The fire is supposed to have originated from a defective chimney and was well under way before it was discov ered by the family. It caught in the roof and as the family were at din ner was not discovered until the meal had been finished. Neighbors were called by telephone and soon arrived and formed a bucket brigade and after hard work succeed ed in saving the building and its con tents from total destruction. The fact that the fire occurred at an hour when neighbors were in from their harvest fields for their noon day meal made it possible for them to respond quickly to the appeal for assistance and was most fortunately timed in this respect as quick work was neces sary to save the building. Cars came from every direction, a large number going out from town. It is a large two-story frame build ing. Ladders were brought into ser vice and soon a number of men climb ed to the roof and as bucket after bucket of water was passed up the ladders they succeeded in holding the flames in check until shingles were torn off and the fire eventually ex tinguished, but not before the roof was entirely ruined. While this was going on, other willing workers carried the house hold goods to safety. The damage to the building was estimated at about $1,000 and was insured in the Co lumbia Insurance company. The damage to the building is be ing repaired by Wm. VanSoyoc and Mr. and Mrs. Schoeman will soon be able to resume housekeeping. They are thankful that the damage was no greater. Louisville Courier.

Greenwood is getting ready for a real old time celebration and home coming on the 9th. 10th and 11th of j August. The big features will be a baseball tournament, rodeo, speak ing, amusements and entertainment. and open air dancing each evening. On the speaking program- are the Hon. A. J. Weaver, republican can didate for governor, who speaks the second night, Friday, Aug. 10th, and, Hon. Chas. W. Bryan, democratic candidate for the same office, who will speak on the closing night, Sat urday, August 13th. Greenwood never does things by( halves and with a bunch of go-get-f ters on the various committees look-, ing; after the arrangements, it is safe! to predict there will be "something. doing" in the old town on the three J lays and nights of the entertain ment. It is this sort of spirit that keeps the smaller towns and cities alive to day, and the town that fails to re spond to the desires of its people to be amused and entertained at home, ; will find themselves going elsewhere I to be entertained, and itself slipping down the ladder to a place that is shunned and passed by by the people of the surrounding countryside as well. On the other hand, there will always be a place in our country fori the smaller town that is alive and on the job seeking to better its condition : at every opportunity.

Davis THREE DELEGATES TO STATE CONVENTION Plattsmouth post of the American i Legion will be represented at the state convention by three regularly elect ed delegates, three alternates and a number of visitors. This is Grand j Island's second time to be host to the state Legion assemblage and great plans are being laid to make this year's' gathering one of the most not-, able of any that have preceded it. Representation in the convention is by post delegations, each post being entitled to one delegate at large and one for each fifty members or major) part thereof. This gives the Platts mouth post three delegates on its 1928 membership of 105. The election of delegates from this post will take place at an early date in August. Under present arrangements where by each guest is charged a registra tion fee of $1 before they can secure the convention badge and "free" ad mission to the various entertainments, the cost of entertaining a state con vention is no more than Plattsmouth expended entertaining the district convention in 1926, and when the local post gets the balance of its com munity building built a few years hence, the state convention will be brought to Plattsmouth.
