relied over and Mr. Smith pinned un
derneath in such manner that his
companion could not extricate him.

juries were not worse. The car was
quite badly damaged.

number turned out to witness the
contest, which was considerable of a
pitchers' battle, with the hits scarce
and far between.
Celebrate Second Golden Jubilee
The town of Elmwood. which made
such a grand success of celebrating
it? fiftieth anniversary last year, ar
ranged to repeat the affair again this
year under the title. Second Golden
Jubilee. An extra day was added,
making three instead of two, and
ample attractions provided to bring
people here each of the three days.
The entertainment included baseball
games, band music, the Plattsmouth
junior drum corps, trick auto races.
dancing, etc., etc. Three bands fur
nished an abundance of music and
there were a lot of concessions on
the streets.
Benches were placed along the
outer edge of the. sidewalks so those
v.ho desired could sit down and rest,
but the crowd was on the go most
of the time.
Included among those present were
many former residents of this com
munity who welcomed the opportun
ity to come back and renew acquaint
ance with their old time friends and
neighbors.
The success of these two years of
celebrating will undoubtedly lead to
a continuation of the custom and
Elmwood can be depended to put
across whatever it undertakes along
this line.
"Kitchen" in the Ditch '
Yes, that is exactly what happen
ed last week when Herbert Addy
aan of Louisville started for Elm

be operates as a concession at fairs
and celebrations over the country.
Just a few miles outside of Louis

a slow rate of speed, the kitchen
veered from the -road and turned
over mixing things up quite badly.
He was able to get things righted
and proceed here, where he set up

found salt where sugar ought to be
in your eats at the celebration, you
will know the reason.
