Collins of Boston, were treated to a very fine, frank and unbiased discussion of some of the vital problems of the modern and the future generations. This lecture. "The High Cost of Low Morals," is given by Mr. Collins over the coui' try under the auspices of the supremo council of the Knights of Columbus and is a splendid appeal to the people of all denomination of faith t take heed of the modern trend of the times that is a grim fort boding 'f future. The unfavorable weather condi ditions of the past several days pre vented many from attending but those who did felt amply repaid for their efforts in facts so ably present ed by this striking New England man. The modernistic trend, the drift ing away from the religious Train ing of the past, the spirit cf doubt and lark of faith which is growing more evident and affecting the relig ious life of the nation and invading every faith in the land. The indifference of the people to lawlessness and crime was also touched ipon and the opinions of many of the leading thinkers of the nation along the line of the growing menace of the spirit of lawlessness was pointed out as an indication of the dangers of the future and the nec essity for the arousing of the public to the general checking of crime. The trend of many of the modern theories of education was also touch ed upon by the speaker scoring the "sex Philosophers" and also the "literature" that is permitted to creep into the teaching of the col ileees and which creates too great a spirit of doubt and unbelief in the minds of the young. A return of the christian teachings and the fundamentals of the religious training regardless of church or creed was urged by Mr. Collins. The speaker was introfluced by M'.ke Vitersnick. grand knight of the local council of the Knights of Col umbus.

Glendale School to Receive Medal for Good Work Work of Reporting a Barberry Hedge of Fifty Bushes Brings Fine Recognition. Seventh and eighth grade pupils of the Glendale school. Louisville were awarded the bronze medal of the National Rust Busters club for reporting a barberry hedge of lifty bushes near the schoolhouse. Miss Elizabeth Tritsch, former stu dent here at the high school, is the teacher of the Glendale school and her efforts have largely been respon sible for seeing that the matter was laid before the state authorities. The pupils of Glendale school near Louisville received the first medal awarded in Nebraska for finding barberry bushes. The located fifty bushes in a hedge near the school- house on the John Urwin farm. A F. Thiel, in charge of barberry erad ication in Nebraska, presented the medal to the children on Friday even ing at a gathering in the schoolhouse. The medal is given by the confer ence for the prevention of grain rust. This organization announced in February that it would give medal to any child reporting the accurate location of a common barberry bush. Mr. Thiel immediately took up the matter with the county superintend ents of Nebraska. Miss Alpha Peter son, county superintendent, supplied all schools of the county with the educational material and urged that the rural school teachers teach their students to identify the bushes. Miss Elizabeth Tritsch, teacher of the Glendale school included the bar berry identification training in her agricultural class. Within a few- days the students brought the specimens which were identified as barberry and sent to Mr. Thiel at the agricultural college in Lincoln. Since it was not known which student first found the hedge, the medal was given to the entire class. The offer of a medal to the Ne braska boys and girls still holds good, according to Mr. Thiel. Mr. Thiel has been in charge of barberry eradication in Nebraska for several years. During that time young men under his supervision have surveyed the entire state and eradicated barberries. A rrcheck of the eastern part of the state has also been made to find the stray bushes and suckers around the places where old bushes were taken out. It has been definitely proven that the bar berry bush is a host for wheat rust, which used to take heavy toll in the wheat crop in Nebraska. While it is not possible to tell exactly how much rust has been prevented in recent years by the extermination of bar berry, authorities say that savings to the wheat crops of the state are much greater than the cost of re moving the bushes.

