WILL EVERS TAKES
CHARGE AT HOME
Prominent Young Member of Mason
ic Orchr Has Charge of Nebrrka
Masonic Heme in This City.
from Saturday's Da I) v.
Ov.inj to the resignation of Su
perintendent Sam Scott of the Ne
braska Masonic Home it has been
necessary to fill the position at once
and the members of the board o?
control were fortunate enough to se
cure the services of "Will Evers, as
superintendent. Mr. Evers has had
more or less experience with the
home in the past few years and it is
very fortunate that he was able at
this time to assume the management
although he has agreed to hold the
position only temporarily until oth
er arrangements can be made. It is
hoped that the board may be able
t;" have him enter the duties there
permanently, but Mr. Evers feels
that he has a greater call in other
line, although willing to make the
temporary sacrifice for the good cf
the institution that houses the aged
of the Masonic order.
Why Colds are Dangerous
You are ofteu told to "beware of
a cold." but why? We will tell you:
Every cold weakens the lungs, low
ers the vitality and paves the way
for the more serious diseases. Peo
ple who contract flu and the pneu
monia first take cold. The longer a
cold hang3 on the greater the dan
ger, especially from the germ dis
eases, as a cold prepares the system
for the reception and development of
the germs of consumption, diptheria,
scarlet fever and whooping cough.
The quicker you get rid of your cold
the less the danger 6f contracting
one of these diseases. Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy has a great reputa
tion as a cure for colds and can be
depended upon. It is pleasant to
take.
Foir
I have to offer for sale a FORD ROADSTER that
is in the best of condition. This car has a good coat of
paint, a new top, extra truck body for light hauling, a
pair of extra fenders, a spot light and ?3 equipped with
lots of extras, such as antirattlers, a radiator hood and
cover, etc. -...,
I will sell this car for $375.00 and will accept Lib
erty Bonds as payment of any issue at 100 cents on the
dollar. This car is just the thing for a farmer who has
light hauling to do, such as hauling chickens, calves,
hogs, milk, etc It will make you money and save you
lots of time in many ways. Remember the new cars are
getting, higher and it will pay you to see me at once, as
this is a bargain and will not last long at this price, as
some one is going to pick up this snap.

From His Duties in the Burlington
Shops to Look After the Re
sponsibilities of Office.
From Saturday's Dally.
This morning Carl A. Johngon,
who was nominated by the demo
cratic city convention for. the office
of mayor announced that postively
and without question he would not
under any consideration accept the
nomination for the position. Mr.
Johnson has given very good rea
sons for his inability to take the
proffered position being employed at
the Burlington shops, where it
would be almost impossible for him
to be in touch with the many little
differences that come up each day
for adjustment and if he was called
from thehops it would require a
great deal of time in reaching him
as well as in the loss from his work
that would not only be a loss to
himself but an inconvenience to the
management of the shops. Mr.
Johnson expressed to a representa
tive of the Journal his very deep
appreciation of the honor that the
democrats of the city and his fellow
workmen in the shops have given
him, biit has declined finally and
for all the nomination for mayor.
The withdraVal of Mr. Johnson
will make it necessary for the city
committee to take some action to
fill the vacancy.

STILL IN PRINTING GAME
i
From Thursday's ually,
Frank M. Sherman, second sou of
C. W. Sherman, former publisher of
the Journal and who has been follow
ing the printing game since leaving
this city twenty years ago, is con
tinuing to advance in his chosen line
of work as the following from the
State Journal of this morning would
indicate:
The picture of Frank M. Sherman,
a former Lincoln boy, appears in a
recent issue of Printing, service Jour
nal of that industry. Mr. Sherman
is now secretary of the National
Trade Composition association, which
is made up of thoso printers who
make a business of furnishing set
matter to the publishing trade. It
was recently organized in Chicago.
Of Mr. Sherman it says:
"Sherman was born and bred in
the graphic arts industries and has
had a particularly wide -experience
in the machine composition end of
the business. He "was - born and
brought up In the mUdle west. His
father, a publisher o;i Iowa and Ne

