Col Phil L. Hall of Greenwood. New
Head of Lincoln Post of Vet

The following is the address de
livered by Col Phil L. Hall of Green
Wood, before the Charles A. Fraley
Post of the Veterans of Foreign Wars
at the installation at Lincoln on
which occasion he took the otBce of
commander.
Tonight, and for the next two days
the Nebraska Bankers Association
wlil be- in session in Omaha. This
organization is made up of the Na
tional and State bankers of Nebras
ka. Tonight there will be what is
known as the Past Presidents' Din
ner at the Fontcnelle Hotel. There
will be two vacant chairs that I
know of, one the chair of my father,
who was president of that organiza
tion and who has gone to the great
beyond; and the other is my chair.
My chair will be vacant for one rea
son, and that reason is that I can
not discharge the debt of gratitude
that I owe to the members of Char
les A. Fraley Post for the high honor
you h;;ve so generously bestowed up
on me.
We are gathered here to install
your new officers for the ensuing
year.
Each year the duties of the Ex
Service Mens organizations and pat
riotic societies are becoming more
and more burdened with responsi
bilities. As the years roll by since
the trying days of the World war
the public mind is gradually being
swayed away from the debt that it
owes to those who made the supreme
under arms are included in this call.
We must have leadership in our pub
lic offices; men whom we can trust
to foresee and forestall national and
state calamities, such as panics, un
employment, graft and crime. It is
up to every Ex-Service man in the
Nation to apruin "Snap Into that
cadence, (that one-two-three-four)
that moved four million men as one
individual, co-ordinating and co
operating for one purpose, and that
purpose was to win the war; to cre
ate a victory that would let the world
wnow that the United States of Am
erica still throbs with devotion and
patriotism.
This Post of the Veterans of For
eign Wars was named after Charles
A. Fraley. a man who gave his life
at Cheaumont. France, that you and
I and every other American citizen
might enjoy the privilege of being
a part of a Republic whose flag is
loved while others are feared; a Re
public where every citizen is a sov
ereign, but no one wears a crown.
As your new Commander. I am
going to issue my fir.-t command; and
that command will be a charge to
every member cf this organization;
and that charge will be to conduct
yoursflf as a one hundred per cent
American citizen. sr that by your
example you will remind the public
teat although foreign nations are
paying us a debt caused by the War.
we as a people owe a debt cf devot
ion to the Disabled Veterans and the
widows and orphans of the war, and
every consideration should be shown
the unemployed Ex-Service men.

Concrete Workers Following Close
Behind Pile Driver Laying
Reinforced 20-Ft. Floor
By the end of the week all of the
piling will have been driven for
Louisville's splendid new auto bridge
across the Platte river. The hundreds
of visitors who have watched the
progress of the construction of this
bridge marvel at the rapid progress
of the work as done by the Omaha
Steel Works, the contractors in
charge. The neatness and durability
of the structure elicit much favorable
comment on the part of everyone.
Very little time has been lost on ac
count of bad weather and the small
array of workmen have been able to
work almost every day since the con
struction work was begun.
Following closely upon the heels
of the pile driver crew is another
crew that finishes as it goes, put
ting on the heavy reinforced cement
floor, erecting the banisters, etc., so
that within a very short time the
public will be able to cross and re
cross the Platte in safety without
fear of getting into a traffic jam.

From Saturday's Dairy
Burlington Railroad forces have
united in a system-wide relief move
ment for the benefit of the road's
former employes who may be in
temporary need, now or later on, due
to the unemployment situation.
Officers of the road and representa
tives of all departments met in Chi
cago yesterday and formed an emer
gency relief organization which is
to function immediately through a
Central Committee headed by vice
president, E. P. Bracken, together
with regional committees comprised
of division superintendents, store
keepers and master mechanics, and
local sub-committees appointed in
every city and town on the railroad.
To an Emergency Benefit Fund,
each of the 38,000 individuals in
the Burlington service will be offer
ed an opportunity and solicited to
pledge a voluntary contribution in
money each month between now and
the first of May 19.11. such contri
butions to be deducted from salary
or wages, and utilized for the pur
chase of lood. clothing, fuel, or other
requirements of the unemployed or
their families.
In order that the most beneficial
results may be realized, the local
committees on all parts of the rail
road are authorized and expected to
take immediate relief action in de
serving cases.
The movement has the full sup-
' port of the Burlington management,
land the facilities of its commissary,
j store, purchasing and medical de
! partments will be used in "seeing
ithrough" all members of the Bur
i li lgton family who may be in need
of aid, until employment conditions
I improve.

From Friday's Dally
Last evening the pleasant country
home of Mrs. Herman F. Gansemer
west of Mynard was the scene of a
very delightful gathering of young
people in honor of the twenty-first
birthday anniversary of Ralph E.
Gansemer, the occasion being a sur
prise arranged by Mrs. Gansemer.
The event was one of the rarest
pleasure and the members of the
party passed the evening in cards
and dancing at which diversions a
great deal of enjoyment was derived.
In honor of the event the guest of
honor received a number of very
I beautiful gifts to remind him of the

It is a false security builded upon
the patriotic effort made by those

of the farm still in the field and
which it was necessary for her to
her to have gathered and placed in
the cribs.
This problem which was a real
task of Mrs. Wallinger in her sor
row stricken condition, was solved
yesterday by the friends and neigh
bors residing in the community be
tween South Bend and Ashland.
Early yesterday morning men and
teams commenced to arrive at the
Wallinger farm and by the hour
when the shucking could be started,
there was assembled eighty men and
forty-two teams and the work of
gathering in the corn crop started.
The field was filled with the men
and teams and the sound of the corn
ears falling in the wagons was like
a great hail storm over a period of
several hour.-, the men keeping two
elevators busy in handling the 3.000
bushels of corn as it was brought in.
The ladies of the community, some
twenty-one in number, arrived later
in the morning with baskets of the
good things to eat and which at the
noon hour when the corn was all
gathered furnished a fine banquet and
at which the shuckers. apnetites
whetted by the work of the morning
found a real feast awaiting them.
This was a splendid demonstra
tion and neighborly feeling and one
that certainly will long be pleasant
ly remembered by the Wallinger
family.
Among those who at the event
were Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Becker of
this city, the latter an aunt of the
late Mr. Wallinger.

SILVER CITY STORES ROBBED
The town of Silver City in Mills
county, north of Glenwood. had an
other visitation from a gang of burg
lars and robbers on Wednesday and
which looted four of the stores of
that place and realized a very large
amount of goods but not a great deal
of money.
The F. W. Anderson general store,
which was robbed less than a week
ago, was again the target of the oper
ations of the robbers and here they
made away with a large amount of
goods, ammunition, cigars, silk un
uerwear and hose being among the
main articles taken.
The robbers knocked off the com
bination of the safe in the Carlson
garage and took $12 in cash while
at the Pickenpaugh pool hall they
secured $13 in cash for their trouble.
While at the T. J. Talboy drug
store the robbers aroused Mr. Tal
boy, sleeping in the rear of the store,
who frightened them away and they
fled, leaving a flashlight and a taped
hammer in their flight.
