While Herman Meisinger was do ing some farm work about the place on last Tuesday evening and was operating a hay rake, which clogged and at he was endeavoring to raise the teeth which gather the day, they having stuck, he pulled hard on them and they giving away suddenly, threw Mr. Meisinger from the rake with the effect that a projecting piece of iron caught him as he fell, inflicting a sever wound some two mcaej in length, and very deep in th .eth near the thigh v.'hich n:id a very severe wound. Mr. Meisinger !-r-!-i"i"i"!-:-: was able to eome to town immediate ly and have the wound dressed by Dr. G. H. Gilmore. The wound will make a very painful and dangerous one for some time and should infec tion occur which is not expected, would complicate matters.

The Murray Red Sox added an other to their string of victories on Sunday afternoon when they checked a victory over the fast Manley team by the score of 5 to 2, in a contest that for some time looked like a no hit contest for Hopkins, Sox hurler. but this was spoiled in the eighth inning when Sherman was success ful in getting one over the infield for the one hit of Manley. The Murray team had their bis inning in the third when extra base 'ilows aided in the scoring of three runs. Louie Svoboda opened the in ning with a double and was follow ed by Hopkins reaching first safe !v. they scoring when John Svoboda. first sacker of the Sox, doubled. Svo boda later scoring on the blow of Stone. A double by Ixuie Svoboda in the sixth tallied Holch Cholchor while in the lucky seventh Newman was scored on the two base hit of Stone. The Manley team took a lease on life in the eighth and for a few mo ments made the outcome of the game ore of doubt but were unable to over come the lead of the Sox. Two were cut when Spidell, catcher of Manley. hit a hard liner to Hopkins which was knocked down but "Spi" was safe at the initial sack and was fol lowed by J. Livingston and Homan. both of whom were passed and then Sherman hit safely to score Spidell ind Livingston, but D. Blair was re tired on an easy grounder to Hopkins and checked the rally of the Manley team. The tabulated score of the game was as follows: Murray AB H PO A K Roddy. 3b 4 0 0 5 0 'oboda.

As they were in the gar age the stranger lit a match while drawing the gasoline and at once an explosion occurred that caused the garage to burst in:o flames and while the stranger and Mr. Todd were aole to escape from -the building, the structure was soon a roaring mass of flames The car belonging to Wil- nam vantine which was stored in the building was also consumed in tne ourned structure.

But there is an instance where it is a blessing. An organ ization that is blind to distinctions of race or creed or color sees only the need for service. Because the public responds to such a call it belongs to the American people. "I believe that the greatest thing th; t any people can have,'' said the head of one of Americas foremost universities, "is some sort of a ve hicle to express the idealism which underlies their lives. I believe," he went on "that this American Red Cross, both nationally and interna tionally, expresses . . . the best we have in the way of ideas." Need for service in war time is ppe'-tacular ; need for immediate help in a great disaster is obvious; but .'hat is not generally understood in some parts of the United States is ihat continuous, ever-present need in a greater war and a bigger dis aster than the sporadic ones which attract so much attention the con flict to improve health, to mitigate suffering and to minimize those epi demic? that are vertibly disasters of isease. Wherever there is a local arm of the American Red Cross the Chap ter a progressive community is par ticipating in this never-ceasing fight because it has realized the need for this day-by-day service. Just a few I figures show how badly education in health principles is wanted: In 1924 j according to the Buruiu of Census ' 17 0.671 people died in the registra tion area from diseases of the heart; 97,403 from pneumonia; 8S.8G3 from kidney diseases; and S9.724 from tuberculosis. The total death rate was 852,315. Many of these were undoubtedly preventable if the vic tims had only known how to safe guard themselves. That proper care for mother and child prevents heavy maternity and infant mortality New Zealand has proved. But the United States is a long way behind that country in this regard. In 1924, according to" the same authoritative figures. 1 15.709 chil dren died before they reached one year and 15.375 mc.thers passed away in childbirth. Greatest cause of death among infants was congenital malformations and diseases of early : infancy that swept away 77.653 j while 27.566 died of diarrhea and J c nteritis. Each" of these problems engages ! the attention of a special Red Cross service. Through public health nurs 'ing. the public is educated for health j so that such diseases as tuberculosis may be eradicated; through home hy ! giene and care of the sick, women i and girls are taught simple rules of hygiene and sanitation when follow ed frustrate those habits that pro duce epidemics and mean bodily care minimizing organic disturb ances; through nutrition the relation pf food to health is taught. An im portant aspect is prenatal care that teaches detary precautions helping to insure health for mother and babe. Does Cass county possess the re cord of the lowest rate in the l nited States with the healthiest mothers and babies? If it doesn't such work as the American Red Cross Chapter carries on is wanted. Blind to race or creed or color distinctions, its sight for service is surely needed. HEAE OF OLE TDIES Crora WednsdRy-E r?ally The local Rotary- club yesterday had a very interesting word picture of Plattsmouth in the seventies and eighties which was given by George B. Mann, veteran printer, who has been a resident of this city since 1871 when he arrived here as a child via the steamboat route with his parents and has since made his home in this community. The story of the old times was most itneresting to all of the club members and brought a view of the city that lew could remember, the stet.mboat landings, the unpaved streets, the business section that in the early seventies was located on Second street near where the Bur lington yards are now located, but whi.-h Mr. Mann gave a description in a vivid manner and recalled the business firms that were here at that early day. names that are now a part of history of this part of the west. The talk was enlivened with many interesting stories of the early days. The meeting was presided over by President R. E. Bailey, who has now completed his summer school teach ing work and can take full charge of the office to which he was inducted In July. The program leader of the meeting WM E. A. Wurl and his program was most appreciated, as Mr. Mann's talk was filled with local history that will long be remembered by all that neard it. 1 P.ECEIVES JAIL SENTENCE Frank Sent vey. a resident of Greenwood, was arraigned in. county court Monday afternoon on the charge of possession of intoxicating liquor, he having been arrested Sat urday afternoon by Deputy Sheriff Bex Young.
