Wife Finds Him In Yard And Takes

Calls Assistance.
From ?fctnrday's Inily.
John Thomas of near Louisville
was the victim of a peculiar accident
in which .he suffered a few days since
some serious injuries. They being,
a broken arm and a broken leg. He
had gone to the barn to do some
feeding and climbing to the hay
I loft, to get some hay for the stock
he in gome way fell to the floor be
low, and it is supposed lay there for
a number of hours, and it was sup
posed that he was about the place
somewhere, and not until Mrs.
Thomas was going to the barn
several hours later did she see Mr.
Thomas crawling towards the house.
Then she thought he being on the
ground was trying to hold soins
animal which he had caught, and
when he tried to beckon to her she
approached, not understanding the
conditions. He said "I cannot get
up. I seem to have a. catch in my
leg." She endeavored to assist him
and found that he had a broken leg.
He relapsed into unconsciousness
from which he did not entirely re
turn for sixty hours. Mrs. Thomas,
thought if she had a wheel barrow
she could get him to the house as
she could not carry him. So she
took a large scoop shovel, and sit
ting Mr. Thomas in it dragged the
injured man to the house, and got
medical attendance. His injuries
were dressed, and he is still in a
very precarious condition.
SOON IN FIGHT
WASHINGTON EXPECTS TO HEAR
OF PLUNGE ANY
DAY.
Plan of Foch Believed to Be to Sum
mon Every Available Weapon
to Prevent Enemy From
Making a Stand.
Washington, Sept. 6. The hour
when General Pershing's army will
be thrown into the battle is rapidly
approaching, in the opinion of many
officers and officials at the war de
partment. Developments today in
dicated to these observers that the
German withdrawal was Hearing the
point when Marshal Foch would
make use of every available weapon
to prevent the enemy from making
a stand in his old positions along
the Hindenburg line. Reports in
dicate the Germans are accelerating
their withdrawal along a wide front
before the French and British ar
mies that are pressing on their
heels. The fact that the British
have broken across the old line on
the Douai-Cambrai front is regard
ed as the spur that is impelling the
Germans to rush the last stage of
their withdrawal.
There is no doubt "nmong observ
ers here that Marshal Foch has
mapped out a plan by which he
hopes to prevent the enemy from
.settling into his old lines and re
verting again to trench warfare. It
is argued that if the enemy at
tempts to hold the Hindenburg line
or such of it as he can he will have
to mass reserves to do it.

EIBLE SCHOOLS OF THIS
PLACE TO INCREASE
MEMBERSHIP AND ATTENDANCE
Which Began a Week Ago Has Al
ready Awakened Much
Interest.
Krom Haturday's Paily.
(By Mrs. E. B. Chappell)
There is a wide-spread movement
sweeping America. It is the "Go to
Sunday School" sentiment which
has as its advocators and followers
many of the big men of the day.
The Bible School has happily pass
ed out of the class where it was
once placed. It is no longer re
garded as a place for women, child
ren and pot rifled saints but rather is
being supported by red-blooded
American men.
We wonder some times what good
can come to one through the at
tendance of Sunday School. Is there
anything to be attained? Why go
to Sunday School? Would it not be
ju?t as profitable to spend that hour
in ones own home? .
There are many reasons why one
should attend Bible School but there
are three or four which seem more
persuasive than others. There is
an immense amount of spiritual
satisfaction derived by attending
Sundav School. There is an elevat
ing, brotherly feeling in the atmos
phere which makes one vow he will
henceforth, be a better man, broad
er, man. X feeling of pride and re
sponsibility is gained by the sup
porting of the organization. When
the Sunday School grows into power,
glory is reflected upon each indi
vidual member of the "school.
Taken from the literary stand
point one gains a broader knowledge
of the Bible through class discussion
than by merely reading it. The
great books of the day are filled
with allusions of the Bible and in-
order to enjoy them to the fullest
extent, one must have a thorough
understanding of the particular
story referred to.
The Bible School is a training
school. No other organization offers
such a field for personal develop
ment. Class discussions are of such
informality that even the most timid
venture to make breathless speeches.

C. E. Wescolt's Sons
It is in the Sunday School class room
that many of our noted speakers
! made their first talk. After a time
self confidence takes the place of
timidity and the child enters a
larger field of activity.
It is business policy to attend
l Bible School. The community at
j large, admires and patronizes the
man who declares he is on the side
J of Christianity and who makes good
his declaration.
One could go on at much length in
enumeration arguments in favor of
Sunday School because looking at it
from every angle it i3 the sensible
thing to go.
THE GREATEST
SO SAY THOSE WHO HAVE VISIT
ED THE STATE EXHIBITION
AT LINCOLN.
From Saturday's Daily.
Phillip Hennings was in the city
last evening with his friends Harry
and Earl Schaefer, sons of John
Schaefer, now living near Creighton
and Mr. Frank Behland, all of who
are visiting at the home of their
friends Mr. Hennings. They were
all at Omaha yesterday seeing the
sights and enjoying a visit and the
day before they spent at Lincoln,
attending the state fair. They all
say that the fair this year was one
of the greatest which the state has
ever had. and the line of exhibits
are more complete in all departments
than heretofore, and also that the
crowds in attendance were great as
well, making the most successful
fair since its beginning.
Joe Seagraves was a visitor in
Omaha for over Sunday going on
the early afternoon train.
Mrs. Fred Ilesner of Omaha who
has been visiting here for some
days past at the home of her par
ents Mr. and Mrs. G. II. Tarns west

From Saturday's Dally.
A large number of Truck Owners
from the towns surrounding Omaha

The main object of this organiza
tion is to secure return loads for the
hundreds of trucks driven into
South Omaha and Omaha with stock
and produce, making it much more
profitable to the Truck owners as
they will thus be able to haul loads
both ways and consequently get
paid for the return of the truck
where heretofore the trucks have
been returning eniptj. also furnish
ing the merchants in the towns with
in a radius of 60 miles of Omaha
prompt delivery of their orders, as
under present conditions Ii. K.
Freight delivery is exceeding slow.
The merchants will be called up
on soon and the plan explained in
detail and when giving their orders
to their Wholesale "Houses they may
instruct that shipments be made by
truck or If not called for by truck
within a given time to be forwarded
by express or freight as the mer
chants directs.
The Return Loads Bureaus have
been established and are being ar
