BAU6HMAN IS HOME Arrived Here Yesterday Morning Coming From Camp Dodge. Fro n Monlay's ral!y. Yesterday morning Sergt. Forest II. I'aughman. who arrived from overseas July 5th. and was station ed at Camp Merritt for a short time, and was sent west arriving at his home July 13th.. yesterday. He came from France on the Patricia, which arrived in port only a few days since. He left the United States for France on September 191 s. and was in the fight before the signing of the armistice. Forest left here for the canton ment training camp at Camp Hodge, June 2Cth, 1318, and remained in camp there only for a short time, during the summer, hastening over to the war torn battlefields of Eur ope. He is staying for a short time at the home of his parents in this city resting and visiting with his rela tives and friends for a while before returning to work. A DANGEROUS PLACE IN ROAD. From Tucpnay ratly. Since the grading of the road to the routh of town has been in pro gress many places have been left in a condition far from assuring safety to the traveling public. One espec ially bad one is near the home of C. E. Cook, where the road from the west intersects with the road running south. The grade has been made higher and an approach had to be constructed. To make it up onto the grade some speed has to be developed. A number of accidents have already occurred there though none of them have been of a serious nature. However, the road presents a suitable place for the occurrence of a bad accident and it should be at tended to at once. The mere fact that grading is in progress is no ex cuse for leaving roads torn up for great distances behind the work itself. CASS COUNTY RED CROSS FIN ISHES WORK HAS MOST EXCELLENT RECORD OF WORK I ONE DURING THE TIME OF WAR. LAST SHIPMENT HAS GONE After Signing of Armistice Attention Was Centered in the Making of Refugee Garments. From Monday's Dai'v. The Cass county chapter. Ameri can lied Cross. h;ii now completed its war work. Many hu.-y women. wli.i have almo.-rt :ie.-uec:ed their household duties and families, do i:u only the neccss: r wrk in their homeSj. that they might devote thir time to rendering all the servic po-rib!" to the llet!

"ro-s ladies "have been most faithful throughout the trying months and are deserv ing of much praise for their loyalty. The last refuge quota, and it was a very lare one. lias been com pleted and shipped to the Central l:is-i.m. Chicaco. This c.uota was nr.de for the French and Belgian cfit-.-ees and it has taken much 'hue and a lot of hard work ou t'.i purt of a few faithful workers to 'omplete this quota. The follo--ir.tr is lift of the gar ments that have been shipped and :t- publication will give the public jn idea of the enormous amount o; work that has been completed: children's viol sweaters; .'IT. iiairs of etiMdren's s t . n k inirs. . scPrt"s. '.') cl.emise. - 1 1 i-mierisurmetits, petti coats, nitilit v" ns. ' " skirts and 1-t pinafores. One can readily see that this is a very large quota and realize the work required to get it out. Much credit is due Mrs. Frank Dunbar. :ass county's director of branches, who has been one of the most ar dent and earnest workers and many times if it had tiot been for her ef forts and constancy in the work. this quota would not have been fill ed in the required time. However, this last quota is on its way to headquarters, and the faith ful workers in the county may now have a season of well earned res. oeforc taking up any. new Red Cross activities in the fall that they may be called on to do. Cass county has a proud record ' l war work along all lines. We iiave cone over the top innumerable times but no record stands out higher than that of the Red Cross chapter. All quotas have been filled, no matter how hard they seemed of accomplish ment at the time they were received. And now that the war is over they -till have their share of refugee and reconstruction work to do. The county warehouse has been cleaned and closed for the present. Whether it will be opened again in. the fall depends upon the action of division headquarters. Of this, how ever, we are certain: If a quota is assigned the Cass county chapter, willing hands will again unite in the work and there will be no let up until the last stitch is taken and the garments are ready to ship. Cass county women, we are prou-1 of you and your untiring efforts de voted to Red Cross work. After a hearty meal, take Doan's Regulets and assist your stomach, liver and bowels. Regulets are a mild laxativa. 30c at all stores. LARGE CROWD NE SIDED BALL GAME . MANY ENTHUSIASTIC FANS OUT TO WITNESS GAME AND HEAR BAND FLAY. ARMOURS WIN SHUTOUT GAME Ey Score of 9 to 0 Only Five Local Players Succeeded in Getting as Far as First Base. From Monday's Pally. Yesterdav, with one of the largest crowds of the season present at the Red Sox ball park, the band fur nished some excellent music both before and during the game, and the home team lost to the Armour-; by a score of 1 to 0. The grand f-tr.nd t'tid bleachers were well fille 1. Lee Coiner did some good work in keeping the young lads from sittii g in behind the catcher's position, where they were liable to get hurt. It was a very generous act on the part of the band to volunteer to fur nish music for the crowd, and they played well, as did the Armoti: .? team.

SAW 0 UNIONISM IS IN THE AIR IN PLATTSMOUTH EARBERS PLAN TO UNIONIZE EUSINESS AT A I-IEETING HELD LAST NIGHT. SET STAKDARD PRICE SCALE And Vote to Affiliate with Nebraska City Local High Cost of Liv ing Causes Advance. From Tuesday's Dally. The L'0 cent shave has become a reality in Plattsmouth. Also, if the plans of local barbers materialize, the different shops will soon become union tonsorial parlors instead of "open" -hops. At a meeting of local barbers held last night a new price schedule was agreed upon and will become stand ard in ali the shops joining in the agreement. The i' 0 cent shave is included on the new price-list and hair cuts are advanced from ?.." to 40 cents. Tonics range from 20 cents up and shampoos and singes from ?.', cents up. The E. C. Shellenberger shop has had numerous of the advanced prices in effect for a considerable length of time, shaves having be n quoted at 20 cents there for the past sev eral weeks. The local shop owners aLso plan to unionize their business and with that end in view will seek to affiliate with the Nebraska City local, there being plenty of shop owners but an insut'icient number of journeymen harbors to effect a local organisation. The increased cost of living is given as a just and sufficient reason for the increase in prices. FORMER. FLATTS- pamiTL! um nice Lonis Roessler, of Alliance, Succumbs at Age of Seventy-Two Years.
