G. Meisinger, one of the most highly respected residents of Cass county and a member of one of the best known families of this section of the county. The death of Mr. Meisinger comes as a double shock to the members of his family circle as the wife and mother passed away ten weeks ago to the day and in a coincident her death also occurred at 10:30 on Sat urday, September 29th, and five weeks ago the sister of Mr. Meisinger Mrs. Kate Heil passed away and the successive deaths have been very trying on the members of the family The funeral of Mr. Meisinger was held this afternoon at 2 o'clock from the Eight Mile Grove Evangelical church and the interment made be side the wife in the Eight Mile Grove cemetery. George G. Meisinger was born in Tazewell county, Illinois, near the town of Pekin, October 20, 1859, and at the time of his death was just past his sixty-fifth year. lie was brought by his parents, when a child of twelve years to Cass county where his lifetime has since been spent as one of the citizens engaged in the making of this great and prosperous community and which he has lived to rear his family to manhood and womanhood. After coming to Cass county and reaching manhood's estate Mr. Meisinger later returned to the place of his birth in Illinois and there near the old home on De cember 27. 18S3. was united in mar riage to Miss Alice Stoehr. Return ing to Nebraska, the young people entered on the long and hauDv mar ried life that was to be terminated only by the summoning of the wife and mother. Five children were born to this marriage, one of whom preceded the ' parents in death and surviving there remain two sons and two daughters, Clarence and Elmer II. Meisinger, Mrs. William Hirz and Mrs. Albert Cotner. all of whom are residents of this community. Mr. Meisinger is also survived by one sister and five brothers. Mrs. Effie Dreeson of Douglas, Nebraska; John B. Meisinger of Lincoln; C. A. Meisinger, of Gretna; W. G. Mei singer, L. A. Meisinger and Philip M. Meisinger of this county. In their loss the members of the family will have the deep sympathy of a large circle of friends. The increasing interest shown by the farmers of the state in the bet terment of dairy stock and the tend ency to give more attention to dairy ing on the farms has been bringing to the Agricultural College at Lin coln a great many requests for plans and suggestions for dairy barn con struction.

Mr. Clarence is eighty-eight years of age and has been quite poor ly for some time and his family and friends have little hope of his recovery. NEW DAUGHTER ARRIVES From Tuesday's Daily Today marks the sixth, annivers ary of one of the greatest events in the world's history, tuat of tne sign ing of the armistice between the al lied nations and the German empire and which brought to a close a trag edy of a five years war that had all but destroyed Europe and affected the whole world with the flames of war. Here in the United States there was little to really remind one of the fact that the great war was raging save in the homes of families where omeone had responded to the call of the colors and especially in the homes of some of the 75,000 who had paid the terrific cost of war with heir lives that peace might come. Through the good fortune of our na- ion the torch of war had not been pressed on the shores of America and here were no ruined cities, destroy- d homes and suffering war orphans is existed in poor bleeding b ranee and Belgium. The demonstration as staged here orally was intense in its enthusiasm and the residents here had the ad vantage of two celebrations as they had a false alarm on November 7th to celebrate as well as the real event on the morning of the 11th of No vember. The demonstration started here at 3 o'clock in the morning and ; continued through the day and into the night with the streets filled . with cheering joy-mad people rejoic- i ing over the conclusion of the great ' war and the coming of the dawn of peace. All work was forgotten forifc:- the day, the Burlington shops and,(0 the sioros all closing and joining in O the great demonstration. Great and enthusiastic as the demonstration was in the United States it did not begin to jtell the story of the feeling experienced by the long suffering people of Europe when the yoke of war was at last lifted from their shoulders and the ' bloody struggle that had caused the Meuse and Oise to flow with the blood of the flower of youth of the : old world nations had ceased to be. j To the embattled soldiers of the. rations it seemed strange when sud denly at 11 o'clock there was the! sudden dying down of the crash of r . i - - . . - - ' .v ' '-v. v. L 1 A I r I 11 VI' 111 . that there was no more of the de- j f t Ptruction and it was several Biinutes before it could be realized that this was true and that the war was over. Soon former foes were raising their heads from the improvised trenches and shelters and breathing once more the air cf peace and without danger of being a target of the bul let of their enemy. In the cities of France the occa sion was- one of the most unchecked gayety and rejoicing although the homes were saddened by the fact that 6,000.000 of the flower of France's young manhood would nev er return or bear the marks until their death of the ravages of war. For the first time since the fateful days of August, 1914, there were lights blazing in the homes, the dan ger of air raids having passed and in the public squares, the well known Place de Republic, that exists in ev ery French city, large or small, huge bonfires were blazing in token of the day of days, the coming of a victor ious peace that was to be observed over the whole world as a time of rejoicing. Nationally, the United States may be proud of the record of its troops made in that great struggle for world freedom and universal peace This nation entered the war on April 6, 1917, and the force of the Ameri can troops broke the morale of the greatest military machine on earth and routed from the soil of France the enemy that had laid there for more than four years and blasted by Did You Get Your Can of Tomatoes Free 1 Del Monte Peaches, No. 2y2 1 Del Monte Pears, No. 2y2 1 Del Monte Pineapple, No. 2i2 1 Del Monte Tomatoes, No. 2i2 SI.25 FREE El Food Salad Dressing Demonstration The only certified dressing; on the market.

YOUtlG, Uanagor force of arms the way to the victor ious peace of November 11th. De spite the intensive submarine war fare that had been carried on since 1915, the United States landed in France and had ready for service on November 11th. 1,993.000 troops and had not lost a convoy on the way across the waters of the At lantic. American force and energy drove the Germans from the St. Mihiel sector and from the heavily fortified Argonne region of France in a record breaking time and with t-nergy and true fighting spirit gave the enemy no opportunity of digging in but pursued them to the historic town of Sedan where the first dawn of the glory of militarism had been born and which saw the final note of the falling military power. Thru sentimental reasons the French troops entered the town where they had seen the fall of their nation in 1871, but American arms had de livered the city to them. On this day the nation over the men and women who nv .service in the world war are drawn closer to each other they again can vision the thousands of their comrades who will come no more but with their great war president, Woodrow Wil son, are gathered to the last long rest, and those who are here can live again the day of days when peace came to the world on the eastern frontier of France. years of age and is one of the clever est of druggists as well as a fine citizen.
