CRITIC GETS A
SEVERE CALLING
Attack Made on Kerabers of Amer
ican Legion Resented By Bus
iness Men of "the- City
. Yesterday afternoon it is report
ed that a number of the residents
of the city engaged in conversation
in one of the soft drink parlors and
as is generally the case in the last
few days the topic was that of the
railroad strike. The conversation
drifted along until some one sug
gested that the national guard or
U. S. troops or the American Legion
might be called out, the speaker not
thinking just how the remarks might
be taken.
One of the bystanders whose ser
vice to his country is not marked in
any way by any sacrifices or in fact
who cares very little for the preser
vation of things American, then add
ed his bit to the conversation by re
marking that he thought that the
Legion was that kind of people
and other lurid and vile names that
were liberally applied to the Legion
.members. At this time one of the
well known garage men of the city
and one whose record a3 a live wire
and a real American cannot be
doubted, entered the parlor in time
to hear the remarks and proceeded
to tell the party making them just
how he viewed the matter and the
spirit of appreciation that this
gentleman showed in making the
etatements he had made a'i t the
personality of every jrr w,o be
longed to the Legion and on the ser
vice men in general. The garage manj
reminded him of the fact that these
men were ,the ones who had fought
for such cattle as their critics ap
peared to be. This led to a hostile
demonstration on the part of the
Legion critic br - Jie soon checked i
his hostilities wi -a the garage man
prepared to show that there are still
a few men who are .vr American in
stitutions and organizations at all
times.
This case Ehov.s how very little

STATE LIBRARY MEETING
WAS A GREAT SUCCESS
Librarian Mils Olive Jones Returns
Filled With Greatest of En
thusiasm Over Meeting
Misr, Olive Joues, librarian of the
Plattsmouth public library, has re
turned home from the recent meet
ing of the slate association at Grand
Island and which was one of the
mo!t largely attended meetings of
the association held in recent years.
The meeting was for two days and
Loth sessions were opened to the
public and. the discussion of the var
ious topics developer! a great deai
cf interest. Addresses, were delivered
by a number of the persons inter
ested in active library work and
Miss Verna Leonard of this city was
cn the program for a short talk on
"What Proportion of Our Income
Should be Paid in Salaries." being
a part of the informal discussion of
the problems of the libraries of the
smaller towns.
One of the outstanding features
r.f the state meet in.? was the talk
given by Frederich Melcher of New
York, executive secretary of the na
tional association of book publish
ers. Mr. Melcher has just recently
returned from Franco and gave a re
port on the work that is being done
in the war swept countries. One of
the first requests made by the resi
dents of the devastated regions fol
lowing the call for food, clothing
and shelter v.-as for the replacement
of the libraries which had been de
stroyed in the fighting or had been
taken by the Huns in their invas
ion. The books which had been sent
to France to be used in the librar
ies established for the A. E. F. dur
ing their stay were diverted into the
r.re of the French that could read
the English language and the li
Irary association had done all pos
sible to aid in the work of jiving
rssiVance. The Acierlc?n army's vis
ir to France wrought a great change
;n the libraries of that country as
rerctofore they had been the almost
c:;cluive property of the classes
while the Americans had made thera-i
open to the masses of the people who
following the example of the dough
boy sought to take the fullest ad
vantage of the public library.
ONE OVERLOOKED.

road in the United States will be ex
empt from an order of a general rail
road strike.

T. C. Cas-hen, president 'of the
Switchmen's Union of North 'Ameri
ca, pointed out today that fhe' em
ployes on Ford's railroad are iiot af
filiated with the railroad unions.
"They are paid and treated well
and there is no need of organization
among them," said Cashen.

See the Asbestos Sweat!
A section of a range body is heated and there on the iron body is the sweat from the
asbestos. Right before your eyes you see just exactly what happens every time you build a
fire in your range. . You see why the sheet of copper is used and what it does and how it
does it. You take nobody's word you see 3rou know absolutely, positively.

That's what corns to your mind every time you go
in the kitchen and see the Copper-Clad Range. It is an
inspiration because the finest known example of the ar

Aluminum Ware
You know how the many walls and air
spaces of a thermos bottle hold the heat. You
know that a house with a single wall is not as
warm as the house with two walls and an air
space. You know that storm windows, two
windows with a space between, are much
warmer than a single window even if it is as
thick as the two windows.
The Copper-Clad Range has four walls and
an air space. See what it means in fuel sav
ing. See the water sizzle and boil away on
the 3-ply sample, while it stands on the Cop
per-Clad sample. See how the heat is wasted
by radiation on the three-wall construction and
how it is saved by the four-wall thermos con
struction. Suppose that you save but one shovel of
coal at each meal; in a year's time you would
have over a thousand shovels of coal. Pay?
Of course, it will pay; and you owe it to your
self to see these two great demonstrations
