Legion Conven-
E
City
vent m
irad3 One of Best Ever Seen Here
and the Convention Eeceived
Warm Words of Praise
From Friday's Daily
The convention of the First dis
trict of the American Legion held in
this city Thursday was one of the
most successful of any that have
bes n held so far and the colorful
gathering of the service men was one
that left nothing more to be desired
except that the weather man might
have been more kindly in the even
ing, but the downpour of rain failed
to check the enthusiasm of the
Legionnaires and their friends who
gathered at the K. S. hall on west
Locust street for the business session
and the social features of the even
ing. The Shubert delegation was the
first to appear on the scene early in
visi
morning and was busy for the re-
inder of the day in greeting the
iting members of the Legion and
boosting their town for the 1927
convention, distributing large num
bers of the luscious red apples that
have made that portion of the state
famous.
The registration booth for the con
vention was located in the First Na
tional bank court and from noon on
the committee in charge, under di
rect Ton of Otto Keck, was kept busy
receiving the arriving delegates and
providing them with the buttons that
were to be their credentials for the
day, admitting them to the different
entertainment features and courtesies
of the afternoon and evening.
Almost 200 out-of-town Legion
naires and some SO of the members of
the local post were registered, and a
large number of late arrivals in the
evening failed to get their names on
the registration list, making a con
siderably larger number in attend
ance than tne record snows.
All cf the local committees were
functioning throughout the day and
in which i their work was very effective in ev
That thevierv wa tne chairmen of the various
groups being on tne jon constantly
and seeing that the visitors were
given real Plattsmouth hospitality all
during the day and evening.
A goodly number of the distin-
.'guished guests arrived by noon and
! were able to occupy a place at tne
'head of the parade up until the time
'they entered the reviewing stand at
i Fifth and Main streets.
The big feature of the afternoon
was the parade of the various posts
of the First district and the number
of floats that were "shown was larger
than at any previous event ever held
here, making a parade nearly half a
mile in length and one that would
have been a credit to a state gather
ing of the Legion instead of merely
the district convention and impressed
the hundreds who lined the streets
and the visiting officials of the Le
gion with the fact that the First dis
trict convention is in a class by it
self for interest and surpasses any
thing in any other part of the state.
The parade was headed by Captain
Harrison L. Gayer, commander of Co.
F, 355th Infantry, National Army,
whose military bearing and skill in
handling the parade made it a great
success. Right behind him came the
state department colors and color
guard composed of members of the
Plattsmouth post.
Next in line were two cars bearing
j distinguished state officers, who en
tered the reviewing stand to watch
the rest of the parade pass in review.
The three lady Legionnaires of the
district were also in a car behind the
department officers.
Then came the crack band of the
17th Infantry, from Fort Crook, that
set the marching pace for the posts
that followed.
Members of the Grand Army of the
Republic, the few survivors of the
Civil war, and the Woman's Relief
Corps followed the band in cars. Then
came the posts and floats.
The floats offered by the local busi
ness houses and organizations were
very beautiful and unique and all
deserve a real word of praise as they
lr?rvir1 that thp live wire eitv was nn
i v - - -
the job to show the visiting Legion
naires that they were up and going.
The M. D. A. of the local Burling
ton shops had prepared a very elab
orate float and the Home Economics
and Manual Training departments of
the high school also had very attrac
tive floats in the line of march. The
others that attracted a great deal of
attention included that of the Ruby,hearers throughout the

