MONDAY, JULY 9, 1923. FLATTSMOUTH SEMI -WEEKLY JOURNAL PAGC THRJE1 A JL JL jourm? LADIES WORKING ON TOURIST PARK IMPROVEMENT Will Probably Result in the City Having a Real Stopping Place for Those Passing Thru. The often discussed but little acted upon tourist park on Washington avenue may in the near future come Into Its own and become what was the plan of Its sponsor when the project was first launched two years ago. . .. - -. ... -- The ladles of Plattsmouth through their several organizations are on the Job In urging improvement in the park and not only are they giving their moral support to the project, but are putting in real work and money into helping out the better ment of conditions there. The Wom an's club has Just installed a stove in the northwest section of the park that can be used by campers rest ing there, and which is one step in the direction of a better place for those who pass through our city and desire to stop over night. It has been long urged by this organization that something definite be done and they have received assurance from the city and the park board cf co operation and have taken the initia tive in the matter. It will be recalled that when the American Legion donated the work to grade down the unsightly obstruc tions in the center of the grounds, a fund was raised among the business men to pay the team owners and it "was agreed that any remaining bal ance after the work was done was to be turned over to the park commis sion and expended by them in the improvement of this park and ap proximately $100 was left for this purpose. The W. C. T. U. has voted the sum of 50 for the purpose of screening the old band stand that now reposes in the park and the park board has given promise of seeing that the stand is removed to a suitable place in the park and provided with a per manent foundation bo that It can be made into a shelter for those who might be caught there in a storm or desire to stop there over night. These improvements will certainly be appreciated by the traveling pub lic and are a great step forward, but the ladies need the co-operation and support of the city in seeing that the park is made a real place of comfort for those who travel through here. Mayor Johnson has some very ex cellent ideas as to making the park a credit to the city and if they ma terialize - the city will have a place of which they could be proud rather than have to apologize for, as is the case at the present time. The improvements made will 1? permanent and will mean that the: park will be exclusively aevotea to the purpose of a tourist park and not given over to attractions that might cause damage or injuries to the grounds in any way such as has been the case In the past.

JL JL O a fair yield of Wheat promised Nebraska Crop Probably Will Aver age 75 Per Cent of Normal Harvest Hands Needed. The wheat crop in Nebraska will probably average somewhere near 75 per cent of normal this year, ac cording ot the report of the agricul tural extension service, with some counties going as high as So per cent and others as low as 40. The begin ning1 of the harvest shows a some what checkered condition thl3 yeir due to the excessive rains followed by stretches of dryness. " However, harvest has started in a number of localities although the greater bulk of the work will probably begin the latter part of this week. The average harvest wage offered so far is $4 a day which is about fifty cents higher than that of last year. Calls for harvest hands to date show that there will be a demand for about 3.000 men this week. Clay county alone asks for nearly 300 Gage county will use probably 200 men. The wheat there will run about S5 per cent of normal this year. Har vest started there June 27 and is now well under way. Work will start in the fields of Kimball county about July 20 and it is expected that there will be need for 300 to 500 men at that time. CLIFF DWELLERS" GATHERING Frorj Saturday's Daily. The "Cliff Dwellers," as the resi dents in the Herold apartments on the top of the Fourth street hill have designated themselves, enjoyed a very fine time yesterday after the heat of the day had. passed and dur ing this time regailed themselves with several games of tennis on the new courts before the coming of darkness. A fine beefsteak roast fur nished an agreeable feature of the gathering as well as story telling and the evening concluded with a song fest in which all of the party joined and produced some very allur ing harmonies that were much en joyed. Those taking part in the gath ering were: Mr. and Mrs. Henry Herold, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Sedgwick and son, Gerald: Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Sanderson and daughter, Ruth; Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Brady and Jean.

