MORE PUBLICITY FOR
AMERICAN LEGION
Ex-Service Men Want Their Paper
Moved and Improved Follow
ing an Investigation.
A stronger editorial policy, better
news writing and a more extensive
"news for the vet" column were a
few of the recommendations made by
the committee of ten that investi
gated the conditions of the American
Legion Weekly, organ of the Ameri-j
can Legion at New York last week, I
according to a statement made yes
terday at Lincoln by Frank B. O'Con
nell, adjutant of the Nebraska de
partment and one of the committee
that conducted the investigation.
Mr. O'Connell. upon his return,
rtated that investigation disclosed
the financial condition of the period
ical was in a "very healthy shape,""
but that the editorial and news sides
nf t,,e weeklv needed imnrovemcnt
to piace jt before the membership of
tht , morion T,P?inn as th force it
was to represent.
"It ti-aa ronnmmpnrted thnt thpi
profits of the periodical for the cur-j
- 1 1 t A :
rent year oe turneu exclusively io
the development of the editorial pol
icy and tbe news features," said Mr.
O'Connell. The employment of spec
ial writers and selection of capable
men to conduct veterans' columns
was recommended by the committee,
he i"id.
"The advertising angle of the
periodical is in good condition, con
tracts for space this year making
one of the biggest gains in its exis
tence, which, on the face of avail
able figures, indicates a profit this
0.ConT,e added. DefiCitS
.
that were incurred last year will be
wiped out by the profit this year, he
said.
Another recommendation made by
the commLttce was the ultimate re
moval of the seat of publication from
New York to Indianapolis, national
headquarters for the organization.
Mr. O'Connell stated. It was found
that such a move was Impossible at
the present tjme because no suitable
publisher at Indianapolis had been
found to accept a contract.

DISCUSS HOUS
ING SITUATION
LAST NIGHT
BURLINGTON OFFICIALS OUTLINE
NEEDS TO CHAMBER OF COM
MERCE COMMITTEE.
From Thursdays Dallj
Last evening a number of the
members of the Chamber of Com
merce, headed by former Mayor John
P. Sattler, president of the chamber,
met at the Burlington yards, where
the private car of Thomas Roope,
superintendent of motive power of
the lines west of the Missouri, va3
stationed, and for some time enjoyed
an informal conference with Mr.
Roope, L. A. Torrey, the general su
perintendent, of motive power, and
William Baird, superintendent of the
shops here relative to the need of
better housing facilities in this city.
It is the desire of the railroad com
pany to have additional men placed
at work in the shops here, but as the
men are largely mechanics from oth
er points and desire to bring their
families here to live, it will be neces
sary that they be assured of finding
suitable homes in which to live when
they arrive In the city.
The situation was gone over very
carefully by both the civic commit
tee and the railroad officials as to
the number of houses that might be
available and also the crying need for
newer and better homes for rental
purposes.
- It was decided the Chamber of
Commerce would do all possible to
help out the shortage by urging the
building of the new dwellings.
This is another reminder of the
fact that has long been evident and
that is that this city has a Fad lack
of suitable modern rental property
uvailable to those who might desire
to come here to make their homes.
The newer residences that have been
built here have been bought up by
th"se who have moved in from the
country districts and as a result the
shortage is as keen as ever.
The price of material has shown
some fall in the lat few months and
the" dealers an confident that, ti'.e
houses could be erected now as
cheaply as they will be in the next
year at least, and the time is certain
ly ripe to do something in this line.
The erection of apartment houses
near the shops might serve to han
dle the situation better than any
other and at lenst provide modern
hemes for the employes of the Bur
lington and their families. The apart
ment house would permit a greater
conservation of ground and accom
modate a large number of small
families.
The Chamber of Commerce will at
once start a campaign to stimulate
the building of n-iv homes and it
hoped there will be a number erected
at once to help out the house short
age. ORGANIZE LETTER CLUB
The boys of the high school who
have received their letter "P" for
work in the various school athletic
events, have formed what is to be
known as the Letter club, and, the
membership of which is limited 'to
the wearers of the letter of the higa
school, the present members in school
being the active organization while
those who have won their letter but
have finished school will be auxil
iary members. The officers selected
are as follows: Howard Dwyer,
president; Charles Hartford, vice
president; Harold Mullis. secretary
treasurer. The other members of the
club are Harold Renner, Harry Dwy
er, Louis Svoboda, Raymond Book
nieyer, Frank Gradoville and Stew
art Chase.
The purpose of the club will be
to see that young men interested in
high school athletics keep up their
studies as well as their work in the
sport line and also to look after the
the sale of the season tickets to the
various school athletic events. The
boys will handle the season tickets
this year and will 'have them on sale
at the Council Bluffs-Plattsmouth
football game 'tomorrow.
FIRE DESTROYS SHED
From Thursday's Dally.
Last evening the fire department
was called to high school hill by a
fire at the property of Mrs. B. S
Ramsey on Vine street. A coal shed
had caught fire, evidently from com
bustion and in a very short time
wa3 completely gutted by the blaze
and destroyed. Fortunately the fire
was confined to the small outbuild
ing and .little damage done.
VERY PLEASANT EVENT
The relatives here have received
the announcement of the arrival at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank
Sitzman at Imperial, Nebraska, of a
fine nine-pound daughter. The oc
casion has brought a great deal of
pleasure to the members of the fam
ily and it is needless to say that
Frank is feeling very proud of the
new addition to the family circle.

