PIATTSMOTTTH SEMI WEEKLT JOTOHAI PAGE THP.TT THURSDAY, JU1T SO, 193 B. vv- ( i i 9 f RESIDENCE BOMLARY INSURANCE $1,000 Costs about $1 per Month Why Take the Chance SEE era 1 Carnival is Drawing Large Crowds Nightly Excellent Shows and Attractions Pro vide Entertainment for Resi dents of Community. The visit of the Gibbs Shows in the city is the first visitation of a carnival group in a number of years and is proving: a popular entertain ment place for those who enjoy the gayety, bustle and stir of the mid way. The shows are all new and attrac tive and carry a very large group of entertainers in various lines that have proven popular with the public in the two nights that they have been showing. Large attractions are the colored minstrel show as well as the Ha waiian show that provide musical acts and dances for the gratification of the crowd. The athletic show is also a feature of the carnival and has drawn a large number of the rport fans to witness the bouts in which local people are pitted against the carnival boxer. Smaller individual shows that have proven popular are the fan dancer, a very clever act, Major White, color ed midget, and the ossified man, the last a real wonder. The t'sual array of riding devices and concessions complete the mid way and the circle of gayety. HEAR TALK ON NAVY A very interesting and out of the ordinary type of program was pre sented at the meeting of the Rotary club Tuesday noon at the Moffitt cafe. The chief feature of the program was the illustrated talk on the United States navy and its various branches of training, presented by Ernest Brown, former Plattsmouth young man, now in the naval recruiting ser vice at Omaha. Mr. Brown had with him a fine array of talking pictures and scenes of the actual training of the sailor and the life on the boats in the ser vice of Uncle Sam. Fine descriptions were given, of the submarine service, one scene showing the rescue of an imprisoned crew in a sub by means of tie tor pedo tubes and also a radio controlled vessel which moved according to the wireless waves in the hands of an operator at a distant point. The air service of the navy was also shown as well as the daily life of the sailor on the battleships, cruisers and other types of the vessels of the fleets. The program was very interesting and gave the members of the Rotary club a fine insight into the activities of this important front line of the national defense along our far-flung coast lines. Red Cross Swimming and Life Saving Closes One of Most Successful in the History of Organization Cli maxed by Water Pageant. More than a tnousand persons from a wide area were spectators at the Water Pageant at the Louisville lake, Sunday, July 26th, which closed the swimming program sponsored by the Cass county chapter, American Red Cross. Under the management or Mrs. R. E. "S orris, Weeping Water, life saving chairman of the chapter and Mr. Loren A. Hnizda, instructor and examiner, more than 700 persons were instructed in swimming during the three weeks swimming program. Over the loud speaker at the begin ning of the water pageant, Mrs. Nor- ris expressed her thanks and appre ciation to those assisting in the in struction and co-operating in making the swimming program successful. She listed all names and with her re marks they become a part of the chapter record. We are sure Mrs. Norris has won the devotion of parents and chil dren for all time by the interest she has taken in their welfare. Especial ly do we wish to mention her out standing work in the rescue from drowning in Merritt's Beach July 12 little Leone Parker of South Omaha, w-ho was cot enrolled in the class but who got into water beyond her depth. In appreciation of the excellent and untiring service Mrs. Norris is volun teering and giving during this swim ming program a 24 unit First Aid Kit was presented to her for her car.

H. Farris, where all enjoyed an excellent service despite the intense heat that prevailed. The young peo ple seem very devoted to their Sun day evening services and are making them a very worth while adjunct to the church services. Three Fishermen Got ... an Eel Last Sunday evening, Earl Ter hune McGinness Churchill and Clarke Churchill went to the river and fished all night, notwithstanding the heat. For their efforts they were rewarded by the catching of ... an eel. The next thing was to know how it should be cooked and none of the group seemed to have any very pronounced ideas on the matter, but they brot their catch to Murray, and we are sure found just the proper way to have it prepared. Has Added to Equipment Dr. R. W. Tyson, having in mind the needs and welfare of his patients, has added a new X-ray machine to his office equipment. It is a portable outfit that can be transported to the place he desires to use it, the only requirement being that electrical ser vice be available to operate the ma chine. He had no more than got it set up ready for operation when a case arose requiring its use. Uncle Joseph Burton suffered a fall, which caused the fracture of his leg and Dr. Tyson took a picture of the injured bones, enabling him to set them with the same precision that could be at tained in the best offices. Suffered Severe Injury "While Uncle Joseph Burton, who has resided in Murray ever since the town was organized and longer in the vicinity, was about his usual ac tivities last Friday, he made a mis step and suffered a severe fall which caused the fracture of one of the bones of his upper leg. While the in jury was very severe. Dr. R. W. Tyson, using the X-ray machine he has just installed, was able to reset the broken bone in perfect shape and the patient is coming along very nicely with but little suffering, al though it will be some time before the injury is entirely well. Jolly Picnic Party Messrs and Mesdames D. C. Rhod en, Victor Wehrbein and Oscar Swanson comprised a merry party who were enjoying the day last Sun day in spite of the extremely hot weather that prevailed, by holding a picnic along the banks of the Mis souri river. They found plenty of shade and as they took along plenty of eats, they made a very pleasant day of it. Purchased Calves at Sale Mrs. A. A. Young was at Syracuse last "Wednesday, attending the com munity sale held there, at which she purchased some calves, which she had brought to their farm near Murray. Monday, Mr. Young went to Omaha to buy two more, and they expect to add a few more later, so they will have something to feed the roughage to, as it looks like there will be no corn again this year, unless rain comes within a very few days, and even then only a very limited amount will be harvested. "Knot Em Up" Club The meeting scheduled for July 14 was postponed because of the hot weather, being held on July 21, at Stastka's. The meeting was called to order by the vice president on ac count of the absence of the president. The secretary was also absent, so the minutes of the last meeting and the roll call were dispensed with. Pamphlets were distributed and discussed. The meeting was then ad journed. "We learned to do the long splice. Mrs. Stastka served a delicious lunch of sandwiches and grape juice. The next meeting will be held at the home of Everett Spangler on August 4.