Saturday by Station ETAO. 4 Monday the night. Send the bo v - telegram. They will give the world a mighty fine band program. Wouldn't you like to hear him say "Los Angelese" again? "The World is Waiting for the Eagles band to play." How did you like the splendid fight service from WOAW nednesday? There will be no changes in the printed program. By the way, how many did you mail? Randall's orchestra always makes a hit with the radio fans. Their pro gram last night was especiall' fine. fieorue onl, nko I ever ready to rantriliutp in the Interest of advert IkI tic I'lnf Inutoul li, will Klve a SIO cnwlt prise to the one faenriucr our program the greatest distance from Omahn. That's the right kind of spirit. Di rectly, it won't do George a penny's worth of good, but he knows that ad vertising the town helps it, and that in turn will help him and you and me. Let's see more of this progres sive spirit. It Is rumored the corn is growing so tall in Iowa that WOC's (Watch Our Corn) wave can't get out over it. Which may account for inability to pick up this splendid station here. Perhaps their wave travels only east over Illinois, where the corn doesn t grow so tall. Who knows? Just to show us Station WOAW is reaching out despite the static and mid-summer disturbances our old friend Orson Stiles, director of broad casting mailed up photographic cop ies of three communications picked at random from their daily mail one frm Pennsylvania, one from Louisiana and one from Mississippi. Three-Nights-a-Week Schedule As heretofore stated Station WOC, Davenport, is operating on summer schedule. Aside from their early evening chimes concert, sports review and bedtime stories which are given nightly for the benefit of Davenport and vicinity fans, they broadcast pro grams only on Sunday, Wednesday and Saturday nights. The Sunday evening program includes church ser vice at S and a two hour musical pro gram by P. S. C. orchestra beginning at 9. Wednesday evening, pipe or gan recital at S and the late musical program from 10 to 11, followed by Tourist's road report. Saturday night, dance program. 9:30 to 10:30. Will Expedite Messages For the benefit of local listeners, who wish to congratulate those ap pearing on Monday night's radio pro gram, the Western Union has ar ranged to give extra fast service on messages filed that night. Telephone calls have proven very Impractical of late for the reason that Omaha list eners "hog" the line, and often when the long distance operator is able to get the call through the concert is over. It would look like the tele phone company would install separ ate lines into the station for hand ling long distance calls exclusively, at its own expense, rather than lose the $25 to 530 a day revenue ability to get calls through promptly would mean. However, the cost of a ten word telegram is only 35 cents, and it carries the advantage of greater accuracy than a telephone call. Un doubtedly there will be many more from here send messages the night of the concert than did on the occa sion of the former one, when tele phone messages were greatly delayed. Soldering is Very Important In radio it's the small things that count and you can't expect maximum results from your set unless you con struct it with the same care and pre cision as a Jeweler assembles the mechanism of a watch. A common cause of noisy reception is lack of extreme care In soldering connections to' the tips of phone jacks and which allow a small leakage between ter minals. Solder, correctly used. Is the radio fan's best friend. However, if not properly applied, it may cause him more hidden trouble than any thing else. In using a resin core flux it is best to have the iron pretty hot. If not, the resin instead of fluxing out is apt to coat the connection and de feat the very purpose of the solder, namely to maintain an unobstructed passageway for the current. An acid core solder can be used with, the iron considerably colder, but extreme care should be taken to guard against any excess acid on your wires more than the amount absolutely required to make the solder "stick." It is also important that the iron be kept well tinned to permit a smooth transfer of the solder from it to a desired con nection and that It never be allowed to become red hot. If it does, dress it lightly with a file, re-tin and wipe off with a cloth to prevent any of the tinning flux working its way In to your connections. A little prac tice will enable you to determine' when your iron is "Just right." Gen-; erally speaking, it is said to be when' the tinned surface begins to assume a liquid state. In making a smooth! joint, the principle of soldering must! be understood and applied. The heat-: ed iron should be held on the desired! connection until it becomes nearly as hot as the iron itself, then apply the point to your solder, securing Just enough to do the Job and no more. Again apply the iron to the connec tion and hold it there until the wires become as hot as the iron itself. At this time, if your iron is properly tin ned a smooth transfer of the solder will take place and with a little prac-i tice you will be able to make as nice! looking connections as found in any' manufactured set. ' ILLITERACY IN THE STATE SHOWN FOR EACH OF COUNTIES Table Prepared Shows that Cass County Banks Well in Per centage of Intelligent, Following the example of Ken tucky, where the work of redeeming adults from illiteracy began under the leadership of Mrs. Cora Wilson Stewart, many states have been car rying on a campaign to blot out il literacy among their people. Every where the results have been most gratifying. Nebraska has not yet awakened to her duties and opportunities in this movement. Consequently she has for feited her rank in the scale of liter acy to her Iowan neighbor, who has adopted a standard of one hundred per cent literacy for her citizens. The following table gives the per centage of illiteracy for several Ne braska counties. Thurston county has the largest per cent of illiteracy (3.9). This is due in a measure to the Indian population. Thurston, 3.9. Scottsbluffs, 2.7. Morril, 2.4. Kimball 2.2. Sherman, 2.1. Butler, 2.1. Gage, 2.1. Adams, 2. Lancaster, 2. Lincoln. 1.9.

