GASOLTNB DEDICATION OF THE APTIST CHURCH AT UNION SUNDAY The dedication of the First Baptist church at Union yesterday was one of-ifce biggest events of its kind ever held in Cass county and the attend a nee at the services were from rill sections of the county. The beautiful church building is one that can be a source of pride to the people of that enterprising little city and one that reflects a great deal of credit upon the people of the church and com munity who have given so freely of their funds to complete the structure and it is given to the people of Union absolutely free of debt. At the serv ices yesterday morning, conducted by Rev. York, the last sum needed to clear the church of debt, 82,500, was subscribed and the building turned over to the congregation for their use as a house of worship. The pastor of the church. Rev. "Bil lie'' Taylor, has been a strong worker for the church and his personal en deavor has resulted in the building of the church and in this he has had the support of the business men and citizens of Union. The money for the building was raised largely through the efforts of Rev. Ray E. York, of Lincoln, one of' the active -workers of the state, and who officiated yester day at the formal dedication services The services were aided by a splendid musical program by the choir of the church. At the noon hour a big basket din ner was enjoyed by the congregation and the visitors from the surround ing portion of the county. A delegation of some twenty of the members of the young men's Bible class of the Methodist church of this city attended the services in a body, making the trip by auto in the cars driven by Jesse Perry, Dr. O. Sandin, Ilallie Perry, George Brinklow and Dwight Propst. The young men en joyed the event to the fullest and cer tair.lv felt that it was an occasion long to be remembered.

BOOSTING EVERY BODY'S GAME IS TRUE PATRIOTISM In a few localities in the United States we find patriotic men and women giving up pleasures, luxuries and habits that when maintained had built up industries and trades, and that if now renounced, as they are foolishly trying to do, will throw countless of thousands out of employ ment. Boost everybody's game in pro portion to your ability to do so. Pa tronize your home inelustries, there by keeping Plattsmouth people occu pied. That is true patriotism, for by so doing we are financially able to meet th requirements of war as re quested by our government. It is the duty of every loyal citizen to do all in their power to further any move ment that is trying to benefit our city. The Firemen's Big Municipal Carnival is being staged to raise funds to purchase a chemical tire en gine, so as to enable them to give bet ter service when it comes to protect ing your property. This movement on the. part of the firemen is a very com mendable one; it shows true patriot ism and sfiould have the hearty sup port of the entire city. Let's all prove our loyalty to our city, and show our appreciation to the firemen bv Boost ing, Jioosting, boosting: DANCE FOR BENEFIT OF THE RED CROSS WAS LARGE AFFAIR The dance given by the DeLuxc Dancing club at Coates' hall Satur day evening, the proceeds of which will be turned over to the Red Cross chapter for work in assisting the fee?

LrOKWE5LE Si LUT2 BIG CROWDS PACK THE CABAL AT NEBRASKA CSIY And the Press Says It is the Greatest Ever in That City. The Tom W. Allen Shows, which are to be seen at the Eagles carnival are introducing to the pleasure-seeking of Nebraska City all that is new, novel and refined in the outdoor amusement line. All objctionable fea tures are eliminated; women and chil dren may attend without fear of bet ing offered. It is Mr. Allen's rule to adhere to th show's slogan of hon esty, cleanliness and morality, and it is the strict adherence to this rule that places him in the first rank of representative showmen of today. The Fraternal Order of Eagles is indeed fortunate in securing the services of this splendid organization for their carnival. Wednesday and Thursday nights were gala occasions. Everywhere there was animation and music. Twinkling like luminous stars, hun dreds of incandescent lights cast their rejection on the i happy throng that crowded the carnival grounds and seemingly, with understanding eyes, put a stamp of approval up'on the brilliont spectacle presented. To say that the event comes up to our expectations is putting- it mildly. Every attraction speaks for itself. The Monkey-Speedway and its line up of miniature autos and r.vmkey chauffeurs will delight the kiddies as well as the grownups. The Fashion Plate .show is or.o of merit.

On investi gation he found the noise was oc casioned by a small sized snake that had crawled up on the window ledge and war. attempting to get into the room. The surveyor at once secured a weapon and di atehed the reptile. it proved to ie a spreading: viper, ore- of the most poisonous snakes in this part of the country, and its head measured three inches across. The .T.ake i ; considered far more deadlv than the rattlesnake an 1 its bite is almost ceitain death unless relief is at hand at once.
