CONSERVATION OF PARKING NECESSARY Torn-np Condition of Main Street Makes Necessary the Need for All Possible Space. The fact that the construction of the new sewers and the repaving of Main street has closed up practical ly all of the street from Fifth, east to Richey street, makes necessary the conservation of the parking space for automobiles and the own ers of cars will find it n'eress'ary to use the side streets as well as Vine and a portion of Pearl to place their cars when driving into the eitj.

The president of the league also gave Umpire John son notice of his release as he thot that all of the facts of the Beatrice outbreak were not given him.

BAND CONCERTS PROVING A SPLEN DID ATTRACTION Weekly Offerings of Elks' Band Gives Public an Unusual Treat in a Musical Way. The concerts that are offered each Wednesday evening at Garfield park by the Elks band are growing in popularity and while only the second concert of the season has been given they are being looked forward to by the lovers of real music in the city. The programs are exceptionally well selected and combine a number of the high class standard numbers as well as the tuneful melodies of the musical comedies and a few of the snappy marches and fox trots as well as one of the classic selections. One feature that has been remarked upon is the numbers given by the way of contrast, and which includes one of the late jazzy tunes as well as one of the high clas musical numbers. The idea is a very pleasing one and gives attendants at the concert a di rect comparison of the two styles of music! The band has beei? practicing hard all winter and their work is shown in the great improvement of the past year and the organization is one that the city can feel a pardonable pride in as one of the best bands in this portion of the state.

Mr. Whiting is the head of the Boule vard bank as well as interested in a number of other banks and trust companies and the position secured by Mr. Dovey is one that will offtr him a deserved promotion in the course of his service.

The newly weds returned to Eagle this morning and left at noon to take the train at Alvo for their new home at Union. 111., where the groom will engage in farming. The bride is well known to our readers, having lived here for the greater part of her life, was the daughter of the late C. H. Hudson, and the widow of the late Travis Crabtree, who died about seven years ago. We are not so well acquainted with the groom, but he has the ap pearance of being an industrious, steady, well intent ioned man, and we have heard nothing but good re ports of him. The Beacon wishes them happiness and prosperity. Eagle Beacon. Mrs. J. P. Sattler was in Omaha yesterday where she spent a few hours with her daughter, Mrs. Law rence Sprecher at the hospital where she is recovering from her injuries in the recent auto accident. ENJOYING LIFE IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST Mr. and Mrs. John T. Lyon Find the Surroundings in Their New Home Very Interesting. The friends here of Mr. and Mrs. John T. Lyon and Mr. and Mrs. C. ! II. Frans, will be pleased to learn that they are all doing nicely and, feeling in the best of health in their, new home at Hoquiam, Washington, j Mrs. Lyon in writing tells a little of the',. country there, which is located. in the lumber producing region of Washington and the town's chief in dustries are that of lumber mills. This season the work has been re tarded by the fact that extensive forest fires have been raging all season, there having been r.o rain at all in that country for the entire summer, the first time that this has occurred in forty years. As a result of the lack of rain the forests have become as dry as tinder and the fires spring up very easily end with great destruction. The log gers are kept busy fighting fire al most all the time. Mr. Frans is now working at the carpenter trade and Mr. Lyon as a truck driver and both are doing very well. The town of Hoquiam, Mrs. Lyon states, is about 10.000 population r.nd situated in a very choice loca tion near the Hoquiam river, and has street cars and everything of a modern city type. Adjoining it is the town of Aberdeen and the two places are practically one. The town is ome eighteen miles from the Pa cific ocean. As the result of the nearness of the Pacific there is more or less fog at night and early in the morning and as well a very pleasant coolness to the breeze. Mrs. "Lyon, with her sister, Mrs. Elmer Frans, motored to Portland, some 17 4 miles from their home, and had a most delightful trip and one that will be very pleasant to re member. They were very much pleased with Portland and Mrs. Lyon thinks it one of the most charming cities on the Pacific coast. The roads are all hard, permanent driveways and make traveling a real treat- WANTS MOTHER'S WILL SET ASIDE Albert D. Welton Charges Undue In- flr.ence Brought to Bear on Parent in Making Will. Albert D. Welton has filed an ob jection in county court here to pro bate of what he calls "the instru ment purporting to be the last will r.nd testament" of his mother, Ella Welton. who died recently in Genesee, III. The estate consists of about 240 acres of land near Wav- erlv. The total estate is valued at approximately $100,000, according to the attorney who filed the objec tion for Mr. Welton. The will pro vides that the estate shall be divid ed and share and share alike between! each of the six children, but speci fies that $25,000 shall be deducted from Mr. Wclton's share. The will already has been probated in Illi nois. The son's objections are that his mother was not posessed of sufficient physical and mental capacity on ac count of old age and heart disease to make a will, that improper and un due influence was frought to bear upon her in making her will by all the devisees, who led her to believe that he was in feeble mental and physical health and about to die; that the probate court here is with out jurisdiction as Mrs. Welton was a natural resident of Illinois at the time of her death, and the will was not executed according to the laws of Nebraska. Mr. Welton asks that the instrument be set aside and an administrator of the estate be ap pointed. Lincoln Star. VEBY SEBIOUSLY ILL From Friday Dallv. The condition of John Hatt, one of the oldest merchants of the city. is very serious and he has been con fined to his bed at his home for the last few days and the family has been very apprehensive over the out come of the case. Miss Verna Hatt, a daughter of Shenandoah, la., is here having been called to the bed side of the father. ' PADEBEWSKI IS COMING BACK Paris, July 26. Ignace J. Pader- ewski has decided definitely that his country is unwilling to accept his political services, it was learned to day. He will return to the United States in November to. fill several concert engagements. The former Polish premier does not disguise his feelings on the Polish situation. He shows great sorrow for the condi tion of his country. Your ad will carry punch if yon write it as a plain "selling talk" in stead oi trying to fuss it up with frills and exageratious. M0BE CAMPAIGN EXPENSES There are a number of other can didates filing their expense accounts with County Clerk George R. Sayles and which holds the expense to the very limit, as all of the candidates have spent only their filing fee, with the exception of A. L. Tidd for con gress, who spent $3 6.50, and which includes his advertising and print ing expense and is a very remark ably cheap campaign. H. R. Schmidt and Fred H. Gorder in the third com missioner district did not expend one cent for the nominations and Mrs. Kate Minor, W. H. Puis and W. B. Banning only expended the $5 a piece for their filing fee. NEBRASKA POOL A MILLION BUSHELS Wheat Being Shipped From State Wheat Growers Ass'n. to Min neapolis and Kansas City Trenton, Neb., July 26. Wheat from the pool of the Nebraska Wheat Growers' association is being ship ped to markets in Minneapolis and Kansas City, according to the organ ization's headquarters office which recently was established here. The total pool now amounts to about 1, 000,000 bushels, altho organizers are still in the field and a considerably larger amount is expected before the end of the present crop movement. Sales agreements to care for the 1922 season have been made with the Northeast Wheat Growers' asso ciation at Minneapolis and the Kan sas City Jobbing association at Kan sas City. The former establishment is the co-operative organization which handles the pools in the Pa cific coast states, and recently es tablished a sales office in Minneap olis to dispose of about 15,000,000 bushels from North Dakota. Tentative arrangements by which the Trenton office of the Nebraska Wheat Growers association will have charge of a pool of nearly 1,000,000 bushels formers by Colorado wheat growers were reached at a meeting of the board of directors here last week. Representatives of the Colo rado association were present to ask for a consolidation of state offices. If the arrangement is ratified by the Colorado members it will result in practically doubling the amount of wheat to be handled thru the Tren ton office. Bruce Lamsport, formerly with the Washington, Wheat Growers' associ ation, has been named as manager of the Nebraska organization and is In charge of the Trenton office. A P. Heald, president of the Citizens state bank of Trenton, is secretary-treasurer of the co-operative marketing institution. J. L. Hull of Hastings is president of the board of directors. HAS BED EOT TEAM The Horning team from south of this city claims to be one of the real baseball organizations in this part of the county and a short time ago en gaged the Murray Wildcats in a full nine innings of the national pastime and the score of the battle was 15 to 14 in favor of the Horning team. The battery of the Horning team was "Speed" Smith and "Chuck" Fulton and Smith retired eleven of the Murray on strikeouts. Journal want ads pay. Try them.

THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK THE BANK WHERE YOU FEEL AT HOME PLATTSMOUTH NEBRASKA. Member Federal Reserve SELF STARTERS ARE ALL WORKING WELL TODAY Plenty of "Amperage" in the Storage Batteries of the City to Turn Over the Merchandise. From Saturday's lalljr The powerful 100 amperage hour storage batteries have nothing on Plattsmouth merchants when it comes to turning over the "self starters." For there's that many hours in the self ttarter campaign carried on in connection with Platts mouth's first big community clear ance sale. This morning when the sale was opened up the Belf starters were all working in great shape, as they wiil continue to do throughout the seven days of clean-up selling. The self starters of the day were Rebal's 50c brooms for 29c: dress sox worth 20c for 8c, and beef roasts at 13c per pound. Monday's list of "starters" is of equal attractiveness, and so on thru out the week, ending up with Ford day on Saturday, when in addition to the "starters," there will be nu merous prizes offered to thofe who drive the universal car. It was very pleasing to the pcore of merchants associated together in putting on this sale, to see it start off so well and the alertness of the public in snapping up the bargains bespeaks the fact that a community clearance of this kind is appreciated by the patrons. It is but reasonable to expect a merchant would . prefer closing out broken lots of seasonable merchan dise rather than carry them over to another season, and this is the one big idea of this sale. Of course there are reduced prices on many articles for which there is a year 'round demand, but not so marked as in the case of the seasonable goods and the "starters," which are of course calculated to be interest arousers in the sale. Too much Btress cannot be laid on the Importance of the buying public's response to this tale. Many real bargains will be found in the various ads which appear again in todays Journal. Consulting the list of prices one can save a great deal of money in all lines of goods from, clothing to groceries and at the same time know he has gotten regu lar stock merchandise, which is often not the case with city store sales of this kind, when vast quantities of cheap goods are shipped in and un loaded on an unsuspecting public. If the country merchant were to practice the same methods of du plicity followed by many of the city stores, who depend on an ever-chang- SH00TING ON BANGE STABTS From Frlday'B Dally. This morning a detachment of the soldiers from the 17th infantry sta tioned at Fort Crook, was brought to the rifle range in trucks to start in on their school of fire on the range for the rest of the week. The 17th infantry will all be here off and on for the season shooting prior to thecoming of the Nebraska National Guard in August. Durfng the use of the range for the shooting the resi dents of the community are warned to keep off the grounds as it is ex tremely dangerous to trespassers. Appreciation! i
