Plenty of amuse ment was derived in relating and listening to the various ex periences encountered at this popular summer resort, and of course a portion of the time was devoted to looking at the snap shots taken last year, and this brought to mind the many good times they had while there. Dur ing the evening some pleasing vocal and instrumental selections were given by different members of the company, which greatly as sisted in making the occasion a most enjoyable one. At an ap propriate hour a dainty luncheon was provided by the hostesses. Tt was quite late when the guests dispersed, declaring Mr. and Mrs. Dodge and daughter. Miss Violet, splendid entertainers. Those in attenance were: Misses Verna Halt, Edna Petersen, Jessie and Delia Moore, Messrs. Henry Coos, Cenrge Weidman, Paul Wohl fa'rth and Ed Sehulhof. (QPp Hoc I ING TO INSISTENT AUTO SPEEDERS You Must Keep Within Bounds of the Speed Ordinance or There Will Bo "Something Doing." The habit of making the public streets of the city speedways where the automobiles are run at a reckless gait must stop, as the police committee of the city conn cil has instructed the oflieers to proceed with enforcing the ordin ances and laws covering the driv ing of automobiles in the city limits of Plattsmoulh. The police will at once get busy in compliance with their instructions and will trv and see that the speeding habit is slopped. There has been a great deal of complaint made to the councilmen in the past, few months in regard In the habit of speeding and the members of that body have de cided to take some steps to stop it at once. Last season there was a great deal of controversv arous- d over the enforcement of the aulumobile regulation law here ni the city council went half way in setting a speed regulation that was approved f by most of the auto owners, but some seem de termined to go the limit on the rate of speed at which they travel and will compel the police and ouncil to again get busy. The lrivers of cars who do not light up their lamps when it becomes dark will also be taken in by the police if they do not comply with the law, and this move is certain ly a good one, as there are a large number of cars driven through the streets and along the country i-oads without the lamps that they should have. There has been much complaint from automobile owners and nt hers as to the habit of some cars running without the proper lights and several times there has been narrow escapes from collisions on the dusty roads because of the fact that cars were not provided with red lights lit, and it is to prevent further accidents of this kind that the council has decided lo insist on the law covering these matters be enforced by the oflieers. It is probable that the efforts of tin police will bring forth loud protests, but the safety of the public and the recklessness of the drivers has forced the mat ter where such a step has become necessary. A THOUSAND LAUGHS AND NO BLUSHES IN "THE BRIGHTON GIRL "There are a thousand and one laughs ami not a single blush in 'The iirl From Brighton as played by Millon Schuster and his (iraces of Musical Comedy," de clared the critic of the Duluth Evening Herald in reviewing I be performance of the attraction, which will hold forth at the Par mele theater on Monday night, August 31. It is in fact the big laughing success of recent years. Credit is due alike to the author, Claude II. Long, and the star for that rare ability to provide one constant Niagara of laughter without sullying the fair stream with the filth of vulgarity. DANCE SATURDAY.

Shine has returned from his extended trip through the east during the last few months, and during which time lie visited at all the important, sees of the Catholic church in the east including Baltimore, the home of Cardinal ("Jibbons. Father Shine is feeling much improved" in health and returned ready to resume his duties at the church, greatly re freshed by his vacation. SUPERINTENDENT BROOKS RETURNS FROM THE EAST AND IS FEELING FINE Superintendent, of City Schools V. (i. Brooks has just returned home from New York City, where he was attending the summer school of Columbia university, and is looking as line as usual af ter the strenuous summer school work. The superintendent is tak ing a special course at the east ern school in the work of the handling of the ollice of superin tendent of school work and has only another season's work to complete the course, lie believes in keeping up with the times in the handling of the position which lie holds and the city schools of Plattsmoulh will receive the benefit of his careful study that will enable them to advance along all lines as far as the limited facilities of the school will per mit. The taking of the summer course at Columbia allows onlv a diort rest for the superintendent tefore the opening of the school year and most of this time will be taken up in the consideration of plans for the coming year, which will open early in Septem ber. dp city ridi c nnMinin IILIII UIIILU UUMIII1U WITH A BIG MUSICAL ORGANIZATION ""A dozen or more of the pick of the garden of pulochritude," is the way in which the genial advance epresentatives of Milton Schuster and his (iraces of Musical Com- fdy describes the ladies of the chorus, which is a big feature with The Cirl From Brighton," which lolds forth at the Parmele theater n Monday night, August 31. Al most every nationality is rep resented in the bouquet of loveli ness surrounding the favorite Jew- comedian. Half of the chorus calls the good old United States home, while France, Germany, Italy, Norway and England have their representatives. American and French girls make the ablest per formers declares the interest in citer. The average age of the choristers is 17, placing this de partment of the big organization in the poultry class. Don't forget the date Monday night, Aug ust 31. AUGUST- GLOIOT'S NEW HOME IS RAPIDLY NEARING COMPLETION The new cottage of August Cloidt on High School Hill is rapidly nearing completion and will in a short time be ready for occupancy, as the work is all ready to start in on the varnish ing and finishing of the woodwork of the house. This will make a very nice addition to the resi dences on High School Hill and makes this section of the city a locality of handsome and modern homes. The new house consists of a building of the bungalow de sign, with six large and well ar ranged rooms that will make a very handsome and comfortable home for Mr. and Mrs. Cloidt. The work on the building is being 'done by the firm of Peters & Richards, who have had charge of the erect ing of a large number of the resi dences in this city in the past few years. The enterprise of our citizens in erecting new homes here in Plattsmoulh has in the past few years greatly aided in the advancement of the city and its interests.

