NINTH ANNUAL COMMERCIAL CLUB FEAST I Continued from Page 1) denees in the first ward, costing $210,000; 42 in the second costing 5230,000; 24 in the third costing $85,000; 9 in the fourth costing $50,000 and 6 in the fifth costing $10,000, or in the city a total of 133 costiug $5S5,000. Adding to this the money spent for repairs and city improvements, the residence section of Plattsmouth has contributed di rectly and indirectely to the improve ment and beautifying of the town the no mean sum of $974,000. And what hao been the result?- "Ten years a?o," he said, "property could be rented tor $3.00 to $10.00 per month, whereas today it would re quire from ?G to $30 to rent the Fame places." Ten years ago he said the delinquent taxes amounted to al most $100,000, while at this time they amount to only $3,200. "Dury your hatchet," he said, "and if you cannot say a good word for . Plattsmouth, do not say anything at all." Commenting briefly on the. talk of 21 r. Sat tier. Toast master Robertson said that some years ago when Wm. Ilaird came to this city as superin tendent of the shops here he was told to make the shops pay here or they would be taken away, and i w:is the fact that Mr. Baird mad pood in his efforts that saved th Uurlington shops with their hand some payroll, from being moved else where, complimenting Mr. Baird on having done his part to make Platts mouth prosperous father M. A. Shine was next call ed upon and in one of the most elo ouent addresses we have ever heard him make. raid tribute to the boy who are defending Liberty, th homes of our people, the flag w reverence and adore that same flag which, a.3 lie spoke, was in front, be hind, overhead and all about th audience. He said that the flag stood lor Lite, Liberty and Peace and that each color represented a high ideal that the gray haired members of the Grand Armv of the Republic had made this flag glorious, handing down to us pure, and it was, and is our part to hand it down tq poster ity clear, clean and rich in its rec ord as the banner of a nation of de termination and character. Whil v.e are not paying the fullest meas ure c i devotion that of giving our life-blood which vies Avith the red of the flag in brilliancy of color v.e can do our share and it is up to us to tlo it. Father Shine stated that Germanv has been training for more than forty years for this war, and that thvi United States has had less than forty weeks of actual prepara tion, but, still, stands ready to enter the conflict and will win in the in evitable outcome. He ulso said v.e have "jeen awak ening more and more to the situa tion in front of us. The government :s asked of us the use of our money and has offered to pay for such fa vor. We have responded liberally to th.- Liberty bonds, the V. M. C. A the V. YV. C. A., the Knights of Co lumbus and now to the War Savings certificates and Thrift stamps. Now comes another opportunity to help lie said. i:i the income tax requesting of all tlir.t they meet this issue, as tl.oy hr.vo others, squarely and fair ly. "If you have prospered," said i -at per a nine, come torwaru and pay jour proportion on the property and monies which have been so lib crally and generously given you by Cod Almighty during the past year, and. above nil. be an American." Professor G. E. DeWolf followed with an adress touching on the rela- t';n of the School and the Commun ity, bringing out the relative prosper iy of the educated and the unedu cated. Prof. DeWolf used a lot of statistic to prove the importance of the schools and their relation to the every day life, and to the commercial value of the property, and the suc cess of all commercial enterprises, for one who would be willing to trust his or her affairs in the hands of seme one v. ho did not know what to do vitii the problems which might fact them. "The trained man," said Mr. DeWolf, "is always worth the money." The next gentleman listed to. talk was Dr. Edwin Maxey, who has been Lore before and who ia' somewhat of a humorist, but be was entertaining an audience fomewhere else, and his number was ommitted, much to the disappointment of a number. Don York, with E. II. Wescott at the p-ro. sang "The Lind Which Never Crows Old." and as a recall num ber, "When Von and I Were Young, T-Iairgie." ' Don 'r:rv .'-.truck a popu Jar chord. ! '-very oni: was !iu.n than plea-cd with the rendition. Then followed Judge Paul Jessen, of Nebraska City. Mr. Jessen stated he had kept in touch with Platts mouth and its progress during the past years, and that he was more than glad to know the tdwn had be come a city. He said history was being written for this day, and that we people everywhere are helping to write it. He paid a glowing tribute to the Catholic church, say ing at the same time he was not a member, but that they had furnish ed 35 per cent of the soldiers of the present war. He said that during the past one hundred and forty odd years of this country's existance the expenditures of the nation for all causes had been $29,000,000,000 and that dur ing the last congress we had appro priated $17,000,000,000 but that it shall be worth even this momentous price when we shall have conserved the liberty of the world and made democracy safe among the nations. This sum might look extravagent, said Mr. Jessen, but we are extrav agent people. "I would advise that you forego that pleasure car you are planning to buy next year and in its stead allow the overworked factories