THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 2. 1913. PAGE 2. PLATTSMOUTH SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL. TEACHERS' IN STITUTE IS A GREAT SUCCESS One Hundred and Thirty Registered, and Work of the Institute Is Progressing Nicely. From Tuesday's Daily. The Cass County Teachers' In stitute is now on in full swing and gives promise of being one of the best that has ever been held here, both in the point of attendance and interest shown in the splendid series of lectures and addresses that are be ing given in connection with the in stitute work- Already 130 teachers have registered at the office of County Superintendent Miss Eda Marquardt, and every indication points to the in stitute being a great success in every way. Last evening a public reception was held at the Elks' club in honor of the visitors, and the beautiful home of the Plattsmouth lodge of the Elks was well filled with a large number of the teachers, as well as the citizens of Plattsmouth. who took advantage of the occasion to visit with the teach ers. A short and very pleasant pro gram was given during the evening, consisting of several numbers by the male quartet, consisting of Messrs. Brooks, Cloidt, York and Seivers, which was thoroughly enjoyed and ap preciated, while Mrs. E. II. Wescott gave a most delightful solo, and her splendid voice proved a pleasing feat ure of the evening's entertainment. The reception was held in the lodge room of the Elks, where the large crowd was enteitained for several hours. During the evening delicious refreshments were served by a bevy of young ladies, through the courtesy of the Commercial club, which had provided the refreshments. Yesterday afternoon former County Superintendent C. S. Wortman. now of Claremore, Oklahoma, gave a short talk along the lines of educational work in his state, as well as in Ne braska, when he was county superin tendent. This morning Rev. J. H. Steger, at the opening hour of the institute, gave a short talk on "Who Is an Ameri can?" and he pointed out the re sponsibility of the teachers in the training of the coming American citi zens. Another of the pleasing features of the institute work was given this morning when L. T. Skinner of the extension department of the univer sity school of agriculture gave a demonstration of the Boys' and Girls' club work. This is not a fad or ex periment, but a practical, helpful service, and thirtj' people in Nebraska devoted their full time to the ex tension work, and three of these were in the boys and girls department. The work, as stated by Mr. Skinner, was to interest and help the boys and girls to study things at home to study why or reason of certain operations. Mr. Skinner pointed out the success of the corn growing contest among the young people of the state and the advantages secured by this ten-ear contest, which attracted a great deal of attention from the young men and women of the state. The basis of judging the corn was: First, quantity of product; second, quality; third, profit, study of the business side of farming; fourth, story of the season's work. In support of the success of the extension work Mr. Skinner show ed where there were 0,000 boys and girls interested this year as against 2.20O last year. Mr. Skinner stated that in the contests the county unit had been found much more satisfac tory than that of the state, owing to the different variations of rainfall in the east and west and the difference in the soil3 of the different sections of the tsate and the length of the sea sons which made the west part of the season shorter than the eastern sec tion. There were both boys and girls in the corn club work, Mr. Skinner stated, and in Chase county, Lucy Pierce, a 13-year-old girl, had won the prize for two years. This evening at 8 o'clock B. E. Mc Proud will speak on "The Individual in the Making" at the Methodist church, to which everyone is invited. Following the address of Mr. Skin ner at the High school auditorium Mr. II. E. McReynolds of Pipestone, Minn., gave a short talk on the Indian school work in that section. Tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 at the High school. Attorney C. A. Rawls will speak on "The Functions of Govern ment." FOR SALE OR RENT Modern 7 roora brick house, corner Main and . Eighth streets. T. H. POLLOCK. WANTED School girls to room and ' board.