perience- in various roles, country

TAIL END OF REAL WIND
STORM CAME THIS WAY
From Friday's Daily.
Dispatches this morning from the
western part of Nebraska and east
ern Colorado tell of that section of
the worst sand and wind storms in
years, the country being left in
semida-rkness until the dust can set
tle that was raised by a wind the
velocity of which reached nearly 0
miles an hour.
From the volume of wind in this
vicinity last night, there is little
doubt but .that Cass county found
itself in the wake of the dying hur
ricane that had its inception in the
mountains and swept rapidly east
ward, with such heavy property dam
age in the western part of the state.
TWO MENNONITES
HELD AS SLACKERS
Henderson, Neb., Brothers Heard
Canada Needed Farmers
and Lett, r
From Friday' tally.
David B. Goertzen. 24 married
and John B. Goertzen, 23, single,
brothers of Henderson, Neb., are at
Fort Omaha, charged with desertion
from the army. It is alleged that
before they were to have gone to an
army camp in 1918 they obtained
permission to take a trip, to Canada,
signing an agreement to return in
thirty days. They didnt' return and
other men took their places in the
draft. They came back two weeks
ago.
The two men are member of a
Mennonite colony.
In June, 1918, they were the only
two men "hooked" by the draft n
their colony. . It was Just about
this time that they decided to pay
a visit to their uncle who has a big
farm at Hepburn, Saskatchewan
Canada. They secured the consent
of the draft board, but failed miser
ably. to return.
"We were not trying to evade the
draft, no. chance for that", said
John smilingly, "but we heard In
Canada that they needed farmers as
bad as they did soldiers, so we want
ed to do our bit". And anyway they
wanted to save the government the
expense of training two rookies into
soldiers.
Sheriff Howard of Hamilton coun
ty said there was a considerable ex
odus to Canada from the Mennonite
colony, during the war. Family al
ter family got the Canada farm fev
er and didn't return until after the
war.
The Goertzen brothers will be
tried by court martial at Fort Oma
ha. - -
John Goertzen was married in
Canada last summer. His wife . is
now at Henderson.
The Goertzens claim they would
have gone to camp had they been in
this country, but would have re
fused to fight. ;

YOUTH ACTS DISRE
SPECTFUL TO ELDERS
Remarks Addressed by Young Lad to
Aged Man Produces State- Not Un
like That Prevailing in Germany
I From ThurFday's Dally.
ine lenaency oi tne modern youin
to regard their elders as an evil that
they are compelled to stand for and
their general disregard of all cour
tesy and respect for those many
years their senior, led to considerable
excitement' yesterday afternoon on
lower Main street. From what can
be learned of the affair as poured in
to the listening ear of the county at
torney, the young man and the old
one, both of whom arc engaged in
the grocery delivery Iine had been
arguing and as the argument contin
ued the language became more forci
ble than elegant and the youth by
his comparison of the aged man with
the dog family produced a storm that
he had scracely looked for. The air
was filled with a language both En
glish and German which expressed
the feelings of both parties. The
matter was later taken up with the
county attorney who looked into the
matter and warned the lad that such
disrespectful language in the future
must be barred.
This should be a warning to others
who allow their tongues to get away
with them occasionally and indicates
that this business of being a little
more respectful to the old people is
something hat chould.be Icoked af
ter. We do all kinds of Job printing.

There are Other Plattsmouth People
Similarly Situated.
Can there be any stronger proof
offered than the evidence of Platts
mouth residents? ' After,, you have
read -the following, quietly answer
the question.
O. II. Tower, carpenter, of Vine
street, Plattsmouth, pays: "I suffer
ed from a dull pain in the small of
my back. It got so bad, I had to
get on my kiiees and straighten grad
ually after I got down. The kidney
secretions were scanty in passage,
too. I was told I had stone in my
bladder and the medicine I took only
gave me temporary relief. After
taking one box of Doan's Kidney
Pills, I noticed that the trouble was
beginning to disappear and in a
short time niy health was improved
in every way."
OVER TIIREK YEARS LATER,
Mr. Tower said: "I gladly recom
mend Doan's Kidney Pills. I am still
a strong believer in this old, reliable
kidney medicine."
