PRESIDENT SETS FIRE PREVENTION DAY, OCT. 9 Washington, Sept. 21. President Harding in a proclamation issued to day, called upon the country to set aside Monday, October 9, as fire pre vention day. and to observe it in such a manner as to impress upon the peo ple the "Importance of precaution ary measures for the avoidance of fires." "It has long been a reproach of our country." the president said in the proclamation, "that by reason of poor construction, inadequate facil ities for fire prevention and all too general carelessness about possible causes of conflagration, our fire waste reaches figures year after year which are not approached in any other country in the world." That's why when tailors and oth ers advertise that the immediate pas sage of the tariff bill is to be a sig nal for a general price advance on all woolen goods, buncoing in a large measure of the public. For present prices are based on the after war surplus and the fact that the emer gency tariff has practically been an embargo to help use those surpluses up. One of the most uninteresting de vices we can think of is an alarm clock that insists on ringing at the usual hour regardless of the time a fellow wants to get up. Blank Book at the Journal Office.

Yesterday afternoon Manager Bob Stivers and his warriors from Cedar Creek motored down to mix it up with the local baseball team and as a result of the meeting the Cedar Creen team returned home defeated by the score of 6 to 3. The locals started right out after j the goat of the visitors and main tained a ciear ieaa umu me seventn inning. In the opener Herold hit a nasty one to left garden and was perched safely on first base and O'Donnell then attempted to sacri fice but he got it too far and Mei singer, the visitors' pitcher, threw Pete out at second. "Werden also at tempted a bunt and which also re sulted in Meisinger getting O'Don nell at second and Werden was also nipped at first base. The first blood was drew by the locals in the third inning. Herold opened with a fly to left field and was followed by O'Donnell who tried to for a sacrifice but flew out to short. Werden laid down a clean bunt that advanced Pete to the second station and when Shepherd rapped a two bagerto second, Pete scored. In the fourth frame the locals made their second score. Joe Mc Carthy, the village Waite Hoyt, hit one of Rudolph's slants to the center field and advanced when William Haivey Mason placed a real bunt in to the diamond that the visitors could not handle and which left both players safe. Sprecher was out on a grounder to Meisinger. Frank Grad oville, the clever young shortstop, made possible the first score with a rap to center on which McCarthy scored. Herold closed the inning on an infield drive to second. Another was chalked up for the Plattsmouth boys in the sixth when Ed Gradoville, who did the back stopping, was hit iu the ribs and giv en his base and advanced when Mc Carthy placed a hot one through the pitcher. -When Frank Gradoville hit to right garden Ed scored in a hot race for the plate and Koop, the vis itors' catcher who was blocking the line, was threw for a five yard loss by Gradoville. The fatal seventh inning saw the visitors come from behind and tie the score our sterlings had been pil ing up. Shinn was hit on the heel by McCarthy and sent to first and Har old Koop followed and was safe when Werden failed to hold his grounder and both men registered when Reichart hit to center. On the infield hit of Knutson that Herold failed to hold. Reichart scored and the hopes of the visitors' rose to fever heat with the prospects of victory, but they were soon dashed as the locals in their half of the inning came back and hung up two safe ones for a lead. O'Donnell hit to right field and was able to score on the grounder of Werden to short. Ed Gradoville secured a hit through j short and while it was only good for one base by the time the rival i team had jazzed the ball around the diamond Gradoville had registered at the plate. The last run of the locals came in the eighth when Mason was hit by Meisinger, sacrificed by Frank Grad oville and registered when Herold hit to center for a safety. The visitors have a good and clean organization of ball players as can be found in any place of the same size of Cedar Creek and certainly have reason to be well pleased with their showing this season on the dia mond.

