Elks and Golf
Club to Take Up
Organization
Plan to Enlarge Scope of tha Golf
m u 4. r i j V i. x
UUD to Include That of a
Country Club.
Prom Monday's raily
The Elks lodge of this city and
the golf club are planning the pre-
sentation of a plan whereby a largo,
part of the activities of the golf club
can be merged into that of a coun-
try club with the Elks participating
as one of the moving factors and in!
which the members of both organ
izations as well as the citizens at
large can be made the beneficarieH. j
The Elks have had a committee
active on the matter of the merging
of the Elks and golf club in the ac-j
tivities and which if carried out gives
ongui insurance en a nne coun
try club and also the two organiza
tions maintain their own individual
standing as to membership.
The plan is that there be pur
chased thirty acres belonging to L.
L. Wiles at the southwest moundary
of the city and where the present
golf course is located, the tract of
land including the present twenty
acre course and also that part of the
farm where in located the fine home
of Mr. and Mrs. Wiles which could
be used as a club house of the coun
try club.
In this proposition the Elks mem
bers would be given the privileges
of the country club, while the golf
members not Elks would also be able
to participate and the public at large
not members 'of either organization,
also have the benefit of the country
club and golf course on the payment
of the dues that would be fixed later.
The Elks lodge would retain their
fraternal organization as at the present-
time with the added advantage
to the membership of the order.
The full details of the plan will
be given the members of the Elks at
their meeting on Tuesday evening at
the club house and the members be
asked to approve the proposition as
outlined by the committee for their
judgment.
The plan, if carried out, will give
the t'ity a fine country !ub and make
the golf organization a real course
and the proper settings for the en
joyment of this sport and will also
be of great advantage to the member
ship of the Elks lodge.

From Monday's Dally
The number of cases of flu in the,

Many cases among the adults .are al-
so reported and this has made the
life of the physicians of the city a
round of calls and treatments for the
annoying malady.

Elks Approve
Plan for Local
Country Club
Committee To Take Steps to Canvass
Community for Stock in the
New Proposition.
From Wednesday's Dally
The plan of the organization of a
country club in the community was
advanced last evening when Platts
mouth lodge No. 739 of the Elks
voted to approve the proposition that
will combine the activities of the
golf club, and the Elk3 and afford
the community a country club and
in which others not members of the
club or Elks can also participate by
membership in the new organization.
The committee that has arranged
the preliminary plans composed of
H. A. Schneider, E. A. Fricke, L. L.
Turpin, George Petring and B. A.
Rosencrans, will have charge of the
campaign that will be undertaken at
once for the securing of a modern
and up to date country club here.
The stock in the club will cover
some sii.ooo and will be a good
proposition as the purchase of the
Luke L. Wiles farm whic his to be
the site of the club, gives them a
splendid location and one that is ideal
for the purpose pnd - rncludes the
Wiles residence, ona of the most" at
tractive farm homes in this section
of the county.
The general plan calls for the par
ticipation of the Elks and the golf
ciuo in tne activities and also nro
vides that the general public that
may desire can become interested in!
the country club, even if they are not
members of the other organizations
and makes it wholly a community af-
fair and one that will fill a long
leu wan in the city.

Local Theatre
Praised by Cham
ber of Commerce
Many Points of Vantage of the Home
Theatre That Gives Best of
Entertainment.
From 'Wednesday's Daily
The chamber of commerce of this
city has prepared the following ar
ticle of real merit in support of the
local theatre which gives this com
munity the very best of pictures and
with the most pleasant of surround
ings: We wonder if the good people of
Plattsmouth realise just what an
asset we have in The Parmele The
atre. Many cities larger than Platts
mouth feel a pride in what they term
their theatre, when in many ways i
does not compare with the one we
term ours. The Parmele.
What is known as the shooting gal
lery type, an old store building made
over, with its old fashioned narrow
seat and aisle arrangements Hurdy
Gurdy roll piano sort of music that
make one feel like lending its own
er a stick of dynamite to send the
eld player where it rightfully be
longs, seat3 that remind one of rid
ing an old fashioned corn roller, as
far as comfort is concerned. On ac
count of the low ceilings that prevail
I in this type of a theatre, ventilation
is usually poor. Plattsmouth, as you
know, and realize has a theatre that
comes up to our own idea of what
theatre should be.
We are given the very best picture
obtainable anywhere. We are very
fortunate to be blessed with the qual
ity of music that Carl Weigel gives
us on the wonder Wurlitzer organ
and if you'll notice the music is al
ways cued to the individual picture.
Comfort Because the seats are
! built to effect the greatest amount of
comfort and to use the rough term
j there's plenty of leg room, so one
does not have to set in a cramped
position. Clean, because, daily Jan
itoring, floors mopped and swept as
clean as a home. Every seat is a good
one and where you can see and en

