Evening of Pleasure.
From Friday's Dally.
The literary given last evening at
the high school auditorium by the
senior class as the first of a series of
four interclass entertainments, drew
a large ana wen p;easeu audience
and the result of the program was
one of enjoyment for all those who
attended. l
One of the main ''events of the
evening was the-debate staged be
tween the senlors-Tifl,, the juniors on
the question, "Resolved, That Con
gress should remove the literacy test
for immigrants to the United States."
In this the seniors, represented by
Mips Gladys Liston and Miss Fern
Noble proved the winners by a score
of two to one, while the losers of
the junior class were represented by
Carl Wurl and John Ptak. In this
debate Miss Liston was particularly
effective and brought telling points
for her side of the immigration ques
tion. Several very high class musica
numbers were offered by the members
of the senior class. Miss Catherine
Waddick giving as a piano solo. "The
Poet and Peasant" overture, and MLss
Waddick and Mason Wescott were
heard in a piano duet, "The Soldier's
Chorus." from "Faust." Miss Fae

evening's program in a pianologue,
"Don't You Know," which was very
much enjoyed.
A vocal trio, composed of Clara
Mae Morgan, Fae Chase and Helen
Pontius, was one of the numbers on
the program that was greatly enjoy
ed by the members of the classes and
the audience.
The clever young people of the
class who have a great deal of dra
matic talent had arranged a clever
forty minute comedy sketch, the
title of which was "Betsy Baker."

leading role and supported by Carl
Schneider as "Mr. Crummy;" Mason
Wescott as "Mr. Mouser" and Fae
Cobb as "Mrs. Mouser." This offer

With this line from Kipling, Albert
Smith, seventy-one year old civil war
veteran summed up a fading romance
blasted by his fifty-one year old bride
at the cost of his home and savings of
a lifetime. Homeless and penniless,
the aged veteran appealed today to
police for assistance in recovering his
property.
The old soldier told police he had
married a woman named Julia Black
Bowers of Richmond, Va., two
months ago. After the marriage
Smith deposited his life savings in a
bank with the understanding that
his wife should have access to it as
well. When the veteran went to draw
a few dollars for his personal needs

Philip Fleming of Near Manley is
Joined in Wedlock to Child
hood Sweetheart.
A few days ago Philip Fleming,
resiinc near Manley. returned from
New York, where he was called by
the arrival from the old home in
Germany of his promised bride, and
in the citv of the gateway to the
new world the ceremony that made
these two as one was performed and
the newly weds at once started west
ward for their home in Nebraska.
This marriage is the result of an
old romance formed in Germany,
where the bride and groom were both
born and reared and when Mr. Flem
ing decided to forsake the old home
ar-d seek his fortune in America, he
plighted his troth to the sweetheart
of his childhood days and after an
absence om a number of years the
message ccme to her that the new
home was awaiting her coming and
she accordingly sailed for America
and arriving here was met at Ellis
island by the prospective bridegroom
and there the wedding ceremony
was performed.
The bridal couple came direct from
New York to Plattsmouth and from
here drove by car to their home at
Manley. A reception was held there
a few evenings ago at the home of
Mr and Mrs. Frank Bergman, where
a delightful time was had and the
newlyweds were showered with the
well wishes of their friends and
neighbors.
STILL VERY POORLY
The condition of George R. Dovey
has continued very poorly and th
natient spent a very bad night and
his case is quite serious, causing a
great deal of apprehension to his
family and friends. It is thought
ihnf the next few hours will bring
his case to a crisis as the patient has
been suffering a great deal and un
less a change for the better occurs in
a very short time his recovery Is con
sidered very doubtful.

You Can Wear These Reduced
Blouses Now or in the Spring!
Because many of them are developed of beautiful lacy
and sheer materials. Some are designed to fall over the
skirt while others tuck in. And even though there are
very few Blouses of a kind you are sure to find modes
that will fit you perfectly, for all sizes are included in this
remarkable sale. But the very fact that prices are way
down and the sizes broken means that best bargains will
go to the early choosers.

FRED P. BUSCH, Manager
The annual meeting of the Cass
County Farmers' Union was held in
Weeping Water, Monday afternoon,
December 27, the attendance being
good and much interest shown.
Andrew Stohlman of Louisville,
was elected president to succeed E.
L. Schoemaker of Union, who has
held this important office the past
two years. Other officers elected
were as follows: Wallace Philpot.
vice president; M. K. Balfour, secretary-treasurer;
Henry Stohlman,
Charles Ward and Harrison Living
ston, board of directors. Henry
Snell was elected delegate to the
convention to be held in Omaha on
January llth and 12th.
There are seventeen locals In Cass
county with a membership of over
700.
Among the laws which the Union
will recommend for changes will be
the automobile license law which
gives to 6tate roads 70 per cent of
the license fees. They propose to
have 75 per cent of this money re
main in the county which from it
is collected and give the remainder
to the state road fund.
This change in the pre-sent law
will be backed by all the Unions in
the state. In addition to this they
will recommend that land tax be
spent in the precincts from which
it is collected, thus doing away with
the Bo-called commissioners fund,
whereby money may be transferred
to another precinct at the will of the
board of commissioners.
