Summons, recently convicted In federal court on the eluirKe of robbing the Kearney postofflce of $".I00, has had sentence postponed until Monday morn ins at 10 o'clock. 1I was to have been sentenced Thursday morning, but the serious Illness of the wife of Hanker Gar rison of Kearney, who was to liavo be come bondsman on Sammons' appeal, prevented Mr. Garrison from appearing In court to eiitn the bond. The maximum penalty for the crime Is a prison term not exceeding five years, or a fine not exceeding $-,001, or both. Sammons Is a lieutenant colonel In the Nebraska National Guard, and was sheriff of Buffalo county for three terms. The stolen money has never been recov ered. The convicted man was denied a new trial last week. Delbert Smith, who confessed to having given his postofflce keys and safe com binations to Sammons, was to have bean urralpncd this morning on a charge of conspiracy to rob a postofflce, after Mam mons' sentence. However, bis attorney, X. J. McDonald of Kearney, will make bis argument In the matter Friday morn ing, but Smith w ill not be arraigned until after the Sammons case Is entirely dis- j posed of and Is out of the jurisdiction; of the federal district court. It la understood that Smith will plead guilty and throw himself on the mercy of the couit. ' Itiilston. though smalt, has detei niiio-d to be mighty.

The moving genius of this project if Milton C. Powell, president of the Omaha Furniture Manufacturing com pany, whose plants are In Ralston. "Our bleu Is to develop a community life entirely along rational lines." says Mr. Powell. "We feel, of course, that Halston has a good future, otherwise we would not attempt what we arc doing We propose the community center aa a ;jlacc where all interests will have equal representation schools, churches, the town board, clubs, societies, lodges. Young Men's an I Young Women's Chris tian associations and all public and quasi-public enterprises of a worthy character. "One of our chief alms Is a vocational system of training without providing a building with expensive equipment. As a substitute we propose to have the young folks go Into our homes, stores and fac tories and there get their training. For example, certain homes will be selected where girls may go and put In, say an hour a day, at uctual housework under a wife and mother. The girl will get paid, but not by the woman of the home. The community bears all the expense, which Is nominal, and the girl will get her pay from the community.
