Col. Phil Hall
Urged for State
Legion Com'nd'r
Prominent Cass County World War
Veteran Suggested by Local Le
gion Men for State Head
The selection of the state com
mander of the American Lesion by
the Nebraska department at the con
vention this year at Hastings, has
brought to the forefront in the
Plattsmouth Legion circles the name
of one of the outstanding veterans
of the state and one of the leaders
in business life of the state as well,
in the person of Co. Phil L. Hall, of
Greenwood, and who is well known
to practically every service man in
Cass county.
Col. Hall is president of the Green
wood State bank and his work in this
business has not stopped his untir
ing efforts for the American Legion
and the service men of his own com
munity and his county and state and
one of the most cherished honors
that Col. Hall has is the fact that
he ix a "buddie" of the boys and
served in the world war.
Col. Hall has the advantage of
a magnetic and genial personality
as well as a distinguished war record
and his enthusiasm is unbounded for
the cause of the men with whom
he served, the call of the service
man or the Legion always finds the
able Greenwood gentleman ready to
lay aside his business activities to
give this his attention and as a state
commander no more qualified man
could be found or one who possessed
to a greater extent the esteem and
confidence of the members of the
Legion, or one who would give more
wholeheartedly of his service in
looking after the cause cf the Ameri
can Legion.
Our fellow citizen is a young man
and has the -energy and enthusiasm
of the present time to make a suc
cess of his work in the ranks of the
Legion and would carry into the
office of commander this same en
thusiasm. Col. Hall waa adjutant of the na
tional guard of the state of Nebras-"
ka under Governor Morehead and
Governor Neville until at the en
trance of the United States into the
world war in April 1917 when he
resigned his office to organize and
muster into service the Sixth Ne
braska infantry and in whose ranks
a large number of Cass county men
served. It was at the head of this
regiment that Col. Hall was sent to
the training camp at Deming, New
Mexico, and while there at Camp
Dody. was transferred under the
world war reorganization plans, to
the command of the 127th field ar
tillery, as the Sixth Nebraska was
divided into several different units.
As the commander of the 127th
field artillery (formed from the form
er Fourth Nebraska), Col. Hall made
a very fine record and was sent with
his regiment to Fort Sill, Oklahoma,
where his organipation attained a
high state of efficiency as it was sent
overseas.
After the close of the war Col.
Hall returned to the pursuits of
peace and followed the banking
business of which his loved and hon
ored father. Dr. P. L. Hall, had been
one of the outstanding figures in J
Lincoln for many years, and Col.
Hall embarked in the banking busi
ness at Greenwood where he has been
very successful. That Col. Hall is
one of the outstanding members of
his business is indicated by the fact
that he was selected as president of
the Nebraska State Bankers Asso
ciation at their convention last year
and has given a splendid adminis
tration of the office.
The Nebraska American Legion
could search far and not find a more
efficient or qualified man for the
leadership of the great organization
of the service men of the state.
LOUISVILLE BRIDGE CLOSED
From Friday's Dally
The wagon and auto bridge over
the Platte river at Louisville has
been closed to travel due to the
fact that one of the piers at the
south end of the bridge has sunk
several inches and which makes nec
essary the driving of piling to make
the structure able to withstand the
heavy traffic and particularly that
of trucks. The board of county com
missioners were at the bridge yes
terday and have ordered the repair
work made on the structure which
is a wooden bridge. The work will
require several days and during
which time the structure will be
closed to the use of the traveling
public.

SHOWING IMPROVEMENT
Ennaett Rice, injured in an auto
accident southeast of this city on
Sunday, June 30th, is doing very
nicely at the University hospital at
Omaha to which place he was taken
last week. Mr. Rice suffered the
fracture of several ribs in the ac
cident and which it was feared
might have caused a dangerous in
ternal injury but the examination
and treatment at the hospital has
failed to disclose any very serious
condition aside from the injured ribs
and the patient seems well on the
highway to recovery. Mrs. Rice, who
has been with her husband at the
hosiptul returned home last evening

with every prospect of soon being

Gravel and Sand
Pits are Very
Busy Places
Force of Workmen Enlarged and De
mand for Material Keeps Plants
Working at Top Speed
The summer program of road work
over the middle west where great
amounts of gravel and sand are need
ed, has caused the sand and gravel
pits of the Lyman-Richey Co., near
this city to be operated at full capac
ity for the past few weeks in order
to secure the largest output possi
ble. The pits are now employing a very
large force of men and may possibly
be forced to employ a night force
to keep the plants operating on a
twenty-four hour schedule in order
to keep up with the demand that
is being made for the gravel and
sand.
The states of Iowa and Nebraska
with their enlarged road programs
have created a strong demand for
both the gravel and sand and which
is being shipped out as rapidly as
possible to the destinations in the
several 6tates where there are many
now roads being surfaced and this
has brought a great deal of employ-J
ment to men in tnu locality ana
which will probably cover the en
tire summer months or as long as
the plants can be operated and the
roadwork be carried on.
This sand and gravel company
have added a great deal, to the im
provement of the highway leading
to their plants from highway 75
as they furnished the gravel to have
the road placed In shape for the work
men to get to and from their work
and giving that section a fine sur
faced highway for a distance of sev
eral miles and which they otherwise
would not been able to secure.

