MEN OF THE CHURCH ARE NOT SO SLOW CELEBRATE FATHER'S DAY YES TEREAY WITH MOST AP PROPRIATE PROGRAM ADDRESS BY LUTHER PICKETT One of Crowning Features Others Almost Equally as Good Fine Music and Singing. From Monday's Dat;y. With all deference to the Iadiqs who celebrated Mother's day f,o ap propriately at the Christian church a week ago, we are constrained to say that in the matter of presenting a" pleasing program the men of this little church at the corner are not to be considered second raters by any means. For, in the father's day pro gram given under their direction yesterday, they proved therm-elves to be most capable. The matter of the arranging of the program was placed, in the hands of W. T. Wassell, who is an excellent organizer and with the same care that characterizes his business trans actions, he selected personally each of the different numbers on the pro gram, with the result that the af fair proved of extraordinary interest and a very enviable success. The auditorium of the church had been decorated for the occasion, and the theme being one pertaining to man alone, men part icipated wholly in the program. Every number was good, but the length of the program precludes individual mention. The program began with the open ing song. "Home. Sweet Heme." by. the congregation and was followed by "Hock of Ages." sung by the men of the congregation. Then came the Scripture lesson, prayer and announ cements by O. ( Hudson. C. E. Whit aker and Hev. I V. Scott, respec tively. After this was a Four Minute address on "Missions" by A. M. San ders, followed by a duet, "Just as My Father Wills," by A. M. Sanders and W. T. Wassell. The next was a recitation. "The Threadbare Coat," by Oran Burrows and then a song The Latchstring of Father's Door." 1 by the Quartette composed of J. E. Hrady. A. M. Sanders. W. T. Was- sell and D. A. McElwain. The principal address of the ser-Jsay about County Attorney A. G. vice was that of L. V. Pickett, who Cole whom he had known as a boy, spoke on the subject. "Our Fathers." j and spoke about hl3 having played For excellence of delivery, concise- marbles with him, that he was an ness and perspicuity of diction this excellent boy, an4 that he was very address was in a class by itself and well pleased to know of his making showed an extraordinary handling good as a man in the west, a fact of the subject as well as deep and, which he was sure he would do. deliberate thought. Many would not , have taken time to perfect, such an excellent address and to Mr. Pickett is due much credit for his part in making the program so successful. Following the address by Mr. Pickett was a song by B. A. McEl wain and after that came a reading, "Only a Dad" v by P. F. Rihn. Next was a song, "Sometime, Somewhere. Somehow," by the Fathers' Quar tette composed of J. E. Brady, A. M. Sanders, W. T. Wassell and O. C. Hudson. Then Thomas Wiles spoke at some length on "Fathers." He spoke from .....- ! a lunu or experience anu nis auaressi- -was filled with much good and time-.hls bed ere this tlme but suc, is ly advice. The Quartette composed of J. E. Brady. A. M.

Other equally good num bers not mentioned above were the Four Minute address by A; M. San ders, the recitation by Oran Burrows and the reading by Phillip Rihn. WENT AN OPERATION.