One body was missing today among those of the forty-seven gold miners who perished from gas in the Argonaut shaft. By a whim of fate it was the body of William Fessell, the man who wrote on the rock with the smoke of his miner's lamp a farewell message for all the doomed forty seven. It was believed possible that he evidently a leader of the stricken shift had crept from the chamber of death to a higher level, hoping to find some means of escape for his comrades. The men from the bureau of mines were certain, however, that they countey forty-seven bodies last Monday night. They considered it most likely that Fessell's body was buried by a cave-in since the work of removal began. The state industrial accident com mission has been instructed to cut away and preserve that portion of the stone in the mine drift on which Fessell burned with his lamp the only message left by the miners. Clarence E. Jarvis. member of the state board of control, said the stone would be kept by the state in mem ory of the victims. The words written on the stone, Jarvis said, were: "Gas getting bad, 3 o'clock." Below the figure "4" had been burned and a portion of the letter "O." Fessell is believed to have suc cumbed to the gas at that point. Your ad will cany punch if yon write it as a plain "selling talk" in stead of trying to fuss it up with frills and exagerationi. DAKOTA LEAGUER OFFERS PLAN OF MERGER IN 1923 Crifro.p.eto Consolidation of His Or r 3 - id rra-niToirm -until flip UVhrnelrn Is Loop No Reply Given. Mike Cantillion, president of the Dakota league, which comprises four cities in South Dakota and a similar number in North Dakota, is anxious to interest magnates of the Nebraska league in a scheme to organize a new Nebraska-Dakota loop. Presi dent Mike, known in Lincoln by reason of his former ownership of the Des Moines club of the Western league sixteen years ago, has written several Nebraska league owners pro poring that the four best towns of the Dakota circuit be linked with the four best cities of the Miles loop in forming the new organization. The executive of the Dakota league has heard rumblings of Sioux City's retirement from the Western league and hints that Sioux town would be a desirable acquisition for his pro posed N-D loop, while he suggests that Lincoln also miuht wish to re tire from the Nebraska league to take membership in the new circuit. Grand Island and Norfolk of the Ne braska league are mentioned by Can tillion as possible members, while Council Bluffs, he says, also might be taken into the fold. Owners of the Lincoln franchise in the Nebraska league said today that they were not in position to give the Dakota league president a definite reply. Negotiations for the sale of Landis field to a syndicate of Lin coln men who aspire to place the Nebraska capital city in the West ern league may come to a head with in the near future. The syndicate will ask the local magnates to put a price on their park, both on a rent al and outright basis, and in case the price is right the deal may be closed at an early date. In that event, Lin coln would step back into the west ern league. Lincoln Star. MILLIONS LOANED ON FARMING LAND Joint Stock Land Bank Floats Big Eond Issue to Bun 20 Years and Bedeemed After 5. Two and a half million dollars of new 5 per cent bonds issued by the Lincoln Joint Stock Land bank, as the basis of. an equal amount of pros pective loans to be made in the near future have just been sold to a syn dicate comprising three of the larg est bond and investment houses in the middle west.

LESS SALUTING IN THE ARMY IN FUTURE Regulations to be Amended to Do Away with Nuisance that was Unpopular with All. Washington. Sept. 22. Army reg ulations are soon to be amended to do away with much of the exchange of salutes between officers and men in public places. Experience during the war, when large numbers of officers were in Washington and other centers of military effort has convinced war department officials that strict ad herence to existing regulations made the required exchange of salutes up on every meeting a nuisance, and led "to a general disregard of the regulations among officers by com mon consent. The revised regulations will re strict the exchange of salutes for both officers and men to military reservations, except where they may address one another while in uni form on the streets or in other pub lic places. SHOP FORCES ARE NEAR NORMAL, SAY EXECUTIVES Washington, Sept. 21.

It means lost power, reduced compres sion and expensive repairs in most motors. But here is a motor that actually thrives on carbon- The Willys-Knight Motor improves with use because accumulated carbon helps to tighten compression Quiet powerful smooth-running it is entirely free from the usual motor Prices Effective Today: OVERLAND MODELS Overland 4, Touring $620.00 Overland 4, Eoadster 620.00 Overland 4, Coupe 910.00 Overland 4, Sedan 994.00 Overland Commercial chassis 510.00 repair costs. And the motor is as simple and understandable as it is economical. The valve mechanism for instance just two rleeves sliding smoothly on a film cf oil, instead of noisy, rapid-wearing poppet valves and springs. The Willys-Knight is not only beau tiful, graceful, easy-riding; it has been built to last and match the quiet motor.

House of Deputies Overrules Em phatic Protest by Delegate From Virginia. Portland, Ore., Sept. 22. The ses-' sion of the house of deputies last ; night was enlivened by an attack by Rcswell Page of Beaver Dam, Va., upon a proposed new prayer in the communion service. "You have introduced into this. ! the most sacred of all ouf services," he said, "new prayers and new cere- ' monials, distasteful to many of us. You pray to the blessed Virgin Mary. I don't care what the people of Bos ton, or New York, or Milwaukee think, I represent the people of old Virginia and know what they think. I protest, sir, against this prayer." The protest was unavailing. The whole service as revised was adopt ed. A change was made in a prayer which read: "Have mercy on all Jews, Turks, infidels and heretics." The words of the new prayer areH nave mercy on an wno Know inee not." In proposing the change the Rev. Dr. C. L. Slattery of New York, sec retary of the prayer book revision commission, stated: "I think, as Christians, .that we should show a spirit of charity of Christianity ' to the Jewish people. This prayer is an insult to them. By removing it we are extending the hand of Christian fellowshop to them." Seek to Revive Healing Ministry The Protestant Episcopal church in the United States was formally placed on record in recognition of the ministry of healing by the action of the house of bishops last night, the house of deputies already having taken action along the same line at the general convention here.

A commission to consider the mat ter of healing further was named. ANNOUNCEMENT UNION PACIFIC OFFICIALS INSPECT 1T0N PROPERTY Bloomington. 111.. Sept. 21. Es corted by Chief Operating Officer A. P.
