RED GROSS WORK
IN PLATTSMOUT
This Noble Work Was Given a Start
Friday in Tvwj Meetings, in the
Afternoon and Evening.
I'roni Saturday's Daily.
The Red i'ross work in this city
wa.-; given a start yesterday in two
meetings held at the auditorium of the
public library to promote the organ
ization of a local chapter of this so
ciety fot the relief of the wounded in
waitime and the suffering of mankind.
In the afternoon a meeting for the
ladies was held under the auspices of
the National Surgical Dressings Com
mittee of America, which is actively
engaged in the war relief work and
which supplies a great many of the
base hospitals in France with supplies
for the care of thv wounded of our
allies, as well as the German wounded
who are brought in from the front.
This organization is very active in
the larger cities, and in Omaha there
is a large chapter, that is actively en
gaged in the making of bandages, as
well as the comfort kits that are be
ing presented to each soldier at the
front. Mrs. O. C. Redick of Omaha
and Mrs. J. T. Stewart of Council
Bluffs were present at the meeting
and explained to the ladies av part of
what was expected of the members
of the society in assisting in the care
of the wounded. Mrs. Redick, who
has charge of the work of the prepa
ration of bandages in the Omaha com
mittee, had with her a sample of the
packages used by the surgeons at the
front, and in the preparation of which
the noble women of America are work
ing day and night to relieve the suf
fering of the wounded of friend and
foe. Mrs. Stewart, who has the sup
ervision of the making of the com'
fort kits for the soldiers, pointed out
to the ladies the articles that are
necessary in one of these kits, con
sisting of needle, thread, tooth brush,
paste, vnd other small articles that
will be found a necessity in the care
of clothing and of the person. These
have been dispatched to the front in
large numbers by the members of the
committee. Eoth addresses were lis
tened to with the greatest of interest
by the ladies and a great deal learned
of the woiking of the society. The
formation of a local chapter of the
organization was carried out by the
selection of Mrs. T. P. Livingston as
the chairman, and preparations will
be made to commence the work of
aiding in the relief of the soldiers.
In the evening the Commercial club
met at the auditorium of the library
to take up the work of the formation
of a Red Cross chapter and quite a
large number, both of men and women
were in attendance to learn of what
was desired and to take their part
freely and fully in the cause of hu
manity. President W. A. Robertson
of the Commercial club, stated the
purpose of the meeting and the need
of the Red Cross work in the world

