the women's auxiliary of the church j
and its helpfulness in the extending
of the mission work of the church so ;
that it was one of the strongest and 1
most active of the church organiza-',
lions in the spreading of the Chris

er touched on many personal expe-
where the church has carried on its
i work
. Miss Sprague has long been a fa
miliar figure in the work of the
church schools in the state and her
address was verj' much enjoyed as
she pointed out the need for the
greater expansion of the church
school activities in the training and
teaching of the young who are a
part of the church and in whom the
church finds their future strength
and power.

Last evening as Officer Joe Liber-
shal was coming on duty he received
a hasty call to South Fifth street
where a family battle was in progress
and was called by the wife who
claimed to have received the worst
of the affray.
The police when arriving at the
scene of action found that the war
fare had subsided but were shown
sundry and divers marks and bruises
that the wife claimed to have re
ceived in the encounter and in per
son she resembled one of the Prus
sian guard after the late quarrel in
1918.
The officer in compliance with the
request of the wife, arrested the hus
band and took him to the city bastile
to await the settlement of the case
and the matter was this morning

MEMBERS SHOW
OFF FOR PUBLIC
Business Men Entertain at Games
and Exercises for the Benefit
of Parent-Teachers' Ass'n.
From Friday's Dally
Last evening the high school gym
rang and rang again with- the cries
of the excited members of the Busi
ness Men's Athletic club as they bat
fled in several volley ball games for
the benefit of the Parent-Teachers'
ospociation of the Central building
of the city schools.
The large number who wended
their way up the high school hill
were more than repaid for their ef
forts In the excellent entertainment
afforded.
The opening of the program was
when the members of the club in re
sponse to the snappy command of
William G. Kieck, instructor of the
class, fell into their places and start
ed the exercises that are a part of
their weekly toil and by means of
which they keep themselves fit and
retHin their youthful forms and fig
ures. The volley ball games were the
crowning features of the evening and
the members of the club, divided in
to rival teams, made the spectators
cheer and thrill as they battled the
ball back and forth over the net and
it was very close in all of the con
tests before the final scores were tal
lied. The players demonstrated that
weight and girth of waist are no
handicaps in this game and the
heavyweights were there and over
in boosting the ball over the net for
scores on their opponents.
As a result of the benefit, the as
sociation will realize a neat sum and
which will be devoted to the activi
ties of the Parent-Teachers' associa

Aged Man Claiming Sioux City as
His Heme Reaches Here on
Journey to Arkansas.
From Friday's Tjuliy
This morning an aged man, giving
! his name as S. E. WT.ittiker and his
home as Sioux City, Iowa, arrived
cago avenue at an early hour this
morning and they very charitably j
allowed him to warm up and gavel
him food but in turn the man be-
cane-attached '4o the nome and it
was with difficulty that he could be
persuaded to leave, and for a time it
seemed as though he would become
a regular star boarder at the home.

of Plattsmouth last evening as the

The man was taken to the court

the officials, it was decided to pro

than having the man remain here
