SAW AN AEROPLANE
THIS MORNING
From Wednesday's Pally.
Arthur Jacoby living near Mynard
was a surprised man this morning,
when getting out just as it was get
ting light, to see a large object
passing over Msnard, going towards
Omaha and having a valicity of
from fifty to sixty miles an hour. He
could not seem to discern the peo
ple, but It was large and had a great
spread of wings, and while very
high in the air, was traveling at a
great rate of speed. He says it was
an aeroplane.
From Wednesday's Daily.
Monday evening at the meeting
of the city council Mayor Schneider
brought up the matter of this city
getting in line with the others and
cities of like size and celebrate as
is befitting the birthday of General
John J. Pershing, which occurs on
September 13th. The matter was
discussed -at length, when George
Luschinsky offered a motion which
was seconded by a number at the
same time, empowering the Mayor to
appoint a committee of which he
should be chairman, for the purpose
of perfecting arrangements for the
proper celebrating of the day, and
making it a patriotic occasion, as
was the day when the honor flags
were raised on the court house and
the city hall. The idea is to have
some noted speakers, and all the
civic orders participate, as well, the
Home Guards to take the principle
place in the celebration. Hut few
people know the ability and worth of
General Pershing or with what ex
actness he looks after the boys who
are under him. Nor necessarily per
sonally, but he sees to it that all are
treated just the best possible, and
has everything in hand in that
which will make it possible to reach
each case of mistreatment by the
rules and his usuages which- he has
for the general good. In honoring
this man who is a Xebraskan, we
are showing our faith to all the boys
over there and Nebraska as every
other state have many there. We
are Americans, and as Pershing is
"also a red blooded American, and
with the boys who are also red
blooded Americans, we can do noth
ing less than honor the man who is
fighting for the liberty of the
world. Mr. Schneider will announce
the committee, and a place and
date for their meeting at an early
period, when we all can get a hustle
on us and make this one of ihe great
days which will bring to the minds
of the people the cause for which
we are fighting and our part in this
struggle for the good of humanity.
