NO. 65 Catholic Speak ers Discuss Princi ples of Faith Meetings Held on 4th Street Saturday and Sunday by Laymen Speak ers Touring Country. Conducting a mission to bring about a better understandings of the Roman Catholic church among those who may not be aware of the teach ings. David Goldstein and Theodore Dorsey, lay speakers, visited this city on Saturday and Sunday. These gentlemen have been mak ing these speaking tours of the coun try for the past two years and have spoken in many sections on the church of their faith and its teach ings. They travel in their own car, painted in the papal colors and which is also provided with a public address system that aids in the presentation of the message to the public. The first meeting here was held on South Fourth street which had been! closed for the half block and seats arranged for the public that theyi might enjoy the interesting address in comfort. The meetings were pre sided over by Mr. Dorsey, who gave a brief outline of their work and the mission that they had been carry ing to the people of the nation. The topic of Mr. Goldstein's open ing address was that of "The Cred entials of the Catholic Church," in which the speaker discussed the his toric part of the Catholic church and its claim of the first and original church. The Catholic church he said, has lasted 1.900 years since its estab lishment by Christ Himself when he said to Simon. "Thou art Peter and upon his rock I shall build "liy ehtrrcb," because Christ haaremain ed with it, in His corporate body as He promised. The church, said Mr. Goldstein, is a "living spiritual society of men or their successors, commissioned to go forth teaching and preaching to all nations by Christ Himself." Christ did not say, "I shall build my churches," asserted Mr. Gold stein, recalling that today there arej about 400 denominations in America alone. The papal succession began with Peter followed with Linus, Cle tus, Clement and down to the 260th pope who holds the chair of St. Peter today, Pius XI. The first Pius took office in the year 140. He quoted from the prophets Isaiah, Daniel and Malachias who foretold ( the coming of Christ, the establish- ment of His church, the sacrifice of I the mass, "For from the rising of the sun even to the going down . . . In every -place there is sacrifice and there is offered in My name a clear oblation . . . said the Lord of hosts." f Sunday Meeting. I The subject of the address of Mr. Goldstein on Sunday evening was that of "The Catholic Church and the Tolling Masses." The speaker as- Eerted that the Catholic church had .always been the champion of the poor a 1 and the oppressed, "wny men snoum he church be persacuted. if it is, as t claims, the divinely appointed body eft bv Christ?" he asked. Christ llimself was nersecuted and His Wstical body is like Him in that, the Speaker said. c effort a in fcphalf Of X: ankind and civilization he listed as eluding Magna Carta, on which the Constitution of the United States is Sased, elimination of Infanticide, re- tognition of the marriage of slaves the early days, establishment of f dav of rest for laborers in the me of Constantine. the teaching of .espect for lawfully constituted au thority, organizing nations into gov rnments. lessening or me Horrors of war, the founding of hospitals, or phanages and rfuges for the distress ed. The church is the one spiritual In stitution standing 100 percent against socialism and communism, as serted Mr. Golstein. It does not dis approve socialism on account of op position to the poor .but because of love for the toil masses. The church teaches that man came from God and should prenare to return to him. So cialism denies God, extols the brother hood of man. The churches teaches there can be no brotherhood of man unless there is a fatherhood of God The church stands for stability in family life, the socialists for freedom for each to follow his own fancies Stressing that interpretation ot the Bible Is left to the church, Mr. Goldstein showed it made for unity of belief and reminded his hearer: that Catholics are urged to read the Bible as the law of God and are giv en special indulgences for daily read lng of it. In closing he said, "The Catholic church is the chhrch of the poor and I pray God that it will also re mai nso." Assisted by Theodore Dor sey, a quiz period was held in which Questions from the audiences were answered. Red Sox Wins from the Colored Globe Trotters Have Little Difficulty in Winning 13 to 4, as Alleged League Winners Are Weak. The baseball customers that gath ered at Athletic park on Sunday aft ernoon had the opportunity of seeing the Red Sox make easy going of their contest with the Globe Trotters of Omaha, reputed to be winner in a colored league, but who were far from league like players in their con test with the locals. The Sox started in the first inning to annex the contest and two tallies were checked up for them, Schliscke opening with a double and scoring on the two sack blow of Newman who later came in on the single of Frank Krejci. In the second inning Schliscke again figured in the scoring, Hop kins was on in a fielders choice that had retired Kriskey, making two down, Schliscke then proceeded to smash out a triple that scored Hop kins and Alex registered on the single of Spidelli ' ' With two down in the fourth Schliscke and Spldell were walked and then Svoboda singled to score Schliscke and then Honos Newman, who was having a perfect day in all departments of the game, smacked a double to clean up the bases. The locals with four runs in the eighth had the game sewed up so tightly that the visitors were unable to seriously threaten in their half of the ninth they were able to tally one. The tabulated score of the game was as follows: Globe Trotters AB R 0 1 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 H 0 1 0 2 2 1 0 0 0 ro 2 2 2 6 0 0 7 3 2 .