to make Ited Cross ambulances or trucks for use 'over there in help ing to wia the war. Look after the War Gardens a little more dilligent ly this year than la6t. Remember, that in that Flag which hangs before you remains the last hope of Lib erty for the world. Do your full share, and if you are an. American, you will, and that without a mur- mer or a complaint." The address of Mr. Jessen closed the program i of speechmaking and, led by , Don C. York, the assemblage united in singing "America" with a vim which put pep into all present Rev. II. G. McCluskey then pro nounced the benediction in a rcver ent and devout manner and -the Ninth annual banquet of the Platts mouth Commercial club was at an end. ARRIVE FROM WEST LAST NIGHT From Friday's Dally. Mrs. E. O. Furlong, who with her two children, Ruth and Edward, of Steamboat Springs, Colorado, travel ed for more than a week in an en deavor to reach here in time for the Golden Wedding anniversary of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Taylor, finally reached here on the late Bur lington train last night. Mrs. Fur long says that there were five feet of snow on the level at her home when she left and still snowing, al though the weather was not exces sively cold. On the Moffit road over which they traveled to rSenver, there were five dead engines and nine cars of stock covered up in the drifts on top of the mountains. These had to be dug out by hand. At one place she was compelled to take a stage for fourteen miles to catch a train on another road, and there were twenty-fcur men who walked the distance, on account of there not being means of transportation. SHOWS GOOD IMPROVEMENT From Friday's Danv. Misses Emma and Lizzie llirz, of west of the city, were passengers to Omaha this morning, and were ac companied by Miss Alta Anderson, of Omaha, a trained nurse, who has been at the Hirz home caring for Phillip Hirz. he having been critical ly ill with pneumonia for the past few weeks. During the past week, Mr. Hirz has been showing consid erable improvement and i now so far recovered that the services of the nurse can be dispensed with. The many friends of this good man will be pleased to learn that the danger point in his illness is now past and that he is on the road to complete recovery. MORE BOOZE THAN HE WANTED, From Friday's Dally. John W. Rodgers, who has been working west of the city for some tima . . . 1 , . ...mii i-aoi, ufuauie possessed or a quantity of booze a few days ago, and having more than was needed for his own personal use, he con tributed to the cheer of a fellow whom he ran across during one of the cold days. Today in the county court, when brought in by Sheriff Quinton, he admitted that the mat ter was just a gift to the other fel low and this ending the case so far as the evidence was concerned. The accomodating judge levied a fine of one hundred dollars and costs, which Mr. Rodgers adjusted and was given his liberty, with an admonishment never to do so again. LOST.

CAR BROKEN TO PIECES. From Friday's Dailv lesteruay wilt s. Jean drove a car belonging to C, C. Parmele to Omaha and at South Omaha, Frank Agnew, a stock salesman in the yards got in the car with Mr. Jean, nd they went to Omaha. While Hearing a crossing where a large number of school children were pass ing, a. heavy truck came along, and seeing the children Mr. Jean, was careful to keep out of the way, that none of them got' injured, and while he seen there were but two things to do. The one was to take the impact of the truck which was a heavy one, driven by a Cudahy driver, and be wrecked and probably killed or di vert "the car towards the stream of children passing. Mr. Jean was not long in making up his mind, for setting his teeth he received the shock which stood the car in which the two were riding almost on its end. only to drop down just in time to be struck by the truck on the other end which over turned the car over rolling it, catching Mr. Frank Agnew, and bruising and rolling him badly. Mr. Jean was more fortunate as he did not receive a scratch in the spill out, coming clear of the wreck. The car was a complete wreck, as it was struck by the heavy truck on both ends, and upset and rolled over. STARTS ALL ON RIGHT WAY. From Friday's Daily. II. M.

War Council Named by Wilson in One Bill and Director of Munitions in Other. Washington, D. C, Jan. 17. Framing of legislation contemplat ing drastic changes in the govern ment's Avar machinery, including creation of an American war coun cil similar to those of England and France and director of munitions, was begun today by the senate mili tary committee. Two bills one proposing the war council of five members, including the secretaries of war and navy and three civilians appointed by the president, and a second to centralize munitions control in a director of munitions were prepared today by a subcommittee consisting of Chair man Chamberlain and Senators Hitchcock and Wadsworth. Chairman Chamberlain announced the committee virtually had agreed upon the two bil'.s, in lieu of his measure for a separate department of munitions with a new cabinet member. The attitude of the admin istration toward them has not been disclosed. President Wilson and Sec retary Baker opposed the original Chamberlain bill. The plan of the committee for the war council is to have it under the president, but wholly independent of the cabinet. Our Jitnev Offer This and 5c. DON'T MIS THIS.
