"The most remarkable soldier de
veloped by the world war was Mar
shal Foth the 'gray man of Christ'
who led the allied forces to vic
tory," said Senator Ransdell. "On
July 18, 191S, he consecrated the
allied forces to the heart of Jesus,
and that day marked the turning
point in favor of the allies."
Rear Admiral William S. Benson,
the genius who was the efficient head
of the United States navy during the

Capitol Commission Proposes to Give

The capitol commission meeting
in Lincoln Tuesday divulged that it
has a place in view for the state
serate to meet. The senate chamber
is not to be a part of the second
section of the capitol now under con
struction and there has been much
speculation as to where the thirty
three members of the senate and
Lieutenant governor and one or two
spectators should be housed when
the legislature convenes next Janu
ary. The commission expects to house
the senate in the second court room
which is to be a part of section two
of the capitol. The work of construc
tion is now so far advanced that the
commission feels confident the house
of representatives will be finished in
the rough sufficiently to permit the
one hundred members of the house
to meet in the new representative
hall, the floor of which is now be

The second court room which will

Helena, Mont., June 22. His sight
dimming with passing years. Plenty
Coos, picturesque and forceful chief
of the Crow nation, has begun to con
template the summons of the great
spirit.
Seemingly stalwart despite his seventy-eight
years, the nestor of Mon
tana Indian leaders nevertheless be
lieves that the time is approaching
when the eagle feather must pass on
to another.
Plenty Coos has acquired more than
local fame. He it was who was chosen
to represent the American Indians in
the dedication ceremonies at the grave
of the Unknown Soldier. He will
make at least one more public appear
ance as head of the Crow nation at
the semicentennial observance of the
battle of the Little Big Horn, June
24, 1926.
The Crow chieftain did not take
part in this battle, which cost the
lives o? Custer and 212 of his im
mediate command, but his people.,
especially the River Crows, were in
the thick of .the fray. He then was
a dashing young warrior, heading a
party of twenty-eight Sioux and
Cheyennes, attached to the command
of General George Crook. At the bat
tle of the Rosebud, in which Crook
was defeated. Plenty Coos and other
Crow scouts have been credited with
saving the commander from the fate
which befell Custer.
Plenty Coos gained his name thru
the deeds of valor which it signifies.
The word "coos" is an adaptation of
the French word "coups" and the
oid chief has eighty of these to his
credit, each won when he touched a
living enemy with bow or spear before
dispatching him. He w-as, however,
the son of a chief, and was born in
the Crazy mountains near the junc
tion of the Missouri and Musselshell
rivers.
The life of Plenty Coos as a man
of peace Has been no less interest
ing than his record as a warrior. He
has shown himself a leader in each
phase. He was first of the Crows to
take up farming, has been most suc
cessful in cattle raising and has prov
en himself a shrewd man of business.
The old warrior is a devout Catho
lic. He was baptised and confirmed
eight years ago and at his home a
room is reserved for the missionary
fathers on their visits to Pryor. He
is proud of the friendship of the
white man, with whom he has borne
the good will and respect for half a
century. Only once was he suspected
of hostility toward the government
and that suspicion quicklwy was
proven false.

diversions.
The president. Miss Marie E. Kauf
mann, gave a resume of the week end
at Camp Brewster, June 12 and 13
when the Plattsmouth, Wahoo, Fre
mont, Council Bluffs and Lincoln
clubs were guests of the Omaha club.
It was the consensus of opinion that
the Omaha club members were royal
entertainers and the Plattsmouth
delegation will long remember their
pleasant outing.
Next on the program was "A Rev
erie in: Church" presented by "Widow
Dooley," the village gossip, and an
able corps of assistants. The costumes
of Susan Smith, Mandy Tipps, Sally
Snooks, Old Maids, the Preacher's
wife, Fanny Flipup, Patty Pillsbury,
the Tucker twins. Sexton and choir
leader, will not soon be forgotten.
The club songs were entered into
with much vim and after delicious
refreshments contributed by Mes
dames Wills, Pickard and Egenperger
and Miss Gerda Peterson, various
stunts were put on by all present
and at a late hour the company dis
persed. It is hoped that with the opening
of the next club year in September,
many additional members will be
forthcoming to help us in our efforts
to make "Better business women for
a better business world."

