From Thursday's Dally
Last evening the Does of this city
gave a very pleasant dance at the
Eagles hall that was quite largely at

ialize and the committee was not
notified of tht fact until the dance
was to start and the orchestra that
was sent from Omaha arrived. The

Town A Live Post.
From Friday's Daily
With perfect weather.
Shubert, in
i the "l?art of the rprle country." was
the mecca yesterday of several hun
tired American Legion members of
the First congressional district, in
cluding forty representatives of the
Plattsmouth post.
The large and enthusiastic delega
tion from here comprised the drum
and bugle corps and individual mern
i ers of the post, including Mrs. Kath
ryn Lugsch. one of the few lady
Legionnaires of the district.
The cars began leaving as early as
7 o'clock in the morning and contin
ued up until noon, all getting there
in time for the parade at 3:30 in the
afternoon.
Although not as long as the parade
here last year, the formation that
passed the reviewing stand was very
creditable to a town of Shubert'?
size. The Plattsmouth gar.g had a
place near the front of the marching
columns and furnished music thrii
out the line of march comprising a
dozen blocks, alternating with drum
beats, drum and bugle music and the
ringing cf Bruce P.osencran.V new
"Nebraska" 6ong. and got a hand all
along the line of march.
The other posts of the district were
represented with various sized dele
gations, none of them larger than
the combined Plattsmouth l unch, but
inrsmuch as drum corps were com
peting for a separate prize, only the
accompanying members were counted
in the awarding of $10 to the post
having the largest number of mem
bers in line of march, this prize go
ing to Pawnee City.
The Elmwood p"st drum and bugle
corps was present and made a good
showing, but the judges were unani
mous in awarding the $25 prize to
the Plattsmouth post corps.
T'cilov in th? rsc a syi' ited
hall game was engaged in between
the Shubert and Falls City teams,
the Shubert boys smacking the old
apple enough to come out at the long
end of the score.
The much touted cider barrel was
brought in from eight months' cold
storage at Falls City and tin cups
were hung around the barrel in great
abundance. The barrel had a hard
run made on it by thirsty Legion
naires, but lasted until well along in
the evening.
A program of boxing and wrest
ling was pulled off at about 5:30 and
was followed by the mess call which
called the several hundred Legion
naires to the basement of the Chris
tian church to partake of a splendid
feed provided by the Shubert ladies.
Potato salad, meat loaf, baked beans,
hot rolls, pie and coffee comprised the
menu, and each guest was presented
with a large, luscious apple to round
out the meal. An orchestra provided
music during the more than an hour
required to serve the assemblage, ex
cept for a break when Eruce's new
song was introduced, the composer
playing the accompaniment and the
Plattsmouth quartet leading the sing
ing. It was received with great ap
plause and several encores were neces
sary to appease the demands of the
eating crowd.
After the supper hour came the
district business session at the Legion
club rooms in the municipal building.
All available seats were taken and
many forced to stand. Department
Commander Frazier, Adjutant Conk
lin. National Executive Committee
man Reynolds. France Travel Officer
Johnson and District Committeemen
Peterson and Ball were among those
present. Peterson presiding over the
meeting and the rest giving short
speeches.
The main address of the evening
was by National Vice Commander
John Curtis, of Lincoln, who is veil
known here, having spoke at a re
cent Happy Hundred banquet and a
Legion banquet seme two years ago.
John lived up to his reputation of a
rapid-fire speaker and received great
applause at the close of his all too
brief speech, filled with good ideas
and suggestions of service on the part
of the American Legion.
In the awarding of prizes, Platts
mouth post was given $25 in cash for
the best drum corps; Pawnee City
$10 for largest delegation in line of
'march; Teftimeh $15 for best float
from towns under 1,500 population;