UNTiER T ALFA-MAIZE MILL IS TO BE ERECTED HERE CONTRACT LET TO LOCAL FIRM AND BUILDING WILL PRO GRESS RAPIDLY. CONSTRUCTION BEGINS SOON Marvelous Invention for Transform ing Alfalfa and Corn Stalks Into Stock Food Meal. From Monday's Dally. This picture shows the new mill ing plant that will be constructed at Third and Pearl streets on the property recently vacated by the city. The property, building and equipment which is being made by the L. C. Sharp Mfg. Co., will cost about $50,000. This is- the first k. W--. Vr&im& MILLING CO. 11 'T XI 'mm - I i 11 IT .l T1 ry'V 11 IT TT, MAIZE FACTORY TO BE ERECTED mill in the U. S. A. equipped with entirely new and patened machin ery for producing a steel cut stock food from all kinds of forage in cluding corn fodder. The product from this mill "will eliminate many criticisms heretofore offered on for age meals. The processes involve in the case of alfalfa the saving of the leaves which has heretofore been milled to useless dust by oth er processes. In the case of corn fodder the whole plant is reduced to a soft and palatable meal suitable to combine with alfalfa and other mixtures. The entire machinery and processes used in tne mill are pat ented and owned by the Alfa-Maize Milling Co. It is expected that in due season this stock food mill will be of service to the farmers and the community In general as it will provide a convenient hay market where farmers can get immediate money exchange for such commodi ties and at the highest market rate. Owing to the lateness of the season and the large amount of work in volved in equipping the mill it is not expected that a large produc tion will be had . this season. It is expected that these mills will be erected throughout the Corn Belt by the Alfa-Maize company and whose offices are at the L. C. Sharp Mfg. Co., Plattsmouth and 912 South 19th street, Omaha Grain Ex change Building, Omaha. Machin ery 'for all these equipments will be built in Plattsmouth, which will necessitate a large force of me chanics, Favorable comments, have already been received from" various Agricul tural Colleges and scientific stock feeders on the quality of the stock food made by the Alfa-Maize pro cesses and which are likely to sup ersede all other processes for pre paring forage. This ts the first mill that will be able "with its im proved machinery to reduce corn fodder to a commercial meal. This event is of importance to the farm ers in the corn belt as it will pro- vide a profitable outlet for much valuable material which heretofore has been largely wasted. We believe that this modern stock food factoiy will be a valuable addition to Plattsmouth's manufac turing prograiu. PIANO RECITAL BY , PUPILS OF MISS GASS Given Saturday Afternoon at Home of Instructor Large Number Took Part in Program From Monday's Dally. The pupils of Miss Olive Gass gave a piano recital last Saturday af ternoon, May 17th, at 2:30 o'clock, at the home of their instructor, that was well attended by friends of the pupils and others and was well en joyed by all present. It was a "Victory" program and therefore martial music predominat ed in which fife, drums and bugles held a prominent place. All did ex ceptionally well. The rooni3 were decorated with t ' PATENTED PROCESS FCft CONCENTRATION 4Y , J i' HERE DURING THE COMING lilacs and American flags waved a welcome to the many friends who came to hear ihe pupils. A vocal duet by Mrs. W. T. Was sell and Miss Estelle Baird was an exceptionally pleasing number. The program consisted of twenty nine numbers and is too lengthy to permit of publication in full, but it was most evenly balanced and re flects ability on the part of the teach er under whose direction it was given. WILL BE TREATED AT STATE HOSPITAL The Health Of Mrs. John Grebe Is Such As Necessitated Her Personal Care. -"rom Monda's Dallv. Some time since Mrs. John Grebe was in the hospital at Omaha, and returned with a promise that her health would be soon improved, and as the .days wore away it was seen that her condition was not growing better. A few days since she disap peared, and shortly afterwards she appeared at the Lincoln Sanitarium asking for treatment, and was rath er reticent about telling who she was or from where, but finally it was gotten from her and the rela tives were notified. Sheriff Quinton went to Lincoln and accompanied her home, . when she was given a hearing before the board of insanity, who adjudged her a fit subject for treatment at the state institution, and this afternoon she was accompanied by Sheriff Quinton to that institution, where she will be given treatment.

