His war service found him restless and he came west to Illinois to engage in the choice of his life's work and in that state and Missouri he spent his younger years. While living in Missouri he was one of the leading county editors and a prom inent figure in the democratic circles when the figures of General George G. Vest, Senator Francis Marion Cockrell, Governor David R. Francis, Hon. Champ Clark. Richard P. Bland. Governor Marmaduke, Sen ator William J. Stone and others were the chief figures of the state political stage. Col. Bates came to Plattsmouth in 1902 when his sons purchased the Plattsmouth Journal, and he has since resided here and acting as editor of the Journal of which his son. Robert A. Bates, is the owner and publisher. In 1909- 1911 Col. Bates was the representa tive in the state legislature from the district composed of Otoe and Cass counties. He is at this time commander of the McConahie post of the Grand Army of the Republic of this city. The advance in years has checked a great deal of his usual activity but he is still able to take a keen interest in the affairs of the world and by his pen to keep the editorial department moving on, and preparing for the election in Novem ber of a democratic president Gov.

PLATTSMOUTH LEAGUE WINS THE PRIZE CUP The Plattsmouth Epworth League were awarded the cup for being the most efficient chapter in the Omaha district of the League at the meeting held at Fremont on Wednesday af ternoon and evening. There were eleven of the local chapter present at the district meet ing, as well as Rev. II. E. Sortor, pastor of the local c hurch and whose work with the society has fjreatlv aided the advancement of the local chapter in their work. The Plattsmouth chapter received S84 points, while the nearest com petitor of the local chapter was Wal nut Hill church of Omaha, with COO. The victory of the local Epworth League is especially pleasine to Rev. Sortor, as he was head of the church where the winning chapter was lo cated two years ago at Craier. and the work that he has had with the young people has led the church as well as the societies to a higher standard. management of W. T. Distell was going strong and needed support.. The committee also is taking up the matter of ithe band conceits and hoped to have the summer program in a short time. Chairman T. H. Pollock of th agricultural committee reported that the calf and pig clubs that were formed here had been functioning very nicely and the young peopl taking the greatest of interest an that John Kaffenberger and Myron Wiles, prominent farmers, had been aiding the young people in thei work and with some splendid results. The creamery outlook was the bes and the company that was arranging to supply the material for the plan had come here very highly recom mended, that the chamber of com merce had investigated them and found the very best of results in all communities where they had estab lished creameries and which had been a great asset to the farmer and the dairy people a3 it stimulated the industry. Mr. Pollock stated that on his visit to Wisconsin he found the greater part of the creameries to be co-operative and making a great asset to every community and the farmer as it had given the state an industry that had tided them through the agricultural crisis. The repre sentative of the company, Mr. Clay was securing signers to the creamery with the assistantance of A. R. John son and tnat nis proposition was the very best and investigation show ed it a practical plan and a success where it was tried. Mr. Pollock urged all to join in Its support H. C. Clay, representative of the creamery company also gave a few standing of the company and in which he invited the investigation to the fullest of anyone interested to learn of the creameries else where and stated that the company that Installed the creameries had the interests at heart and would see that all possible was done to make it It's a Legal blanks of all kinds for sale t the Journal offioe III mi 1 Should be taken W7 0 Tomorrow may be too Late!

Bates of the rail road committee reported that there had been no developments to report in the local situation and that the general adjustments that had been made in all lines of railroading had found this city is as favorable a posi tion as other points qS the Burling ton. Chairman W. G. Kieck of the city welfare committee reported that he was proceeding on the work of the cleaning up of the outstanding dead property on which taxes had ac cumulated and that he hoped to have tne commissioners approve the reso Mtion that would permit him to go ahead with the work and get the I4S.000 worth of property back on the tax lists in the hands of persons who would keep it alive. Chairman H. A. Schneider of the Missouri River bridge committee gave the club a great deal of en couragement as to the outlook for a speedy start on the structure, but the committee was not in a position to give the full details of the plans that ;ad been carried along so far, ex cept that the company was organized nd the preliminary work had been pushed as rapidly as possible and the outlook was very encouraging to the bridge committee in every way. Mrs. E. H. Wescott. the president of the Plattsmouth Woman's club was present and being called upon for a few remarks urged that the ladies of the city join in the activ ities of the Women's club, the chief civic organizations of the ladies. Mrs. Wescott was in favor of the carrying on of public works and urged that every effort be made in the community to provide places where possible for the young men that have graduated from the high school here, in the life of the com munity, that they might have their part in the community life instead of being compelled to leave here to seek their future elsewhere. The question of employment was one of the greatest needs of the hour, Mrs. Wescott stated. Another of the prop ositions that the ladies were inter ested in was a "Dutch Treat" ban quet in which they could meet with the chamber of commerce and in which she urged Bess Gearhart Mor rison as the speaker. The holding of a party for all the young men and women who were casting first votes this fall was also urged by the speak er. Mrs Wescott stated that the mem bers of the Women's club had inves tigated the practicability of having a better water system in the Oak Hill cemetery and urged that a gas pumping station and tank be used in handling the water supply of the cemetery. Mayor Sattler was called upon and stated that the city administra tion was striving to overcome the financial situation that had grown in the past few years in the city af fairs and that all expenses would be cut to the limit to try and create balances in the various funds that had been badly overdrawn and that this would require the exercise of the utmost economy. In this line the speaker stated the city would not be able to finance the series of band concerts altho they were splendid at tractions. Mr. Sattler stated that he had been a visitor at Nebraska City and was much impressed with the manner in which the affairs there were conducted and that he was a firm believer in the commission form of government as the most effective in the handling of the community affairs as it permitted a more busi ness like handling of city affairs and the fact that the budget was never Made by Cluett Peabody and ad vertised in a national way.

In the mat ter of bonded indebtedness Mr. Sat tler found that this city was in much better condition than Nebraska City. The meeting was then adjourned after W. A.

The brush dam is a good example of baffle but if you have no brush it is possible to build them anyway by using rock, concrete or posts. There are several points of con struction which if carefully observ ed will bring success. In the first place, use plenty of dams or baffles. Place them not more than 100 feet apart in ditches of small slope and so close as 35 feet to 50 feet apart in steeper ones. All kinds of dams or baffles should be lower in the center than at the edges to prevent the water from running around them. If the water pours over them some provision must be made to break its fall on the down-stream In the brush dam this is taken care of by the brush itself.
