Cass County
Fair Proves a
Great Success
Journal Field Representative Visits
the Fine County Exposition
Many Defy Weather.
From Saturday! Pally
The first day of the county fair,
Wednesday, promised to be good and
it was anticipated that there would
be excellent weather, but the second
day there was a drizzling rain all day
and but few came to see the wonder
ful display which was there from
all quarters.
With the coming of the last day.
Friday. Sept. 20th, the, day opened
with considerable rain during the
night, but the rain stopped, although
the clouds remained and the chilling
wind seemed to find ones marrow.
Nevertheless, the people went out
into the yard, where they could get
a good survey of the heavens and con
eluded, as did Noah of old, that the
downpour was over, and it would not
be so bad getting there and back
home again. Anyhow, some six or
seven thousand of them did this, and
then got out the Ford, the Stude-
baker, the Chevy, the Buick or what
ever kind of a car they had, and
away they went to the county fair.
Up to the noon hour, there was
only a very meagre crowd in attend
ance, but after that they came in
swarms and soou the Main street of
Weeping Water was literally teeming
with people, the ladies clad in all
colors of feminine apparel and the
men, as well, though not dressed so
gorgeously, were there in large num
bers just the same.
The ferris wheel, the merry-go-round
and the blanket stands, as
well as the ball racks and the ham
burger joints and the pancake stands
were all doing a thriving business.
The pop and red lemonade business
did not flourish so well. However,
there were plenty of people and
plenty of amusements for everyone,
ending up with a dance in the even
ing at Philpot hall.
Three bands enlivened ..the day
with their music and which was
greatly enjoyed and appreciated by
the large and good natured crowd
notwithstanding the adverse weath
er. Everybody was meeting and
greeting old friends and acquaint
ances and a general good time was
had. This is always one of the very
good features of the fair.
However, on the other hand, there
were excellent displays in all lines,
good enough to attract the attention
of everyone. The school work ex
hibits were very fine and showed the
effect of the splendid instruction im
parted by the teachers of the coun
ty and the diligent application of the
scholars themselves, while the arts
division was well represented by the
things manufactured.
In the agricultural hall, there were
canned goods, preserves and cookery
of all kinds, which made one wish,
it were time to eat. The corn dis
play was something wonderful and
one would be at a loss to know where
to look for finer or more fully de
veloped corn. Passing along to the
vegetables there was an almost end
less display of pumpkins, squash, po
tatoes (sweet and other varieties) '
and all sorts of things grown in the
garden. The fruit department was
also crowded with exhibits of apples,
grapes, etc., presenting a most beau
tiful sight. No need to go to some
other state for fruits, when such ex-
cellent varieties are grown right
here in Cass county.
The Parade
The parade, which consisted of
horses, cattle and other animals that
were on exhibit, was one of the big
features of the afternoon. The crown
ing attraction of the parade was the
school children on the various floats
and those who paraded on foot. As
they went along the streets, the child
ren sang beautiful songs, whih were
applauded by the people along the
way for the excellence of their per
formance, as well as the singing.
A number of very beautiful auto
mobiles added to the pleasant spec
tacle, which was several blocks long
and well worth viewing from begin
ning to end.
We then visited the Btock depart
ment, commencing with the hogs,
where we found as fine a lot of all
breeds as one could expect to see at
a national live stock show, and cer
tainly there are few better ones than
those grown here in Cass county, as
exhibited at this year's fair. Then
came the cattle and horses, and these
too furnished a surprise to those not
familiar with the grade of stock that
is now being bred and grown on the
farms of not alone this county, but
the entire state.
Then we went to the poultry de
partment, where we found an end
less variety of excellent species of
chickens, and fine ones. Some one
has said that . we are raising too
many chickens and too much poultry,
but when one looks to the exhibits,
he Is convinced that there is some
thing really worth while in the cul
ture of the fowl. "We were readily
convinced that there was a good de
mand for poultry, for we took din
ner at the Christian church cafe and
found many there like ourselves who
were hungry for the hot chicken
sandwiches which the good women
served. Besides, there was the Worn
an's club and the Methodist ladies
who were also serving hot chicken
sandwiches and sure they were good
We have not space to tell of all
the excellent things on exhibition
and we will have to stop, but just
want to add that all were well pleas
ed with the excellent address which
was delivered by Governor A. J
Weaver, and that the two with their
fiddles who provided amusement for
the happy throng are entitled to the
thanks of everybody.

success notwithstanding the bad
weather.

Eagles Getting
Fight Card Ready
for Coming Show
Next Fistic Carnival Will Be Held
on Saturday, September 28th
at Legion Building
From Friday's Dally
The committee in charge of the
Eagles fistic carnival to be staged
here on Saturday, September 28th
have practically completed their ar
rangements for the show which will
be staged at the American Legion
building.
The committee has yet to com
plete one of their four round bouts
and then they will be ready to get
their fight definitely announced.
The chief bout of the card will
be Joe Roper. 160, the hard hitting
Omaha boxer, against Frank Goze
man, 15S, Texas boxer, who has
showed well in his fights in this part
of the west. Gozeman was the win
ner over Roper on a decision in one
of their battles in the west part of
the state and the match should give
some real boxing.
In the semi-windup of the card
Steve Mickna, 145, and Joe Smogye,
14 6, two of the fastest glove artists
in Omaha, will battle. These boys
were on the first Eagles card and
scored a draw- in a real exhibition
of boxing.
In a six round battle, WTiit Bird
sell, 143, and Jack Turner, 142, both
of Omaha and fast boys, will swap
blows and this should be one of the
best features of the card as both
men are reported as being well
matched.
In the four round events Dale
Porter of this city will be the foe
of Freddy Penn, they weighing in at
118 and 116 and this event should
showthe clever and light boxers at
their best.
The remainder four round event
will be announced later as soon as
Chairman Blunt of the committee
can get in touch with an opponent
for John Smogye, who it is expected
will take part in this feature of this
card.

