The local chapter of the Red Cross
has had a great deal of relief work
to carry on the past year and which
included the contribution to the Mis
sissippi flood relief of the National
Red Cross society.
The Red Cros3 chapter here has
been able to do a great deal of re
lief work locally that has been car-
ried out silently and efficiently and
given prompt result rather than the
Ions? red tape methods that either
waits until the person in need of
relief, is past helping or the emer
gency for the relief is past. The
larger part of the expenditures of
the year have been largely along the
lines of prompt relief that has show
ed some splendid results and gave
an aid such as only the Red Cross
can give.
The campaign for memberships
for 1927-28 is now on and the citi
zens who give their dollars are aid
ing in the' good work of relief both
nationally and locally as a small part
ZLl&Cl ,d?i!f ' f me,mber9hiP, stf s
here and the remainder goes to the
national chapter for their work. A
dollar given in the Red Cross work
Is one of the best gifts that can be
made and assures that someone is
going to be given that much care and
comfort fn their need which the
greatest, other of them all supplies.
The rmibership cards are for sale
at the Plattsmouth State bank and
they may be secured from now until
Thanksgiving an'd every membership
helps to make the relief work that
much more successful.

Omaha Prints
Win from Platts

Score of 13 to 0 Rolled Uy by the
Fast Omaha Aggregation in
Eattle Here Sunday.
From Monday's rally
mouth Atnletic football team ran in-
to a real snag in the Omaha Prints,
one of the best amateur football
teams of the state and as the result
of the struggle the Prints were the
winners by the score of 13 to 0.
The Athletics were not hitting
their best strides and several fumbles
and poor plays aided in the victory of
the visitors, who had a fast and ag
gressive team that was able to avail
themselves of the breaks of the game
and which . accounted a great way
for their winning the battle.
For the locals Jerry Adam fea
tured as the most outstanding player
v ? Vi TPi IVTii 1 ln foot iorlrfio1rl ri o n
and who made 'the most impressive
gains for the locals in the game.
Stuart Chase also made several good
gains against the Prints but none of
these were productive of scores as
the advantages gained were wiped
out In the succeeding plays.
The Prints scored their first touch
down in the first five minutes of play
when Joe Prerost, former Tech high
star was in the way when George
Sedlacek attempted to pass and Joe
received the pass instead of the Ath
letic players and raced over the line
for the first score of the game.
The game was see-sawed back and
forth for the remainder of the game
until late in the struggle Johnny
Monaghan, one time Creighton Prep
star, came through on a line plunge
that gave the Omaha team the sec
ond and last touchdown of the game
and with a try for point gave the
visitors a total of thirteen points.
The referee of the game was Joe
Krejci, member of the near state con
ference champions of the Peru nor-
mal and who refereed a fine game in
his usual fair and impartial manner.

Rotarians Go
on Good Fellow
ship Meeting
Join in Fine Meeting With Mynard
Community Club Last Evening
at That Place.
From Wednesday's Daily
Carrying out one of the requiM
menlP of tlw? Itotarian ,Tor the .n-i'-tion
of goodiellowship and a wider
ciick of activities in servic-' and tom
mNhip, the members c t the I'i itls-iiii-uth
Rotary club I.nt tv-ni
, n.otoi ed down to Mynar.I v.'?irc I hey
n'trtained the Myuar-l Coin im.iity
cluh in a fine congenial pithn ii'
that all of the members of the paiiy
enjoyed to the utmost.
The happy event, was held at the
Mynard community center where the
fine community center made a real
place for the gathering and the base
ment of the church that represents
the individual efforts of the resi
dents of the community was found
to be a place that Mynard can fe-l
proud to have and which is a testi
monial to the progressive spirit of
their people.
The-fadiSs of Mynard arranged the
supper for the Rotarians and their
guests and left nothing undone that
might add to the pleasures of the
visitors. Throughout the room tlie
purple and gold of the Rotary colors
made a wonderful touch to the scene
and amid the settings in keeping
with the spirit of Rotary the mem
bers of the supper party spent st-v-eral
pleasant hours.
The menu of the supper embraced
everything from the choicest of roast
chicken to the tempting apple pie a
la mode and which gave a feast that
satisfied the most discriminating and
was one that the Rotarians will long
remember with a great deal of pleas
ure. The meeting was in charge of W.
F. Evers, chairman of the commun
ity relations committee of the Rotary
and who very cleverly filled the role
of chairman and in introducing the
various features that the Rotarians
had prepared for the event.
Incidently the Plattsmouth Ro
tarians are hanging up a record on
attendance and this was their fifth
consecutive 100 per cent meeting
with all of the members in attend
ance. The invocation was offered by the
Rev. G. B. Weaver, pastor of the
United Brethern church of Mynard
and following this the members of
the party enjoyed a number of songs
that added to the enjoyment of the
occasion and placed all in the proper
spirit for the good time that follow
ed. The Plattsmouth Rotarians have a
great deal of musical and clever tal
ent in their membership and which
found expression in the program that
was given.
L. O. Minor, who in addition to
being the superintendent of the wa
ter company of this city, has a splen
did voice was heard in a bass solo
that was much -enjoyed by all of the
party.
Attorney W. A. Robertson, the
equal of the famous "Tennessee
Judge" of Orpheum fame, as well as
being one of the leading members
of the Cass county bar, gave a dia
lect reading that was a real knock
out of fun and enjoyment.
William Baird, the representative
of the thistle and the heather on
the Rotary membership gave two
Scottish songs in his own clever man
ner and which transported the mem
bers to the land of Bobbie Burns in
song.
The chief of the musical talent of
the Rotary has been acknowledged
in Frank A. Cloidt and he was heard
