Tinky of Council -r.i.o-- J xillu-, i lie uruior 01 xne nay Here at Services. From Tuesday's Dally Yesterday afternoon while the city was suspending all business activity, a very impressive tribute to the hon ored dead of the nation was paid at the Parmele theatre where the W. R. C. had arranged the program ot ; the day in honor of the departed ones of the nation. There was a very pleasing number of the old veterans out at the serv ices at the theatre, seven of the men ! who had worn the blue occupying 1 seats on the platform and giving a very inspiring touch to the service that was honoring their services as well as those of their departed com- rades and the veterans of other wars. The meeting was called to order by Col. M. A. Bates, commander of the local post of the Grand Army of the Republic and who introduced Joseph A. Capwell of the American Legion who was to preside over the meeting. The first of the program was the salute to the flag given by the Boy Scouts and was one of impressivness and a real lesson in patriotic feel- ing to the members of the large audience. The invocation was asked by the Rev. O. G. Wichmann.

General Tinley paid a most elo quent tribute to the civil war vet erans and expressed gratification that a large number of the children were present to carry with them the mem ory of the day when there were still civil war veterans present to take part in the service The theme of th the address of Gen eral Tinley was that of "Citizenship and Service" and in which the speaker pointed out that the world owes nothing to the individual that was not given by hard and faithful service. The tasks that the veterans of the civil war had accomplished in their struggles to save the union had placed a high standard on citi zenship that had been an inspira tion to the service given by the men of the Spanish-American war and the World war. these men being inspir ed by the deeds of valor and the de fence of the nation by the civil war veterans as they in turn had been inspired by the men of the Revolu- tionary war. The speaker held a very high standard for the American citi- zenship of the present and the fu- ture, citizenship full of service whether in the field of battle or in the workshop or office. He also paid a fine tribute to the American womanhood for their part in the making of the nationand its preserva- tion through all of the years. The speaker also urged the need of ade- ouate national defense and the training of the youth so that they might be physically fit and able to serve their country in time of war as readily as they had served in peace time. The schools of the na- tion should be made the very best, see that the children of the nation are fed, good housing conditions for From Monday's Daily Late Saturday afternoon a new enndidnte nnneared on the political resident of this citv and wto is filing Water are already in me race ior me nomination on the republican ticket. rT.TVrr.TT"RV T.ntTR'R FTflT From Tuesday's Daily Those who visited Oak Hill cem-'snd At-,etery vesterday were delighted with the appearance of the beautiful cityj of the silent and the care and effort ' that had been given this year in cleaning up of the cemetery after the' winter season and putting it in first class shape was reflected in the gen- well as the streets, alleys and bridges committee that had had a part in jIrs R p "Westover, while the con the improvement of the road.

A tour was had over the city, the visitors passing over many miles of fine paved streets and viewing the 'live and well arranged business sec- tion of the town as well as the many beautiful homes that have given Red Oak a great reputation among the cities of the western part of Iowa. The party was also taken thru the plant of the Murphy Calendar com pany, one of the finest of its kind in the world and the Plattsmouth folks watched with much interest the rapid process of turning out color work on the large calendar presses, as well as the hand tinting, pneumatic painting and other phases of the work. A number of the Plattsmouth dele gation enjoyed a trip out to the Field club and its famous golf course, just rast of tne (ity where Roy Knorr, a i rl FricV-e and George Petrinir shot aroumi a fcw times with their Iowa friends. The chief feature of the trip was the luncheon arranged by the Red Oak Chamber of Commerce at the of the Hotel Johnston. in honor piittcrr-onth viitnr5 find which was ja real treat to the Xebraskans in the lway of the fine menu arranged and Jthe equally pleasant opportunity that was had of meeting a large number of the leading business men of the community. The bridge question was thorough ly discussed by both the Plattsmouth and Red Oak parties and the general sentiment was that the central and southern part of Iowa had been slighted long enough in the way of having the Missouri river separating them without the proper crossing fa- 'starting of the bridge program and which should include a bridge over the river at Plattsmouth, the logical crossing for the best interests of the great territory both to the east and the west. At Red Oak it was found that much travel that crossed at Omaha or Nebraska City took other routes to the east or west and did not get the opportunity of visiting the sec tion of Iowa from Glenwood east, as the tourists and travelers are wont to take routes that do not necessitate the long detours necessary in getting to and from Glenwood and Red Oak. and this condition also applies to Lincoln and other cities in Nebraska n,;. i.t -n o-pnerallv ex-; 'pressed bv an of the members of the party and the visit has brought to-' pether a great many of the Iowa and .Nebraska business men who have the', lone object in view of opening this j I section of the two states to the na- jtional auto travel that is becoming.

May I have the money?" The banker asked the man about his supply of feed and then he said: "Sure, go ahead and buy the cattle if you think the price is right. We'll take care of you." When the farmer left, Ed smiled and said: "It's a pleasure to do business with that fellow because he always tells us frankly what we need to know about his affairs.