GL1R 1 The Whole Truth of the Matter Is No One Person or Persons Are Criterions for All. The newspapers are just, now full of discussions of busine conditions. There are jubilant reports of prospective bumpei crops. There are trplimistc ut terances concerning pending legislation that is expected to helj the railroad systems. There art assurances from men of authority in various industries that business s going to be good, but on Hit other hand, there are those who feel disposed to discount all promises of industrial prosperity anil whose general opinion of business prospects is summed uj as "fair to worse." The whole truth of the mallei really is that no one man's opinion or the opinion of any one group of manufacturers or anv one in dustry is in any sense a criterion for all. Industrial disturbance. which interfere with anv singb industry are bound in a sense, di rectly or indirectly, to interfer with all and in like manner tin unusual prosperity of any one in dustry results in widespread benefit which eventually reaches practically all; but because one man's buisncss has fallen away or because uie progress or anv single industry has been less in the last few months it is no iu- lication that the countrv is going o the dogs. The great drawback in many ines of business has been a lack of appreciation of changing con ditions. They are out of adjust ment with the times. When the merchant has made up his mind to issort his stocks in small quan tities it is usually for the jobber f the manufacturer to refuse to lo business except in case lots. Quantity contracts for an entire eason, which formerly were the ule in many lines of business, are ieeoming more and more rare, and in their stead it is the stnall- ot order with frequent repeats, t is useless to argue the ad vantage to all concerned of the quantity order. If Mr. Merchant does not choose to buy in your way, the only thing to do is to sell i i tu according to his own plan, ind strange as this may seem, one can go over the business world to day and pick out failure afler fail ure which has come about simply through the refusal to meet new lusiness conditions. In the business world generally there are far too many Mieawbers "waiting for something to turn up." The waiting field is tilled to verflowing and when something does turn up there is never enough o go around. The men in the firm or the industry that gets there, that pulls out a satisfactory busi ness in the hard-limes season as well as during good times, is the one that goes out and turns up something and when it is turned up in this way is surprised to find iow little competition there is in the field. The railroad rate question will ie settled after a while. The wheat crop and the cotton crop and all the other .crops will be garnered in due time and the re sulting prosperity will be dis tributed, but in the meantime, ight now, today there are new customers to be won, new busi ness to be found and new records to be achieved, retail as well as wholesale, for the man who will get out and dig.

ATTEMPT TO EUROPE FAILS In Consequence of Which the Mis souri Pacific Will Begin a Policy of Retrenchment. IWscussioits (,f wai effect on the transportation interests of the country have been voluminous and have shown varying opinions. One thing, however, not open lo liscussion is the fact that less money will be spent by the roads to build up their properties and lit them for the better care of future growth in trallic. Mete is one item that shows the trend of the times: "The attempt of the Missouri Pacific management to gel funds in Europe having failed, the road will begin a policy of retrench ment. President Bush has jusl returned from a trip to Europe. Even though war bad not been declared, he said there would have been slight hone of lloal ing merican railway securities in Europe. Accordingly, arrange ments for the expenditure next year of S J, 00, 000 on improve ments have been dropped." What is true of the Missouri Pacitic is true of other roads in various degrees. Even those roads prosperous enough lo pro vide their maintenance and bet terment funds from earnings are planning to skimp next year. Willi the better class of roads this will not mean such skimping as will impair the service, but it may mean failure to provide better facilities for future growth of traffic. Another instance of the effect of the war is the recent announce ment that the reorganization of the Kansas City. Mexico & Orient has been hailed and that it will In impossible for at least two years to come to begin the constru lion of the proposed extension of that system from "Wichita to Kan sas City. The retrenchment of the Mis souri Pacific will be felt in Ae- iraska, where during the past three years that company has spent a great deal of money and where it had plans lo spend a 2 real, deal more in I he years to come. The resale of the Chicago and Milwaukee Electric railway, ordered bv the United States cir cuit court of appeals, was post poned for six months by Federal Judge Oeiger on trie motion ol Master in Chancery Charles Mor- ison. "The present financial condition caused by the European war has made it impossible to finance any proposition of con siderable magnitude," the peti- ioner stated.

JOHN DEERE IRON CLAD WAGONS Are the Acme of Wagon Construction. Perfectly balanced, correctly built of the best 'wood stock the market affords, and a wagon superior to all others in point of individuality and general appearance. We also have the famous DAVENPORT All Steel, Roller Bearing. This wagon has a capacity cf 5,000 lbs., where'the ordinary farm wagon has a capacity of 3,500 to 4,500. Also, thi? wagon is guaranteed to last longer than any other -vagon of similar capacity. The draft reduction by use of the Davenport Wagon is from 30 to 50 per cent. This means that it is possible to handle, under ordinary conditions, nearly one half as much more with the same team of horses, than can be handled on the ordinary wagon. We also emphasize the fact that the roller bearings on this wagon are guaranteed indefinitely, and we will re place, free of charge, any parts that you may break at any time. Don't forget when you arei n the market for a wagon that the Davenport Roller Bearing Wagon is 30 to 50 per cent, lighter draft than any ordinary farm wagon G.
