The main contact for the instal lation of the Water Works for the ; city of Greenwood has been complet i ed and it is awaiting for theaceep- s j tance of the city of the plant. In ithe testing a mistake was made and j a gate left closed, which augmented jthe pressure and a repair of a sleeve was the result, which had to be re J placed. There was an electric light J placed on the very apex of the tower J which is 108 feet from the ground. The light was seen by people just coming out of Lincoln and will be a Distributor V -:- ; NEBRASKA light to tell where the best city of eastern Nebraska is. Watch the light and be guided by it to an excellent town in which to trade. Some Good Chickens.

The Barber Shop. The East Barber shop, which has now been closed for the past two weeks, still remains in the same con dition, there is now two men in the other shop but they do not seen to be making much progress at this time. Had a Good Time. The reception which the Odd Fel lows gave their wives and sweet hearts last Monday evening was sure ly enjoyed by all that were present. The boys were not as god cooks as they thought they were but the girls helped them out nicely and they sure ly had a lot of god things to eat and a fine time. Surprises His Wife. Last Tuesday, Rex. Peters, the pop ular grain dealer surprised his good wife with a company of friends in the evening who came to spend the evening in honor of her birthday, and made a very pleasant gathering the evening being spent in social conversation and cards at which all were more less expert. A very de lightful luncheon was served and all in departing extended the wish that Mrs. Peters might enjoy many more such happy occasions. Many Applying for Water Service Last Friday, when we were in Greenwood, we found the water serv ice a very popular thing. There were nineteen applications already made for installation and more than can be gotten in for some time. Greenwood School Notes. The Boy's Athletic Association was reorganized last week and the fol lowing officers installed: Ivan r - , it.- : I w 1 T,o'L- hage, vice-president. Lawrence White sec-treas. The Association is cnarg ing the small amount of twenty-five cents to all pupils and fifty cents to adults who wish to attend the entire schedule of baseball games played here this fall. This is necessary in order to meet expenses. Help the boys by coming out and seeing them play. It will be appreciated. The first high school ball game of the season was easily won by our boys last Friday when they defeated the Murdock aggregation on the lo cal diamond to the tune of 15 to 1. Greenwod has, perhaps, the strongest team this year in the history of the scnool and should make a splendid showfng this fall. It will be remem bered that she only lost one game last spring and that in a 10 inning contest, with Elmwood. who she later defeated twice. The lineup Friday Whlto 3h! Sfhiiflkp.

The high school was dismissed at 10:30 Friday out of respect to Mr. Hoenshell, the entire high school at tending the funeral in a body.- - ! Both Lilian Schulling and DeAlton: Fulmer are absent this week on ac,-. fount of illness. T j The various classes met this week electing the following officers; Sen iors, Norman Peters, president; Ivan Schuelke, vice president; Bernice Schuelke. sec; Harvey Olsen, trea6.; Mr. Worley Sponser.

