MAY RUN SALOONS ON .
A "BOOZELESS PLAN"
New York, May 22. Commander
Evangeline Booth of the Salvation
army announced tonight that all
funds obtained in the roganizat ion's
"home service" drive will be used
to expand Salvation army facilities
and strengthen its personnel for a
practical effort to "nail the great
unrest" which is sweeping the eoun
try in the wake of the war.
Salvaging of saloons to bp run on
the "boozeless plan" as clubs for
workfngmen is but an incident of
the general plan, which contem
plates giving quick, substantial aid
to families found to be suffering be
cause of evictions, hunger and idleness.
WIRE CONTROL BOARD
PROPOSES TRIBUNAL TO
HEAR WAGE DISPUTES
rejection of the whole treaty and
the proposing of a new one. Sena
tor Pittman was a member of the
foreign relations committee in the
last senate and probably will retain
his place when the committee is
reorganized.
The treaty itself provides that
when ratified by Germany and three
of the allied powers, it shall go in
to effect. The United States will
then have to accept political, eco
nomic and commercial isolation or
petition to become a member of the
existing league of nations. In the
latter case, we would lose our pres
ent powerful position as a charter
member of the council which has a
dominating influence upon all of the
acts of the league."
Washington. May 22. Recom
mendations of the wire bontrol
board that legislation returning the
telephone and telegraph systems of
the country to private ownership'
provide co-ordinated operation of
the various systems and fixing of
rates by the Interstate Commerce
commission were forwarded today
by Postmaster General Burleson to
the house postoffice committee.
The wire board's recommenda
tions also include creation of a tri
bunal to hear all controversies be
tween employers and employes and
that changes in wage schedules
shall not become effective until sub
mitted to the Interstate Commerce
commission so that coresponding
changes may be made in rates.

Telephone No. 1 Platttmouth, Neb.
With Supt. G. E. DeWolf Acting as
Toastmaster High School
Teachers Present.4
From Saturday's Pally.
School spirit ran high last even
ing when nearly a hundred guests
gathered around the banquet tables
at the M. W. A. hall, with the jun
iorsas hosts to the senior class of
the Plattsniouth high school and the
members of the faculty. Few ban
quets have surpassed this one in
elaborateness.
The happy occasion is one of the
most delightful of the numerous pre
commencement events each year and
this one amidst pleasing music by
Myles Altman's orchestra, flowers,
sweet girl graduates in pretty even
ing dresses and a program of toasts
that was excellent, will be particu
larly remembered.
Class yells, songs, many practical
jokes and good ones too, all added to
the merriment of the evening and
fostered the class spirit admirably.
Class colors and flowers were ev
erywhere in evidence until the bare
walls of the M. W. A., hall were
transformed into a veritable fairy
land. Special favours of yellow
roses were laid at the plates of the
seniors.
In the scheme of decoration which
was ably supervised by Flarley Beck
er, junior class president, the junior
colors, purple and gfdd. predominat
ed, although there was no lack of
senior colors, red and white. The
tables, arranged in the form of a
crosu, had been prettily uecorateu ny
the ladies of St. Luke's Episcopal
church, who had charge of serving
the banquet, using an abundance of
white Spinea and purple and gold
iris.
A large American flag draped one
of the walls, the high school service
flag with its many stars another and
banks of flowers lettered to read
1919" and "1920" together with
hanging baskets of beautifully color
ed flowers graced other parts of the
Interior of the room.
The banquet was served in four
courses, and was all that one could
wish, being replete from a culinary
standpoint. It was served in a most
pleasing manner by the ladies of St.
Luke's church who proved they know
well the secret of appeasing: the hu
man appetite. Through the courtesy
of" II. M. Soennichsen. the ladies
were supplied free of charge with a
sufficient quantity of Unico coffee to
provide the "Cafe Xoir."
Music between the courses was
furnished by courtesy of Myles Alt-
man's orchestra, their selections in
cluding "Tears." "Stars and Stripes"
and "Beautiful Ohio." This was one
of the pleasing features of the even
ing.
The program. aside from the
toasts, included a duet. "Like the
Lark." that was very good, a read
ing by Miss Una Crook, which was
enjoyed by all; a piano solo, "Mili
tary Polonaise," by Genevieve Whe
lan that brought forth round, after
round of applause and a violin solo
"Serenade," by Robert Kroehler to
piano accumpaniment by Miss Helen
Roberts, in which the two instru
ments blended In such perfect Viar
mony that It seemed as though the
operation was that of but a single
mind.
Following this came the program
of toasts. Supt. G. E. DeWolf of the
city schools acting as toastmaster.
The first speaker on the program was
Ilarley Becker, president of the Jun
ior class who addressed himself to
the subject, "Welcome to the Sen
iors." This was followed by a re
sponse by the president of the senior
class. Ilarley Cecil, who thanked
the juniors for their kind words and
wishes. The addresses of both these
young men were exceptionally good
and there was reflected In each the
usual amount of keen wit and bright
repartee. Miss Lucile Bryan follow
ed wjth an excellent address, "The
Seniors Will," ami in this demon
strated an ability to keep up a vein
of mirth as well as look upon the
more serious side of life.
iooiung to the future, Marion
Duxbury, who was last on the toaot
program, had chosen for his theme,
"Advance." and like the one who in
life has his aim, he pointed out nu
I hot crying for, and bade all who are
leaving school this year to consider
well the needs of the world and en
deavor to serve them.
Besides the regular numbers on
the Drogram of toasts there were
short addresses by Mason Wescott,
sophomore representative, on the in
teresting subject of "Perpetual Mo
tion." and by Carl Wurl, freshman
reDresentative. Miss Edith Wood-
burn, principal of the high school
and one of the competent members
of the teaching force, spoke from the
standpoint of the faculty, giving out
some Kood advice to pupils anil in
structors alike.
Carl Wohlfarth, who has been
away since before the time he was
to have graduated last year, and
who could not be present at that
time on account of being ready to
go overseas in the army, was asked
to make an address, which he did,
giving a short history of his experi
ence from the time of his enlistment,
through the various training camps
and overseas, up to and including
his return and subsequent discharge
at Camp Dodge a short time ago.
Mr. Wohlfarth has the honor of
being the only student to receive a
diplonta of graduation from the local
schools without having completed
the senior year's work in its entir
ety, his enlistment in the army some
time last spring having precluded
continuance of his studies during
the closing weeks of the semester.
Truly this first of several pre
connnencement events that are to
follow was most successful and a
great deal of the praise is due to
Miss Elsie Hoberg. history instruc
tor and junior class sponsor and to
Ilarley Becker, class president, both
of whom labored untiringly toward
the attained end.
WELL KNOWN UNION

says that another year will roll
around pretty fast at that.