COLORED 1W WAS DEFEATED YESTERDAY THE RED SOX TOOK THEM INTO CAMP TO THE TUNE OF TEN TO THREE, PRETTY FAIR ENTERTAINERS Eut Lost More on Game Than They Made with Their Show Want to Play Another Game. From Monday's Dally Well, the Tennessee Rats of Mr. Bronson's were here Saturday and Sunday, coming with their sweet hearts, nnd camping just across the alley from the - Elks club, where they proved to be very neighborly ft t SUMMER. and many people went to see a real camp of colored people. They put up a very entertaining and mirth provoking program at the Gem Saturday night and carried it with them onto the ball diamond the following day. Goodall was first to bat for the Rats, and was given a base on balls. The next man up was struck out,' Goodall making second and third in the meantime. A little later, with a burst of speed, this cloud of smoke crossed home plate and registered a tally for the coons. Johnson, first baseman and real (comedian of the aggregation was then put out on a grounder and Hicks, the second base man, was walked, going to second. out by Stimpson. At the opening of j A half nf the inninsr those who had placed their money on the! Rats were feeling pretty good and looking for more money to cover. But when the Red Sox went to bat a different story was rapidly unfold ed. Beal was given a wajk, Christy mide a. single, Gradoville a safe hit and the bases were filled. Herold got a two bagger and the boys came pouring in like water out1 of a Jug, gurgling for Joy. McCarthy got a hit and Herold came home. Poisall was walked as well as Janda. Grass man went out on a fly, Poisall was nipped at third and Stimpson was out at first, but all of our boys had been to bat and the Rat stock had experienced a decided slump. Some betting was then indulged in on in nings to try and even up but no one wanted to risk his money on the colored team. The score now stood four to one in favor of the Tied Sox. The second, third and fourth in nings were productive of goose eggs on both sides. During this time the Rats had put a new pitcher. Dint, in the box and he seemed to be fan ning the boys right and left. In the fifth inning two more of our boys came gliding across home plate while the visitors did not get a man dangerously near the place even. In the sixth inning Christie, Gradoville, Herold and Poisall each made a run and we had ten to their one, but the visitors were taking it good naturedlv and a few of their pi ivers were introducing a brand of coon comedy that served to sort of take the place of good playing that might have otherwise been expect ed by the crowd. Nothing occurred until in the eighth when Goodall scored another run, making two for the visitors and in the ninth Pitcher Dint scored a run. The game thus ended with the score ten to three in favor of the home team. The boys of the Red Sox are get ting down to playing pretty good ball. McCarthy, Gradoville, Janda, Beal, Grassman and Herold all mak ing hits in yesterday's game. THE SCORE Red Sox 4 0 0 0 2 4 0 0 0 10 The Rats 1 0000001 1 3 BLUE LODGE ELECT OFFICERS.

Excerpt in the Saturday Evening Post from a Russia letter, opened by Russian censor and shown by him to a member of the A. E. F., Si beria. "The Amerikanskys are taller and stronger than the Japonskys or the Angleskys or the Czecho Slovaks. It is understood that they are very clean, washing their bodies com pletely every two or three days, and changing their uniforms frequently. They laugh always; and they are kind to everyone, taking nothing that does not belong to them, and paying in full for everything. When angry they strike out with their hands, inflicting great damage in some strange manner. They do not fear their officers, but they obey them implicitly; and they are said to be even better fighters than the Czecho-Slovaks!" 1 -Jt Ml n. How to Rate Your Home Town! When a stranger comes to Plattsmouth with the idea of entering business or investing in real estate, he will rate the community on five points. 1. Municipal improvements. 2. Bank deposits. 3. Churches. 4. Schools. 5. The advertising in the local paper. That our city may always take a high rating, our duties toward our community are plain and well defined. Let us all get behind every municipal betterment; sup port our churches and schools to the limit; advertise our businesses liberally, efficiently; buy in our home markets and the results, including bank deposits, will reflect credit upon Plattsmouth, wherever it is mentioned.

Sunday Alfred Wilson, another of the eight boys who went to the service from this city, enlisting in the company which was formed in Glenwood tarly in 1917, and who was with the "Rainbow" Division during all its severe fighting tn the fields of France, and who went en tirely through, coining buck with the unit with which he departed, and the only rtie from this Hiy to so return, others having been de tached and one still remaining n French eoil, Ralph Lair. The oth ers having returned otherwise. Mr. Wilson who went from here ha 1 hi home in Miami, Tcxa. where he will soon depart for a viit for foiup time with his folks, before settling down to his work. Speaking of the experiences which he had in Europe he has to Fay, after having been telling some incidents: "I would not take a million dollars for the exper ience which I had while in the ser vice in France, with all the n'lrTor ing, all the things I saw, and could not help but see and know, nor could be hired by many millions to go through the same thing again to know I was to experience the things which I did, though I came through without a scratch." This expres sion Just about tells what thopt who have gone through the experience think about the war, and how te naciously they are for some means of preventing a war in the future.
