court house was closed and the ofli- -cers. deputies and clerks in all d;partments of the county government forsook their accustomed tasksand hied themselves to the countvfair at Weeping Water, enjoying themany interesting sights of the greutcounty exposition.

being Plattsmouth day at the fair,the residents here in large numbersgathered to assist in the big celebration of the closing of the mostsuccessful county fair.

Henry Guth-man- n

Retiresfrom Banking

Prominent in Banking Circles HIHealth Forces Retirement from

Bank at Murdock.

A most important change in thebusiness life of Murdock took placeWednesday of this week when theinterests of Henry Guthmann andwife in the Bank of Murdock weretaken over by Mr. Frank Martin ofOmaha. Mr. Martin is the wealthyOmaha business man who for so manyyears used to be in the mercantilebusiness at Murdock under the nameof Martin & Tool.

The bank will be officered in thefuture by the following gentlemen:Mr. Frank Martin, president; Mr.Carl D. Ganz of Alvo, vice president,and our old friend Henry A. Tool,cashier; with Miss Mary Isabell Toolas the efficient assistant and bookkeeper. It Is the intention of havingone of the Tool sons (Kenneth, perhaps) come in a little later to be assistant cashier, when he can severhis relations with his present workwith the state banking department..

It was some seven years ago thatMr. Guthmann suffered a double mas-toid, brought about by the grippe.This operation left him in ill healthwhich he has been unable to over-come; he has tried specialists every-where in an endeavor to regain hishealth, but their verdict is that hemust seek change of occupation andclimate and with this end in view hehas disposed of his banking interestsand will go west, his immediate des-tination being Boise, Idaho.

It is needless to say that this com-munity will greatly miss this es-

timable family, and they can be as-

sured that they leave with the bestwishes of all.

PLATTERS HAVE WORKOUT

The Plattsmouth high school foot-ball squad motored over to PacificJunction Wednesday afternoon toengage the team of that place in apractice game, giving both teams theadvantage of a little pre-seas- on ex-perience before they open their regular schedule.

The blue and white squad is notonly the largest in years but is alsoone of the best that has been seenon the local field and bids fair tomake a real record for themselves inthe coming season of play.

The veterans of the team showedtheir skill against the Iowa playersand their speed and skill allowedthem an easy victory in the practicetryout, altho the Pacific Junctionteam is one of the best that thisschool has had for several years andthe contest was no walkaway forthe blue and white.

ball and Platter ticket drive beingstaged at the high school this week.an all school convocation programwas held this morning. The arrangement of the program was under thedirection of the senior class withPaul Iverson, president and MissBieghly, sponsor. The program wasvery enthusiastically received by thestudent body and sets a high standard for the future programs of theyear. It also demonstrated againthat there is a wealth of talent inthe student body for school programs

President Paul Iverson introducedGertrude Vallery who acted as master of ceremonies in a pleasing andclever manner which added much totho presentation of the talent. Thenew Plattsmouth high school bandwas introduced as the first number:This is a new organization in highschool, organized this year with B. E.Woodward as director. The band pre-sented three numbers, "Strong ArmMarch," a waltz "Azure Skies," anda stirring march, "The Hosts ofFreedom." The student body gener-ously applauded this new organiza-tion and know that it will add muchto the pep at football and basketballgames. Mr. Woodward has directedthe orchestra for the past few yearsbut this year will devote his full timeto the band' with Miss Williams hav-ing charge of the orchestra.

The Boys Glee club which singstoday at the county fair was heardin two numbers, the popular "Bellsof St. Marys" and "The Open Road."From the talent shown thus far, theBoys Glee club should be a splendidorganization this year.

The third feature of the programwas a highly amusing clever skitpresented by James Begley and JeanHayes. These popular young peopleentertained the audience with a scenefrom a park bench in any large park.

Miss Williams, new music supervisor, was heard by the students forthe first time in two beautiful solonumbers, "In the Garden of MyHeart" and "Little Boy Blue." MissWilliams' voice certainly made a hitwith the high school students.

To add another touch of humorto the hour, Gertrude Valleryf masterof ceremonies, and James Graves,freshman comedian, amused the aud-ience with a rapid fire exchange ofwords wherein James endeavored toget a story across the footlights.

As a splendid conclusion to a won-

derful program, Margaret Shellen-barger, to whom the student bodynever tires of hearing, sang two numbers and was called back for a third.She sang "You Brought a New Kindof Love to Me," "When the Sun Callsthe Lark," and "Ro - Ro - RolinAlong." Miss Baird accompanied.

There isonly one way to successfully do awaywith the crime situation, and thatis to pursue the same principles thatwere pursued in the elimination ofyellow fever in the Panarae CanalZone. Destroy the "crime nests" inthe metropolitan cities. If thebreeding places of crime were wipedout then crime waves will disappear,and bank robberies will cease.

'If the Nebraska Bankers Association and their big business patronswill demand that the Metropolitanpress of Omaha and Lincoln turn thepress batteries on the underworld ofOmaha and Lincoln the breedingplaces and hiding places for crimewill rapidly disappear.

If the Nebraska and Iowa Bankers Association win put it up tothe American Bankers Associationto institute such a crusade in everycity in the land having a populationof one hundred thousand against theunderworld, in twelve months thesources of crime and bank robberieswould be wiped out. ;