bad shape for years past. District

23 will be $1,222.25 and that in dis
trict 24, $5,444.50.
The work will te commenced as
soon as possible and rushed to com

SKETCH OF LIFE OF
PIONEER WOMAN
Story of life and Funeral Services
of Mis. Elizabeth Quintcn, Old
Time Resident cf County
Elizabeth Bro Wll wus born May 1,
1S37, at Laughlintown, Pa. Died
October 10. 1921, at Avoca. Neb.,
aged S4 years, 5 months and 9 days.
She came with her parents in
early girlhood to Denmark, la. Was
married to Zephaniah J. Quinton on
.April S, 1S56, to which union were
born 6 children.
John Ii. of Brule, Neb.; Edgar S.
deceased, 1S72; Lillian S., deceased,
1919; Carroll I), of Plattsmouth,
Neb.; Mamie Dunbar of Avoca. Neb.
She and her husband were true
pioneers, coming to Nebraska in
1856. where they settled on the old
homestead that has always been
home.
The husband and father died Ap
ril 15, 1878.
There are left to mourn, three
sisters and one brother, in Iowa;
two sons and wives, and two daugh
ters, six grandchildren and numer
ous relatives and friends.
She was brought up a Presbyter
ian but joined as a charter member
of the First Congregational church
of Avoca, Nebraska.
Funeral services were held at the
home, where Mrs. Quinton had re
sided these many years, Rev. Sny
der of the Congregational church,
conducting the last sad rites.
Many old time friends of this es
timable lady paid their last respects
to the departed. The choir sang
"Some Dav We'll Understand,"
"Abide With Me," and "Lead Kind
ly Light."
A wealth of beautiful floral re
membrances smothered the casket.
Mrs. Quinton was laid to rest in the
Weeping Water cemetery, where so
many years before her loved ones
had been placed.
Her life was the full, busy, useful
life of a woman, early widowed and
the care and upbringing of' a fam
ily. In the early days of this com
munity the neighbors never called
for assistance in vain. Mrs. Quinton
was ever willing to ride for miles in
storm or cotd to minister to some
suffering neighbor. Her many deeds
cf kindness will long be remembered.
Of late she was unable to leave
her home, but was always interest
ed in the affairs of the community
and her mind was wonderfully alert
for one of her extreme age. Always
an omniverous reader until the last
year, when her sight failed. The
community grieves with the family
in the passing on of one of our old-?
est and most beloved pioneers.

friends and neighbors, during our
days of sorrow when our dear moth