Logan county is the banner coun ty for the state, having only .1 per cent of illiteracy. The 1920 census reports showed one Illiterate among the 1,000 inhabitants of Logan county. There is no greater bondage than that of the intelligent mind to whom the printed page is a sealed and for bidden realm, and for whom written expression is impossible. May Ne braska lose no time in enabling each and every citizen to enjoy his "in alienable right of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." EDITOR IS CONVICTED FOR ATTACK ON LEGION "Bums, Tramps and Vagabonds" Statement May Send Arthur Lorenz to Prison a Year Chicago, July 6. Arthur Lorenz, former editor of the Staats Zeitung, a German language newspaper, was found guilty of criminal libel again st the American Legion by a Jury after only thirty minutes delibera tion today.. Lorenz was indicted in connection with the publication In the news paper of an editorial referring to the Legion members in derogatory terms. A motion for a new trial will be heard July 21. If motion for a new trial is denied, Judge Hugo Pam will impose sen tence, which may be a year in the penitentiary or a $500 fine or both.. Lorenz did not take the stand in his own defense. The editorial to which the Legion objected was print ed in December, 1921, and charged that Legion members were "bums, tramps and vagabonds" and that the Legion was "bought with British gold to suppress truth." DOINGS IN THE DISTRICT COURT From Saturday's Dally. An action entitled John William Simmons vs. Jacob L. Phillips et al, was filed in the district court today by John M. Leyda, attorney for the plaintiff. The suit is to quiet title to real estate In this city. A short session of the district court will be held on Monday as Judge Begley, who is at his summer home at Carter Lake, will be here to take up what matters may come be fore him. What is nicer than a record of "Baby?" The Bates Book and Sta tionery store has just received a fine line of "Baby Books," in -which the ' pictures and sayings of the little one can be kept for the future years.

CELEBRATION OF FOURTH TAKES ITS USUAL TOLL Score Killed and More Than Hundred Injured in Various Parts of the Country Missouri Leads.' Chicago, July 5. A score of deaths and over a hundred injuries resulted from fireworks explosions and other accidents incidental to the nation's observance of Independence day yes terday, according to reports from var ious sections of the country.' . Al though efforts to prevent the usual casualties were universal, fatalities occurred in all the principal cities of the country in addition to numerous minor injuries. Most of those killed were children. Exploding firecrackers or powder caused injuries resulting in death to Orville Cramer, Danville. 111., and Joseph Javarone, Gloversville, N. Y., in whose pockets two giant firecrack ers exploded. A flying piece of steel from an exploding barrel instantly killed Mike Auritch. St. Cloud. Minn. In New York, Peter Vacarelli was shot and killed when a pistol in the hands of bis chum exploded accident ally. Francis Gordon succumbed to heart failure when a firecracker ex ploded under his feet. Dominic Gior dano died of lockjaw. Three persons were killed in Chi cago in holiday observances. One man was shot by an officer who mis took him for a criminal, another was shot during an altercation at a pic nic and a third was drowned. Drownings were reported at New Orleans and Anniston, Ala. Frank Bergeron, New Orleans, died as a result of a broken neck, re ceived in an automobile accident. St. Louis led middle western cities in the number of injured, sixty-one persons in the state requiring hos pital care for injuries, many of whom were from St. Louis. Joseph Korepa, Cedar Rapids, la., blacksmith, was probably fatally in jured when he peered into the muz zle of a toy cannon to ascertain why a charge of powder and paper wads failed to explode. Three boys in Westville, N. J., were badry burned in an explosion of a package of pow der to which they touched a match. A similar accident occurred to three boys at Beloit, Wis. Nine of Chicago's twenty-six per sons who received hospital attention yesterday were injured by stray bul lets or buckshot, according to re ports. Four persons riding in auto mobiles sustained slight injuries from stray shots and one man riding on a suburban train was wounded in the arm. A revolver cartridge, placed on a car track, exploded when the wheels struck it and the bullet wounded a man standing on the front porch of her home. Fatalities and injuries by states, compiled from available reports were as follows: Dead Injured New York 3 12 Pennsylvania 5 Illinois ' 5 28 Minnesota 1 Ohio 3 Alabama 1 Utah 1 Louisiana 3 11 California 1 Iowa 2 Wisconsin 3 New Jersey 3 Missouri 61 Total 23 120 Buffalo, N. Y., July 5. Four drownings and fourteen injuries from explosive fireworks made up the total of Buffalo's Fourth of July casualties. There were no deaths from fire works, most of the accidents result ing in burns or loss of fingers. Detroit, July 5. Michigan's cele bration of Independence day brought death to at least four persons, while numerous others received injuries ranging from burned fingers to the loss of eyesight. OSTEOPATH PRAISES GOLFING AS EXERCISE New York, July 6. If golf inter feres with business, drop business is the advice given by Dr. F. P. Mil lard, of Toronto at the annual