Among the genuine War Savings
Societies of Cass county, the one or
ganized west of I'lattsniouth about
. eb-ven miles, in what in known as
th Tritsch School District, is sure
cmong the live ones, as their meet
ing held on Thusday evening of this
week will sure demonstrate. This
v as one of the mof-t enthusiastic and
interesting meetings ever held by
this society. Father Shine and J.
P. Falter, of Plattsmouth, were pre
terit and delivered very able ad
dresses along the most needed for the
farther development of this line of
work. Their addresses were very pa
triotic, as well as very interesting,
and were received with hearty en
dorsement of the large attendance,
nunibers of this society as well as
many visitors. The meeting was
to held in the school house, but the
aitendance was so large that the
building was not near large enough
to accommodate them all, and in this
emergency the pleasant weather per
ir.1t ted the holding of the meeting
out of doors, so a platform was erect
ed for the speakers outside..
This has been one of the live wire
societies of Cass County, and the
members are not slow in speaking a
a good word for their president,
Mr. Frank Wood, for the success of
the same. lie has always taken a
great deal of interest in the war
work all kinds, and has rendered un
tiring assistance at all times, and
when and wherever needed for the
further development all its branches
and especially to the War Savings
Society of his home district.
Misses May and Glenna Rarker
were present at this meeting and
gave some very patiotic vocal and
reading selections, that added great
ly to the interest as well as the pa
triotlc spirit of the meeting.
There were large delegations from
Louisville, Manley and Weeping
Water in attendance, all of whom
were greatly pleased with the excel-
but program.
May the good work go on. These
societies are rendering a great work
for the best interests of winning the
war. and the Tritsch School District
will not be found wanting in any
part of the work for the best inter
ests of the government at all times
Mr. Falter told his large audience
that while he was born in Germany,
it was not all impossible for a man
to be born in Germany and be a gen
uiiif. true and loyal American at all
times and under an circumstances.
This i; the spirit that we all want
to grow as it has been growing for
the past few months in Cass Count',
ind all over this grand and glorious
count rv of ours.
the NEW FLAG AT
THE CITY, PARK
From Saturday's Dally.
Have you noticed that fine new
S1J American Flag that has been
Moating so proudly from the large
pole at the city park during the past
few days. We know of two men in
that immediate vicinity that feel
very proud over tins display or um
Glory, and that is IInry Steinhauer
a:w itoiu. naves, or tne iiurimgion
ihojis. These two men took particu
lar notice of the old and worn out
lag that dansled in shreds from the
po'.e for the past fjw weeks, and in
the cour?e of their conversation Mr.
Steinhauer volunteered to prepare a
paper and take up a donation from
the business men of the citv for the
;urcha:e of a new one. This move
ment more than nut the approval of
Mr. Hayes, and the good work was
started on last Saturday evening, and
before many moments had elapsed.
Mr. Steinhauer had more than
enouun iu:n!s to purchase a new
Pag of the desired dimensions, but
he kept right on at work, and even
carried the paper until some time
this week, and when the amount was
totaled up he found that he could
clo-e the campaign with about $27,
enough to provide the proud Old
Glory pole with its present new dress
and one for the future. This gives
the city park two fine new flags.
Mr. Steinhauer has volunteered
his services to look after the flags
in the future, and they will be rais-

THE GOVERNMENT WANTS
25,-
000 STUDENT NURSES
AT ONCE.
From Saturday'." Paily.
Twenty-five thousand train nurs
es are to be taken almost immediate-
ly to the foreign fields for work in
, the hospitals there, and there now
exists a demand for that number of
I young ladies from 19 to 35, to fill
supply in this country at this time.
The Woman's department of the
Council of Defense, has the matter
in hand, and asthere is no auxiliary
in this city of the Council of Defense.
The matter of receiving the applica
tions for the filling of these posi
tions will be in the hands of the
secretary of the county council
which is Mr. C. C. Wescott. There
are to be two classes of nurses
which are known as the preferred
class and the deferred class.
The preferred class will consist of
those who will be willing to go any
where for any kind of nursing, that
the Government might call for and
when needed will be called for by the
Surgeon General. This is the class
which is to supply anything what is
needed in Army Hospitals and what
it might be. The other the deferred
class will be those who prefer to
choose their kind of service and are
to go where they prefer, but are
willing to do service in a manner
that they feel they are capable of
doing. Those who register are to
be' caljed by April first,' 1918. and
are to hold themselves in readiness
for the call when it shall come.
Those who register will receive a
thorough training in nursing, and is
preferred that the persons shall have
a high school or larger education,
but it is not absolutely required. An
examination of a certificate will be
necessary to show that their health
is such a condition as will warrant
them standing the rigors of the ser
vices which they are expected to
render. See C. C. Wescott about the
matter, he Is in position to explain