terian church.
Dr. T. P. Livingston, who was in
attendance at the meeting, was asked
by President Robertson to explain a
little of the Red Cross society's work
in peace and war time. Dr. Living
ston stated that the American Red
Cross was ons of the forty-six na
tional societies devoted to the needs
of suffering humanity all over the
world. It knew no race, creed or na
tionality in the work of relief, and on
the battlefields of the world was car
rying on the work of relieving the
suffering and pain of the soldiers of
all the waring nations. The Amer-1
ican society of the Red Cross had es
tablished through the battlefields of
France six of the finest base hospitals
in the world, and at present there
were 3,200 surgeons and 7,000 nurses
in the field looking after the needs of
the suffering. The members of the
society in service were devoted to the
aid of those needing it, and any sum
contributed to the work of the Red
Cross would do the greatest good in
the world. The women of the United
States and all over the world were
doing a great good in the terible war
in providing for the work of mercy,
and there could be nothing greater in
the world than this work.
It was decided that the Plattsmouth
chapter be formed at once, and steps
were taken to perfect the organiza
tion by the election of officers, and the
following were chosen:
President Judge James T. Begley.
Vice President Dr. T. P. Living
ston. Treasurer R. F. Patterson.
Secretary Wrilliam A. Robertson.
After a short discussion of the work
that will be needed from the local as
sociation in the securing of members
the meeting adjourned as the Red
Cross chapter, to meet again on
Thursday evening next, at 8 o'clock
at the library building. The bandage
committee will also meet at the
librarv on Monday afternoon at 3
o'clock.
A treat was given those in attend
ance at the meeting when one of the
O'Brien-Hicks iceless containers was
bi ought forth, and which contained
ice cream, which was served to the
gathering and much enjoyed, and
President Robertson and Mr. R. F.
Patterson, assisted by Mrs. Patterson
and Mrs. T. P. Livingston did the
serving in splendid shape. The ice
cream had been kept all day in the
container without ice and was as hard
as when first placed in the container,
and it certainly was a pleasing test of
the heat and cold proof qualities of
this device. This is the factory that
has been desirous of locating in this
city, and today there are a number
of strong boosters for the Hicks
O'Brien company. The cones used
in serving the cream were also turned
out on the machines invented by L. C.
Sharp of this city.
After the close of the Red Cross
meeting the regular business of the
Commercial club was taken up and
some time spent in discussing the
secretaryship of the club, which posi
tion had been made vacant by the
resignation of Henry A. Schneider. It
was finally decided that the place
should te left vacant at present and
that President William A. Robertson
be empowered to see if some suitable
person could not be secured for the
position.
In the selection of the delegates to
the state convention of Commercla
clubs the following were chosen: E.
H. Wescott, F. M. Bestor. J. P. Falter,
R. F. Patterson. L. C. Sharp. This
meeting will be held in Omaha, May
22-25. in connection with the state
conservation meeting, and every mem
ber of the Commercial club is invitei
to attend the meetings at Omaha at
least one day.
A letter was also read from the
Omaha Machine works relative to the
location of a metallic packing manu
facturing company in this city, and
for which it is desired to have stock
subscriptions of $5,000. The plant
will be run in connection with the
Western Machine and Foundry com
nanv of this city. It was referred to
the committee on new industries for
further action.
The matter of the chautauqua was
discussed and the sale of the tickets
for the event discussed, and the presi
dent stated that the sale of the 400
$2 tickets would be commenced at
once.
BANQUET BY THE
JUNIOR CLASS
Riley Hotel Transformed Into a Spot
of Beauty in Honor of the
Senior Class.
Frm Saturdav's rai!y.
The annual banquet tendered by
the junior class of the high schoo
to their associates of the senior das
was held last evening at the Hote
Riley, when the dining room of th
hotel was transformed into a spot of
rarest beauty for the occasion with
the handsomest of decorations, ar
ranged by the members of the class.
Throughout the room the purple and
white, the colors of the high school,
were in evidence, carried cut in
streamers festooned from the chande
liers and with the windows draped in
these colors, making a scene of much
beauty. On the north wall of the
dining room the '1917" was brought
out very effectively in the decorative
scheme. The table decorations were
pink and white roses, which added
10 the beauty of the room and a fit
ting setting for the pleasant gath
ering. The Holly orchestra was stationed
in the lobby of the hotel and gave a
very pleasant program during the
course of the banquet that proved
a most enjoyable feature of the oc
casion and the numbers selected in
cluded both the standard master
pieces as well as the popular song
hits of the day and were received
with marked approval by a large
number cf young people in attend
ance. The banquet itself was most de
licious and served .under the personal
direction of Miss Ina Sutley was all
I
that possibly could be asked for by
the motx discriminating.
The seniors, the guests of honor,
were welcomed to the banquet board
bv Ludwig Halas, president of the
unior class, in a few well chosen
words of greeting, and was very
gracefully responded to by Glen El-
iott, president of the senior class.
Superintendent W. G. Brooks, of the
lattsmou
auth city schools, was given j seiiously to him. Mr. Stull was en
ject "Sincere Success," and 1 gnged in clipping one of the mules
Mr. Brooks expressed, was j u.;1,j or) the farm, and in doing so

eave their school associations to em

hem.
Miss Elva Mart lord responded to ,
the toast, "Enthusiastic Lnjoyment,' ,
n a very charming manner and was
followed by the senior quartet in a.
musical number that was greatly en-
oyed and received with the heartiest
approval by the auditors and demon
strated the ability of the young
people in the musical line. The sub
ject, Aoule Notoriety, was assigned
to Miss Mary Egenbcrger and was
given in a very pleasing style that,
received the warmest approval of ihe
members of the two classes. Albert
Olson responded to the toast, "Indi
vidual Integrity'' and his add 'ess
was one filled with many pleasing
thoughts to the young people. .Miss
Batrice Seybert, one of the members
of the class of '17, gave one of her
pleasing readings that was much en
joyed.
For the toast "Outright Optimism"
Henry Ilerokl was selected and his
address was bubbling with the blight
things that life held out to the mem
bers of the two classes. "Rightful
Rewards" was responded to by Miss
Elizabeth Beeson and "Seniority' by
Miss .Marion Mauzy, both of which
proved decided hit of the toast list
and were warmly received. The fare
well was spoken by the toastmaster,
Carl Wohifarth. as the midnight
hour drew near and the members of
the classes departed homeward with