RETURNS TO CALIFORNIA
From Saturday's Dally-
Last evening Judge Allen J. Bee-
son, who has for the past two weeks
been visiting in this city and Oma
ha, departed on his way to his home
in the west at Los Angeles. Califor
nia. The visits of Judge Beeson here
with the old friends are always en-
oyable occasions for everyone as the
genial former county judge has a
very wide acquaintance and is kept
busy greeting the friends and re
newing old ties of the past years.
Judge Beeson, was county judge for
a long period of years and was one
of the most popular of county offi
cials and his withdrawal from the
ofSce was by the rather unusual
method of declining to make the
race for the office any more. Enroute
to the west Judge Beeson will stop
at Edison, " Nebraska, to look after
some land owned by the .Waybrlght
estate and will then go onto Los
Angeles. The visits here are most
pleasant for the Judge, but brings
regret each time that he . starts
westward, as he is a real Nebraakan
and believes that this locality is
ust about the best in the world.

Choral Union
Draws Praise of
Local reoDle
All Are Enthusiastic Over Frospects
for Great Musical Advant
ages for City
To work under the instruction
and leadership of a conductor with
the ability of Mr. Logan is an educa
tion in its self.
An opportunity to sing with 1,000
other voices, including some of the
national artists, accompanied by the
Omaha Symphony Orchestra should
be welcomed by any who like to sing.
John Cloidt, soloist of "the St.
John's choir has this to say "I
think the Choral Union is 100 per
cent. The training one can get will
be helpful not only to choirs but in
future Glee Club work."
Ruth K. Lindsay, director of mus
ic in the local schools is very en
thusiastic. She is not only support
ing with her beautiful voice and
musical ability but has been very
active in having a large number of
high school students participate.
J. K. Pollock: "I have sung the
Messiah before and certainly want
to do so again." Mr. Pollock has at
tended all the rehearsals and is keen
ly interested. .
The fact that there were seventy-
threa present at the last rehearsal
is proof that the project is going
over big. Mr. Logan is very anxious
to have an even 100 voices so if you
have not attended please do so.
Plattsmouth generally puts things
over when the occasion demands and
this will be no exception. We have
plenty of good voices, who haven't
joined, to bring this up to 100. so
come on out next Tuesday at the Li-
braray at 7:30 p. m., and have an
enjoyable and instructive evening.

Thursday and today interfered very
much with the success of the Cass
County fair which is. being held at

the bad weather and the unsettled
road conditions in this part of the
county cut down the attendance to
large extent.
A very large number from " this
city were planning to visit the fair
today for Plattsmouth day but the
rain and roads made it impossible
for the caravan of autos that had
been arranged to carry the crowd,
to make the trip to the big county
exposition.
The fair today was to have fea
tured the parade of live stock, school
floats as well as the Weeping Water

arrangements for the Happy Hundred
suppers, the monthly get together
meetings of the men of the commun

fine modern auto and wagon bridge
which will permit a greater acquain
tanceship between the towns of
Plattsmouth and Glenwood which
while only eight miles apart have
been practically left without any real
acquaintance among the people of
the two communities, but with the
new bridge it will be possible to

! Soldiers Have
Hike from Post
to Range Here
Range Work This Week
' From Friday's Dally
j The c. s rjf le range north of
this citv has hen the ulare of con-
'siderable activity the past week with
some 300 soldiers of the-Seventeenth
.infantry being here to complete
their range work in rifle qualiflca
;tion practice.
The troops comprise Co. B and L
from Fort Crook and Co. I and the
headquarters detachment of the 14th
brigade from Fort Omaha, who were
marched here as a part of their fall
maneuvers and are camped on the
range with the regular field equip
ment. Major E. F. Koenig of Fort Omaha
is in charge of the rifle practice
which opened Wednesday and will
continue over a twelve day period.
Each day during the practice var
ious groups of soldiers, under dif
ferent classifications, will take the
field. The target practice will be
with the large type rifles and at
i the distance of 600 and 900 yards.
I This is the second of the rifle
; shoots held at the range by the regi
ment as in June another battalion
iof the regiment was here for the
'qualifications and made their regu
lar ratings.

rank of lieutenant attached to the
company, is at the range with his
company and getting a touch of sol
diering. Having served in the Phil
ippines, however, the rainy weather
is just like home to Lieutenant Cap
well. MOVE RECEIVES SUPPORT
The proposition of making an
athletic field at the present tourist
nark on Washington avenue Beema
$,Q be meeting with a great deal of
support from many of the residents
or the eltv who have looked into the
matter and realize the necessity of
some prompt action in the securing
of a place for the athletic features of
the school.
The use of the park for the foot
ball and track season will not pre
vent it being used for other purposes
for the present at least and at a later
date other places will be available for
touriBt uses that will be much bet-
ter In every way than the present
i park.
City officials, members of the board
of education and citizens in general
have seen the advantages of allowing
the park to be used for the school
athletics as it is much nearer the
school and also is adjacent to the