A special feature of the parade was
the Platts Drunk and Pungle Corpse,
preceded with a car bearing the sign.
'Down where the Fall Corn Flows."
This unique organization, led by B.
A. Kosencrans and composed of about
a dozen prominent business men and
fun-casters of the city, furnished a
great deal of laughter as the organi-

applause on all sides.
The Daughters of the American
Revolution also had a very attractive
patriotic group of young people in
the parade that carried out the
thought of the purpose- of the order.
Another of the pleasing features
of the parade was furnished by the
little son and daughter of Captain
Gayer who in their cart drawn by a
Shetland pony lent a very beautiful
touch to the parade.
The Elmwood post was represented
with their recently organized Drum
and Bugle Corps and made a very
pleasing showing. The Talma ge
post organization with their veteran
Drum and Bugle Corps arrived in the
city too late in the afternoon to ap
pear in the parade, but staged a pa
rade of their own thru the business
section during an intermission in the
band concert.
The Lincoln post was also repre
sented in the parade with two cars
of capital city Legionnaires and Forty
and Eight members.
The Nebraska City delegation was
.nother group that arrived too late
for the parade.
Plattsmouth Port at Rear
The Plattsmouth post brought up
the rear of the marching units, being
represented by its Drum and Bugle
Corps in white attire and wearing

hearty applause. The playing of the
local organization was par-excellent
and their appearance- in the parade
received much favorable comment.
Although many of the members of
the home post were assigned to de
tailed duties in connection with th?
promotion of the convention, a dozen
or more found time to get in the line
cf march behind the Drum and Bugle
corps
A string of non-decorated cars fol
lowed the riattsmouth post and be
hind them came fue Krug park
caliope, an object of interest to the
children and grown-ups as well.
The parade disbanded near the
Burlington station just before the
Plattsmouth-Cedar Creek ball game,
and many of the visiting Legion
naires took advantage of the oppor
tunity to witness the game, while
others staged impromptu parades and
otherwise entered into the fun of the
afternoon.
During the course of the ball game
the 17th Infantry band played a most
pleasing public concert from the re
viewing stand at 5th and Main, and
the Physical Training department of
the Plattsmouth High school engaged
in a number of exhibitions, including
their popular ladder pyramid.
Following this came the boxing
events, lasting until 6:"0, when mess
call was sounded and there was a
grand rush for the K. S. park where
the splendid feed prepared under di
rection of Henry Soennichsen was
served by members of the American
Legion Auxiliary. It is conservative
ly estimated that 375 were fed at the
park pavilion, as out of 400 pies only
about a dozen were left when the last
hungry man had partaken.
The post officers' conference that
was scheduled for the afternoon at
the public library was carried over
until the evening session on account
of lack of attendance, the post of
ficials prefering to mingle with the
crowd and enjoy themselves, rather
than listen to the speeches and rou
tine outline of their specific duties.
Evening Business Session
The evening business session of the
convention was held at the K. S. hall
and was largely attended. "Gloomy
Gus," popular radio announcer of
KFAB, Lincoln, was present and pro
vided entertainment for the visiting
Legionnaires as they were gathering
in the hall following the completion
of their supper, singing and playing
a number of his more popular radio
songs, including the .Nebraska Legion
song, "We're from Nee-brass-kae." a
composition of Mr. Grubb himself.
The business meeting was presided
over by Harry it. liau, or Lincoln,
senior district Executive Committee
man, who handled this part of the
convention in splendid manner.
Department Commander J. R. Kin

From Friday's Daily
Following the v rv intense

o'clock the sewer that drains the
territory along Y.'ashington avenue
was overflowed and for a few mom

business section of the ity to an

ditions that have prevailed at dif
ferent times in the past but fortun
ately the high water passed ou rapid

The water from the overflowed
sewer swept down Washington ave

and there reached to almost the top
of the curbing on the east .side of
the street and for a short time seem
ed certain to overflow onto the side
walks. The fact that the gratings that had
formerly been on the sewer inlets
had been removed gave the water a

that overflowing into Main street
was nothing near the volume that
had passed there in the past cases
of heavy rains.
The members of the fire depart
ment and police were out early when
the first reports of the overflowing
of the sewers came and were able
to keep the sewer inlets open so that
practically all or the flood water was
taken into the box sewers on Sixth
street and without any damage to
property.
Several autos that were
along the street were extricated
with more or less difficulty and re
moved to a place rjf safety by the
owners and the city firemen.
The display of water was a fea

and was not desired by the commun
itv but that It was not more severe
than it was is the matter of the
greatest congratulations to every
one.

