I Country School
is Getting Better
with Each Year
Reorganization Effected Iraring the
Past Year Has Improved the
Efficiency of Teachers.
From Saturday's Dally
The rural schools of Nebraska are
steadily raising their standards and
'with better housing and better teach
ing are growing more emciem. mis
is the opinion of I. N. Clark of the
state superintendent's office, who has
this class of schools particularly
under his official wing.
The new course of study put into
effect a year ago has had consid
erable to do with it. This provides
for linking up instruction with the
ordinary activities of the children J
and those with whom they come In
i contact. Arithmetical problems, tor
i instance, are couched in terms with
(which they are familiar, in terms of
crops anl farm work. This vitalizes
l the instruction because It is calcu
lated to enchain the attention of the
children.
The rural schools were reorgan
ized at about the same time. The
;four higher grades have always had
tew pupils in them, but under the
I system of dividing the classes ac-
coniintr to errulps thf tfailipr Tind an
arly Christmas
this year, as we have decided to close out
this entire line of our stock at just one-half
price, which means fully 20 per cent below
the first cost of the goods. Our line is prin
cipally the famous Madam Herndern mam
ma doll, the very best on the market, but we
are going to quit handling the doll line this
year, and want' to clean them all up. You
will find in our line dolls from
25c to
all marked in plain figures, and will go at just ONE
HALF of this price. You will find them on display

Andrew Stohlman, of Lincoln, Plain

Andrew Stohlman, of Lincoln,
sends us a few lines to inform us
that the damage suit of their son.
LeRoy Stohlman. against Doctors B.
B. and Herbert Davis, of Omaha, has
finally been settled and LeRoy was
awarded $5,000 by the jury.
The suit has been long drawn out
and of course was hotly contested,
but Mr. Stohlman assures us that
the evidence was too apparent that
.the boy's leg had suffered from ne
glect while under the care of the
defendants. As it is, his leg is in
jured for the balance of his days, but
otherwise he is enjoying very good
health and his many Cass county
friends will be pleased to learn of
the verdict so favorable to himself,
although no money could make up to
him for the suffering he has under
gone and the loss of time in school
and the many other disadvantages
that he has had to contend with.
He is a fVne young man, ambitious
and industrious, and we trust that
with time he will grow strong and
able to take a place in the world of
affairs. His many friends also con
gratulate him upon the successful
termination of his suit in court.

COLONEL C00UDGE FORE
GOES TURKEY AT DINNER
Plymouth, Vt., Nov. 27. Having
regained much of his old time vigor
since his recent series of heart at
tacks, Col. John C. Coolidge, father
of the president, sat down to an old
fashioned New England Thanksgiv
ing dinner Thursday.
Although Colonel Coolidge passed
a somewhat restless night, he ap
peared well and dined early in the
afternoon with his household, con
sisting of a nurse, his housekeeper,
and the watchman who has been
Dlaccd on guard at the little white
farm house.
One item usually associated with
Thanksgiving, turkey, was absent.
Although Vermont produces many
turkeys, chicken holds favor in this
recion at Thanksgiving time. On the
menu were chicken fricasse, stewed
onions, mashed turnips, cranberries,
creamed potatoes, rice pudding, ap
pie and mince pie and milk.
A Distressing
Accident Befalls
Louisville Lad)
Has Nose Broken and Face Badly
Bruised when Thrown Against
Car Top with Violence.
A most distressing accident befell
Mrs. P. F. Ross, wife of the keeper of
the Platte river toll bridge, on last
Friday, which has caused her great
suffering and her friends much anxi
ety.
Mrs. William Ossenkop and son.
Marion, were starting to Omaha in
their Stutz car and Mrs. Ross was ac
companying tnem tor a nay in uie
citv. The road is under const ruction
for a number of miles and is very
rough in places where new culverts
have been put in. making it neces
sary to cross tr.eso high places very
slowly. They hai proceeded about
mile when they came to one ot
these high places and while the
young man was driving at a moder
ate rate, the car lurched badly in
rossing the bad place and Mrs. Ross
was thrown so high that she struck
her face on one of the top bows in
the car.
She received some severe bruises
about the face and across the eyes
and her nose was broken and he
suffered great pain as well as from
the shock. She was taken to a near
by farm house and Dr. R. II. Worth-
man sent for at once. Ihe lirst ap
parent danger was that perhaps her
eyes were so bamy nun mat ner
sight might be impaired, but it was
found that beyond severe bruises, her
eyes were an rignt.
Mrs. Ross is standing her suffer
ng with her usual fortitude and
patience, and she, as well as her
many friends, are very mansiui mat
the injuries are no worse, as had the
blow come to other parts of her head,
he might have suffered from con
cussion, which couid easuy nave ocen
fatal. She is gaining a little every
day and we trust will soon be all
right.
Mrs. Ossenkop and son were un
njured and are deeply regretting
the accident which Mrs. Ross states
was unavoidable and that no one is
to blame in any way. Louisville

Bridge Over the
Missouri Here
Being Boosted
Eagle Beacon Kas Warm Words of
Support for Bridge at This City
Over the Big Muddy.
One of the big problems confront
ing eastern Nebraska just now is the
securing of a free bridge across the
Missouri river. Such a bridge is the
need of the hour, and will come with
in the next year or so. The first
thought which comes to the average
man is that Omaha is the natural
point for such, but we are not par
ticularly interested in Omaha.
We are primarily interested in
Eagle, then Cass county, and all Ne
braska. Reasoning thus we believe
that a free bridge will benefit all
Nebraska, and if properly located
will benefit Eagle and Cass county
For local benefit Omaha needs such
i bridge, but the vast hordes who are
annually traveling from east to west
and west to east care but little where
they cross rivers, just so they get to
their destination. They spend their
money as they go and thereby are a
benefit to the communities through
which they pass. This 13 our reason
for being interested in a free bridge
across the Missouri and our object in
urging that steps be taken to have
such a bridge built in Cass county.
If a free bridge is built at Platts
mouth, in addition to the local con
venience it would afford, the vast
throngs of tourists would be poured
across Cass county. It would be in
direct line from east to west and
place Eagle on the main line high
way from coast to coast, as well as
intermediate travel.
There is a field here for the activi
ties of our people and the people of
Cass county generally to cultivate.
g things are not done in a day, but
if we never go after them we never
get them. Eagle Beacon.
MAKES APPEAL TO THE
STATE SUPREME COURT
From Wednesday's Daily
The case of the State of Nebraska
vs. Harry l'oisaii. wincn was neiore
the district court here on Tuesday on
hearing for a new trial, was ap
pealed yesterday to the supreme
ourt by William Jameson, attorney
for the defendant.
On the appeal to the supreme
ourt suspension of sentence was
iven bv the state high court, bond
le;n-r arranged in the district court
here for the defendant and which
will b.
in force .luring the appeal of
the case.
The attorney contends that his
client did not have a fair trial be
cause the jury was informed of two
previous convictions. This informa
tion, lie alleges, is only for the court
in iixing the penalty. Mr. Jamieson
raised this question in another case
in 1919. but the supreme court re
versed it on other grounds and the
question remains undetermined.
Three pints of corn liquor was
found in Poisall's cellar. His son
from the state industrial school tes
tified that he placed the booze there
hiruself and his father knew nothing
about it.
