Try a Ride in the Very Best Modern Motor Car Greenwood, Nebraska Legion Auxiliary Has Very Pleas ant Time Friday Entertained at the Home of Mrs. Ed Fullerton Yesterday Afternoon With Large Attendance. From Saturday's Dally Yesterday afternoon the ladies of the American Legion Auxiliary were most delightfully entertained at the home of Mrs. Edward Fullerton and who was assisted in the program by Mrs. Herman Tiekotter, Mrs. Faye McCIintock and Mrs. Carl Tiekotter. After the ladies had disposed of the business portion of the meeting the afternoon was turned over to the legislative program which con sisted of the reading of the United States constitution and the discus sion of this historical document as well as current events of the na tional and international interest, chief of which was the world court. The ladies also completed the work of disposing of the number on their fine quilt that had been donated and the proceeds of which were to go to the Legion community building fund. The quilt was awarded to Mrs. William Kraeer. The meeting was especially Inter esting in the tact that seven new members were present and enjoyed the fine program and meeting that had been arranged by the hostesses and which was both profitable and pleasurable. - The Auxiliary are planning on making their next meeting guest day and at which time each, member is requested to bring a guest eligible for membership to the Auxiliary At the close of the afternoon dainty and delicious refreshments were served that added rery much to. the enjoyment of all of the mem bers present and the members of the party were more than delighted with the royal hospitality afforded them. The Cass County Bridge and High way association, which was recently organized for the purpose of creating and crystallizing public sentiment for an adequate system of bridges over the Missouri river, is gaining momentum and supporters constant ly. Many letters of inquiry are re ceived and the correspondence shows a growing interest in the program as laid out. The following leaflet has been prepared and it being mail ed out from the headauarters at Eagle to all inquiries and to parties both in Nebraska and Iowa who likely push the organization work In ancient times, when conquest was the chief pastime of people, mas sive walls and natural barriers were used for tribal protection, to retard the invasion of the enemy. As time past these same natural barriers be came the boundry line between es tablished governments, and are, to a great extent, so utilized at the present time. But the war-like activi ties of tribes and nations, states and communities have been almost en tirely overcome. Civilization has de veloped a new era; and the invasion of today is commercial rather than ruthless murder. The Missouri river would, at one time, have served as a barrier to re tard the invasion of the enemy, but today it serves as a barrier to re tard the advance of commercial enter prise. It does not stop the advance, because civilization a mighty en gine driven by omnipotent power cannot be stopped. But it does re tard and interfere with the inexor able, onward march of progress. Man has devised means of overcoming these barriers, and no longer are there inaccessible parts of the world. The areoplane and automobile have made neighbors of all humanity. Boats and ferries made the cross ing of streams no great hardship, and great armies have been trans ported in this manner. Then came the railroads, aad to avoid the de lay of such transportation aeross streams, bridges were built. In many cases they were also used for the purpose of accommodating teams and footmen. These, in turn, where traffic was heavy, were supplemented by bridges and only for the one pur pose. Here in Nebraska we have reach ed the latter stage. The time is at hand when we are retarding civili zation by not having adequate facili ties for crossing this obstruction. We are holding up our own prosper ity by neglecting to open entry gates One of the great needs of the state is a system of bridges across this river which will permit and invite invasion bv the great commercial army which is ever marching west ward. The cost of this great enterprise will not be a burden if taken hold of in an intelligent manner. South Dakota built five bridges across the Missouri river at a total cost of two million dollars in round numbers, notwithstanding the fact that Feder al engineers had estimated one of these at one million eight hundred thousand dollars and South Dakota built them without assistance from anywhere, as the state lies on both sides of the river. Our bridges, will cost more perhaps, but we will not have the entire cost to contend with as Iowa and Missouri are parties to the enterprise. We have built a ten million dollar State House and paid for it without noticing the cost. The same levy, continued after the com pletion of the State Capitol, will in two or three years pay all of our part of this entire bridge program. and we will never miss it, or regret it. The purpose of this organization is to drive this fact home to the peo ple of the state in such a forceful manner that they will demand action. Adequate facilities cannot be provid er by private mean3, and it is not desirable that they should. The prosperity of the state is the con cern of all, and this program should be a state enterprise. Cass county is already organized for the campaign, but it is not de sirable, even were we selfish in the matter, for one county to shoulder all this responsibility. Inasmuch as the plan is a statewide one, and for a system of bridges adequate to the needs, there should be organization from South Dakota to Kansas. We of course, when the proper time comes, will present the claims of Plattsmouth, and hope to secure the location of one of the bridges, but our program is broad and generous, and by assisting us you will also assist your county, and only by a united, unselfish, harmonious team effort can the big idea succeed. You and your county are invited and urged to co-operate with us, and have a part In this undertaking. We are striving to so present the matter to the State of Nebraska and the State of Iowa also the State of Missouri at Rulo that joint action may be had in building a program of six bridges at points to be de signed by the legislature, which will make continuous the most important Inter-state highways. To do this it will be necessary to have the co-op eration of, more especially' the river counties, on both sides, but eventu-j ally the legislative delegations from out state. . If you believe this is a worth while undertaking and are willing to use! your influence and lend your assist ance toward its accomplishment, your co-operation will aid materially in the 'work.

Representative Tilson, of Con- Representing the American Elec tric Railway association, the Amer ican Gas association and the Nation al Electric Light association, Philip If. Gadsden, vice president of the United" Gas Improvement company, of Philadelphia, has presented to the Senate Finance committee a proposed amendment to the income tax law designated to take future issues of municipal securities for public util ity purposes out vof the tax-exempt! classes. In a memorandum support ing the amendment, Mr. Gadsden says: "The rural dweller, upon whose shoulders at the present time the burdens of taxation are peculiarly oppressive, makes his annual con tribution to the federal government through all of the public service open to his use and enjoyment.

While the feet of Saint Patrick never trod the American continent, his spiritual intervention is believed by the devout to have rid a portion of American territory of a plague as dangerous as that of the serpents which he is reported to have driven out of Ireland. According to a legend here, the island was infested by ants and worms in the year 1536. The ants were especially vicious. They invaded the houses 'and attacked the inhabi tants. Several infants died from bites. The worms devoured garden produce and the cattle starved for lack of grass which was destroyed by both pests. The chief inquisitor of the Span ish inquisition conferred with the bishop of this, the oldest Roman Catholic diocese in the new world, and it was decided to select a partic ular saint to appeal to for aid in the matter.