was one of the heaviest rainfalls in
such a short space of' time that has

Accompanying the rain for a few
moments v.-as a very heavy hail

pait of the street decorations that
had been used for the American
Legion convention. With the heavy
rainfall it was fortunate that as lit

The farming community northwest
of this city and in the vicinity of
Cullom is reported to have suffered
very much from the effects of the
storm that broke here last evening
about 7:30 and which left in its wake
a great deal of wreckage in the way
of shattered trees and crops beaten
down by the heavy hail storm.
In a number of cases the hail strip
ped the trees of their leaves and small
limbs were broken off over a wide area
Nof country and the hail also stripped
potatoes and other vegetation of their
leaves and will make a very heavy loss
to the farmers in this line.
The telephone lines were also badly
damaged by the storm and service on
the farm lines this morning was bad
ly interfered with in this section as
the result of poles that were blown
down and wires that were ripped off
by the force of the wind and hail.
There was also a very heavy rain
reported and creeks and watercourses
were filled in a few moments by the
flood water and which will cause some
damage in places where the creeks
overflowed.
The heavy rain also washed" the
farm lands to some extent and which
will make a delay in the farm work
in this section.

Two Kinds of Trouble
(Copyrighted)
A man was standing beside his auto
beside the road. He looked troubled and
disgusted. What was the trouble?
He had a sudden call to drive into
the country to look after some important
business.' But his gas tank was nearly
empty ran out of gas before he could'
accomplish his purpose.
Another man came to the bank. He
was troubled too. He had an important
business deal on hand but his checking
account was too low to handle the deal.
He had a habit of keeping a very
small sum on deposit so he was like the
man with the auto stuck just when op
portunity was waiting for him.
A good bank account and plenty
of gas give you ability to do things.

Cedar Creek
Wins Legion Day
Game Thursday
By Score cf 5 to 3 the Cass Countj
Leaguers Carry Home the Bacon
Home Run by Meisinger.
From Friday's Daily
The baseball game that was fea
tured as a part of the entertainment
of the American Legion convention,
st-.med between Cedar Creek and t?:e
local basrball aggregation resulted
in a victory for the visitors by tb
score of 5 to 3 and in a game that
was played under rather disagreeable
conditions for both teams with a bad
wind and dust storm to contend with
from the outset of the game. '
In the opening inning Rudolph
Meisinger, the Cedar Creek hurlcr
and the first man at bat proceeded
tf take a liking to the skints of
"Swanny" and laid it over the left
garden wall for a home run ar.d
was followed by the second scoring
in the same inning on a bobble and
two hits.
Cedar Creek scored again in the
second frame when with ; runner on
third Klauschie heaved the ball to
third base that was wide and allow
ed the runner to reach home hufcly
with the third tally of the game.
The remainder of the scores of the
visitors was scored in the third
frame of the conflict and resulted
in their taking a lead that the locals
could not overcome.
Plattsmouth scored one in the
second frame with bunched hits that
resulted in the tally being brought
over the bag for their first run of
the game. They later secured their
two additional runs on bunched hits
off the delivery of Rudy.
Burkhart, the hurling ace of the
locals was called Into the game in
the third inning and was effective

STEALING FLOWERS STARTS
From Thursday's Dally
It has been reported that vandals
have been operating at the Oak Hill
cemetery in the last few days and
lots there have been despoiled of
plants and flowers that have been
placed there by the lot owners 5n
memory of their loved ones. This is
a condition that merits the severe. -t
punishment as there is no plae more
dear to the residents of the com
munity than the last resting place
of their dead and those who have
tried to beautify the cemetery with
plants and flowers should be assur
ed that their efforts will not be
despoiled by the hands of some. per
sons or person stealing the plants
and flowers. If the parties are caught
they will be given a very severe
punishment and the sexton as well j.s
