A JOLLY CROWD IS
ENTERTAINED AT THE

Ono of lio delightful social
'V-nls of til- summer si'iisim was
licit! lat vt-ninir at the cozy Ihuiic
of Mr. ami Mrs. denize Dmitri' on
South Sixth street, when they a 1 1 1
their daughter, Miss Violet, very
pleasantly entertained the young
Iieople of this city who spent their
acation for the past two years at
I.oretta, Minn. 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.

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

clared the critic of the Duluth
Evening Herald in reviewing I be
performance of the attraction,

laughing success of recent years.
Credit is due alike to the author,

without sullying the fair stream
with the filth of vulgarity.

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.

FUTURE BUSI
NESS VS. GL1R

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. St. Louis Furni-

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,

condition caused by the European
war has made it impossible to

siderable magnitude," the peti-

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
