Death of John

Well Known Resident of Near This

After Operation
It Pays to Watch Your
Step When You Buy
Balloons
Unknown brands are risky "bargains" in
any type of tire but especially so with
Balloons.
Balloons work at lower pressures. They've
got to be flexible. And it takes good ma
terials and the highest degree of manufac
turing skill to combine flexibility with
strength in a tire carcass.
Pathfinder Balloons are made and guaran
teed by Goodyear, the world's largest man
ufacturer of quality tires. They're a safe
and sane solultion to your equipment prob

From Wednesday's Daily
It is now but the matter of a very
short space of time until the annual
observance of Memorial day is with
us again and the community joins
In the tender tributes to the depart-'
ed of the nation and particularly in'
the community gatherings, to the;
men who have served their country1
on the battlefield or on the sea in
the defense of the flag of the repub-'
lie.
The beautiful custom of the mem-
orial day services came as the after 1
thought of the great struggle in our;
own land that had threatened to'
divide the great republic and the day, .
while honoring all of the service men,
is really the day that is most thought'
of in connection with the men of the
civil war days, whether in blue or
gray, who have shrunk to a small,
handful of tottering veterans, as the
host of some two million have gone
on before where there is the rest from
war and strife.
In the days when the veterans of
'61 were numerous the day was one
of the most extensively observed holi
days of the year and large numbers'
of these veterans, then still in thej
prime of life paid fitting tribute tot
their departed but now the tasks'
of the observance have largely fallen
to other hands as the ranks of the
boys in blue have gradually diminish
ed to so few that they may be count
ed on the two hands and all of
these suffering from the infirmaties
of their age.
To those veterans of other wars
an:l members of the various patriotic
societies have fallen to tasks of see
ing that Memorial day is not for
gotten and the little green tents
where sleep the honored dead are
strewn with the flowers of springtime j
and over their last resting places!
the flag they loved floats en this day)
as a token of the remcmberancc of;
1 . . 1 1 1 1
me country mey nave servvu. j
In other days it was the custom to
read the roll cf the departed of the
great civil war but so great has been
the loss in the sixty years since the
close of the conflict that only those
left behind are called and these are
finding it more difficult each year to
respond to the call to the service.
But with the years taking toll of
the boys in blue and gray their mem
ories must not be dimmed or for
gotten and the sacrifices that they
have made be kept green in memory.
The memorial day program for the
community service is beiug arranged
by a committee from several of the
patriotic societies to honor the de
parted heroes and a participation in
the program by members of the Am
erican Legion, Spanish war veterans,
Grand Army, Women's Relief Corps
Daughters of the American Revolu
tion as well as the Boy Scouts and
representatives of the city school?
will be used in the program that will
be announced in the next few days.
Everyone in the community should
pause on this day to pay their trib
ute of honor to those no longer here
but who gave full measure of their
service in their lifetime and make
the service oneof the largest that has
been held here in th recent years as
expression to the surviving veterans
that their day will alvyas b as green
with memory when they are all pass
ed on as it was when they were here.
CODE OF ETHICS
Nat. Ass'n Retail Clothiers and Furnishers.
FOR THE PURPOSE of standardizing and giving uniformity to
accepted ethical business methods, this declaration is published.
It is what we conceive to be cur duty toward all men with whom
we deal: that an avowal of and attachment for the progress of these
principles is required as a basis for membership in the National Asso
ciation of Ratail Clothiers and Furnishers.
"We admit that the corner-stone of Commerce is integrity; that
the assets of any commercial institution consist of honesty and busi
ness character first and after that, service and merchandise.
"We hold paramount the truth that advertising is a covenant with
the public; that the spoken or printed word is as binding on perform
ance as an oath in a judicial tribunal, as sacred as a personal pledge.
"Our constant aim is to administer the affairs of this institution
so that individual service to the customer is not diminished or mini
mized by reason of volume of trade; that interested, personal service,
based on the needs and requirements of the individual, is our first
duty and chiefest task.
"Mutual exchange of confidence between buyer and seller is es
sential. We affirm that the history of any article of merchandise con
cealed beneath trade expressions or symbols (the meaning of which
leads the buyer to form an opinion more favorable than would obtain
without such disguise) is unfair to the buyer, and therefore contrary
to our ethics."
It is our purpose to exemplify the above code
in this community.

Two auto accidents are reported
this week by Eagle people on the way
to Lincoln. Monday Wm. Qulnn and
wife and Mrs. Ernest Trumble and
; children were about four miles west
,when a spindle broke and the car
.turned turtle. Save for a few
scratches and a shaking up none
were injured, though the car lay on
its back with ' the engine running.
About the only damage was the
(broken spindle and the top.
Wednesday afternoon Freda Reit-
, ter. Miss Ilosman, Verna Wall and
; Delia Ilartsock were going up and
when turning the corner this side of
ithe railroad at the Leavitt place the
ear tipped over on its side. Frede in
! voluntarily thrust her hand out of
the window and it was caught under
the frame inflicting a compound frac
ture of the wrist. None of the others
were seriously injured. They were
; assisted ot Lincoln by passing motor
ists. The car was not badly dam
aged a spindle bent and tho top
j jammed, but it was run into Lin-
coin on its own power.
Both, of these accidents might
easily have been more serious. The

CAPTAIN FINGARS0N ILL
From Wednesday s Daily
Captain George A. Fingarson, well
known officer of the 17th infantry
at Fort Crook, has been quite poorly
for the past several weeks and is
now at the army hospital at Fort
Leavenworth, Kansas, where he has
been receiving treatment and which
it is hoped will soon place him on
the highway to recovery. It is hoped
in the near future to be able to
bring Captain Fingarson back to the
Nebraska post. Captain Fingarson is
well known in this city as he was
stationed at Fort Crook with the 41st
infantry during the world war and
was married here to Miss Marie Don
nelly and the many friends here will
regret very much to learn of the ill
ness of the- captain.
