Insure Today, with It is anticipated that the first wartime Thanksgiving will be cele- hratd mthpr nuietly in Platts mouth. With numerous persons hav ing moved to other communities to take over duties in the war ef fort, with the uncertainty of fu ture conditions, with the boys away from home fighting the foe with all these conditions existing citi zens still aver they have much for which to be thankful. The stores will remain open until noon to take care of last minute shoppers and those who, because they are too busy in these times of stress, must make their purchases when they can tirid time. Markets report that they are re ceiving orders for turkeys, geese, ducks, and chicken, but in most every instance the sales do not equal those of last "Turkey day." That favored holiday fowl, the tur key, will not grace tables any more than other fowl. Although the chicken provides meat generally throughout the year, he will get no day off tomorrow, as many orders have been put in for them. Those who nave relatives living in the city are especially fortunate in their effort to get together for dinner considering the transporta tion problem. Still others who live in nearby towns will take advan tage of the last few day before gasoline rationing and traverse the gasoline rationing and drive the miles to celebrate the day All in all when the whole situa tion is summed up it amounts to the fact that the spirit of the occasion has not been forgotten, but in cele brating as inconspicuously as pos sible most persons show that at last they have come to realize we have a war on our hands.

Duties Of Price And Ration Board Are Fast Growing Eationing Of Coffee Adding to the Heavy Burdens of the Members With More In Prospect Find Fine Horses No More Whipping Cream INSURANCE" AND BONDS PHONfr 16 Plattsmouth Office Over Soennichsen's Store The Plattsmouth Creamery this morning received notice that from now on the sale of whipping cream was to be a thing of the past, like many of the( choicer articles in the household larder. The sale of cof fee cream is to be permitted, the creamery was informed but unless you have the whipping cream on hand for the Thanksgiving pumpkin pie, you will have to take it straight or have to hit the "black markets." This morning Mr. and Mrs. Wil liam Sitzman, residing on West Pearl street, were rather startled on arising to find some six fine Belgian and Percheron horses and a mule in their alfalfa patch near the house. The animals were large and very beautiful, and Mr. Sitz man started to call farmers near the city to learn if there were horses missing. Finally Sheriff Mra sek was called and identified the horses as from the stable of Elbert Wiles, south of the city. The owner was notified and hastened to the Sitzman place and secured the tame and placid horses, who willingly followed their, owner on home. The animals had made their way from the farm out onto the Missouri Pa cific right of way and then on north until they espied the Sitzman alfal fa patch. It is most fortunate that the horses were not hit by trains as they made their way along the tracks. j With the duties of the Cass county Price and Rationing hoard increasing every day now that the government has seen fit to ration coffee and plans to deal out allotments of meat soon, local officials have added a clerk typ ist to the staff.
