are getting when the cars are more
plentiful.

CASS COUNTY FARM
A MODEL INSTITUTION
from Thursday's Iaily.
Two of the members of the Journal
force drove out to the Cass county
farm last evening to purchase some
apples, ami while there. Mr. Askew,
who was looking after the work of
gathering the apples in the absence
of Supt. G. II. Tarns, who had been
called to Omaha on business connect
ed with the management of the farm,
showed us about the place, which in
our judgment is in a very prosperous
condition.
The first thing to attract our at
tention was the scrupulously clean
and neat appearance of the buildings
as well as the outside appearance of
the house and lawn. Everything is
kept in its place and general order
is maintained.
Every year a large amount of pro
duce from the farm finds its way to
the markets of this city, where it is
sold and the money turned into the
treasury of the county to help pay
operating expenses of the farm.
The Cass county farm is a model
and many times committees of other
counties and even from other states
have come here to view this institu
tion and gain ideas for improvement
of their own.

CELEBRATED BIRTH

Krom Tin . sday

Last Sunday, September 1Kb be
ing the birthday of both Charles A.
Harvey, of Mynard. and Kalph Tyb r.
his grandi-on. residing in Omaha, the
day was properly ob-e rved and a hist
of friend:- and relatives were brou.h.t
together in Omaha to celebrate the
event.
From the data furnished, we arc
unable to figure out just how many
years cither or both .i the i'onored
guests have seen, but judging from
the circ iiii.-tances surrounding the
mr.tnr would infer that the grand
father is considerably older than the
grandson.
The day was spent in very pleas
ant sociability, as it was a meetm-
of friends, and the merry laugh amij
hearty greeting were indicative of aj
general good time being enjoy-d by j
all. The feature of the occasion 's '
the old fashioned tried chicken din-j
ner which was partaken of by all
those in atte ndanc- .
Those present to enjoy the event
were Mr. and .Mrs. ( . a. Harvey, oi
Mynard; Oliver Harvey and wife and

Weeping Wate-r; Ge rge Harvey and

Th." only thought .to in any way

fact that on the lir-;t of the coming
year Mr. and Mrs. ('. A. Harvey are
to remove to Kansas where they will
make their home in the future. The
many friends as the time to depart
arrived, extended to the two whose
birthdays were beina: observed, best

IALLQT PRINTED IN
VARIOUS FORMS
Seme Counties Disregard Orders of
Conctkutional Convention for a
Callot in Pamphlet Form
Several counties are said to have
printed ballots for the special elec
tion September 21 in a form contrary
to the decree of the constitutional
convention. Secretary of State Ams
lerry has received a letter from the
county clerk of Saunders county ask
ing if it is unlaw ful to print the con
stitutional amendments in "string"
form instead of pamphlet form. The
secretary of state has replied that
such a ballot will not be illegal or
void. Others have grave doubts
about this for the reason that the
constitutional convention explicitly
states that the ballot shall be in
pamphlet form and the convention
has power to define the manner and
form in which amendments shall be
submitted to the voters.
It is said other counties besides
Saunders on one sheet of paper sim
ilar to the general election ballot.
The. constitutional convention re
ceived a report from a committee
which was not positive enough as to,
the form of the ballot to suit some!
members, and on motion of Evans of
-3 41 ,r .1 3 . 1. . '
Adams the convention ordered the
ballot to be printed in pamphlet form
with space- on the back for the en
dorsement of election officers. This
was the final action of the conven
tion, though the printed minutes
omit any mention of the vote on the
subject. It stops with the motion
on Evans' motion being put to the
convention by President Weaver.
While many voters prefer the long
form ballot, it was a pamphlet ballot
which the convention ordered used
at the special election. Lincoln

RQVAL NEIGHBORS HAVE
BIG TM AT LOUISVILLE
From Thursday's Dally.
The annual convention of the
Koyal Neighbors of America. held
at Lor.isville yesterday afternoon
and last evening, was well attended
by representatives anil members from
all over the county.
Plattsmor.th's quota at the con
vention was more than filled, some
twenty-five from here being present
at the meeting and banquet, last
night. Nearly all of these went via
auto and remained until a late hour.
The program is declared to have
been an excellent one and was en
joyed by all. This feature of ihe
fraternal society's work in Cass coun

numbers of the members gather to
gether for a good time.
DID THEIR OWN SERENAD
ING AFTER Q. T. WEDDING
Krorti Tlmrsdny's Iaisf.
Yesterday afternoon two couples
from Weeping Water appeared at the
oil ice of Count v Judge Lieesoti. and.
latter the usual preliminaries., one of
Ithe couples was united in marriage.
i During the time they were taking
the marriaue vows. a number of
young men about town who had
noticed the car draw up at the curb
i.i'.d suspected that something was
about to happen, printed a placard
reading. "What will the harvest be
Just married." This they attach
ed to the rear of the oar together
with a few pairs c;f old overshoes,
and a number of tin cans which were
given enougbc "rope" to drag noisily
over the roimh paving on Piatt'
month's main slreet.
The ladies came from the court
hou--e first and slowly walked to
wards town. A little later the men
sauntered forth and entered the. car
to drive away, but with the car mak
ing a bedlam of noises, they turned
up a fide street to divest it of its
serenadial trimmings and lter effect
a meeting with the ladies where no
one might guess the happy truth.
De-spite the annoyance to which
they were subjected all went away
happy, and we trust they will ever
remain so.