Heavy Rainfall
Occurs in This
City and County
Rain Early This Morning of 1.28 Inch
Causes Overflowif South Sew
ers But No'Damage
From Thursday's Dally
The threatening clouds that hov
ered in the south and west all yes
terday afternoon and last evening
broke early this morning when a
rain and windstorm from the south
west swept down on this city and
the outlying districts.
The rain was 1.23 inch and was
accompanied by considerable wind
that drove the rain and made the
storm seem even more threatening
than it was.
The rain was largely in the south
west and as the rsnlt of the down
pour in the territory tributary to
the city and drained down the creeks
leading to Chicago avenue soon had
the sewer there blocked and was
overflowing into the paved street and
on down into the business section
where the overflow was nicely cared
for by the box sewers on South Sixth
street and without any damage.
The overflow brought in its wake
a great deal of mud. branches and
debris that was scattered from the
junction of the avenue with the
Louisville road down into the busi
ness section and which is giving
Street Commissioner M. B. Allen and
his force a real problem in getting
cleared up.
The rain came at a very bad time
for the farmers who are busily en
gaged in trying to get their corn
crop laid by and at the same time
get the grain cut and ready for the
harvest which is now starting in this
part of the state and which finds
many of the farmers in hard straits
to get the farm work handled as the
backward corn condition has brought
the necessity of doing this work into
the harvest season.

