j ing in great sh:ipt and enahle the
I merchant to riv iiis ciisioincrs the
I advantages ot low prices at the time!;

j The sales are a community event
that brings clo er together the buy
ing and selling public and through
i them the residents of the city become
more thoroghly acquainted with each
otiier and the realization of the truth
that the success of the city is through
ciniiminity oo-opi-rat ion.
If the business houses of the city
are given the ppi-rtunity of quick
sales they can easily compete with
the larger places in finality uf good;
sold and in the prices and the resi
dents of the city recognized this fact
in the la-t sales day when the mer
chants disposed of large amounts of
gooas to tlie stoppers.
The sales are conducted without
the extensive entenainmen-ts an. I dis

been that this added expense " eon hi
better be divide, jn giving the peo
ple the benefit f tlie lower prices
and as the result many of th article-;
sold were at prices 1li.it astonished
the average shopper.

Struck on Head by Piece of Coal and
Suffers Concussion of the
Brain as a Result.
Yesterday afternoon G. It. South
and wife motored to Union for a short
visit and on their return Mr South
was the victim of an unusual and
very serious accident. They weie
driving in the car and nearv the L.
('. Todd farm passed under an over
head crossing of the Missouri
cific at the same time that a train
was passing and as the auto passed
under the hridge a huge sized chunk
of coal rolled from the tender of the
locomotive and fell onto the auto
mobile, striking Mr. South in the
head and rendering him unconscious.
He was hurried on into this city and
Dr. I. J. Flynn called to look "after
the injured man and an examination
disclosed that he was suffering from
concussion of the brain occasioned by
the injury.
The case caused a great deal of
apprehension at first as to the out
come as Mr. South was unconscious
for some time and his faculties seem
ed clouded for a period of several
hours after the accident. This morn
ing he was somewhat better and had
a clearer recollection of the accident,
but was quite stiff and sore as a re
sult of his experience. It is thought
now that he will recover without per
manent injury.

Des Moines, la., July 5. Adver
tising is the most important factor
in modern business. Dr. John T. Ti
gert. United States commissioner of
education, declared in an address be
fore the Des Moines Advertising club
here at noon today. Important as are
the factors of labor, raw material,
production, marketing and organiza
tion, none of these, he said, are as
significant today as advertising.
"Advertising is the selling thru
publicity," Dr. Tigert said. "These
include, of course, creating a vogue,
stimulating good will and maintain
ing custom. In 1911 a summary was
made of the relative amounts of mon
ey expended in different media of
advertising. At that time the total
amount spent for advertising in this
country was $800,000. Since that
time the amount expended have in
creased by leaps and bounds. The
The Methodist church was well
filled yesterday afternoon to attend
the funeral services of tlie late Dan
iel H. Smith and to pay their tribute
to the memory of the departed friend
and long time resident of the citv.
I'he services were conducted by
Rev. A. V. Hunter, pastor of the
church and in his discourse the min
ster paid a Jrihute to the departed
friend and to the sorrowing child
ren and other relatives Rev. Hunter
gave words of comfort in their be
reavement. The floral tributes were very band
some and attested tlie high esteem
in which Mr. Smith had been held in
his former home.
Preceding the funeral service the
body had been lying in state at the
Streight Sr Streight undertaking
rooms, having been brought to this
city Tuesday morning from Indepen
dence, Missouri, where Mr. Smith had
died at the homo of his son, (ieorge
Smith, on Sunday.
During the services a quartet com
posed of K. II. Wescott. R"v. Hunter.
Dr. R. 1. Westovor and V. A. Cloi.lt.
gave two of the favorite hymns of
the departed. "Jesus. fSavior. i'ilot
Me" and "Now the Day is O'er."
At the cemetery the services were
in charge of Plattsmouth lodge No.
G. A. V. fc A. M., with W. A. Robert -ron
officiating as master, and with
the impressive ceremonies the body
was consigned to the silent tomb. The
quartet gave a number at tlie grave,
"Rock of Ages." as the casket was
lowered to its resting place.
Only the son. (Ieorge Smith, of In
dependence, was here from out- of
and in which Mr. Prop.-t claimed that
Mr. Mason had assaulted him. The
affair grew out of a dispute over the
building occupied by the garage and
which building is owned by Mr.
Propst and it. is claimed that Mr. Ma
son pushed Mr. Propst out of the of
fice of the garage and thereby the
trouble commenced. On hearing the
pica of guilty Judge Reeson assessed
a fine of ?" and costs amounting to
SS.f.O on Mr. Mason.
MARRIED IN MINNEAPOLIS
The announcements have been re
ceived here by relatives of the mar
riage in Minneapolis of Miss Helen
Herold. daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
James II. Herold, formerly of this
city to Mr. William Alexander of
Brooklyn, New York. Mr and Mrs.
Alexander will make their home in
the future at Brooklvn.
CARD OF THANKS
We desire to take this means of
expressing our deep and lasting ap
preciation of the many acts of kind
ness shown to us by the friends and
neighbors in the hour of our sorrow.
Especially do we wish to thank the
Masons, Eagles, Paint shop employes
and sheet metal workers for their
floral offerings and also the quartet
for their services at the funeral.