Harmony Lacking in Promiting Mis

Cape Cod Purchase.
Washington, June 22. A rocky
road appeared today to be in the
making for the house rivers and har
bors bill, which drew nearer the sen
ate floor with approval by the com
merce committee of the Missouri
river improvement and Cape Cod
canal purchase provision with modi
fications. Chairman Jones expressed
hope that the committee would be
able within two or three days to get
the measure to the senate where it
faces opposition to purchase of the
canal, some dissatisfaction on the
part of Missouri river interests be
cause of the modifications made to
day and bitter opposition from some
senators from states along the great
lakes to the Illinois river improve
ment approved yesterday.
Senator Howell, Nebraska, an
nouncing that he would carry to the
floor his flight against purchase of
the canal for $11,500,000, said that
the committee modification stipula
ting the United States should not
be liable for interest on bonds of
the operating company until the gov
ernment has actual title to the prop
erty did not remove his objection.
The Missouri river project was
modified to authorize appropriation
of $12,000,000 for such improvement
between Kansas City and Sioux City
as would form integral parts of a
comprehensive channel six feet deep,
if it should be deemed advisable to
provide such a cannel in the future.
Senator Williams, republican, Mis
souri, said the modification was not
entirely satisfactory, altho "it was
the best we could do in the commit
tee." Meanwhile great lakes opposition
to the Illinois waterwap was reiter
ated by Senator Willis, republican,
Ohio, who said there seemed to be
many "provisions in this bill, which
should be examined closely." One
project authorized he asserted, is bas
ed upon an engineer's report made
eighteen years ago.

LIVE AT THE CROSSING
That all streets and roads that in
tersect a main highway should be
made stop streets, is the contention of
the Albany, Oregon, Herald-Democrat.
It sajrs:
"If such a practice had been in
force last Sunday it is very likely that
the sad accident in which a baby
lost his life would not have hap
pened." Change the picture to a main line
railroad. Would operating officials
of the railroad permit cars to enter
the main line from spurs, switches
anil hranoh linps without Stopping to
be sure that the track was clear?
The block signals and locked
switches help explain why railroads
that carry millions of passengers an
nually, do so almost without loss of
life.
Another reason, of course, is that
onirinpprs don't, onerate locomotives
until they know how and until their
eyesight and judgment are testea.
There will be no real safety in
motor operation until a master traffic
plan has been adopted and enforced.
If railroad systems did not enforce
every precaution to over-balance the
arpipssnpss of thousands of people,
they would kill thousands annually.
One railroad, the Southern 1'acinc,
fooia that it has nrocrressed so far in
making people safe that it has a right
to sue motorists wno coinue wun us

been thrown in jail, he has become
friends with many of the notorious
characters of the old west, whose
right hand flew to their holster with
the least provocation, and he has
risked his neck just to get that
story for which he was assigned.
Mr. Mayfield truly is of the old
school of "star" reporters who usml
ly were assigned to political investi
gation work which required rare
perspicuity.
One time there was-a hot politic al'
campaign in Nebraska, with a high
state office involved. Mayfield was
given an assignment to go over into
Iowa and dig up some of the history
of one of the candidate's life, which
apparently smacked of immorality.
He went to the town, secured his in
formation and had an affidavit made,
supporting his story. Just as he was
about to leave the town, the candi
date's friends drove in town, learned
of his investigation and gave chase
Mayfield running afoot with the
affidavit clutched in his hand, and
the pursuers in hot pursuit. The
chase went on for several miles and
Mayfield eluded them, went to a small
town, woke up a drowsy efperator on
a small railroad station and sent tlie
affidavit. W hen he returned to the
newspaper office, he was informed
that another reporter hail been as
signed thi3 task, but had ben caught
by the same men who had pursued
him. and had been hanged to a tree
until he was saved.
One time" Mr. Mayfie ld wits placed
in a cell at Fremont, Nebraska, as a
supposed horse thief, with a murder
er from whom he obtained a full
confession and a newspaper "scoop."
One of the best pieces of reporting
done by Mr. Mayfield was that rela
tive to the kidnaping of Eddie Cud.
ahy, wealthy packer's son. Mayfield
worked day and night on that story,
and repeatedly "scooped" his oppon
ent reporters, and even one of the;
world's greatest detective agencies.
In his long service, Mr. Mayfield
says he has covered every assignment
except society.
In his field as newspaper publish
er, he established his first country
newspaper at Louisville, the: old "Ob
server," now "The Courier," in the
year 1SS3. Successively, lie started
and owned the (Ireenwood, Nebraska.
"Hawkeye," the South Omaha Times
and others. On the South Omaha
Times, he put out one of the unique
papers of the west, buying a barrel
of "funny" stoek cuts. Without an
artist, he would use the cuts and
write a story, using local celebrities
as subject for illustration. Many
times, he related, he was engaged ii
serious rows, m wnicn a printers
mallet saved him from sound threshings.
After one weekly paper a:id anoth
er, ir. Aiayi.eKi joined t lie repoi tor-
ial staff of the present Omaha World-
Herald, just thirty-six years ago. His
work on the World-Herald, first as
reporter and then as Sunday feature-
editor, took him -to all parts of Ne
braska, and today he is one ef the
best known, newspapermen in tl e
state. His vast store of k iiowle d-re
today is used largely for re fere-nee
purpose, and he is librarian for the
World-Herald. He is fi3 years old.
"But I would do it all over again,"
he said in retrospect. "I would like
to be a good criminal lawyer or a
good surgeon if I had it to do over
again, but old printer's ink has spil
led all over me, and I am afraid I'd
jump back again and be a reporter."