Mr. Wallengren had been getting along nicely from the oper ation but a few days ago suffered an attack of pleuresy that has made his condition quite grave. Sunday eve ning he was reported as some better but still feeling the effects of the complications. DRAWS DOWN FINE From Monday's Daily This morning in the county court William Miller, of Cedar Creek, was arraigned o na charge of being in toxicated. The man was brought in by Sheriff Sylvester Sunday and this morning the complaint was filed by County Attorney W. G. Kieck. The defendant entered a plea of guilty and was given a fine of $10 and the costs' of the -action and remanded to the custody of the sheriff until the amount is forthcoming. a Feature of the Korn Karnival Farmer Parade Dedicated to Theme of "Century iTcgiess" with Comic Interludes On Thursday Afternoon A group of farmers from Uiis vicin ity accompanied Charles Barnard to Hamburg, Iowa, Saturday to witness the Fremont county farmer parade, one cf the last cf a series of weekly parades held in the Iowa town thru out the summer. The object of their plan vas to get ideas for use in the "Century of Progress in Travel and Farming Methods" parade to be stag ed here on the afternoon of the sec ond day of our Korn Karnival, Thurs day afternoon, Sept. 21st. This pa rade, like the one at Hamburg, will be an all-farmer parade, planned on an even more elaborate scale than any that have ever been attempted in this part of the country. Mr. Barnard said Saturday night. they enjoyed seeing the Iowa parade. but felt confident they were going to put on a much better one. He declar ed he has receved the most whole hearted support froim everyone he has asked to assst and take part, and said that with a theme to work to, such as is the case here, instead of going at it haphazardly, they can pro duce a beautiful parade that will de pict the changing modes from the days of the Indian and ox carts down to the modern motor cars and aero planes as well as from the hand cra dle down to the latest combines and tractors. It will be a sight well worth seeing, from an educational stand point alone, to say nothing of the many comical features that will be woven into the theme. Bill Wetenkamp is Icing of the fun makers or clowns, of whom there will be from ten to fifteen scattered out in the parade and they have all been working overtime figuring out new and laughable stunts to pull. "It will be a parade that will make the ' Plattsmouth business men go some to equal with their commercial parade on the following day," said Mr. Barnard. "We are not letting the public in or our secret plans, but when you see the farmers coming down the street you will be surprised at some of the stunts the boys have worked out." The number of entries is growing every day and now it looks like al most every farm home within a rad ius of ten to twelve miles to the west and south of Plattsmouth will be rep resented by some sort of entry. "One of our greatest troubles is In getting some of the desired old time equipment," said Mr. Barnard, "but the countryside has been scoured for certain needed articles, and with very good results." Here in town, folks are looking for ward to this parade as one of the outstanding highlights of the Korn Karnival this year, and everyone will be on the curbline when the time ar rives for the parade to move forward. Another pleasing parade will un doubtedly be that of the rural schools on Saturday afternoon. Some splendid prizes are being offered for the best school floats and in addition every school entering will receive a base ball and a bat for their playground. The three other parades to be held during the four day festival include children's parade on Wednesday af ternoon. Kangaroo Kourt parade on Wednesday evening and the commer cial parade participated in by Platts mouth business men on Friday after noon. I REORGANIZE P. T. A. The patrons of the St. John's school met Friday evening at the church building to reorganize the Parent-Teachers association of that school, which was formerly one of the most active bodies of its kind in the city.

It was voted that the meetings of the association be chid on the fourth Friday of each month. The association selected as the com mittee on publicity, Mrs. F. I. Rea, chairman, Mrs. Frank.

Faustina Nowaeck accompanied them to Atch ison where he is a student at M-urer Hill preparatory school. Relief Workers Cease Activities at Fort Crook Fact That Members of Force Not Allowed Any Cash, Causes Stopping of Work. The force of men that have been engaged In working at the U. S. mili tary reservation at Fort Crook, have been taken off pending the reaching of some settlement as to the basis of pay of the men. These men were selected from those being cared for by the relief commission and it was expected that the men would bs cared for by script or orders for a part of the work as well as a small amount from the cash funds of the commission. The sum allowed the men in orders and script has been quite small and as they have been unable to secure needed funds for use for rentla, light or other necessities, it was decided that it be best to have this work elim inated until the men could be given more adequate relief. The men have been hauled to and from the work in aiary trucks jand to carry a lunch and-which has been a privation to many owing to the limited amount of supplies that was possible to secure from the small al lowance allowed for the men, some of whom have large families. A conference on the matter of the use of the workers In the Missouri river projects will be held at Lincoln this week and all of the counties ad joining the river will be represented as the work will be divided among the several counties and on projects that adjoin the different counties the labor will be taken from the resi dents of that particular county.

LaRue Dies as Result of an Auto Accident Former Resident cf Union Fatally In jured Tuesday When Car Skids on Highway Near Benson. David C. LaRue, 62, operator of a bowling alley at Kearney, a former Union resident, was fatally injured Tuesday In an auto accident near Benson. Mr. LaRue had been at Omaha visiting his son, E. W. LaRue, man ager of the Ak-Sar-Ben recreation parlors and had started for Kearney early Tuesday, the accident that caused his death occuring shortly af ter 7 a. m. on highway No. 36, two and a half miles west of Benson. According to the information re ceived at the office of the sheriff of Douglas county, the car which Mr. LaRue was driving had apparently skidded in mud that covered the pave ment. It was hurled into a ravine and crashed into a tree. Mr. LaRue's skull was fractured when he wa3 thrown through the windshield. " The "deceased was one of the well known residents of the southern por tion of Cass county for many years, being born in this state in 1871 and was adopted by Mr. and Mrs. George N.

DOG CAUSES TROUBLE The tale of the accident that be fell James Farnham, leader of the junior drum and bugle corp3 and general civic booster, has Just become public. Jim was in command of the drum corps that appeared at the state fair at Lincoln on the opening day and was preparing to get the boys lined up and ready to do their stuff for the parade when the bad luck occurred. A large dog of the near wolf breed, was standing nearby when Mr. Farnham was getting on with his work and the animal suddenly ae cided to try out the strength of the material of Mr. Farnham's overalls which he was wearing as a uniform. The cloth gave way and the result was that James was minu3 about two-thirds of the overalls and the parade but a matter of a few moment3 away. The fact that it was Sunday and the. grounds far from the busi ness section made it look dark for the parade, but fortunately a Cass county man was on the grounds who possessed an extra pair of overalls, and the day was saved.
