Last, Saturday wax indeed a Red
Letter Hay fur Plait smoot h. For
two weeks the. Commercial club
had madw a big effort to have
everyone in Cans county who Is
interested in good roads to come
out and hear I). Ward King of
Missouri tell them the proper way
to make good roads and keep
them good. And to say their ef
forts were greatly rewarded but
half tells the, tale. Long, before
noon fanners, road overseers,
merchants and business men from
Other towns began to arrive in the
City, many coming in on the early
morning trains; others in auto
mobiles, in carriages, buggies and
otherwise, and by 2 o'clock there
was one, of the largest crowds in
Plaltsmouth there has been for a
long time. And they came to hear
the "Hood Iloads" King, too.
The meeting was advertised to
lake place at the Parmele theater,
hut for some reason or other a
change was made to the district
court room in the court house,
and bills announcing this change
were printed and circulated about
noon. The M. W. A. band paraded
up and down Main street a short
lime before the meeting and play
Vd several selections in front of
the court house. While the court
room was filled to its utmost
capacity with people eager to hear
Mr. King, the crowd on the
Streets seemed to not have
vanished in the least. It is a bard
proposition to induce people to go
to the court house for any public
entertainment, and we believe a
great big mistake was made In
removing the meeting from the
Parmele theater, as originally ad
vertised.
. Tin t let this be as it may, those
who were more directly interested
in good roads were there, and
were paid well for their trouble
in coming a long distance to bear
' Mr. King. The sneaker is a
gentleman of pleasing address
and the attention paid to him
demonstrated that those in at
.tendance were them to hear any
suggestion advanced that would
Bid in making good roads in Cass
county. Mr. King (old his nudl
enre many ways in which I bey
could better the condition of the
roadways, but is partial to road
drags, and endeavored to impress
Upon the. minds of his hearer
that the constant use of the same
during the propitious seasons of
(he year, yet at the same lime the
drag wouldn't do it all. Take it, all
in all, Mr. King's address was all
(hat. could possibly be expected.
He demonstrated (o a dead moral
certainly that his suggest ion
were (hose of a gentleman who
had had great experience in road
improvement, and that he is a
practical man in this line of busi
ness. Mr. King is a pleasant
talker and deeply impressed the
people present with the fact that
he knew what he was talking
about, and all went away feeling
that they were well paid for (heir
rouble "f coming many miles to
hear his address.
. There were people here from
nearly every nook and corner of
Cass county. The vicinity of Ne
havvka sent, in a large delegation.
There were eight , or ten auto
mobile loads from Nehawka and
Vicinity, which showed that they(
Wanted to learn all that was pos
sible to know about making roads,
notwithstanding the roadways
(hat lead into Nehawka for mile
in every direction are the best In
any part of Otoe or Cass counties.
Mr. C. C. Parmele deserves con
siderable credit in getting the
large delegation here from Ne
hawka. There were also farmers
here from the vicinities of Weep
ing Water. Louisville, I'nion,
Murray, Hock Muffs, Cedar Creek,
and, in fact, every locality in the
county was represented.
After the meeting the farmer
gathered in squads and discussed
Mr. King's .speech. Many of
(hem thought it was the best they
ever heard on the road question,
while others differed wild-some
of Mr. King's suggestions. This
is natural, for we believe we have
some good road builders in Cass
County. Among them are Uncb
Ben lleckman and George S. Hay
both of whom believe in the road
drag, but they say there i con
siderable work lo do in preparing
(he roads before the drag I put
in use. Hut Mr. King's address
was all that could possible have
JUNIOR GERMAN GLASS
ENJOYS PICNIC AT BRIDGE
Chaperoned by Their Teacher,
Miss Johnson, They Repair to
the Banks of the Missorl.
The members of the, Junior
(ierman class of the High school
wended their way lo tho vicinity
of the Uiirlington bridge, east of
this city, last evening, and enjoy
ed a most delightful outing, as
well as a luncheon in picnic style,
out in the open air. They were
chaperoned by Miss Johnston, and
all report a tine outing.
Upon their arrival on the picnic
grounds an immense camp fire
was made, not for the purpose of
roasting weinies, but merely foi
the sake of having an open fire
and something out of the ordin
ary. A most appetizing picnic
lunch, consisting of sandwiches,
pickles, ice cream, cake, fruit and
candies, was spread on the green
on the banks of the old Missouri
and then all gathered about the
festive lorest table. When the
attack of enormous appetites had
been made on the picnic lunch it
disappeared almost instantly and
soon was nothing but a memory
The remainder of the evening
was delightfully spent in various
outdoor sports. An egg race was
participated in, Wayne Propst be
ing the winner. Other outdoor
'amusements were indulged in and
it was almost 9 o'clock when the
merry Junior Herman class fc
1 timed to (heir homes, having
thoroughly enjoyed (he outing.
The members of the class par
ticipating in Ibis enjoyable out
ing were: Misses Anna Wohl

critically ill for several days, fol
lowing a complication of measles
with pneumonia. A. V. Wollen'9
oldest boy is also suffering from
the same trouble.
C. fi. Hailey started plowing
corn last Monday. Plowing corn
on the 15th of May is a little un
common for this part of the
country, but the stand in this case
is in elegant shape and Mr. Hailey
can well feel proud of it.
Hoy Hoover left Monday for the
west. A card was received from
lim stating that he was in Den
ver, and Jumer Deltman left
Wednesday to join him at that
place. We would infer that the
)oys are bent on seeing a little
of the western country.

a way car in the local shops
(ieorge llrasky had the misfor
tune to gel his left hand badly

and Joe Lahoda bad a way car
jacked up about eighteen inches
when the jacks gave way, the way
car falling on Mr. Ilrashky's hand
catching the second, third am
fourth lingers and ma.shing them
as above stated. It is uncertain
whether one of the lingers will or
will not lie amputated. Mr
Ilrashky came up town as soon as
lie could and Or. Livingston
dressed the injured hand and
will be many days before Mr
Ilrashky can use his hand.

The part you can't see is the
more important. The service you'll

the fit dedends on the tailoring, not