FASHION SHOW
The keen interest manifested in
the first real fashion show of our
great city is highly encouraging and
equally gratifying. All of the local
merchants connected with this inter
esting style show, have entered with
a zest and enthusiasm that is almost
beyond imagination.
The eagerly waiting public may
rest assured that none of the large
cities in America are in a position
to show styles excelling or in ad
vance of the Plattsmouth Fashion
Show to be held on March 2Sth at
the Parmele Theatre. The large stage
of this fine institution of which by
tne wav Plattsmouth may well ue
proud of, is now undergoing a thor-
ough renovation and will be decor-
ated in keeping'with the true spirit
of "Plattsmouth Fiist. Last and Al

Plans Being
Made for Memor
ial Program
Patriotic Council Urged General Ob
servance of the Day and
Also Flag- Day.
From Wednesday's Dally
Last evening the patriotic coun
cil, composed of the representatives of
the Daughters of the American Re
volution, Women's Relief corps,
Grand Army of the Republic, Amer
ican Legion, Spanish War veterans
and American Legion Auxiliary, held
a meeting at the home of Mrs. F. R.
Gobelman, the secretary, and the
council was presided over by Mrs. E.
H. Wescott, the chairman.
The council spent some time in the
discussion of the plans for memorial
day on Wednesday. May 30th, as the
members of the Grand Army has be
come so small and these are largely
in such advanced years and poor
health that they cannot be expected
to carry on the work of the arrange
ment of the day altho it is hoped that
a number may be able to be out to
attend the services on this date.
The council decided to have the
meeting on memorial day at the Le
gion auditorium, presided over by
Lr W; "Neil, the' Legion -post com
mander, and in which the glee clubs
of the high school under the direc
tion of Miss Sylvia Cole will take
part. The Boy Scouts will also have
a part in the program, as will the
campfire girls. The speaker of the
day will be R. A. Kirkpatrick, the
historian of the Omaha post of the
American Legion, this being arrang
ed by the Legion. The general ar
rangements of the prgram will be in
the hands of the W. R. C. as the unit
of the Grand Army.
The decorations of the graves and
the placing of flags will probably be
e-ivpn to th A mprin n Tjip-inn find
the ladies organizations as the aged
veterans find it impossible to carry
out the usual program and it is the
hope that they may be able to have
representatives at the mound at the
cmetery on memorial day morning to
participate in the fservice, even if not
able to have a more active part.
The council also urged all patriotic
societies to have representation at the ,'
court house on Monday, April 9th
when the naturalization day
cises will be held in the district
court.
In regard to the Flag Day observ-
ances, it was decided to have a pro- ,
gram similar to last year held at 7
a. m. on June 14th at several places
to be designated and also it will be!
nrired that everv hnmn disnlav the

that the first tryout of the season
would be staged on Sunday afternoon
at the baseball park, if'the weather
permits and at which time is is de
sired that as many as possible of the
players be out and start to get lim
bered up for the reason.
The city team will co-operate with
the American Legion that is sponsor
ing the younger team of the city and
the youthful lads who may fhine in
the junior loop will have an oppor
tunity of assisting in the regular city
team if they so desire.
There is a great deal of promising
material available over the city for
a team, both in the veterans and the
younger players and those who wish
to get into the game have but to come
out and show their interest in the
workouts so that theycan le placed
in the nyxst available .positions and
take part in the season's work.
When the season opens ui- the euc
cess of the team will depeid largely
on the fans of the city as the pat
ronage that the team receives at the
games will govern the class of teams
that they can play and the players
that they will be able to use.
This season it is planned to have
the games largely played on the home
grounds if the patronage will war
rant and if the Plattsmouth people
want a real up and coming team with
fast games on the home lot, all they
have to do is to be present at the
games and assist the team in getting
