Displaying a great interest in boys, he gath ered unto himself several In his immediate neighborhood and explained in details a good pin money racket all boys have worked sometime in their life, trapping. Unknown to their parents, things were working out beau tifully for these kids under the supervision of our friend. First night's venture netted a 'possum and two bucks apiece for each boy. Then disaster stepped in. An early morning round of the traps came up with another 'possum, with a second catch pulling the trap deep in his ' hole." A tug on the chain and out came a little black animal with white stripes down his back cutting loose with all the ammu nition at his disposal. Th hnvs heat a hastv retreat. but the damage had been done. The air in northeast Plitts mouth has yet to clear. Moth ers disowned children with screams that rent the heavens. Clothes were buried, engage ments cancelled and air-wicks appeared by the dozen. Boys of this neighborhood lost a helpful friend. He has gone where all good men wind up the dog house.

One of the flags was on Main between 5th and Gth street, the other on 6th street between Main and First Avenue. Corn Delivered Monday; Boxes Net Over $150 (Continued from Page 1) while solicitation was being made there. The local chairman was an xiously waiting for all of the corn to be delivered today so that actual value of his "pet nroicct" could be determined. Estimates had nlaced the corn at from 600 to 1.0U0 bushels. County returns too should be available within a short time. Approximate amounts from the many county towns are being received, but a total of the county-wide drive will not be ready until all county towns have reported. Plattsmouth's contribution is still not avail able. Contributions from local groups and organizations as well as individuals, has been considered uood in the county.
