INTERESTING LETTER FROM
CHARLES DOVEY M THE NAVY
July 18, 1917.
Dear Mr. Bates I get the Journal
regularly and through that source
learn much of what is happening in
Plattsmouth. Not only do I get en
joyment from your paper, but the
boys all like to read the news from
the home town of one of their ship
mates. I see where a iad wrote to the
Journal from the naval training sta
tion, and of course that is fine, but
the life on the ship is ten fold better
than that at the training station. I
wish the censor would permit me to
tell you my duties aboard.' but that
will have to be dene later, as soon as
the war is over.
I can just say the navy is fine, and
there are many opportunities for a
man to learn much; also for a man
to serve his country and do his bit
in upholding the standards of "Old
Glory," and to help overcome all those
whor oppose Uncle Sam. so as a
gentle hint from on? who knows the
navy is the real life for ore patriotic
enough to serve his country.
Yours truly,
CHARLES S. DOVEY.

AT THE PICTURE THEATER
From Friday's Daily.
With the advancement in other
things, let us not overlook the im-
provements which have recently been
made in the picture shows, both with
regard to the Air Dome and the
picture theater uptown. One cannot
help but notice the tasty appearance
which the recent decorations have
added to the front of the Gem thea-
ter at the entrance of the show room,
While at the rear, the building has
been enlarged, and extended to the
ally, making the theater building
now 140. feet deep. Stages have been
added in the rear for players, and the
seating capacity has been greatly en-
larged so that it i? possible to seat
about twice as many as formerly,
The show-going public should aopre-
ciate this added converter ce, which
has onlv rnmp about hv tho ovnendi-
ture of considerable sums of money.

son Samuel Windham, who is located

Contest Between the Home Team and
Beselins, of Omaha, Resulted in
a Score of 5 to 1, in Favor
of the Visitors.
Baseball! Yes; that is, we were at
the game yesterday; made our first
attempt at reporting a game. jWe
walked down, paid our two bits, took
a seat in the top row of the amphi
theatre, and those there told us to go
down to the corner and some one
would tell us what to do. We dropped
down and got the names of both
teams and we were given over for in
struction to Bubbins Martin, who is
the mascot for the Red Sox krfows
more about the game in one minute
than we have learned in fifty-eight
years.
He instructed us and the game be
gan v.itn the visitor?, the Uesehns, at
bat. Stitt could not find the ball when
Hay of the Red Sox tossed it up to
Pete Herold, and he had to go
sit clown. He was followed by Stacy,
who as able to find first. Atkinson
trotted around the circle, while Les
mond got as far as third, when Young
hew out and our hoys tried the bat.
Salsburg struck at something in the
air three times and missed it. Smith,
who played on first base, got that for
but did not get away, while Herold
and Edwards followed Salsburg, who
rover touched the ball. In the see-
or.d Richter was credited with one run,
and the other boys failed to get back
to the home plate. When our boys
'came to bat Hav and Grassman got
around to third, where they could
view tne home base, out to get tr.eie
wv.s rtfuscxl them bv the visitors. In
the third Atkinson struck out. and
Lesmond tallied, making the score
read three for the visitors, but, do you
know thev wuuld not let our boys have
ny. They allowed Smith and Sals-
berg to run around to third but no
farther. Then the game was stopped
for about five minutes while we lis
tened to an oratorical contest, and a
number of the congregation went
home. Then the game was on again,
and the Red Sox shut out the visitors
with three successive strike-outs cred
ited Stacy, Atkinson and Lesmond.
The compliment was returned when
the other half of the fifth came by
striking out Rhoades, Salsberg and
Smith. In the sixth Supernois, the
pitcher for the visitors, got a tally,
and one, two. three, out went Stitt,
Stacy and Atkinson because they did
not understand what Hay, the Red
Sox pitcher, had up his sleeve.
This placed the visitors to the good
with. lour runs anu i ii:u.-..iiujiii
none.
Then Grassman, Pavlec and Mc
Carthy had it slipped over on them.
Things were not looking the best and
the visitors were not given anything
;-rVl- ulinn 1 .mnnil
more ui:m m. .
tallied again, making rive runs, wnn
I nothing for the home boys. Hei-old
and Hay, by a combination, made a
single run, which looked big to us.
Herold by placing the ball down by
Corv's pasture fence, got around to
I second, and Hay, who is an athlete,
backed up and took a jump for it and
did the same thing Herold had done,
and how Pete did run. He seemed to
be about three feet over the grouna
and got home before anyone got in
his way. Then the visitors sent Ed-
wa rds, Grassman ana laviec to oo-
livion and the game was over, witn
the vistiors the victors and noisy ana
cur boys hot and hnppy. Following is

WORK OF LOCAL RED
GROSS ASSOCIATION
From Friday's Daily.
We would like to call the attention
of every lady in our city to the fact
that the rooms in the Coronado apart
ment house, reserved for the Ameri
can Surgical Dressing Association
are open each day. Every woman is
urged to call at a time convenient for
herself, look over the samples and
select what kind of work she would
like to do. Some of it may be taken
home, while, of course, much of it
must be done in the assembly room,
such as bandage rolling and compress
folding. Mrs. George Dodge has
charge of the knitted articles socks,
washcloths, eye binders, chin straps,
etc., and will be more than glad to
show samples to any one who wishes
to knit, and teach them how if neces
sary. The women residing in the
country are especially urged to take
some knitting home as it may be in
convenient for them to spend much
time at the rooms. Mrs. Dodge's
telephone number is 167-W, and she
will furnish yarn, cotton and ma
terials for knitting, and all informa
tion to anyone who wishes it. The
regular meeting days are Monday
and Thursday afternoons. Each Red
Cross membership sold in next week's
campaign will help to buy gauze cot
ton, and outing flannel for the work
of the Surgical Dressing Association.
We beg each woman to give some
little time through the week to this
cause.
