New Prosperity Gives Job* to 1,300 Persons. Plattsmouth, Neh.--Here's the original "prosperity town." Not a roan In the city out of 'work. Everybody on regular pay rolls. Welfare board disbanded, llelief office abandoned. Reemployment office closed and the man- >r left .town. Not a vacant house or apartment in town. Everybody happy. Six months ago there was a different story. At that time the toWrr was In the doldrums. Hundreds out of work. When the re-employment office was opened 1.300 applied for jobs. ) On the eharitv rolls were 125 families in a. town of 4,000 population. Plattsmouth used to be a good business town. The Burlington railroad maintained machine shops here and employed between 400 and 500 men. But times got bad. The shops were removed, a department at a time, andconsolidated with the company's shops at •L.incol'o, leaving Plattsmouth shops, nothing but a lot «ot vacant buildings. At the Some time, many of the shop workmen moved to Lincoln, where they Continued working in the -new shops at that place. ' ; Buildings No Longer Vacant. Those vacant buildings are vacant; no longer. All are occupied. And jijst about as many men are employed as the railroad used to keep busy. The Refrigerator Express company,, with 173 employees, occupies a portion of the buildings. A packing company with 75 workmen occupies a couple. Several other smaller manufacturing plants are utilizing the remaining buildings. * Highway paving started the trek back to prosperity ,for Plattsmouth. • Then folloived works on the Missouri river to make that stream navigable and to protect the banks on either side. With those two projects as starters other businesses have responded until today nothing hut business prosperity can be discovered around Plattsmouth. On the road work there are several hundred men employed, all from Plattsmouth and elsewhere in the county. On the river work there are 300 men working every day and drawing pay every Saturday night. All but 25 of these 300 men are from this county and this city and all of them are spending their wages in the town. Six Quarries Being Worked. To supply the immense quantitiesuf" crushed stone necessary in the river.; work and also on the highway paving project six rack quarries have been opened in the county. Two of these are new quarries. The four others had been closed on account of lack of orders for stone. The four old quarries employ 200 men. The two new ones each employ 50 men and as soon as they get well started will increase the number of men at work. But In these six quarries more than 300 men are working. Huge quantities of sand and gravel are required on both projects. Sand and gravel pits along the Platte river which had beea closed for months have been reopened. They provide employment for many men. The sand and gravel must be moved in trucks from the pits to the works. Employment for mtfny trucks and truck drivers is provided In this manner. The restoration to a pay roll of all these hundreds of men has increased the buying power In Plattsmoqth tremendously. As a result different merchants have added new clerks, offices have added additional typists and stenographers, all along the line there Is re-employment. All the vacant houses have been reoccupled, families *vhich had "doubled up" to save rent and fuel have moved back by themselves. Every man on the list of 1,300 who were unemployed has found a job. Every name on the charity rolls has been crossed out except where there was sickness or disability. ladr^Day, WARREN Willi AM MAY ID®SON GUY KJME&- SK! ' • 1 £ A * r o • V A N J , [ M f r W !

Which was so. for Judge Blake always played suckers for high slakes--and never lost. No one could remember when Judge Blake had been beaten In billiards. He made a good living at it. "But you don't get it. Judge." said Shakespeare softly "The Dude said not to take no' for an answer And you know as well aa me that guys what'say no' to Dave the Dude often have bad luck." ""Yes.

The Dude had acquainted the Judge with the plan, but when he mentioned that the Judge was to be Apple Annie's husband. Bfake almost collapsed. "Npw. listen, Dude--this is asking too much. Much too much. A mere apple vendor! Practically a mendicant! After all. I have my self-respect." He stopped as a voice said, "Good evening." VThere she Is now." said the Dude. "There who is?" Blake looked surprised. "Apple Annie!" Annie walked over to th* group. Blake was oVer-awed by -the impressive- looking grand dame before him. "The Judge." said the Dude, "just Said how glad he was to be your ever-loving husband." Annie was charming as she said. "Thank you. I'm deeply flattered." ' Blake took her hand. "The pleasure.

"I remember Annie when she used to be dressed up like that all the time." < And then Louise was on the dock. Annie, tears streaming from her eyes, hugged and kissed her beautiful daughter; then Count and Carlos were introduced. A reporter started towards them, but Happy and his two henchmen took care of that. The newspaperman was soori dispatched to a far-away spot In the Dude's car with Shakespeare driving. and then, deposited where the grass was green and the trees talL The detectives, too. sensing some* thing wrong, walked quickly towards the group. But their atten* tion was diverted, for a fist fight had broken out on the pier and a curious, milling throng had gathered around. The fight was between the two swarthy-faced men who had been with Happy Happjt walked over to the Judg*' "The car Is ready, sir." The Judge was unhurried. 'Thank you. my good man--thanlc you." Happy scowled and whispered, "Amscray! A couple ullbays." . The Judge paled for a moment, then turned to the group. "Folks, I think we'd better get going." The detectives were still..trying to push through the mob around the fighters. For three days the Count and hla son were entertained solely with riding--motoring.

That's a good idea?' He looked up suddenly. "WTiat do yuu mean--reception?" The Count smiled. 'We're having a reception for the folks day after tomorrow. The night • their boat returns to Spain." The Dude's jaw set, but he managed to get out. "Well, we)l--fen't that just dandy" The Judge's foot fidgeted. "You're quite surprised, aren't you, brother David?" "Yeah." "I knew you would be.

Now that a son has been born to them, the one hundred million Japanese point proudly to the fact that he Is to be the one hundred $nd twin-. ty-fifth mikado. „ ' ; The birth of the tnture mlfuulo, ""however, suggests Severn! intensely interesting questkfns. What conditions of International relntiops will he face when he assumes the relgg of power? How efficient will be his defensive iwarfare? Will his na*y control 'tee Pacific? How much additional territory will Japan possess If her deputation continues to increase at the present rate? She will need terr®&ry larger In area than by any possible stretch of the Imagination coor<T be acquired.

Stranger things than tlfeae have happened In , the rise and'fall of nations. , Moreover, will there be * Japan when the new ruler reaches his majority? A silly question? Not q,ttfte so.
