Autos Have a
Smashup on the
Louisville Road
Intersection of Louisville Eoad and
Detour of Highway 75 Scene of
Another Bad Wreck
The interaction of the Louisville
road and the detour of highway No.
75. three miles west of this city,
added another to the long list of
accidents that have occurred at that
place. Sunday.
The large Willys-Knight sedan
belonging to V. S. Claik of Troy,
Kansas, going south, and the Ford
coupe of John Moore of Council
Bluffs, crashed at the Intersection
and with the result the Ford was
almost demolished and the occupants
of the car cut and bruised. The larger
car was not so badly impaired hut
will require considerable work be
fore it can be operated again.
The occupants of the Ford coupe
had evidently failed to see the stop
sign that warns the travelers, it be
ing located back of a group of mail
boxes and to one not acquainted
with the road the sign would not be
visible. The coupe, so Mr. Clark
stated, came on at a very high rate
of speed and locked the rear fender
of the Ford into the front fender of
the larger car, both being swung
around by the force of the collision
and turned over, the two cars, when
they ceased rolling, being in the
small ditch at the southwest side of
the intersection and both facing
north.
The sound of the crash attracted
the attention of two young men who
were hiking through the country to
the harvest fields and they hastened
to the scene as did the residents of
that section, assisting the occupants
of the cars in getting out.
Mrs. George Addleman of Meadow,
n niece of Mr. Moore, with her three
small children were in the coup: at
the timo of the accident and two of
the children received severe cuts on
the face and head and Mrs. Addle
man suffered a severe slash on the
arm, bleeding profusety and but for
the assistance of one of the young
men making the rescue would have
suffered more serious results from
the loss of blood, but he was able to
make a temporary tourniquet that
checked the flow of blood.
The two children had bad slashes
on the face and head and with the
flow of blood were terrifying in their
aspect and greatly alarmed the par
ties making the rescue and the chil
dren were taken to the Tschirren
home nearby, from where they were
hurried on into this city and taken
to the offices of the Drs. Livingston
where temporary aid was given and
the entire party sent on to the hos
pital at Council Bluffs. Mr. Moore
was not thought injured beyong be
ing shaken up.
At the hospital at Council Bluffs
today it was stated that the in
juries of Mrs. Addleman seems con
fined to the cut on the arm but the
children, Orval 5; George Jr., 4; and
Joseph, 3, have more serious cuts
and may develop skull fractures.
The oldest child, Orval. has also suf
fered a broken shoulder blade.
Mr. and Mrs. Clark were unin
jured Bave being bruised and shaken
up in the overturning of the car.
A call was sent for Sheriff Bert
Reed, who with Deputy Sheriff
Young and County Attorney Kieck,
hurried to the scene and to receive
a report of the affair and to have
photographs made of the scene. The
sheriff ordered the stop signs re
moved and replaced farther east of
the mail boxes where they will be
visible to the traveler.
The damaged cars were brought
on into this city where they will be
repaired.

Boy Scouts En
joying Fine Time
at Camp Wilson
Robert Hall Writes of Observation
of the Eontine of Nemaha
Area Camp.
Camp Wilson at Nebraska City
opened Thursday, June 19th at nine
o'clock. Four boys from Plattsmouth
attended this year, Kenneth Arm
strong, Herbert Minor, Stuart Por
ter, and Robert Hall. We were taken
to camp by Mr. Lynn Minor, and left
here at 8 a. m. Thursday morning.
The first thing we did on our ar
rival was to check In, and be assign
ed to our tents.
Then we assisted in arranging our
tents in the proper order. After we
finished this work every boy was
ready for dinner, as boys are usually
hungry at camp.
The first thing on our daily pro
gram was the raising of the flag. Af
ter this we had about ten minutes of
exercising and our morning dip. As
soon as this was over we had our
breakfast.
At 8 o'clock we had tent inspec
tion, and each time a tent won an
inspection the boys occupying that
ten were given a belt award. At 8:30
.o'clock was the scoutcraft period.
During this time, the boys worked
on and passed their Scout tests. At
11 o'clock we had a swimming period
which lasted about 45 minutes, and
at 12 o'clock we had dinner. We
certainly had some real eats as we
had a negro chef. From 2 o'clock
until 4 was our free period, during
which we could do anything that we
wished to do. Our afternoon swim
ming period was from 4 until 5. After
this we had personal inspection and
retreat. At 6 o'clock was supper.
Canteen opened at seven o'clock
when the boys were allowed to buy
candy bars. After dark we had a
large campfire and council ring,
which ended the day's activities.
Parson Bob, one of the few pioneer
Scouts left, told U3 interesting stories
of his life and the Indians. All of
the Scouts in this part of Nebraska
hold a very high respect for this old
Scout who comes to Camp Wilson
every year to enjoy the camp period
with the boys.
We hope that more Scouts from
here will be able to attend this camp
next year.
The last period of Camp Wilson
this year begins Monday, July 7th.
Any boys wishing to register, see
your scoutmaster of E. H. Wescott
as soon as possible. Camp Wilson is
a fine place to make advancement in
scouting, and pass many tests that
cannot be taken so well at home.

