II "GOOD ROADS" KING DREW A LARG E CROWD SATURDAY Farmers and Townspeople Were Here From the Remotest Sec tions of the County. been expected, and more, l, arid will no doubt result in working up a stronger sentiment than ever in favor of road improvements and in the end prove of great lienefil iii that direction. Those of the Commercial club wild labored so incessantly to bring about thin meeting deserve great credit and I to- people of Cass county owe Mr. I. Ward King a dcld of gratitude fur his instructive and interesting ad dress on this occasion. ELMWOOD. Leader-Echo. h-k-h 0 TFiWW DC 3C 3C Last, Saturday wax indeed a Red Letter Hay fur Plait smoot h. For two weeks the. Commercial club had madw a big effort to have everyone in Cans county who Is interested in good roads to come out and hear I). Ward King of Missouri tell them the proper way to make good roads and keep them good. And to say their ef forts were greatly rewarded but half tells the, tale. Long, before noon fanners, road overseers, merchants and business men from Other towns began to arrive in the City, many coming in on the early morning trains; others in auto mobiles, in carriages, buggies and otherwise, and by 2 o'clock there was one, of the largest crowds in Plaltsmouth there has been for a long time. And they came to hear the "Hood Iloads" King, too. The meeting was advertised to lake place at the Parmele theater, hut for some reason or other a change was made to the district court room in the court house, and bills announcing this change were printed and circulated about noon. The M. W. A. band paraded up and down Main street a short lime before the meeting and play Vd several selections in front of the court house. While the court room was filled to its utmost capacity with people eager to hear Mr. King, the crowd on the Streets seemed to not have vanished in the least. It is a bard proposition to induce people to go to the court house for any public entertainment, and we believe a great big mistake was made In removing the meeting from the Parmele theater, as originally ad vertised. . Tin t let this be as it may, those who were more directly interested in good roads were there, and were paid well for their trouble in coming a long distance to bear ' Mr. King. The sneaker is a gentleman of pleasing address and the attention paid to him demonstrated that those in at .tendance were them to hear any suggestion advanced that would Bid in making good roads in Cass county. Mr. King (old his nudl enre many ways in which I bey could better the condition of the roadways, but is partial to road drags, and endeavored to impress Upon the. minds of his hearer that the constant use of the same during the propitious seasons of (he year, yet at the same lime the drag wouldn't do it all. Take it, all in all, Mr. King's address was all (hat. could possibly be expected. He demonstrated (o a dead moral certainly that his suggest ion were (hose of a gentleman who had had great experience in road improvement, and that he is a practical man in this line of busi ness. Mr. King is a pleasant talker and deeply impressed the people present with the fact that he knew what he was talking about, and all went away feeling that they were well paid for (heir rouble "f coming many miles to hear his address. . There were people here from nearly every nook and corner of Cass county. The vicinity of Ne havvka sent, in a large delegation. There were eight , or ten auto mobile loads from Nehawka and Vicinity, which showed that they( Wanted to learn all that was pos sible to know about making roads, notwithstanding the roadways (hat lead into Nehawka for mile in every direction are the best In any part of Otoe or Cass counties. Mr. C. C. Parmele deserves con siderable credit in getting the large delegation here from Ne hawka. There were also farmers here from the vicinities of Weep ing Water. Louisville, I'nion, Murray, Hock Muffs, Cedar Creek, and, in fact, every locality in the county was represented. After the meeting the farmer gathered in squads and discussed Mr. King's .speech. Many of (hem thought it was the best they ever heard on the road question, while others differed wild-some of Mr. King's suggestions. This is natural, for we believe we have some good road builders in Cass County. Among them are Uncb Ben lleckman and George S. Hay both of whom believe in the road drag, but they say there i con siderable work lo do in preparing (he roads before the drag I put in use. Hut Mr. King's address was all that could possible have JUNIOR GERMAN GLASS ENJOYS PICNIC AT BRIDGE Chaperoned by Their Teacher, Miss Johnson, They Repair to the Banks of the Missorl. The members of the, Junior (ierman class of the High school wended their way lo tho vicinity of the Uiirlington bridge, east of this city, last evening, and enjoy ed a most delightful outing, as well as a luncheon in picnic style, out in the open air. They were chaperoned by Miss Johnston, and all report a tine outing. Upon their arrival on the picnic grounds an immense camp fire was made, not for the purpose of roasting weinies, but merely foi the sake of having an open fire and something out of the ordin ary. A most appetizing picnic lunch, consisting of sandwiches, pickles, ice cream, cake, fruit and candies, was spread on the green on the banks of the old Missouri and then all gathered about the festive lorest table. When the attack of enormous appetites had been made on the picnic lunch it disappeared almost instantly and soon was nothing but a memory The remainder of the evening was delightfully spent in various outdoor sports. An egg race was participated in, Wayne Propst be ing the winner. Other outdoor 'amusements were indulged in and it was almost 9 o'clock when the merry Junior Herman class fc 1 timed to (heir homes, having thoroughly enjoyed (he outing. The members of the class par ticipating in Ibis enjoyable out ing were: Misses Anna Wohl farlh, Adelia White, Anna iiein rich, Elizabeth Campbell, Katie Foster, Alma Holly, Mollio Cod win, Tressa Droege; Messrs Wayne l'ropsl, Hen Fran, Vance Todd and Guy Wiles.

Dr. Neely's little babe has been critically ill for several days, fol lowing a complication of measles with pneumonia. A. V. Wollen'9 oldest boy is also suffering from the same trouble. C. fi. Hailey started plowing corn last Monday. Plowing corn on the 15th of May is a little un common for this part of the country, but the stand in this case is in elegant shape and Mr. Hailey can well feel proud of it. Hoy Hoover left Monday for the west. A card was received from lim stating that he was in Den ver, and Jumer Deltman left Wednesday to join him at that place. We would infer that the )oys are bent on seeing a little of the western country. n Injured at Shops. This morning while at work on a way car in the local shops (ieorge llrasky had the misfor tune to gel his left hand badly crushed and one linger on his right hand mashed. Mr. Ilrashky and Joe Lahoda bad a way car jacked up about eighteen inches when the jacks gave way, the way car falling on Mr. Ilrashky's hand catching the second, third am fourth lingers and ma.shing them as above stated. It is uncertain whether one of the lingers will or will not lie amputated. Mr Ilrashky came up town as soon as lie could and Or. Livingston dressed the injured hand and will be many days before Mr Ilrashky can use his hand. At the Parmele Tonight. Hemeniber the Majestic Slock company at (he Parmele (heater tonight.

Will Osenkop brought quite a curiosity to town Saturday, in the shape of an -animal which is a stranger in this part of the coun try. Most of those who looked at it pronounced it an armidillo. Will found it in his straw stack. E. R. Arisoh, who some lime ago was discharged from the state hospital at Lincoln, was taken back to that place Saturday. For several weeks he has been grow ing worse and Friday his actions became such that Marshall Stout placed him in the village jail un til the proper authorities could be notified.
