Improvements
important
There are two general classes of
motor car improvements. Those
made primarily for their effect on
the public and those made pri
marily for their effect upon the car.
You will perceive at once that Dodge
Brothers new five-bearing crank
shaft, two-unit starting and lighting
system, air cleaner and other recent
improvements, are the sort that
represent genuine value.
They are sound and substantial bet
terments, producing definite and
marked results, and as such they
are typical of Dodge Brothers
methods and product.

sociation met at the Hotel Perkins in
this city for tne purpose of enjoying
a nne dinner arranged by the Hotel
management as well as the election
of officers and the other business

bers of the party partook of the fine
menu that had been arranged for
them.
Miss Vestetta Robertson was seen
in a group of dances that were very
gracefully and cleverly presented
and reflected the greatest credit on

of the banquet party with a piano
duet that was very artistically pre

the leading musicians of the city.

on the co-operation of the regular
army with the reserve forces that in
wartime will form one of the units
of the national defense.
Captain V. E. Tyler of Nebraska
City was also heard in a short and
very interesting address that pleased
all of the members of the banquet
party.

martial was held and with the usual
"justice" being meeted out on the

fore the military court.

Local Post of American legion Will
Remember Little Ones With
Candy.
From Thursday's Dally
The very pleasant feature of the
Christmas time last year when the
.Nebraska Gas & Electric Co., ar-(
ranged for the lighting of the large
cedar tree in front of the Cass coun-,
ty court house and the American
Legion secured and distributed sacks
of candy to the children of the com-1
munity," will be repeated again this
season. j
The Legion at their meeting last'
evening at the office of the chamber i
of commerce voted to carry out the!
candy distribution for the children
and which will be directly in the
hands of Santa Claus as the Legion
has arranged this matter with Santa
who is also a veteran and he will be
here with bells on when the dis
tribution will take place of the candy
on Friday evening, December 24th
at the Christmas tree.
The Nebraska Gas & Electric com
pany who have a real community
spirit will be in on the Christmas
festival with the Legion in the ar
ranging of the tree on the court
house lawn and these two organiza
tions will do their stuff for the bene
fit of the youngsters and their elders
who may be present at the big
Christmas tree.
The Legion will raise their funds
for the treat from their own mem
bershin by donations and with the
splendid response that the members
gave last year there is no doubt that
the post will realize a fine sum to
apnly to the work.
The committee on arrangements
for the Christmas festival as an
nounced by Commander Henry G
Soennichsen will consist of Judge
A. II. Duxbury, Frank Smith, Thomas
Walling and Garold Holcomb and
they will at once start the planning
of the event that will take place
three weeks from Friday.
Last year the Legion gave away
some S00 sacks of the candy through
their old friend Santa and the at
tendance this year is expected to be
much larger if the weather condi
tions will permit as the last Christ
mas eve was one that was bitter and
cold.
Every Legion member who can find
it possible should get in touch with
the committee and give their con
tribution, anything from 50c up be
ing accepted for this purpose.

RETURNS DIRECTED VERDICT
Prom Saturday's Dally
The jury in the case of the Platts
mouth State bank vs. Willie Meier-
dierk, returned a directed verdict
yesterday afternoon in which they
found for the plaintiff and failed to
assess any damages; in the case.
This was an action. where the bank
held a chattel mortgage, foreclosed
and sold the property covered by the
mortgage, the price not covering the
amount of the mortgage. The Jury in
failing to set any amount as the dam
ages to the bank for not having the
i property turned over to it on their
i first demand, leaves the amount se
' cured by the bank as that realized at
the sale. After the trial of the case
the court directed the jury to find
for the plaintiff, they to pass on the
question of damage.

Find Farm Hand
Dead in a Barn
Near Louisville
Emil Foreman, Who Had Been Work
ing at Fred Stohlman Farm
Found Dead Today.
From Saturday's Iaily
This morning when members of
the Fred Stohlman family residing
on a farm near Louisville, came to
the barn to look after the morning
work, they were startled to discover
in one of the stalls of the barn the
lifeless body of Emil Foreman, a
hired man, who had been making
his home at the Stohlman farm for
a short time.
The family were shocked very
much at the discovery as it was sup
posed that the hired man had gone
to Mauley or Louisville as he had
not returned to the house during the
night and his death was wholly un
expected as he had been apparently
in good health altho the death was
undoubtedly caused by heart failure.
The dead man had been living in
the vicinity of South Bend and Louis
ville for the past several years altho
he has no relatives in this country
as far as known, as a brother and I
sister are living in Germany. He was
63 years of age.
The deceased man had been help
ing in the building of a shed at the
Stohlman home yesterday and about
4 o'clock yesterday afternoon he an
nounced his intention of going tr.
Manley and had started off to that
place. Evening came and night and
the hired man had not appeared and
it was thought that he had gone on
to Louisville and was waiting for the
chance to get a ride homo. Nothing
more was thought of the matter un
til this morning when the lifeler-r
bodv of the man was found in the
barn, he having evidently set down
and fell over on his face in a dy
ing condition.
The family at once notified County
Attorney W. G. Kieok who with
Sheriff Stewart drove to the Stohl
man farm where the body was found,
to look over the situation and de
termine whether an inquest was nec
essary or not. The cause of the death
was so apparent that there was no
reason to suppose that the death had
been other than natural.
