FRIENES OF MEN ANXIOUS

SHORT MARCH CONTEMPLATED
And It Would be But a Few Minutes
Between "Fall In" and "Fall
Out" Commands.
From Thursday's T.i!ly.
Progress is being; made by
each of the Various commit
tees in charge of arrange
ments for the big homecoming
celebration to be held in this
city Saturday. October 4. The
Journal will- from day to day,
give its readers additional in
formation of contemplated en
tertainment being planned for
our fghting sons.
One of the feu in res of the home
coming, whirl: the relatives aiiil
friends of the returned service men
are looking forward to is a parade
of tin boys -who wore the khaki and
the h'.ue during the war with Ger
many It is an opportunity that the
general public has Ions looked for
ward to, when the bovs of all (
branches of the service c;uld be got
ten together and the people pee how
many men really were in the service
from this community. It would be
the bigge.-t feature of the day by
a!! (ji.iv-iidii and the one that will
mo: t be ib-Fired by the citizens in
general.
While the- committee In charge
will not insist on the boys getting
out if they do not desire, it would
le n tin" thine for the returned sol
diers and sailors to do and one that
would lie very pleasing: to their rel
atives and friends.
Whether or not the men are in
uniform is another matter that will
have to be Pit to the individual
himself, but the bit: majority will
undoubtedly be clad tn wear the old
duds for this day a least, and those
who have worn out their uniforms
or have imi.c can be on the jb Just
the sam".
In the parade it is hoped to have
the old veterans of the civil war in
line at the -head of the procession
stepping off with measured pace, as
they did yeirs ago under Grant and
Sherman and the world war veter
ans who have double shuffled over
the fields of France and the sands
of the training tamps, together with
the former jackies following the old
time soldiers.
The line of march will be a short
one and will be completed almost
within the usual length of time re
quired to secure a "proper" right
dress under a crabby shave tail in.
the training camps.
Let the boys got busy and when
the morning of the homecoming rolls
around be ready to fall in for a few
minutes and show the good people
or Plattsmouth and Cass county that
they appreciate the eftorts that are
being made to entertain them on
this gala occasion, Ii would be a
cry enjoyable treat for the people
of the city and vicinity to see their
war scarred veterans in line and will
not be any hardship n the boys who
have passed in review hundreds of
times on far less notable occasions.

DRAGGING OF THE
ROADS IS IN ORDER
Heavy Rains Have Placed the High
ways in Fine Condition for
Dragging for Winter.
From Friday Dally.
The heavy rain yesterday through
out Cass county has placed the high
ways in an ideal condition lor urag
ging and a little work at this time
will do wonders in putting the roads
in a shape where they will be open
for travel all winter and be a pleas
ure to travel over.
The dragging will not require a
great deal of time with the soil in
the shape it is now and will do away
with the rough condition that has
been complained of so much by the
auto owners and residents of the
county in general. It will require
the co-operation of the persons liv
ing along the roads to get out and
help in the work, but the result se
cured will more than repay any ef
fort that may be made. A number
of the streets of the city are in poor
condition and can be improved by
the liberal use of a drag. One of
these is North Third street, which
is quite rough.
The soil is fast drying and is in
such shape now that it can lie easily
handled and without much effort
the roads can be placed In first class
shape. It will soon be winter and
to. leave the roads in the shape they
are at present means there will be
rough traveling all winter, when a
little time anil work now will do
awav with the nuisance 01 me rougn
thoroughfares. The roads are a iyat
ter in whic"h everyone is interested,
so let's get out the drags and get
busy.

New Engine Nearly Assembled and
Expected Within Two Weeks
to be in Running Order
From Fri1ay' Dally.
The work of preparing for the in

the plant of the electric light com

nd the bases are all ready and a
large part of the new engine nas

be rushed as. fast as possible.
It is expected that inside of two
weeks the plant will be in full run
ning order and be ready to care for
the load in this city and county. It
is certainly to be hoped that this
plant will get on the job. as the
lightless nights are getting to
be
rather too numerous for comfort.

is the only means of furnishing
light and these households hav.e been

From Thursday's Daily.
Miss Agnes Knotlin k. of this city,

RAINY SEASON IS ON.
Frem Thursday's Daily.
Commencing yesterday with scat
tering showers throughout the day
the rainy season seems to be with
us in real earnest judging from the
extent of the downpour which oc
curred today from early morning
and lasting through the day. The
amount of water running through
the Main street made one think of
the old days when the creeks and
water courses flowing from the
hills would overflow and the occu
pants of the business houses on
Main street would get ready for a
big flood sale if there was anything
left. The improvements that have
been made in recent years has car
ed for the disposal of the surface
water in fine shape and .while the
rain yesterday was very heavy it
was an easy matter for 'the surface
water to be cared for. The lowering
of the Main street pavement,
the extension of the sewer system
and tlie paving of the avenues sure
were worth all they cost to the city
in the way of preventing the. costly
floods that used to raise cain in the
city on tjie occasion of each heavy
rain. The rain was a mighty good
thing for the farmers and the only
kick we have is than it was a damp
poor day for news.
PLANNING PROPERTY RETURN.
Steps prelminary to the return of
the railroads to private control are
under way. On the face of the an
nouncement of Direotor-General
nines' order to begin inventory of
supplies on hand as of December 31
next, it might be taken that the pre
liminary steps are to be followed on
the date named by culminating
ones. More likely, however, ' we
shall witness the spectacle of con
gress suddenly rushing through a,
resolution depriving the president
of the right to return the roads at
all. Their owners it is no secret,
do not want them returned until
some real assurance can be given of
their future status. Springfield Republican.

Piea.-ant is the only precinct that

the i iection as the bad roads and
rain has prevented the election

As the vote stands Pollard lias a
plurality of I'd:: over Tidd in the
county and a majority of two votes
over both of his opponents. Tidd
has a lead of thirty votts over Davis,
and it is figured tha with the light

this precinct Pollard received six

TRULY A HARD LIFE.
From Friday's Daily.
The duties that a member of the
board of education in a small town
is called upon to perform are at all
times numerous but about the new
est phase of his work was the re
quest made a short time ago by one
of the mothers of the city, who,
calling up one of the members of
the board inquired as to what to do
about her young son. whom she
stated, had been picked on by a
number of his schoolmates, who had
worked on him in a rough manner.
The member not being able to offer
any solution of the problem to guar
antee the safety of the young lad,
the mother then suggested that the
member of the board hie himself out
each morning as the lad was en
route to school and guard him from
the fistic atacks of his playmates. It
is needless to say this proposition
was turned down.
We print everything but money
and butter. Let us serve you.
