SAFETY FIRST
An automatic pistol was bought
by Edward S. Morrell, prominent
electriccal engineer and railroad of
ficial of Philadelphia.
The ipistol had a safety catch. To
demonstrate that it could not be fir
ed as long as the catch was in place,
j Morrell .placed the pistol to his head
and pulled the trigger.
The pistol went off, the bullet into
j Morrell'g brain. He is dead and all
! because he did not realize that safe-
1 tv devices are futile, without the
element of personal caution.
Real Safety First depends on your
self. Be cautious.

THE SENSE OF POWER
What is the greatest merit of the
automobile? No press agent seems
to have thought of it. Ease of loco
motion? Speed? Increased transpor
tation facilities? Getting the family
outdoors? Spreading cities out, and
bringing country and city together?
Promoting travel? Packing more in
to life, and adding to the interest of
life?
All these are valuable and im
portant, but there is something else
that is probably more fundamental
than any of them. It is the sense of
power that comes with the automo
bile.
If you can "remember your first
automobile ride, perhaps you can re
call the thrill it gave you, as you
swept along with unwonted ease and
speed. That feeling comes stronger
when one starts driving his own car.
Here you are, with your natural
powers of locomotion multiplied by
10 or 20 and your energy raised to
that of a herd of horses. You can
go where you please, at what rate
of speed you please, almost without
effort. The touch of a finger or a
foot brings Incomparably greater re
sults than the most strenous exer
tion of which you would be capable
of yourself. You and the car togeth
er constitute a new creature, of mar
velous skill and. strength. You fur
nish the intelligence and the car
furnishes the mechanism and ener
gy. Each helps the other, and togeth
er you make a sort of superman or
supermachine.
This sense of power, which comes
to any man or woman of imagina
tion when driving a good car, may
give the owner such a stimulus of
mind and' will, such an access of
self confidence, that he goes right
ahead and makes more than enough
additional money to pay for the car.
Human powers are seldom fully de
veloped or fully realized and every
thing that awakens slumbering fac
ulties is very much worth while.

If you need a willing worker in
yqur business, if you have any form
of mployment to offer, notify the lo

There are several ex-service men an
this city who want work, and they
should be given preference.

Although ha has refused H, thres

difference in their esteem.

DEATH OF OLD
RESIDENT OF
CASS COUNTY
Henry Meisinger of Papillion, Form
erly of Louisville, Passes Away
Sketch of His Life
Frorj Saturday's Daily.
The funeral of Henry Meisinger
for many years a resident of Cass
county, occurred yesterday at Papil
lion from the Friedens Lutheran
church, Rev. K. O. Klette of Fremont
officiating. The sister, Mrs. Emma
Weidman and children, Mrs. Fred
Wagner, George Weidman, Mr. and
Mrs. Nelson Jean of this city, Mrs.
Fred Kroehler of Havelock, Mrs.
Fred W. Ebinger and Fred Weidman
of Plainview being in attendance.
In speaking of tha death the Papil
lion Times has the following ac
count: "Henry Meisinger died Wednesday
morning-a t his home in the south
part of town from injuries sustained
March 17, when he was run tio.vn
by an auto while crossing the street
near the Uhe garage. He wa5 knock
ed down and dragged some little dis
tance before the car was brought to
a stop, but was able to walk to his
home and was given prompt medical
attention. No bones had been broken
and there were no sign of internal
injuries, but in spite of these con
ditions he began to grow weaker and
suffered greatly at tinie3 until death
came to relieve him.
"Mr. Meisinger was born December
26. 18 45. at Hesse, Darmstadt, Ger
many and when a child came with
his parents to America, locating first
in Pennsylvania and later at Pekin.
Illinois, where he resided until IS CO
when he removed to Nebraska, lo
cating in Cass county and moving
from there to Sarpy county in 1895.
He farmed in the vicinity of Spring
field until 1913 when he retired
from active work and moved to
Papiliion, where he had since made
his home.
"He was united in marriage to
Mi?s Albine Heiborn in 1875, and to
this union eight children were born.
They are Mrs. A. Shoemnn and Mrs.
Charles Heim of Louisville; Mrs. P.
Lenhard of Ashiand; Mrs. Fred
Schmidt of Council Bluffs and Mrs.
Cyrus Latham of Buffalo, Nebraska,
and Messrs Fred Meisinger of Gil-
more; Albert, of Davenport. Iowa,
and Robert of Omaha, all of whom
with his widow survive. He is also
survived by twenty-three grand
children and one great grand-child
and by two sisters, Mrs. G. Weidman,
of Plattsmouth and Mrs. W. H. Heil,
cf Louisville.
"The funeral services will be held
Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock from
the Friedens Lutheran church, Rev.
K. O. Klette of Fremont officiating
and interment will be in the Papil
lion cemetery.
"Mr. Meisinger was a hard work
ing man and he and his faithful wife
underwent many of the hardships
incident to pioneer life in raising
an 1 educating a large family, now
all grown men and women occupying
responsible positions and who reflect
their early training in their upright
ness, honesty and rtanding in the
communities in which they live. He
was a loving husband and father and
a good neighbor. He was permitted
to live a long life only the last few
years of which were free from hard
work and care.
"The sincere sympathy of all go
out to the widow who will miss her
companion of so many years most
keenly and to the children who
though grown and mature still look
ed to their father as in the days of
their childhood."
TOO IATE NOW TO AVERT
STRIKE, DECLARES LEWIS
Indianapolis, March 30. Interna
tional President John L. Lewis of
the United Mine Workers, declared
that the time is now too short for
a "satisfactory agreement" being
reached between miners end opera
tors that would avert a suspension
of work by the union men at mid
night tonight. However, he added,
the union is still willing to meet the
operators.
With the statement of the union
leader, the last apparect hope of
averting a shutdown in the coal in
dustry disappeared after having been
brought forward by an eleventh
hour ffort in the house labor com
mittee. All preliminaries for the suspen
sion of work have been completed at
union's headquarters.
New York. March 30. Disap
pointed over its' failure to avert the
general coal strike set for tomorrow
midnight, the anthracite miners and
operators' committee on wages con
tract negotiations adjourned today.
TURKEY IN NATIONS LEAGUE
London, March 30. In a long
statement explaining the decisions
and plans of last week's near east
conference of foreign ministers in
Paris, Marquis Curzon, secretary for
foreign affairs, said in the bouse of
lords today that the international
straits commission would remain in
tact. The foreign secretary added
that all the great powers including
America, if she cared to Join, would
be represented on the commission, as
well as Russia, if she fulfilled the re
quired conditions. He said it was al
so anticipated to invite Turkey to
join the league of nations when
peace between Turkey and Greece
had been ratified.
Lord Curzon said Constantinople
would be evacuated as soon as pos
sible, after peace had been concluded.
