Reception for
Sortor Family
Event Arranged by Social Workers
of M. E. Church Brings Tri
butes to Retiring Pastor
From Thursday's Dally
Last evening: the parlors of the
First Methodist church were filled
to their capacity by not only mem
bers of the church congregation but
the community at large to attest
their feeling of admiration and
friendship for Rer. Harold E. Sor
tor and Mrs. Sortor who are leav
ing Friday for their new home at
Potter. Nebraska, where Rev. Sortor
has been assigned to the charge of
the church at that place.
The farewell was arranged by the
members of the Social Workers of
the local church and it was a very
striking demonstration of the high
esteem in which the Sortor family is
held in the community in which they
have made their home for the past
few years.
The program was presided over
by Judge A. H. Duxbury. long one
of the active workers in the Sunday
school department of the church and
who expressed the esteem and the
feeling of regret that the school felt
in losing their pastor and Mrs. Sor
tor who has been untiring in her
work in the junior department of
the school.
Members of the congregation who
added their tributes to the pastor and
his estimable wife were R. E. Bailey,
superintendent of the city schools,
Jesse P. Perry, treasurer of the
church, W. F. Evers, who paid spec
ial respect to the pastor for his gen
erous services at the Nebraska Ma
sonic Home in the past years, Mrs.
Bert Coleman on behalf of the Social
Workers, Mrs. Val Burkle for the
Ladies Aid society, and Miss Jean
Hayes for the Epworth League.
Interspercing the program were a
number of very clever and much en
joyed musical numbers and musical
selections, Mrs. J. A. Capwell. Mary
Kathryn Wiles, Elizabeth Ann Wiles
and Dorothea Mae DnxbUry, each
presenting some charming dramatic
readings while musical offerings were
given by Misses Jean Hayes nnd
Margaret Shellenbarger in solo of
ferings, while a quartet composed of
Mrs. R. B. Hayes, Mrs. E. G. Shellen
barger, Mrs. W. A. Wells and Mrs.
Harry Schultz, gave two pleasing
selections.
The members of the party also
enjoyed group singing under the di
rection of Mrs. Harry Schulz.
The ladies of the Social Workers
made the presentation of a very
handsome quilt to Mrs. Sortor, the
quilt carrying a personal touch in
the signatures of each of the mem
bers and which will be long a dear
remembrance to the recepient.
Both Rev. Sortor and Mrs. Sortor
responded very feelingly to the ex
pressions of friendship from the
large group present, they having
formed some very warm associations
in the past year.
At the close of the program dainty
refreshments of ices and cakes were
served by the members of the Social
Workers.
LADY CANDIDATE HERE
Mrs. Beatrice Fenton Craig of Lin
coln, who has filed as a candidate
for United States senator by petition,
was in the city Friday for a few
hours. This is the first visit of the
lady candidate for the toga of Sen
ator Norris in this locality and she
enjoyed very much meeting the vot
ers. Mrs. Craig states that she is a re
publican, not of the insurgent type
but one believes in the party from
Btart to finish, withdrawing from the
primary race to aid W. M. Stebbins
in his attempt to defeat Norris, Mrs.
Craig later decided to accept the peti
tion filed for her by the friends and
to make the race as an independent.
SOME CHOICE APPLES
Attorney A. L. Tidd. in addition
to being one of the leaders of the
Cass county bar is an expert on the
raising of fruits and uowers, has
some of the finest apples that can
be found anywhere in this part of the
state. Mr. Tidd has a tree of the De
licious apple which ha3 yielded
abundantly and the result shows that
in the way of real apples Nebraska
can equal any state in the union.
The selection of the trees and the
care and development of the fruit
by Mr. Tidd has produced some
splendid results.

