somebody surely was busy in mak
ing the evils of dirt and rubbish hit
the high places. In the rear of the
business houses mere was a general
clean up campaign and old build
ings and sheds were either put in
proper shape or repaired, old boxes
and other accumulations removed so
that the danger from fires was les
sened very much and the general ap
pearance of the city vastly improved
Fire Chief Sandin was right on the
job and did not allow anyone to get
away where there was a chance to
have an untidy spot cleaned up or
any rubbish gotten out of the way.
This campaign worked so well
that we should strive to see that ev
ery week has a Clean up day and
that there be no rubbish or dirt al
lowed to accumulate around ' the
stores. or properties of the residents
of the city where it is possible to do
away with it.

CLOSING DAYS
OF SCHOOL ARE
NOW AT HAND
CALENDAR OF LAST DAYS FILL
ED WITH INTEREST ESPE
CIALLY TO SENIORS.
GRADUATION Oil MAY 25TH
Class Play at the Parmele Theatre
On May 23rd and Commence
ment at High School.
The last days of May bring with
them the close of the school year and
to the senior class of the school es
pecially the time is one filled with
many tender memories as they pre
pare to depart from the institution
where they have been trained and
taken up tehir lives In the world,
separating from the associations
that they have grown accustomed to
in the school room from the days
when as tots they entered the lower
grades until they pass out as staid
and dignified graduates.
The calendar of the month car
ries with it the greater part of the
important functions of the year and
the first of these is the annual ban
quet given by the Junior class to the
seniors and which will be held this
year at the M. W. A. hall Friday,
May 12th, and which promises to be
an event of more than usual inter
est.
On Sunday, May 21st, the bacca
laureate sermon will be given at the
First Methodist church by the Rev
John Calvert.
Tuesday, May 23rd, the Senior
class will present their play, "The
Man on the Box," a clever comedy
adapted from the novel by Harold
McGrath, at the Parmele theatre,
and in which there will be some fif
teen of the class taking part. The
leading roles of the comedy will be
carried by Allison Flynn and Miss
Lillian Calvert and from the earnest
manner in which the young people
are studying it will be well present
ed by the talented cast.
The commencement exercises will
be held on Thursday, May 25th, at
the high school auditorium and Dr.
Frank G. Smith, D. D.. of Omaha,
will be the orator of the occasion
and in a fitting manner assist in
the departure of the young people
from high school life to their other
lines of activities. The graduating
class comprises forty-three young
people and an unusual fact is the
showing made by the young men of
the class in their school work. Of the
seven highest ranking members of
the class for their four years work
in the school, five of these are boys
which is a departure from. the stand
ings of .other years. The high rank
ing members of the class are: Karl
Wurl, Raymond Bookmeyer, John
Ptak, Howard Dwyer, Harry Dwyer,
Frances Koebel and Fern Niel. In
the rank of their standing Karl Wurl
will be the valedictorian and Ray
mond Bookmeyer salutatorian of the
class.
HELP SOME LADY
Miss Myrtle Wood of Wabash, who
is a candidate in the Bee Good Will
election for the representative to
visit the war devastated regions of
France, is the only candidate from
Cass county and is worthy of sup
port from all sections of the coun
ty. Miss Wood was here .Tuesday in
the interest of ' her candidacy and
certainly would make a worthy rep
resentative from this state to France.
Any votes for her in the race will
be very much appreciated by her
friends over the county.

meeting as those present, even the
more elderly bishops, arose to their
feet so they could cheer louder. It
was several minutes before the pre
siding officers could stop the hub-
bub and bring the convention to or
der, after which it adopted, with
shouts of acclamation, a resolution

promotion of the great truths he has
so ably set forth."

Hughes for the achievements of the

and pledged support to "all meas
ures looking toward the establish
ment of peace on earth and good
will toward men."