This mornir g while Dewey Bnttain, one of the employes in the Burlington shops, was stooping down to pick up some scrap in the shop yard, he was so unfortunate as to have his head come in contact with a large bolt, thrown by on.; of his fellow workmen while he was scraping a switch stand, and the missl.j inflicted a rather pain ful injury on the left side of his head just below the temple. It required one stitch in the wound and the young man will not suffer any serious results from the injury. Ethel, the little daughter of Sheriff and Mrs. C D. Quinton, Saturday aft ernoon while playing on the court house lawn, fell from the large cannon and received a scalp wound that re quired the attention of a surgeon and one stitch was taken in the head and the little girl is getting along fine and experiencing but little inconven ience as a result of the accident. SERIOUS ACCIDENT NORTHEAST OF PA CIFIC JUNCTION From Tuesday's Pallr. A very serious accident occurred yesterday morning at the farm home of A. F. Saar, a half mile northeast of Pacific Junction, when Walter, tha little 6-year-old son of Mr. Saar. had both hands badly lacerated by a pully on a hay carrier which was being used to operate the unloading of a quantity of hay. It is supposed the little boy, while playing around the carrier, had his hand caught and it was drawn up to the pulley, where one finger on the left hand was almost severed and the whole inside of the right hand lacerat ed in a terrible manner, as the flesh was torn off and only the ligaments were left in the hand. The cries of the little boy attracted the father and he was released from where he was caught, but the lacerations inflicted had been most severe. Dr. L. B. Bacon of Pacific Junction was called, and ar riving at the Saar home feared that it might be necessary to remove the hand of the little lad and he was brought here to the office of the l)rs. Livingston, where the lacerated finger was removed and the injured hand dressed and all possible done to fave the left hand, which, howeevr, is in bad shape and it will be a few days before it is fully determined whether it can be saved. The little boy wa-; taken home after the operation to be caied for until his injuries are healed. HOME CHAPTER 0, E. S. ENJOY ANNUAL PIG- NIC LAST From Wednesday's Dally. The members of Home chapter, Order of Eastern Star, last evening enjoyed their annual picnic and the occasion was a most gala one and nearly one hundred members were present to take part in the pleasant event. Owing to the coolness of the weather it was necessary to hold the jolly event at the banquet hall of the Masonic temple and here the well laden tables were spread and the members of the order gathered around to take part in the festal occasion that has become one of the annual events of the Eastern Star lodge in this city. There was everything that could be desired in the way of dainties and the ladies spent several hours most pleasantly in the delights of the banquet. Miss Clara Weyrich, worthy matron of the lodge, presided over the feast, and a most delightful time was enjoyed by everyone present. After the conclusion of the banquet the ladies spent some time in visiting and having a general good time among themselves, as is always the case in gatherings of this great Masonic sis terhood. The banqeut hall was very tastefully decorated with bouquets of asters in their bright beauty, which lent a pleasing touch to the appear ance of the room, and with the jolly party assembled around the banquet board made a scene that will long be pleasantly remembered. Quite a num ber of the members from out of the city were present, including Miss Elsie Taylor, Mrs. L. R. Upton and Mrs. W. B. Banning of Union and Mrs. S. Ray Smith of Weeping Water. CASTOR I A For Infints and Children In Use For Over 30 Years Always bears the Signature of 7 - INTERESTING LETTER RECEIVED FR0S11 CANADA Which Gives a Glowing Description of the Beautiful Scenery in the Various Localities. From Wednesday's Dally. Banff, Alta., August 27. Dear Friends of the Journal, from the Colonel to Faithful Abe: I have just read Saturday's (August 21st), copy of the Daily forwarded to me by Hilt in which you publish a very interesting letter from Burton Young, describing some of the identical ter ritory I am now covering through the Canadian Rockies, and I want to sup port his statement that here is some of the grandest scenery in the world. I have met tourists who have visited Switzerland, the Alps and the scenic wonders of the globe, but right here on our northern borders, they claim, is scenery that excels them all. Our own Colorado Rockies are grand, but here you find not only the Rockies, but the Selkirks, the Cascades and others as well, all piled in together. One thing that differentiates these from the Colorado mountains is the abund ance of timber and verdure that clothes them below timber line. Some of them look as though, they had fair ly been rolled in green, and then at the top appears the multi-colored rocks capped with snow and ice, which glisten in the sunlight. I don't like to boast about a foreign road, but the Canadian Pacific is certainly a giant of transportation. This system girdles the world. It not only operates a trans-continental railway which is double-tracked most of the way, but trans-Pacific and trans-Atlantic steamships, hence you can buy a ticket around the world on its system. Not only this, but at Vancouver, Banff, Calgary, Winnepeg and Mon treal it owns and operates hotels that are unexcelled even in our own United States. The one at Van Couver is said to have cost ?