CONTEIBTJTIONS WILL
BE NUMEROUS
Already The Journal has received
numerous complaints and unsigned,
or anonymously signed, articles, In
regard to the carnival closed here
last Saturday evening. Some of them
naming or pointing out some of the
concessions as being conducted con
trary to law, also various other com- J
plaints. Many years ago mis paper
adopted the rule of not publishing
unsigned articles of this nature, and
we cannot deviate from that rule
now. We do not believe that this is
the time for complaints anyway. If
these people were sure of unlawful
games being played their complaints
should have been registered with
the proper officials last week, or if
the officers were aware of this fact
it should have been taken up then
and there, not after the carnival
1
company nave gone into anomer
state.
In the future, the best time to
take this carnival matter up is be
fore they arrive, and possibly a bet
ter remedy still would be to prevent
their arrival, if possible, unless their
reputation in former places where
they have played proves the very
best.
MXEBAY WINS ANOTHEE

argument with the police officer and
the man being escorted to the city

River Navigation
Will Make Demand
for Bluff Lands
Eock in the Nebraska Hills Near
the Missouri Eiver Easy
of Access
The developing of the navigation
of the Missouri river from its mouth
to Omaha and Sioux City which is
promised in the next three years,
is bringing with it a renewed activ
ity in the communities along the
river where ports of entry will be
established and where it will he
possible to ship and receive slow
moving freight at the low water
rates that have contributed so much
to the prosperity of many of the
cities and communities of the nation.
In the past few months there has
been surveys made of the bluffs
along the river where large under
lays of the limestone and other rock
is found, especially in the areas from
this city south to Nebraska City,
where some of the best rock forma
tions can be found and which are
easy of access.
With the opening of the naviga
tion of the river It will be possible
to establish plants for the crushing
and handling of the rock and the
transportation of the" rock easily onto
the barges on the river and hence
out to the large markets of the
world, or the handling of the rock
in its virgin form and transporting
it on barges to the larger manufac
turing centers.
Most of the rock along the Ne
braska bluffs is so situated that the
earth that covers it can be washed
off easily and the rock reached with
out a great extensive quarrying plan
and this has been looked upon very
favorably by the engineers who have
looked over the river situation. The
bluffs are, in this section right on the
river bank which makes it easy to
handle the rock onto barges when
once plying up and down the river.
The rock formation in the Nebras
ka hills has been looked over by the
representatives of both Iowa and Ne
braska universities and found to be
the best in this part of the west.
The Iowa bluffs are not of the same
formation of rock which is adapted
to cement making and road purposes
and this fact prevented the open
ing of large rock quarries along the
river on the Iowa side to manufac
ture for use in highway building.
SOCIAL WOEKEES MEET
From Wednesday Dally
The Social Workers of the Metho
dist church of this city enjoyed a

always enjoyable vocal numbers that
added to the delights of the program.
The little folks presented a very
clever playlet, "We Have No Trains
Today," while the members of the
society gave a very clever one act
play, "Henpeck's Plattsmouth Gos
sip."
At the close of the afternoon dain
ty refreshments were served by the
hostesses. Mrs. Madge Keck, Mrs.
Bert Coleman. Mrs. V. E. Handley,

Highway that
Should be Com
pleted This Year
The Bed Ball Highway First Desig
nated in State and Still
Without Surfacing
When the road program of Ne
braska was first launched the legis
lature of the state designated the
highway from Murray to north of
Elmwood and hence south through
the town of Elmwood to the "O"
street road, as highway No. 1, to
day beyond the grading that was
completed several years ago, the
highway remains without gravel al
tho hundreds of other projects have
been since designated and completed.
As far as the people of Cass coun
ty are concerned this is one of the
most important roads to serve the
greatest number that exists in the
county, its course is through the
center of the county east and west
and with the rapidly expanding
county gravel system can be reached
by every part of the county, lessen
ing the distance to be traveled and
serving hundreds of the residents of
the county.
This highway connects with the
paved highway No. 75 a mile east
of Mhrray. it connects with "O"
street south of Elmwood and the
new highway from Weeping Water
to Louisville also connects with this
road as does the roadway into Mur-
dock and Alvo.
Why action on this much needed
road has been delayed all of these
years is hard to understand, as its
long prior claim to action certainly
would seem to warrant that it be
surfaced as was the intention when
the road was designated as highway
No. 1.
The state should take action on
neeing that this road is surracea
this year and to end the long period
of waiting that the residents along
the road and the people of the en
tire county have been compelled to
put up with. The road is not a
county project, had it been, it would
probably long since been taken care
of by action of the people in that
territory as has other roads over the
county where the residents in con
junction with the commissioners,
secured graveling.
The Red Ball highway has a just
demand from the state for some ac
tion and its case should be heeded
by the department of public works
or the authorities that have the
handling of the highway in hand.
The need of the highway is not that
of any particular town or section.
but one in which every part of Cass
county is interested.
EETUENS FEOM CALIFORNIA

ing many of the old time friends
from this city and vicinity.
OLD RESIDENT POORLY
Prom Wednesday's Dally

been in such good health for the
past year and sometime ago had a
very severe attack while he was
visiting at Nehawka, the attack be
ing very severe and since that time
he has been taking treatment which
it is hoped will give Mr. Harvey
some permanent relief. At the pres
ent time he is showing improvement
and enjoyed very much the chance to
meet the many old time friends while
in the city.

