PLEASANT SOCIAL GATHERING
From Friday's Dally.
Last evening a very pleasant ice
cream social was enjoyed by the
members of the Epworth League of
the Methodist church on the law,n of
the church. The members of the
gathering enjoyed games of all kinds
and also the very delicious ice cream
and cake which had bet-n provided

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.
TAKES UP NEW W0EK
George F. Dovey of this city has
returned to Chicago where he is ex
pecting to make his home for the
present at least, and will enter the
employ of Morris Whiting, one of
the leading banking and trust com
pany magnates of that city. 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. Mr. Dovey is a
graduate of the schools here and has
been attending the University of
Nebraska and is a young man of
more than usual brightness and abil
ity and in his work in Chicago
should prove a very valuable man.
' Mr. Whiting is a son of Harley
Whiting, an old time engineer on
the Burlington, and who worked
here prior to 1SSS and the family
after that removed to the east where
the son later engaged in the bank
ing business.

MABBEED IN LINCOLN
From Friday's Dally.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Edna

tored to Lincoln and were quietly
married by the county judge. Only
her sister, Mrs. A. J. Trimble ana
her husband, were present witnesses.
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.

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.

There are a number of other can

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

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.

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-