con vention of the American Osteopathic association. "Dropping business now and then Is a good way to make the business row and to have some fun with it besides." Dr. Millard said. "Golf is a thoroughly osteopathic game, and no one getting on toward middle age, with a tendency to stiff ness of the spine or creakiness of the joints, can fail to benefit by it. Take the swing of the clubs. Consider how it limbers up the wrist, it's marvel ous. The golfer draws upon a different tennis. The 300 yard drive of the j golfer can only be made when the wrist motion is perfect. Frank Kozak, who is here from St. Louis visiting with his wife and fam ily for a few days, departed this morning for Omaha to spend the day ! and will return to St. Louis Monday and will be accompanied by a num- j ber of men from this city for work there. '. PEACE DEPENDS ON AMERICAN YOUTH, C. E, SPEAKER SAYS Dr. Ira Landrith Pleads For Return to "Old Fashioned" Religion Good Will is the Aim. Des Moines, la., July 6. The un settled vorld requins but one anti dote for its ills, the service upon which Christian Endeavor societies are based and a return to "old fash ioned religion," Dr. Ira Landrith of Chicago, extension secretary and edi tor of the Christian Endeavor World, declared in an address tonight before the international convention. The welfare of the world, he said, depends 011 the younger generation of America. It was the duty of Chris tian Endeavor, he added, to give America and the world a succession of generations of right thinking young people. Tracing the growth of Christian Endeavor since it was founded 42 years ago. Dr. Landrith declared it was opportune that the movement came into its present strength at a time "when the world's supreme m-ed is a dependability upon bright and unselfish generations." "Commerce, society and the state are clamoring for the ethics of Christianity, the practice of the Ser mon on the Mount; in a word, a sane and universal return to what every body calls 'old fashioned religion.' Real Remedy Untried "A hundred nostrums were tried, instead of the one real remedy for the moral ills of humanity, and there was no cure. War did its best and worst to make men virtuous by bat tle, social medicines were fried and the pain of the heart of the world grew worse and moral paralysis be gan. "And all the while there was jut one need a trained generation that thinks right, speaks right, does right and is right. God's only be gotten son is the only Savior of the youth of America and the salvation of the youth of America is the only hope of the world. "The Christian Endeavor Is conse crated to just such evangelistic ser vice as has been acknowledged the universal need." A. J. Shartle of Boston told the delegates Industrial peace might be achieved and the problems of the world might be solved through the application of the golden rule. "The teachings of Jesus, when ap plied to human relations, will solve all disputes," he said. "It is because of the faith we have in the efficacy of thf.s principle, that we are bold enough to suggest a program of world peace based upon good will." Missions Open New Fields ThaJ .'the pioneering in foreign fields of American missionaries was not only spreading Christianity, but opening up new fields for commerce and broadening the influence of American ideals, was the statement of E. P. Gates, general secretary of the society. At another convention session to night 500 persons participated in a pageant entitled "The N wLIfe." di rected by Prof. H. Augustine Smith of Boston, and a concert was given by the 5001voice chorus. At the afternoon session the dele gates adopted a resolution declaring their opposition to 12-hour working days in industries and heard Freder ick Wallace, New York, outline fields of endeavor that should be enlargf i, particularly the work among aliens, submerged peoples of Europe and Asia, and unfortunates of all classes. The spectacular feature of the con vention is set for tomorrow, when more than 10,000 persons are to join a parade intended to demonstrate the strength of the movement. Denomi national conferences will occupy most of the delegates during the day. THE FABLE OF "TUT" Three thousand years ago lived an Egyptian king nam ed Tut-Ankh-Amen. This sounded like a Stutter and the Gang at the Luxor Golf club called him "Tut." When "Tut" reached the Cake Eater age and got his hair plastered back Right he died. Dying was one of the leading Egyptian indoor sports and Tut's death was a major event. They slipped him into a swell tomb in the Valley of the Kings. Three thousand years later a party of Snoopers dug up Tut's tomb and all the Junk buried with him. The advertising men took charge of Tut and in a few weeks have given him a Rep which makes Charlie Chap lin's. "Doug's" and M. "Day-By-Day" Cone's look like a last year's almanac in com parison. Dead for 3,000 years! Lost! Forgotten! Then. Bang! Advertised, and the whole world hollers for more news of Tut! If advertising can thus put life into a Dead One what can it do for a Live One? For a Live Business For YOUR business? They could have dug up a hundred Tuts in the desert and if they had kept the good news to themselves only a few Bald - Headed Historians would have ever known it. You can have the best merchandise in the world. But if the world does not get Hep to it the business will sleep along peacefully. Remember "Tut." 4-