Representatives of the United Gas
Service Co. Visit Here and
at Glenwood, Iowa
This city was visited Wednesday
by D. H. Snow, vice-president, and
W. H. Watkins. manager of the
United Gas ServiceCo., of Bartles
ville. Oklahoma, wnich company re
cently was granted a franchise to es
tablish a service line here and serve
natural ffas.
The officers of the company spent
a short time here as well as at Glen
wood, Iowa, and Syracuse, in which
places they also have franchises for
the sale of the natural gas, they hav
ing the sole franchises in the two
towns while here the Iowa-Nebraska
Light & Power Co., also have a
franchise.
The visitors met a number of the
local people and looked over the
situation stating that they expected
to have a plant here by the time
that the large gas mains reach this
locality from the fields of Oklahoma,
from which point the pipe laying
gangs are working north to their
ultimate goal at Chicago.
The officers also seemed much im
pressed with this point as a district
office for their company in handling
the gas services in the nearby towns
and this also will be considered by
the new company in making their
plans.

SHOWING IMPROVEMENT
Mrs. Ray Ayler, who was injured
very seriously some ten days ago in
an auto accident in Omaha, is re
ported as getting along just as well
as possible under the circumstances
and it is thought now that she will
be able to have the full use of her
lower limbs which for a time seemed
a matter of much doubt due to the
injuries to the knee cap. It will be
some time however, before she is
able to be around.
It will be very pleasant news to
the friends here that her injuries are
not as severe as was first thought.

Dedication of
Athletic Field on
October 17th
Ashland High School Will Ee the
Foe of the Elue and White
Here for Dedication
The new Plattsmouth high school
stadium will be formally dedicated
on the afternoon of Friday, October
17th with ceremonies and a football
game between the Platters and Ash
land high school. The work of com
pleting the grading on the field has
been done and it v.ill be the scene
of battle for the first time Satur
day, October 4th when the North
Omaha Vikings came here for the
initial encounter on the home field.
Plattsmouth will have within a
very few years, one of the finest
athletic plants in the state including
both high school and college. At the
present time, there is not another
high school in eastern Nebraska
which can boast of a field especially
planned and set aside for football
and track.
The new field has been a tremen
dous incentive to a new spirit in the
high school this year. The largest
squad in the history of the school
has reported to Coach Rothert and it
has been a pleasing sight to him to
have three teams running signals on
the field.
The idea of a dedication game came
up the first of the year and with it
the question of a suitable opponent.
Ashland was the first choice because
of their location and the possibility
of a large number of rooters coming
over from that city. Furthermore,
the Ashland-Plattsmouth games have
always been hard fought battles with
good feeling and clean sportsmanship
existing between the two schools.
Sunt. W. A. Squires of Ashland wrote
back that his school would be de
lighted to have the honor of hav
ing a part in the dedication.
The official program will be an
nounced within the near future.
However, it is hoped that President
C. C. Wescott of the Chamber of
Commerce and Judge A. H. Duxbury
of the Civic Improvement Commit
tee may have a prominent place on
it as representing the Chamber of
Commerce. Hon. John Sattler will
represent the city of Plattsmouth,
and Dr. F. L. Cummins, the Board
of Education. This recognizes the
part played in getting the new field
on the part of the Chamber of Com
merce, the City Council and the
Board of Education. The school
feels a deep debt of gratitude to these
organizations. Supt. R. E. Bailey
will recept the field on the part of
the schools.
In addition it is hoped that Mr.
Ettinger, the engineer who planned
the field may be present. The Alumni
will be represented by Carl Schnei
der, former high school athlete and
later a college captain and star at
Hastings College.
The student body of Plattsmouth
high school will be represented by
Paul Iverson, President of the Senior
class and Principal R. F. Patterson.
The new high school band under
the direction of B. E. Woodward will
be heard for the first time and it is
hoped that the Ashland band can be
here also.
The business men of the city plan
to co-operate in making possible a
large crowd by urging their friends
and patrons to attend and by attend
ing themselves if they can do so.
The high school can not say too
much in appreciation of the efforts
of the city officials, the Chamber of
Commerce and Board of Education
and the splendid corps of business
men in Plattsmouth, all of whom
have played a part in this splendid
civic improvement.

CASS COUNTY APPLES
Senator W. B. Banning, of Union,
who operates one of the largest fruit
farms in eastern Nebraska, was here
Wednesday and brought with him