BURGLARS PAY VISIT
From Wednesday's Dally
The neighborhood of high school
hill and Pearl Btreet seems to have
been a very popular place for the
operation of some burglar in the
last few days, as the discovery was
made today of the fact that someone
had broken Into the basement of the
home of Dr. R. P. Westover on high
school hill. The burglar had forced
a small window in the basement but
found a keen disappointment as the
basement has not been used by the
Westover family for some s-ears and
the way leading to the main ponion
of the house is kept securily locked.
There was nothing in the basement
that the burglar desired evidently
and while traces of his present
could be noted and the "jimmed
window, he was not able to carry off
any Fpoils.
It is thought this is the same
party that visited the residence of
Dr. Frank L. Cummins, altho at that
place the burglar secured the car
of Dr. Cummins from the basement
garage at the home.
CAR THIEVES BUSY
From Tuesday's Dally
Dr. Frank L. Cummins, the well
known dentist, is today making his
way afoot, the result of the theft
last night of his Whippet coach,
which was taken from the garage at
his home and the theft not discov
ered until this morning.
The garage of Dr. Cummins is lo
cated in the basement of his resi
dence at Ninth and Pearl street and
the party taking the car was evi
dently acquainted with the surround
ings as the car was taken in sucn
a manner as not to arouse the mem
bers of the family or the neighbors.
Dr. Cummins had left the key in
the car when he came home last
evening, figuring mat tnere was no
necessity of taking the precaution
of taking it out owing to the fact
that the garage was located in the
residence. He came down this morn
ing to get the car out and found
the garage empty. The car was not
covered by insurance

The Mission of
Our Nation is
Heard by Rotary
Judge A. H. Duxbury Gives Fine Ad
dress on "The New Civilization"
Before Local Club
From Wednesday's Daily
The local Rotary club had the
pleasure yesterday at their weekly
luncheon, of a splendid address on
the United States, the addret-. be
ing delivered by Judge A. II. Dux
bury and entitled. "The New Civil
ization." The remarks of the rpoaker took
up many phases of the history of the
nation, presenting many unusual in
cidents and facts of the history of
the country which are little known
save to the close students of the
progress of the United States. The
speaker carried through his remarks
on the 154 years of national life,
the thought that whether this na
tion should join in time the great
nations of the past or should be saved
and preserved for the future genera
tions as the example of a wonderful
civilization, depended largely on the
citizens themselves and their inter
est and devotion to the nation and
its government. Judge Duxbury also
touched on the great cost of war
and praised the efforts of the Inter
national Rotary to make for world
peace.
As the national birthday is to oc
cur in the present week, the musical
program of the day. presented in
miramba solos by Edgar Wescott,
partook of a patriotic nature, em
bracing "The Stars and Stripes For
ever," "America, the Beautiful,"
"The Battle Hymn of the Republic,"
" Columbia the Gem of the Ocean"
and "Taps." The accompaniment
was played by E. H. Wescott and
this feature was very much enjoyed
by every member of the club and was
inspiring in the materia strains of
the selections.
The meeting wras under the leader
ship of Searl S. Davis.
INSTALLS NEW MACHINE
The Powder Puff Beauty Fhoppe,
located on South 6th street and
which is operated by Mrs. A. S.
Ghrist has just installed one of the
latest type machines used in the giv
ing of permanent waves. The ma
chine is a Triplex, electrically oper
ated and which is automatic in its
work. The machine has the added
advantage of the fact that the per
son having their hair treated may
move around if they wish, also the
machine eliminates the heat on the
head and makes for much better
work and the comfort of the patron
of the sboppe. This addition is one
that will be much appreciated by
the patrons of the Powder Puff and
also a great convenience to the oper
ators. The Triplex "A" which has been
installed has many points that makes
it popular with both the customers
and the operators, as it eliminates
the danger of scalp burns, its low
voltage removes the burn danger, it
is light and compact and permits its
being moved about readily, a great
convenience to the operator and with
j it the person receiving the hair dress-
ing can move iiuuui, icirviiuiir, ,
or any other activity and which will
not in the least interfere with the
excellence of the work of the ma
chine. By its use the operator can
do wet, dry or croquiknole winding
with one machine.