Gladys Olsen, vice-Pres., Miss Clark, Sponser. Bernice Schuelke was absent Tues day on account of sickness while sev eral of the pupils were tardy on ac count of the slippery roads. We understand that the reason Paul Schmidt was not at school Tues day was because he could not get his car started. How about that "fliver" when it really gets cold, Paul?. Thursday morning the dignified seniors were horrified by discovering an effigy of themselves at the top of the flag pole. Suspicioning the Sophs, the Seniors presented the dummy amid the shedding of "much tears" to the president of the Sophomores dur ing the opening exercises. Later, the seniors recovered their mascot and burned him but the Sophomores de claring their innocense procured an other and, soaking it in kerosene, publicly cremated it at the top of the pole during fire drill that evening. Thus endeth the close of a "perfect" day. The Atkisson Co., of Kansas City took the various school pictures Thursday. The physical tests were started in the school Friday. CUSTER MASSACRE RE-ENACTED Chamberlain, S. D., Sept. 24. A band of soldiers surrounded by how ling Indians fought until they died in a natural amphitheater on the west side of the Missouri here Wed nesday while thousands of persons looked on and thus Custer's last stand was re-enacted as it took place on June 25. 1875. The revival of the battle scene of l.alf a century ago was one of the features s-tjged in connection with the dedication of the latest addition to the five-bridge program of South Dakota across the Missouri river. Officials in charge of the dedica tion estimated that nearly 35,000 persons were here, among them crowds of Indians off the reserva tions who sat almost breathless as the thrilling battle scenes of the Sioux massacre of the whites was re vived. Have you anything to buy or sell? Then tell the world about it through the Journal Want Ad column. r .1 The new King: of Trails Bridge across the Platte River will soon be open for travel. We desire at this time to inform the Public as to the future ownership of the Bridge. A corporation was formed to finance this Bridge. This corpora tion by unanimous vote has authorized its officers to turn over this Bridge to the Counties of Sarpy and Cass, and the State of Nebraska, whenever requested to do so. A resolution is on file with the State High way Department to this effect. The Commissioners of Sarpy and Cass have passed a resolution asking the State to take over this Bridge. Since the plans and specifi cations used for this Bridge were approved by the Federal-State Engi neers and since construction has been under their supervision, there is no question about the State accepting the completed Bridge. The law provides for an appraisal of the Bridge by the State Rail way Commission. The State will pay its half in cash and the Counties will operate the Bridge for tolls till the balance of the cost is raised, when the Bridge will be opened free to the Public. Therefore, every dollar of tolls paid the new Bridge will make it free that much sooner. The District Court has set the rates the same as in effect heretofore. PATRONIZE YOUR OlfiJN BRIDGE COMMISSIONERS OF KING OF TRAILS CASS COUNTY H. Gorder, Chairman. C. F. Harris C. D. Spangler LANSDOWNE WAS OVERRULED BY THE NAVYPROBE FINDS Commander of Ill-Fated Shenandoah Sought Delay For Better Land ing Facilities in West. Lakehurst, N. J., Sept. 24. Disap proving a recommendation of the now dead commanding officer, Lieut. Commander Zachary Landsdowne, that the western ight of the airship Shenandoah be deferred until the sec ond week in September, the navy de partment ordered that the craft leave Lakehurst on September 2 to visit state fairs at Columbus, Des Moines, Minneapolis, Milwaukee and Detroit. This was disclosed by confidential records of the department read Wed nesday before the naval court of in quiry sitting here by Capt. George W. Steele, Jr., commandant of the Lakehurst naval air station. In his letter objecting to the earlier date for beginning the fatal flight, Commander Lansdowne made no mention of probable unfavorable weather conditions, predicating his recommenadtion solely on the ground of limited time for preparations for receiving, refueling and regasing the Shenandoah at Scott Field, 111., and Detroit. Mooring Mast Completed It was developed, however, by Capt. Paul Foley, judge advocate, that the department letter failing to approve the recommendation was written only after it had definite in formation that the receiving mast had been completed and tested. At the time Comander Lansdowne made his recommendation the mast was in complete. Questioned by the court. Captain Steele said he had observed on the weather chart forecast just before the Shenandoah sailed no disturb ance, which, in his judgment, the airship could not pass or avoid. There was no inquiry as to whether the storm in which the Shenandoah was wrecked with the loss of 14 of its crew, was charted. Frequent Inspections Under long cross-examination. Cap. tain Steele said that there had been frequent inspections of all the ma terials in the Shenandoah and that there had come to his knowledge no the BRIDGE COMPANY By. Its Directors H. A. Schneider, President. J. B. Root, Vice President. Frank M. Bestor, Treasurer. Searl S. Davis, Secretary. Thomas C. Byrne W. B. Cheek R. A. Troop Information as to its condition which might have led him to disapprove of its departure for the west. Paying his tribute to the dead commander, Captain Steele said, Mr. Lansdowne was "a very capable and careful handler of airships," and ex pressed the belief that . he had handled situations with the Shenan doah "in no way dierent from the very best Zeppelin practice." As a preliminary to the examina tion of Captain Steele, the court de veloped for the record that Com mander Lansdowne was charged with complete responsibility for the ship at all times. The main purpose of this line of examination is to fix where blame for the loss of the ship, if any there be, is to lie. The sheaf of confidential docu ments which Captain Steele laid be fore the court disclosed an almost ever-recurring difference of opinion between the bureau of operations and Commander Lansdowne regarding the western flight in which the great ship came to its end. As early as last June, Commander Lansdowne outlined in a letter the difficulties attending a western flight and suggesting landing facilities at several places. OIL ON THE UPGRADE, SAYS N. Y. PROFESSOR New York, Sept. 24. The oil in dustry is in considerably better con dition than it was at this time a year ago, Dr. Ernest R. Lilley of New York university declared Wednesday night in his opening lecture to the executives" class in the Wall Street division. He added that 'from the standpoint of the future the raosi encouraging thing about the indus try in America during the last year was the absence of sensational devel opments in production." "While the actual effects of the strike in the anthracite industry up on the fuel oil trade are not likely to be marked because of the ease with which soft coal may be substituted for hard coal in industrial plants and because of the cost of installing domestic oil burners," Dr. Lilley said, "the oil trade will naturally benefit somewhat."

Thomas Heflin, democrat, of Alabama, a member ot the senate agricultural committee, vigorously attacked the cotton re port of the crop estimating board at Washington in a statement issued at his home here Thursday. , ' The statement said in part: '. "The crop estimating board, stands discredited. The adding of 200,000 bales, when rapid and widespread de terioration of cotton in two-thirds of the cotton belt justified the deduction of more than 500,000 bales from the estimate ot two weeks ago, recalls the Holmes and Hyde scandal of 20 years ago, when they, as members of crop estimating board at Wash ington, added 22.000 bales for spec ulators at New York, for which they were paid $40,000. THOMAS WALLING ABOUT SAME From Saturday's Dally There was very little difference re ported in the condition of Thomas Walling this morning, the patient having rested comparatively easy yesterday afternoon and last night and while he is still in a very serious condition, the family and the attend ing physicians are pleased that he has been able to withstand the at tacks of neuralgia so well. 0 0 fcw sfeiews MWtwMdMMSHenviEHrc ins
