheid, Wis consin farm wife, (shown with husband and two children) may now claim. She "had a vision" of a new type of table service, the "balanced place setting," in which the design indicates whether each piece should be set at right or left, and encloses the service plate in a graceful pattern. A large silver concern has accepted the idea enthusiastically, and the Crowell-Collier Industrial Service cites the incident as illustrat ing the reccptiveness of big business to consumers' suggestions.

It was his belief that factory-made cheese couldn't be entirely good, so he repaired the cheese vats in the old barn and turned hit hand toward creating a super grade of limburger. He's up at five, milks his cows, by eight the milk is warming in the vats and by ten a fresh batch has been finished. Then comes an hour of salting, weighing and wrapping. After lunch he travels, selling his product and returns for farm duties. TAILORED FOR TOWN . res v' v. v ' w.-..'.w.- 1.

V"sry WHEN THE GIRLS TAKETO WATER POLO, THE WATER FLIES THICK AND FAST Water polo, which is a combination of swimming, basketball, football, wrestling, Donnybrook Fair and a trip over Niagara Falls, is now being taken up by the girls as an organized sport, following its official recognition by the Amateur Athletic Union as a game for women as well as men.

J. Raising poultry in abandoned garages, apartment house cellars and even in sky-scrapers is how being done in big cities. Chickens (mm inmhation to maturity are housed in small metal cages as sembled in batteries housing 6U to 100 birds per battery. Despite these seemingly unnatural condi tions the chickens are healthier, more contented than in the barn yard. In the photo, Miss Lillian Swenson makes a collection of eggs. As the egg is laid it climbs down to an unbreakable collector immediately in front of each cage. Charts give egg laying record of each bird. ' DISTRICT COUHT OPENS Tuesday momirifc Ju'lL"; W. V.
