W. A. HALL. From Thursday" Dally Last evening at the Modern Wood man hall was held the first annual banquet of the Cass county serrice men and for the occasion the hau was transformed into a scene of great beauty and attractiveness. The south portion of the hall at the rear of the speaker's table was gTaced with the handsome standard of the Legion post as well as the American flags and the large and very artistic American Legion emblem that had been arransed by W. R. Holly for the banquet and which furnished a very pleasing touch for the decora tions. The tables were very attrac tive with streamers of red. white and blue and with the red. white and blue candles as well as red roses. As the members of the banquet Dartv proceeded into the hall, the Elk3 orchestra, which was stationed on the balcony played the march "Young Veterans" to which the mem bers of the party assumed their places around the banquet tables, and the first feast of reason and flow of soul arranged for the service men of the county was on. The ladies of the American Legion Auxiliary had the preparation of the banquet in hand and had labored very earnestly in securing the best possible results for the boys of the Legion and in this work they had been assisted by Fred Wagner, of the Hotel Wagner, who was at the hall the greater part of the day and divided honors with the ladies in the preparation of the feast. The menu served, which speaks for Itself, was as follows: MENU Grape Fruit Cocktail Rouelle de Pork a la Ritchie Dressing au Jus .O'Connell- Submarine Salad - ' ' French Rolls Creme Pomme deTerre Olives Pickles Pie a la Mode Coffee Nc-ir Noix The younger ladies of the Auxiliary and their friends assisted in the serving of the very dainty and well prepared repast and to which the members of the banqueting party from the toastmaster down, assisted in disposing of. Before the guests and comrades were seated. Rev. John Calvert, pas tor of the First Methodist church of fered the invocation and during the serving of the meal the Elks orches tra and the Harmony Banjo Duo of South Omaha ably backed up by Whistling "Red" Bear, furnished an abundance of splendid music. The toast list was arranged to give place to the patriotic orders of the city and which were well represented at the banquet board and in their splendid response brought a renewed message of patriotism to the assem bled service men. At the close of the dinner the ser vice men were provided with smokes following which came the opening re marks of the toastmaster, Elmer A. Webb, who presided with dignity and cleverness over the feast and made a decided hit both with his introduc tory remarks and jabs at the various speaker of the evening. Mr. Eugene Lister, post command er, was the first speaker called upon to present the post's welcome to the comrades and guests and following a moment of profound silence for the men who gave up their lives in the late war, told in a few brief but well chosen words of the pleasure of hav ing present so many of the comrades and invited guests. As indicated by the toast list the speakers were of the various orders and societies of the city which had as their basis the same love of coun try and patriotism as that of the American Legion and the first speak er on the list was Hon. R. B. Wind ham, representing the thinning ranks of the boys In blue who had carried the flag on the battle fields cf our nation's first great war and which had saved the union of states from destruction. Mr. Windham paid most pleasing tribute to the world war ret erans and on behalf of the G. A R, charged them with the responsibili ties which that order must hand to them when the last of the veterans had passed on and to carry on the work of watchfulness over tne ideals of the republic. Mrs. George Dodge, ronrMPntin-f the Woman's Relief; Corps, spoke briefly of the work, that j this order is doing and na3 aone as the auxiliary of the Grand Army and closed with a very beautiful tribute to the flag of our country. As the representative of the Benev olent and Protective Order of Elks, Dr. J. S. Livingston, exalted ruler of Plattsmouth lodge No. 739 re sponded to the toast. "Cerres Alces" and paid glowing tribute to the men of America of all wars from the birth of the nation down to the pres ent time when the world war vet erans returned home to take up the puisuna ui ticc.c iiv i- 1 urged the giving of all aid and en-1 Mrs. William Baird represented the Daughters of the American Revo lution on the program and gave a very charming talk as to the work of the organization as well as the apt and beautiful poem of Sir Harry Lauder as a tribute to the boys who responded to their country's call and which found a place in the hearts of her auditors. To the toast, "The Greatest Moth er of Them All" Judge James T. Beg ley responded for the American Red Cross, whose work on the battlefield and In the home has wnn them nn- dying gratitude from the nation. The! Fr Thursday. Daily. Judge told of the activities of the . Th sad message was received here local county chapter in the world latf last evening by Mrs. . V.