Local Auto Man
Gives Rules on
Safe Driving
George K. Petring Tells of How
Driving Can Be Made Safer
and More Pleasant.
From Thursdays Danv
As a contribution towards greater
safety and more pleasant driving
conditions on the highways of the
country this summre, the Ford Motor
company has listed twelve rules as
suggestions to motorists and has dis
tributed them to dealers over the
country.
Announcement of the suggestions
was made today by George K. Pet
ring, Ford dealer in this city, who
will display the list prominently in
his place of business.
"These rules," said Mr. Petring,
"are merely common sense as applied
to automobile driving. Every exper
ienced motorist knows all of them.
It is our hope, however, that by
stating them concisely and posting
them where they will come to the
attention of a great many motorists,
we can so emphasize them as to
make a real contribution towards
greater highway safety."
The ewelve rules aie:
1 Courtesy comes first. Consid
er the rights and privileges of others.
2 Keep ycur mind on your driv
ing, and anticipate sudden emerg
encies.
3 Learn to "feel" of having your
car under control.
4 Obey all traffic and parking
regulations.
5 Keep to the right, and comply
with road markings and signs.
6 Signal for stops and turns
Watch the car ahead.
7 Slow down at crossings, schools,
dangerous places.
8 Never pass cars on hills,
curves, crossings.
9 Adapt your driving to road con
ditions rain, ice, sofe spots and
ruts.
10 It doesn't pay to take the
"right of way" too seriously.
11 When you drive, remember
the times when you're a pedestrian.
12 Know the law. It was passed
for your protection.
"It is estimated that 20,000,000
persons will tour on American high
ways this summer," Mr. Petring
continued. Recognition of the rights
of others, will be essential. Many
unpleasantries and accidents will be
avoided if motorists, at times of close
situations, will recall these rules and
act accordingly. They are the re
commendations of the Ford Motor
company offered to give greater peace
of mind to those who travel by auto
mobile." FUNERAL OF GEORGE VERHTJLE
From Friday's Dally
Yesterday afternoon the funeral
services of George Verhule, an old
time resident of the city occurred at
the family home in South Park. The
services were conducted by the pas
tor of the Holiness church at Tabor
and the body was laid to the last
long rest in the Oak Hill cemetery
west of this city.
The deceased has been a resident
of the city for a great many yeirs,
he being for some years engaged as
a boilermaker for the Burlington
in the local shops and of late years
has followed his trade at different
jobs over the city. Mr. Verhule was
past seventy years of age and was
a native of Holland, altho for a num
ber of years before coming to this
country he resided in the vicinity
of Brest, France, until he came to
the United States where he has since
resided and the greater part of this
time in Plattsmouth.
For the past several months Mr.
Verhule has been very ill at his
home and his condition was such
as to give but little hope of his re
covery and it was with great sorrow
that the family saw him gradually
fail until on Wednesday afternoon
he heard the last summons and sank
into the last rest that brought peace
and comfort after the long illness.
Mr. Verhule is survived by the
wife and four sons and two daugh
ters. RE-ARRANGE STORE
The interior of the C. E. Wescott's
Sons store at Fifth and Main street
has been re-arranged and the show
cases and counters placed so that it
gives a great deal more room in the
front portion of the store and makes
all of the stock visible to the pur
chaser and it is thought will be much
more pleasing to the purchasing pub
lic who can have a better opportun
ity of viewing the stock and finding
just what they may need.
DOING VERY NICELY
The friends here of Mrs. Joseph
Wooster will be pleased to know
that she is doing very nicely at the
Wise Memorial hospital where she
was operated on Monday for a goitre
from which she has suffered for some
years past. The patient came
through the operation in nice shape
and seems to be doing just as well
as could possibly be expected.
MAKES NICE IMPROVEMENT
The interior of the Leonard build
ing occupied by the office of the lowa
Nebraska Light & Power Co., have
just been newly redecorated and is
a real object of beauty as well as
being spic and span in every way.
The wainscoating has been' ar
ranged in the new Tiffiny finish that
makes a very unique coloring in
tints of green in the futurist designs
while the upper portion of the wall
as well as the steel ceiling are fin
ished in tints of old ivory that makes
it a great deal lighter in the room
and much more convenient to the
force of clerks in the business office
of Manager F. I. Rea.
The decorating has been looked
after by F. R. Gobelman and his
force of workmen, and is a nifty
job in every way and one that pleases
very much the office force and Man
ager Rea.
Paving Contracts
for King of Trails
Let at Lincoln
American Paving Corp. Gets Contract
to Union From This City,
Roberts Co. to Omaha
From Friday' tatly
The state of Nebraska held con
tract lettings to the amount of $1,-
82,342 yesterday at Lincoln, one of
the largest that has ever been held
in the state and which included the
paving project from the Douglas
county line to Union, over Highway
No. 75, or the King of Trails high
way.
The largest single contract was
that for $330,184, and which covers
the thirteen and six-tenths miles
from Plattsmouth to Union and
which will do away with some very
bad stretches of highway and the
maintenance of which has been most
costly to the state. This contract
was awarded to the American Paving
Corporation of Omaha, the lowest
bidder.
On the various stretches of high
way from Omaha to this city the
Roberta Construction Co.. was given
the contract for the work. One pro
ject was for 2.S miles of paving at
$96,399; one for 2.3 miles at $51,
968.92 and 1.7 miles at $40,916.30.
The work on the various jobs will
be started as soon as the contract
is approved. State Engineer Cochran
announced, and will be pushed to
completion as rapidly as possible in
order that the highway can be
placed in service by the fall season.
The state engineer stated that the
bids were considerably lower than
those on the road contracts made in
June and estimated the paving prices
as five cents less per square yard
than at the previous letting.
Additional contracts on gravel re
surfacing of various projects will be
made at the session with the state
engineer today at Lincoln.
The letting of the paving contract
means that a permanent hard sur
faced highway will soon be construct
ed through this section in the next
few months and during the time of
the construction, the travel will be
sent over the detour west of this
city.
The state is anxious to start the
graveling of the detour road by Mon
day or the first part of the week but
whether this is possible or not is a
question, as there is still consider
able work to be done by the county
in getting the detour road in shape
for the gravel, but as sopn as the
roads are in the proper condition,
the gravel will be placed on them.

GIVES FLOOD DATE
The interesting discussion among
the residents over the city a to the
date of a visitation of high water
or flood in this community and in
which the horses of James W. Sage
were drowned in the basement of
the stable then in use on the north
side of Pearl street, has brought out
many interesting facts. One old
timer has tried to fix the date as
the summer that he started to work
while another has tried to locate
the high water in connection with
his attack of rheumatism.
The most conclusive statement as
to the flood seems to be that made
by Henry Trout, who was for many
years closely associated with Mr.
Sage and had practical charge of the
livery stable for many year3. From
his own recollection as well as the
books of the livery stable which were
not damaged in the flood, Mr. Trout
has been able to fix the date as July
7, 1S99, a year later than the date
suggested by John M. Leyda, which
was in 1898 while it is considerable
earlier than that which others gave
as that of 1907 and which fixes it
self probably more definitely on the
minds of the older residents as the
high water of 1907 was the worst
storm or rather two that has ever
visited the city.
Mayor and Mrs. John P. Sattler,
who accompanied their guests from
, Illinois put in the state on a short
visit, returned home last evening and
the party will enjoy Sunday here
,at the Sattler home.
