omn vol. no. xxxvm PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, MONDAY, JUNE 4, 1923. NO. 94 MEMORIAL DAY IS FILLED WITH TENDER THOTS I HUNDREDS VISIT CEMETERIES OF CITY TO DECORATE, GRAVES OF DEAD. From Thursday's Dally. Yesterday, for the first time in several years, Memorial day passed without the usual downpour that generally marks this date in Nebras ka, altho the heavy rain of the day previous made the dirt roads to the cemeteries west of the city quite muddy, but by the middle of the forenoon a large part of the mud had been packed down and permitted travel with ease over the roads. Cars bearing hundreds of the resi dents and former residents of the city visited Oak Hill and the Catho lic cemeteries during the day and bearing the floral tributes of loving friends and relatives to lay on the graves of their departed and by noon the cemetery was a blaze of color from the myriad flowers of all shades and hues. The Grand Army and Women's Re lief Corps held their usual services and grave decorating at the cemetery at 10 o'clock and which was followed at 2:30 by the memorial services in the high school auditorium, which, however, were not as largely attend ed as had been hoped for, many find ing the walk up the hill too severe for them. The meeting was presided over by William G. Kieck, world war veteran, and a short and very interesting program was enjoyed. Owing to the short time allowed in arranging the rrogram it was impos sible to secure a speaker to deliver the customary address and this was filled with a very pleasing program offered by a number of the talented residents of this city. The invocation was offered by the Rev. F. E. Pfoutz of the First Methodist church, while Rev. H. Kottich. pastor of the St. Paul's Evangelical church offered the benediction for the"fead&im. -.Mr. Johu Bergo, who ha J Just recently arrived here, offered a-ry pleasing part of the program with a cornet j -solo of the patriotic gongs of civil war days. Thomas W. Glenn, one of the old civil war veterans, gave "The Sink ing of the Cumberland" as a read ing and which was very graphic in every way. , The roll of honor was read by A. H. Duxbury, of those who have served and passed on to their ast rest, of the soldiers and sailors of the wars of the nation and who now; sleep in this community. Miss Mable Lee Copenhaver, one of the gifted young women of the city, gave a most appropriate vocal number, "The Laddies Who Fought and Won." which was the tribute of the noted Scot, Harry Lauder, to the me n of the world war and which was ' very charminglv given by the singer. Mrs. William Baird gave the read - ing. "The Unknown." which was Trnm t 1 1 o tipti nr h.nirp '.Mnnn. i mh i poet, and its beautiful and patriotic i motoring to that city and stealing a Falls City. j. M.

Residents along the federal high way in the vicinity of the Cole and Spangler farms, just south of the city, sent in a nurry can to bnerin Quinton yesterday afternoon, stating that a strange appearing man was seen in that vicinity and that he had the highway blocked with his car. The sheriff hastened out and rounded up the party in question, who gave his name as Thomas Veach and his home as Burke, South Da kota, and to the sheriff he explain ed his situation. The man had with him a Ford roadster to which had been grafted an ice cream box that could be used to dispense the frozen dainty to customers, but in this case the ice cream container as well as the car were both dry and the only cargo on hand was a sack of pea nuts. Mr. Veach stated that he had been selling a few peanuts along the road to different people, but that all of his finaces had gone into the pur chase of gas and oil for the car and that finally both the gas and the coin ran out and left him up against it. The man had evidently been drink ing some as well as adding to his other troubles and to relieve the fears of the residents along the road he brought the man. in and lodged him in the county bastile to recup erate from the effects of his liquid diet as well as his fast as the man claimed he had not had a square meal for three days. After a conference at the court house this morning Mr. Veach de cided to offer his car for sale to en able him to secure funds enough to get on his way. He will remain here until the car is disposed of and the sheriff will act as the host of the young man during his stay. ! STOLE MARCH OH FRIENDS; MARRIED AT NEBRASKA CITY Frm Thursday's rafly.

Moist warm weather would accelerate fly development and harvest, and might make possi ble some injury by a possible second brood, or a lot harvest might give the fly a little more time to ? work, but the chances of injury by another brood thi3 spring are not great. On the other hand, most of the injured fields are weakened sufficiently that unfavorable weather between now and harvest would greatly intensify the effects of the fly attack. In the last field examined a few chinch bugs were observed in the wheat. . BYRON H. SWENK. State Entomologist. ON HONEYMOON HERE Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hardin of T.nlrf Worth.

PICNIC AT KENOSHA The close of the school year at the Kenosha school was made a very pleasant occasion by the; teacher. Miss Genevieve Goodman, and the young people who have been attend ing the school there this year. The manner of observing the close of the school year was in a fine picnic at the grove of A. J. McN'att and for the entire day a most delightful time prevailed and the young peo ple spent the time playing games of all kinds and at the dinner hour a sumptious repast was served that aided in making the event one of the rarest pleasure. The patrons of the school regret very much to see Jtliss Goodman leave their locality as she has made many warm friends during her stay in that community and it is with a real sorrow that they part with her services as she has had the greatest of success in the school work there. In regard to the Kenosha picnicB it is announced that there will be another big visiting Fourth of July picnic held at the McNatt grove on that date and to which everyone is invited to be in attendance. They had a similar event last year and this year it i3 hoped to even surpass the past record.
