Always a pretty pood

the verv flash of his dark brown
optics told of happiness, which he
did not wait for us to inquire about,
but fished an excellent smoke out of
his coat pocket and presented it to
us with a smile from ear to ear, say
ing, "Its a boy and both the young
ster and his mother are getting
along all right." The young Amer
ican who is to make his home with
the happy parents, is starting in the
race of life at just 7 pounds, and
bids fair to make a good race, strew
ing smiles and sunshine to all the
world through which he passes. Here
is to you, young man, and may your
path be strewn with roses and filled
with service, a blessing to your par

ATTEND STATE TOURNAMENT
At Lincoln Nest Week and Hope to
I'.Iake Good Showing Have
.Played Excellent Ball.
From Friday's Daily.
Probably ti.e best game of the
season to be played on the home
floor, was engaged in la.--t night by
i'r- hnii-.-t liull l.n?T'c of T'lnt turnout fi
and Havelock high schools. The pre
liminary game was between the sec
ond high school team and what is
known as the town team, being com
posed cf form; r students of the high
school. The line-up of these teams
was as follows: High school second
team. Robert Burkel. Wm. Sprech-
er. Earnest Subec, Gust Bubaker.
Gien Jones and Carl Thomas, while
the tov. n team was made up of Geo.
Dovey. Fred Speck. Albert Janda.
Lawrence Sprecker and Victor Kri
vanek. This was a good game and
while there was not at any time
much crubt in the minds of the High
school studeii's as to the outcome,
yet the game was closely contested,
and resulted in a victory for the
?econd high school team by a score
of :'.", to 17.
Then followed the event of the
evening, it being the game between
the riattsmouth and Havelock High
school teams. Those playing ou the
local flligh school t?:.n are John
Sat tier, Hilton Martin, Harley Ce
cil. Josei.h McCarthy and A. C. Mar
shall, Jr. (June) with Roscoe Hill.
Carl Thomas and Carl Schneider as
substitutes.
Lieut. Parish, of Omaha, was
present and acted as referee.
The game started off brisk, with
Plattsmouth leading. At first the
Havelock boys did not seem to play
with much pep but as the game pro
gressed they showed a gaining ten
dency to take the aggressive.
At the close of the first half the
home team was in the lead with a
margin that the visitors were not
able to overcome, although they
played a dandy good game in the1
second half.
The final score was 35 to 21 in
favor of the home team.
This being the last game of the
season on the home floor, it was well
attended, and was thoroughly enjoy
ed alike by the participants and by
those who saw if. The team goes
to Nebraska City this afternoon, at
which place they will engage the
Nebraska City High school team in
the last regular game of the season.
outside of the series of games they
will participate in the at tournament'
at Lincoln next week.
Returning from the game at Ne
braska City they will engage in in
tensive team practice preparatory to
attending the state tournament to
be held in Lincoln four days the last
of next week, commencing with Wed
nesday evening. One hundred and
seventy teams will be represented in
this tournament, and they will be
grouped according to classes, the
schools of each class competing only
with schools of a similar class. A
large number of constituents cf the
different teams, especially those with
in a radius of fifty miles of Lincoln,
will be present to help their team to
victorv with enthusiastic encourage
raent and there is no reason why a
goodly number of Plattsmouth peo
ple should not take enough interest
to accompany our boys to the capitol
city and watch them clean up their
opponents.
The Journal is expecting the home
team to come back from the tourna
ment with some substantial win
nings to their credit. Keep your eye
on the Plattsmouth team at this an
nual tournament pf state teams.

ing for Omaha, where he is looking

A PLATTSMOUTH
BOY ON ESCORT
Ben Windham on the Battleship
Montana Accompanying the
President to France.
From Thursday's raily
Previous to the advent of the war
nearly all of us looked at the world
as being a big place and thought of
actions which we read about or
heard discussed as being away off,
and in a sense this is truee. but not
so much now when our boys are
coming back from overseas by the
thousands and even Siberia now
seems as close to us as Pittsburg did
before the war. One of our Platts
mouth boys is aboard the battlship
Montana, which is escorting the
George Washington with its distin
guished passenger President Wilson,
back across the ocean, where he will
remain until the peace conference of
the nations is consumated.
We refer to Ben Windham, a son
Of Honr R.' BrWlndham, representa
tive. from this, district in the state
legislature, and who is now making
his tenth trip across the water, and
is making it safe for travel of the
president, who is going to make the
world safe for democracy.
UNDERGOES OPERATION NICELY
From Friday's Dally.
Yesterday at the Ford hospital in
Omaha Pearson T. Walton under
went an operation for the correction
of organic troubles which have given
him trouble for some time. Mr. Wal
ton has been suffering for a good
while and of late his affliction has
been more intense, and he could not
longer stand the pain, so departed
for the Ford hospital in Omaha, un
dergoing an operation for the correc
tion of the trouble near the noon
hour yesterday. The operation re
quired two hours to complete and at
the time the folks came away from
the hospital late in the afternoon he
was just coming out from under the
effects of the drug administered and
as near as could be determined he
seemed to be in a pretty fair condition.
A Service message
Why Go Without This
Protection?
( ONSIDERING that a modern, fire, thief
and storm-proof safe-deposit box may
be had for less than 10c a week, it seems
poor policy indeed for anyone to be without this pro
tection for bonds, stocks, insurance papers and other
valuables.
If your valuables ahe valuable, protect them. The
cost is nothing compared with the trouble, inconveni
ence, if not out-and-out Snancial loss, you may suffer
by keeping your valuables insecurely protected at
home.
We still have a few boxes for rent, but very few. So
make your reservation early.

SUCCESSFUL
BASKET BALL
SEASON ENDS
WHEN OUR BOYS DEFEAT NEBR.
CITY WON NINE OUT OF
TWELVE GAMES.
THE TOURNAMENT NEXT WEEK
At Lincoln, Will be Participated In
By Local Team Expect to
Hold Up Average.
From Saturday's Pally.
Last evening the High school bas
ket ball team of the Plattsmouth
public schools went to Nebraska
City, where they engaged in the
last regular game of the season and
defeated the Nebraska City team.
Our boys are loud in their praise
of the treatment they received at
Nebraska City and also speak well
of the game which the team there
put up.
The Nebraska City boys scored
first and continued to play excellent
ball throughout the game. The init
ial lead was hard to overcome, but
the Plattsmouth bovs went after
the honors in their usual business
like manner and soon had the lead
in the game, the first half ending
with the score 11 to 7 in favor at
Plattsmouth.
The game was a clean one thru-
out and was played with zest and
pep. At the end Plattsmouth had
23 f cores to 10 for Nebraska Citv.
At the conclusion of the game the
Nebraska City people tendered tho
Plattsmouth team and those accom
panying it, to tlTe number of about
fifteen, a reception, including a light
banquet, which showed the excellent
feeling that exists between 'the two
teams and schools of this town and
our neighboring city to the south.
During the season just closed the
local High school won nine out of
a possible twelve games, thereby
scoring a per centage of 7",0. it is
not at all extraordinary to expect
them to maintain an equally envious
record at the coming state tourna
ment in Lincoln next week and we
feel certain they will come home
with honors a plenty as a result of
their participation in the champion
ship games.
A Timely Suggestion.
The next time you have a cough
or cold try Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. It is pleasant to take and
and you are sure to be pleased with
the,-relief which it affords. This
remedy has a wide reputation for
its cures of coughs and eclds.