LINCOLN HOST TO
THE OLD VETERANS
Delegates to the Annual Meetings of
Six State Patriotic Asociations
Welcomed at Lincoln.
Lincoln is host to the members of
the Grand Army of the Republic of
the department of Nebraska and al
lied patriotic organizations. The men
who fought under Grant, Sherman,
Meade, Sheridan, Thomas and other
great commanders of the Civil war
are here to attend the forty-sixth
annual encampment. The allied or
ganizations are the Woman's Relief
Corps, Daughters of Veterans, Ladies
of the G. A. R., Sons of Veterans
and Sons of Veterans' auxiliary.
Every passenger train that enter
ed Lincoln Tuesday brought the old
soldiers, their wives and other rela
tives. Many arrived Monday after
noon and evening. Harmon Bross,
state adjutant general of Nebraska
and a member of the local executive
committee of thetianiACt RDL MFW
committee, said that 600 or more
veterans are expected to attend the
encampment. It is estimated that be
tween 1,500 and 2,000 will be In
Lincoln during the convention of
the six organizations.
Plenty of automobiles are avail
able for transporting the Civil war
veterans to and from the railroad
stations and the headquarters at the
Lindell hotel. Police Chief Peter
Johnstone in charge of a big car is
doing his bit. ,
As the old soldiers met at head
quarters they exchanged affectionate
greetings and reminiscences.- Some
had served in the same regiments
and even in the same companies and
their greetings were more than ordi
narily warm.
While, time has laid a heavy hand
on the old soldiers, many are still
very active and a few do not look to
be nearly eighty years old. One of
the oldest veterans, is C. W. Walthers
of Lincoln. He is near the ninety
limit but is well preserved and active.
"Hello, kid,'' sang out one white-
bearded ex-soldier as he extended
both hands to a comrade. Then they
both laughed heartily and fell to
talking of old war times in the six
ties.
The registration bureau at head
quarters is one of the busiest places
in Lincoln. There registration for all
of the representatives of the six
state patriotic organizations is done.
Frank P. Corrick, a member of the
Sons of Veterans, is one of the reg
istrars: Every Civil war veteran is
asked to give his regiment, company
and the state wherein he .enlisted.
The fife and drum corps of Farra
gut post, G. A..R., of Lincoln, help
ed to enliven the arrival of the dele
gates Tuesday morning. They played
the tunes that inspired union armies
to march into battle with a deter
mination to win.
None of the six organizations will
hold business sessions until Wednes
day morning. Tuesday morning the
encampment program opened at 7
a. m. with the reveille. At 9 o'clock
registration of delegates began. Lun
cheon was served at 12 o'clock. At

NATIONALIZATION
OF GOAL MINES
WILL BE OPPOSED
Vice President Morrow Predicts
Strike Will Be Broke Before
July 1 Tonnage Grows.
New York, May 9. Coal opera
tors are predicting that the strike
in. the bituminous industry "will be
smashed before July 1," J. D. L.
Morrow, vice president of the Na
tional Coal association said in an
address before the National associa
tion of Manufacturers here today.
Nonunion miners are producing
2,000,000 -tons a week, he announc
ed, and are 'daily increasing their
output toward S, 000,000 weekly ton
nage required to supply the nation
al needs. The present available sup
ply of bituminous coal Mr. Morrow
placed at 47,000,000 tons.
Output Increasing
"In West Virginia," he said, "prac
tically as much coal is being mined
by nonunion men during this strike
as was mined during a similar per
iod by both union and nonunion
mines in the state in 1920."
Mr. Morrow declared the opera
tors are opposed to any form of na
tionalization of the coal industry.
When John L. Lewis, president of
the United Mine Workers, speaks of
nationalization of the mines, he
speaks of nationalizing your indus
try, he told the manufacturers. "He
speaks of nationalizing the industry
of the consumers."
Cost Would he Higher
"The government cannot correct
over-development and run the coal
mines any better than the operators
can," he continued. "There is not
any one alive who could estimate the
increased cost of coal that would re
sult under government ownership.
If Your Clothes
1
have Style
most likely they have everything else
you want. It doesn't pay to put good
style into poor fabrics. Good style always
means careful tailoring.
If you choose your clothes for style you
are on the right road provided the
price is right. Society Brand style you
know. And they are real values --vat
our 1922 prices. .
Unapproachable Values in Men's and Young Men's
Society Brand Suits at
$35, $40 and $45
C. E. Wescotfs Sons
If the present strike is won by the
miners, manufacturers will either
pay more for coal under union con
trol or they will be buying from non
union producers. And today they are
entering the competitive market, and
selling coal at from $1 to $2 a ton
cheaper than union dominated mines
can put it on the market.
"Every great competitive industry
in the United States is over devel
oped. That is the guarantee of the
consumer of any product in this
country that he can get what he
wants under reasonable conditions as
to price and delivery. Whenever an
American industry becomes overde
veloped it then is immediately charg
ed with being a monopoly."
MAKES CHANGE IN TIME
The Burlington is announcing
from their Lincoln offices that a new
time card will be made effective May
2Sth and which includes among oth
er changes the restoration of No. 1
from Chicago to Denver and No. 10
from Denver to Chicago, both trains
having been taken off during the
winter season. The exact running
time of the trains has not been an
nounced but they will follow closely
their previous schedule.
The Plattsmouth public will be In
terested chiefly in No. 10 which will
travel via this city on its way east
and possibly on the changes in the
route and time of No. 5, the fast
west bound train which is now go
ing by way of Pacific Junction and
Council Bluffs on the old running
time of No. 1.
