Flynn presiding. Following the reading of the min utes and treasurer's report, the dele gates to the district convention to be held in Plattsmouth: March 31 to April 2. Inclusive, were elected, as follows: Mrs. P. J. Flynn, Mrs. L. L Turpin and Miss Mae Murphy, with Mrs. A. J. Beeson and Mrs. Luke Wiles as alternates. Following adjournment of the bus iness session, Mrs. Robert Reed ren dered two pleasing piano numbers. In the absence of Mrs. Chase, pro gram leader, Mrs. Flynn introduced Prof. Joseph O. Masters as the speak er for the evening. In his excellent address on Americanization, he gave a totally different view than that us ually taken. Instead of only Amer icanizing the foreigner, he said - we must Americanize ourselves, make of ourselves better citizens and that it would be through education that this could be done. Not education of the mind and body alone, but of our finer, Inner and spiritual nature as well. Spiritual education does not consist merely of form or dogma, but must be lived and breathed in true relig ion in the home. One very pointed remark in his address was that he envied that citizen who knows just how he would settle all his political proDiems ten years, or twenty, years or forty years from now, if he were still alive, as new peoples and new problems must ever confront us in the coming years. Also, if We are to have true democracy (as we claim we wish to have) we must get away from that small feeling of superior ity of those who may have a little more of worldly goods or a little higher position than the other fellow. Following the close of the address, "America" was sung by those pres ent. Those who did not attend the meet ing In the evening at the church, or the talk given at the High school auditorium in the afternoon on Nel hardt's new, epic, "The Song of the Indian Wars," missed two wonderful and enlightening addresses. It seems pitiful that when efforts are made to bring good subjects and splendid speakers before the public without a cent of cost to them, they do not take advantage of their opportunity and only a small number greet the speaker as on last Friday evening.

Bracken Visits Lincoln After Trip to South America; Looks For Better Conditions. From Wednesday's Dally Vice President E. P. Bracken of the Burlington railroad, spent most of the day in Lincoln looking over company property on a regular in spection trip that will include the Colorado, Wyoming and northwest ern Nebraska lines of the road. Dur ing the day he inspected the plans and location for the new stock yards plant, other work being done at the Lincoln terminal and took a trip to the Havelock shops. Mr. Bracken was accompanied by Mrs. Bracken and General Manager Flynn of Omaha. Mr. Bracken has recently returned from a trip to South America via the Panama canal. He went for a re creation and sightseeing trip and was much gratified at the evidences seen in the south of industrial ex pansion and business growth. There is a real business revival in the southern states, and he hopes that it will soon reach the north. "We are hoping for a part of the expansion and , business growth to reach Burlington territory. We are eager for a good crop and a growth of business during the coming year, but I wonder if we haven't set our sights too high when I look back over Nebraska business 3'ears and roalize that the volume we are doing now would have been considered mighty good in some other years. We ?re hoping, however, for a greater business and continued growth. "The Burlington is spending some money m improvements that will make it possible to handle a greater business at a less average cost. So much money can be spent in that way that it is hard to get money for anything that will not show imme diate returns in revenue or reduc tion of transportation cost." ir.

Tha case seems to have started from a sudden heart attack and was most severe for some time.