-.0(.0.000. and the one here, located up in the mountains overlooking the Bow river falls in the most picturesque spot imaginable, cost $2,000,000. You would hardly expect to take a six-horse coach drive up into the mountains and find a modern hostelry like that perched up. or rather spread out, on the mountain side. Every appointment and con venience that modern construction knows is found here, and add to that the marvelous scenic location and you have an ideal spot for the wealthy tourist. Traveling through Canada you realize before long that you have crossed the border and are in a differ ent land. Instead, of the good old Stars and Stripes you see the British flag flying from every staff; you find the terms. ' Dominion" and "Royal" and ' Kings' and "Princes" applied to hotels and companies, etc. You soon find a lot of Dominion change in your pocket, which is not unlike ours only that it appears to be thinner and lighter. The 5-cent piece is smaller and lighter than our dime, in fact it's hard enough to hanr onto a nickel in the states, but it's doubly hard up hero. I have not seen a Canadian silver dollar it's all ?1 bills. The messages and train orders up here are all written on a sort of a blue paper, in contrast to our own R. R. yellow. Everybody up here turns to the left. All street cars and traf fic go down on the left side and come up on the right side of the street, which is directly opposite to our way. Up here in the mountains there are very few autos to besure, but any number of horses. Everything is tally-ho and coaches and high built bug gies. The people are very sociable in their way, but they hardly ever smile. I think perhaps this is characteristic, but may be due in part to the serious ness of the great struggle which is upon the kingdom. The reality of a great war is borne in upon stranger and native alike. Every post can!, every letter, every ticket, in fact, nearly every instrument that issues must carry a war tax. Every news boy cries latest war news, and you can imagine it is eagerly read when you realize that nearly every home in Canada has contributed some stalwart son or father to the supreme sacrifice. Every train you ride on has some soldier boys either going to the front or going into the training camps.. In the towns and cities you notice the absence of young men on the streets and in the stores and shops, as they call them here. One of the young ladies in the dining room this "morn ing, in talking about it, said very soberly and even sadly: "All the young men in our crowd have gone to the war." It was no faraway affair to her, but a stern reality the good times and the fun were gone and life had taken on a sober aspect. I could write of many other things : that have impressed me in this neigh bor land, but have not the time, and furthermore this letter is already too long. With all its scenery and novelty Canada cannot compare with the United States in solid prosperity, al though the grain yield of western Canada is one of the best in years. If you cannot read this hurried writ ing, turn it over to Tommy; he is used to deciphering my advertising copy. Sincerely. C. C. Wescott. INGLE AND NEPHEW MEET FOR FIRST TIME IN OVER FIFTY YEARS From Wednesday's Daily. C. A. Harvey of this city has just had the pleasure of a visit from his uncle, K. J. Harvey, of Charles City, Iowa, which gave these two gentlemen the opportunity of visiting for the first time in fifty years, and the oc casion was one of the rarest pleasure to both of them. It was at the close of the civil war in 18rt3 that they last met. and while not a great ways apart have not been able to get into touch with each other until a few days ago, whfii the uncle carre over to pay the long-desired visit to Mr. Harvey. At the time they last met the two gentle men were IT, and 21 years of age, and E. J. Harvey had just returned home from service in the union army, and when they met here this week the hair of both were touched with silver which time had placed upon them, but they are still both very active and en joyed the visit very much. PLEASANT EVENT AT THE FRANK STEPPAT HOME LAST SUNDAY Fnm Wednesday's Dallv.

''' ' TEAGHERS'INSTF TUTE IS VERY SUCCESSFUL Registration Reaches the 130 Mark, and the Teachers Taking Great Interest in the -Work. The Teachers' Institute in this city is each day showing a greater increase in the interest and the results secured from it will be the best that have so far ben achieved from any of the county institutes held. The force of instructors, including as it does a number of the most able in the west, lias afforded a great opportunity to the teachers to gather inspiration and helpfulness in their work in 'the education of the youth of the county. Miss Mary Ellen Brown, of the Uni versity of Nebraska College of Agri culture; Prof. Bertram Everett Mc Proud, professor of education at the South Dakota State college, Brook ings; Miss Marie Kaufmann, superin tendent of penmanship of the Platts mouth city schools; Wiley Glenn Brooks, superintendent of the city schools, and County Attorney A. G Cole, who each day gives a short talk on the school law of the state. Th work of Prof. McProud in geography trrammar. physiology, personal and school hygiene, has been one of th most pleasing features of the institute work and one that has been followed closely by the teachers, a well as the visitors. The registration of the institute has reached the 150 mark and there wil be several additional teachers to regis ter before the week is closed, and with the visitors present the average at tendance is close to 200 at the session of the institute. l esterday President C lemmons o the Fremont State Normal was pres ent and addressed the teachers for few minutes in a most pleasing man ner, and yesterday afternoon at th High school auditorium Attorney C A.