Sterling Morton, the great lover of nature and whose per sonal efforts have made possible the development in the forestry and fruit growing in the state. Nebraska was the pioneer state in the movement for the general observ ance of a day that would be set ppart to plant trees, either the hardy forest trees or the orchards that have since sprug up over this section of the state as the result of the cam paign of education, carried on by Mr. Morton from his home at Arbor Lodge and which has brought to the once barren section of the west great growths of trees and the development of this great part of the state's re sources. It was this great service in the developing of the rorestation of the nation as well as the great agricul tural intererts of the country that led to the naming of Mr. Morton as the secretary of agriculture in the cabinet of President Grover Cleve land in 1S93 and where he served with distinction for four years and made possible the carrying out of many of the advanced ideas for the upbuilding of the country and parti cularly of the great west. The day here was marked by the closing of the banks, the county of fices and the personal observances of the individual citizen by tne plant ing of trees and shrubs to help pre serve the ideals of the great founder of Arbor day. Masonic Home Has a Historic Relic Installed Log From the Merrill Mission to Have Place in Fireplace Man tle at Infirmary From Tuesday" raflv Yesterday W. F. Evers. superin tendent of the Nebraska Masonic Home was at La Platte and while there secured a large hewn 'Jog from the old Merrill mission, located west of La Platte and brought the log here to be placed as a part of the mantle in the men's lounging room at the infirmary building in this city. This log comes from the ruins of what was the first protestant mission in the state of Nebraska and is in a wonderful state of preservation and as well preserved as when it was placed by the pioneers in the build ing that was used as the headquar ters of Stephen Merrill, a Presby terian missionary among the In dians of the Nebraska plains in the early forties. The log will have a place of honor in the room at the infirmary used as the men's lounging and smoking room and will complete the large and specious fireplace that is a part of the decorations of this beautiful room. The room was fur nished by Mr. and Mrs. John R. Web ster of Omaha for the infirmary as a place of comfort. The large fire place has been awaiting the com pletion of the mantle and this is where the historic log will be placed and rest for all time as a lasting memorial of the pioneer missionary of the great west. Mr. Evers states that the logs of the old mission were hewen by axes and all perfectly dovetailed with each other in the construction of the cabin and the work that was per formed more -than eighty years ago has remained perfect and in much better shape than many more mod ern buildings. It has often been urged that the Merrill mission be made a state his toric spot and be placed under the care of the state of Nebraska and this was very strongly urged by the late Monsignour Shine and the Btate historic society. Auto Driver Smashes Up 3 Cars Last Nile Cecil C. Rounds, Lodged in Jail On Charge of Driving While Intoxicated From TusilaVs rail; Cecil C. Rounds, driving a largo older type Studebuker touring car, raised havoc with a number of other uutos that were parkt d along the north side of Main street and near the Sixth street intersection and the crash of the impact of several cars was beard over the entire downtown section and drew a very large crowd in a few moments. Mr. Rounds and a companion had been in Omaha and came back about 7 o'clock last evening coming down North Sixth street and turning at the intersection into Main street. Hardly had the car started down Main street that it suddenly started across the street, whether the car got beyond the control of the driver or the driver was beyond control, not being known, but the car swung over and ran against the large car of George Ilild parked iu front of the Cream of the West bakery, shov ing this car several inches toward the curb but not damaging it to any great extent, then the Stude baker ran into the roadster of Nel son Champlin. parked just east of Mr. Ilild and here one of the rear fenders of the Champlin car was dented some but otherwise the car was not seriously damaged. The big smash was when the heavy Stude baker crashed into the Chevrolet coach of Sam Giventer parked in front of the Peoples Market and where the car of Sam was badly wrecked. The left rear whel was completely destroyed, the running board along the left side was torn loose and the car generally damaged and incidently the Studebaker suf fered the loss of the bumper and also had the right front wheel knocked out of place. The car driv en by Rounds was then backed out and was started across the street but fortunately was stopped before fur ther damage was done. After the accident Mr. Rounds drove on down to Fifth and Main street where the car was stopped by Constable Tom Svoboda and the driver of the car made to climb out of the gas wagon and here the com panion of Mr. Rounds wisely made a fade out and disappeared. Mr. Rounds was placed under ar rest by Officer David Pickrel who had been at the east end of Main street at the time of the accident. and the prisoner was escorted to the city jail and locked up. To the po lice Mr. Rounds Ftated that he had paid ?35. all of his available money for the car several days ago. and that if he was given a job, would try and repay for the damage done to the car of Mr. Giventer. Police claim that this is the second case of this kind of trouble that Mr. Rounds has been responsible for or charged with.