One of the Impressive speeches of the evening was that of C. E. Whit taker, who was present at the ban quet as a representative of the Amer ican Federation of Labor, and in his remarks the speaker showed thought fulness and made a most impressive plea for the rights of mankind to live and lnhor under the hetter con ditions and to be able to give to;are mourning because of her death, their families Rnme nf the lnv that I for she was the playmate of many life in a free country should bring, it-i -m m. i nr. n uuiaKtr txiau bjhjkv ui me feeling of good fellowship and operation that existed between the American Legion and the Federation of Labor and which is shown by the fact that one of the vice presidents of the Lesrion i also nresirtent nf one of the largest printing crafts unions ... - . . . in tne nation, .air. wnittaaer urged the Leeion to nrosrress onward wlth: the Federation in making America better for tbe masses of the people. While not on the toast list, Walter L. Anderson of Lincoln, speaker of the house of representatives was present and was called upon for a few remarks that he gave and which placed the audience In the best of humor. The state adjutant of the Legion, Frank B. O'Connell, of Lincoln, who was one of the honor guests, was then introduced by the toastmaster and in his very clever and witty opening kept the assembled service men fn a continuous' roar' of laughter. He touched on Legion organization In his main remarks and urged the continued application of the work of co-operation between all members and the officers and that every man In the post get, back of the organi zation and do something to place it on the highest plane of efficiency and where it could give the service men the highest service. W. F. Sheely, representing the de partmental work of the Veterans' Bureau, was at the banquet and when called upon by the toastmaster told something of the workings of the Sweet bill for the relief of the ailing and disabled service men of the coun try and pledged his co-operation in every way to see that the men were given full justice. A short discussion of the compensa tion was given by Frank Smith, In which stress was laid upon the "Mellon-choly" times that lie before the veterans, as well as the desire of the Legion for the securing of Jus tice for the service men. The address of William Ritchie. Jr., state commander of the Ameri can Legion, was one of the most in spiring addresses that has been heard here at any gathering and in it the speaker carried to his bearers the message of "Our Legion." The inci dents of life in the army brought many smiles while the stories of tbe sacrifices, the sufferings of those who are- still in homes and hospitals fighting the war brought a tender touch of pathos to the service men. To maintain the honor of the nation. the rights of the people under the constitution of our country and the principles of which the flag was a living emblem. Mr. Richey urged and he called for the service man to look unflinchingly In the eye of his opponent and speak out what he be lieved to be right and just and for which the service men, banded to gether in the American Legion were standing and would continue to bat tle for until the last veteran was swept away. The banquet was closed with the benediction by the chaplain, Byron Babbitt and the members retired feeling that it had been some event. Not a little credit for the splendid success of the banquet is due A. H. Duxbury, committee chairman, who labored hard in the arrangements of the affair and with such success.

PATRICK'S DAY PASSES UNOBSERVED Old Residents Comment on Lack of Pep Shown in Yeais Past by Irish and Near Irish. From Fridays ralK "St. Patrick's day ain't what it used to be," remarked one of the old time residents of this city as he led jlnto conversion about Yhe ceiebral tions 'that had been held here in the past. In the eighties and the earlier rortion of the uinties, Plattsmouth has a very creditable population of , f ersons of Irish birth or descent, and j iiese saw that the day dedicated to ; tne patron saint or the ould sod, was j observed in a fitting manner. 1 As our old friend remarked, the boys would begin to asemble early in the morning with plentiful dis play of the bright emerald green ribbon or tie and from then on un til the shades of night fell there would be something doing all the time and sometimes several things at once. It was a brave man in the ould days that would wear anything that might resemble orange color. It is related of one of the prominent and well known Irish citizens that he came down early in the morning to secure an eye opener and accord ingly there were several other in the same boat and the result was that as the noon hour approached the afore said Irish citizen was feeling so en thusiased that he could have won the battle of the Boyne all alone if he had the opportunity, and hio challenges to anyone who thought they could equal the prowess of the Irish in battle were uncalled. In time the I. C. became more confus ed and then some of the friends pull ed a dirty trick by pinning a large section of bright orange ribbon on the back of his coat. He wended his way home feeling that he had de fended the race fittingly but had a sad awakening when his better half, who was also of the warm blood that comes from south of the Shannon, spied the orange ribbon and for a few moments while -the chunks of wood, rolling pins and other arti cles were flying there was one Irish man that acknowledged that he had met bis equal on the fild of .battle altho- he-was-proud of the fact -that it was an Irishwoman that done the job.

A great many accidents have occurred a3 the result of a sudden decision of the child to try and cross in the path of an auto when i t was only a short distance away and before the car could be stopped the little one was knocked down and Injured. The parents 9hould look after the playgrounds of the little folks and particularly in a small city like Plaittsmouth there are many places that could be used as playgrounds rather than using the streets. It is a whole lot better to see that the children are kept off the street than to spend a lifetime cf regret.
