Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1918-10-06

General Misich and his Serbs
have crossed the Vardar. In one of
those amazing combinations of tao
tics, marching and mountain-fight-
ing which, in 1915, overwhelmed
Austria in northern Serbia, a hand
full of divisions have now been car
rying all before them in the south.
And everyone in America has just
one wish, that we were with them"
says the committee on public foreign
information service, Washington, D..
c.
We'll, we are, America is repre-
sented in Macedonia, too. 1t has its
brigade, 5000 fighters from Omaha,
Cleveland and Pittsburgh, St. Louis,
Chicago, Seattle and San Diego.
Their names may not precisely be
American names, as we still insist on
using the term. And the 5000 may
not, to tell the truth, be naturalized
Americans. But what is that be-
tween friends? They are there and
fighting, Just now that is the main
thing.
Don't Love Austria.
Legally, most OF them are citi-
zens of Austria, but they aren't cit
liens who love their mother, or step
mother, country. They are "Jugo-
slavs," Croats and Slovenes and Aus
trian Serbs; in America there are
virtually no Serbs from Serbia prop
er. And they began to sail for Eu-
Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1918-10-06

CRUEL AND UNUSUAL.
L. V. Nicholas came in to the
Chamber of Commerce and asked
Bob Marley where meeting was
being held one noon. ITS either
in room B or D." said Bob. "Sure it
isn't W" said Mick"
Mother time Mr.. Ellis was look
ing for some cord to tie up pack
age. wonder what became of that
cord" he says. "The lost chord"
murmured Miss Matthews.
Ladies m Gen'l'm'n.
Isn't the Liberty loan committee
overlooking some good material for
Liberty bond orators? We fear
so after hearing the ballyhoo spiel
ers at the carnival last week.
J'Advise.
As reformed ad. writer, we pro-
test against the Liberty loan ad.
which bromides thus, Buy, Buy,
Buy Till 1t Hurts" You can't buy
Liberty bonds till it hurts" be-
cause every dollar you put into them
is dollar put away for rainy day,
dollar drawing good interest and ,
dollar absolutely safe. We suggest
the word "tiekles" in place Of
hurts"
ANATHEMA.
No deferred classification should
be given the ginks who make a prac-
tice of setting their valises between
the two back doors Of the street car,
thus taking up space where two
straphargers can stand.
DO YOU GET IT?
We were out to dinner at the
home of married couple the other
evening. Just after the coffee had
been poured, husband remarked,
will you get the sugar out of the
safe, please, dear"
VARIETY.
To the Writers of War Stories
for Sunday Papers: Why not have
your heroes something else than
Irish or negro? Try to get out
something with Italian or Chinese
or plain American heroes for a
change.
BAGATELLE.
They say tunnel under the Eng
lish channel from England to France
would cost $S0,000,000. That is just
small change nowadays. The ex-
pense of the United States for three
days of war is more than that.
Baitohven.
One OF the wonderful things we
never could understand and never
expect to, is how people can read
music and play it, paying due atten-
ton to all the various little doofun-
MES and thingumajigs. Reading
Greek seems much easier to US.
Conservation.
Remember, girls, it isn't the
amount of sugar you eat that makes
you sweet.
Well bet old Hindenburg did
some whistling last week all right
all right ~~-e .,.--.

County Council of Defense, is hav->
ing a supply of these cards printed
for general distribution. Mrs. F. II.
Claridge, wife of the president of
the Banking House of Castetter,
parked her runabout and told of the
work of the women in the Red
Cross knitting brigade of which she
is the leader Mrs. James Platz knit
ted three sweaters a week for
10 weeks and then she had to stop
for while because she broke leg
while returning from a Red Cross
meeting. Mrs. R. Rasmussen of
Drum township, knitted ID pairs OF
socks in brief period of time. Mrs.
l.. A. Williams is head OF the local
Red Cross chapter and Clark
O'Hanlon directs the county work
Political Activities Of Women.
Grace Ballard. lawyer" was the
letter on sign over an Office door.
She is one of the nominees for
county attorney at the fall election.
A visit to the county clerks Office
offered further evidence of the &C
tivities of women. Mary c. Debel,
nee Christensen, is deputy clerk and
has been at the work for five years.
When her. husband went away to
war, she decided to get into politics,
and now she is the democratic nomi-
nee for county clerk and is making
vigorous campaign.
Various communities Of the state
have from time to time made claims
of having the largest families, but
when the returns are all in from
Blair and environs, some Of the con-
tenders for first place will silence
their noise. Asa Dixon had 70 get
out paper and pencil to compute
that he has II children, IS grand
children and seven great-grandchil-
dren. T. M. Carter has nearly as
many descendants as Mr.. Dixon.
Zachariah Brunton has II children
and has lost six. Chris Nielsen. who
shows no signs Of advancing age,
has had p children, but only nine
are living.
T. M. Carter, Founder Of Blair.

August, is the oldest Washington
county resident pioneer of Blair,
where he located in May, 1855. on
land which is now part of the town.
site. He is one of the most interest
ing personages of the county, hav-
ing shared the hardships of the early
settlers, observed the development
of this county during period of
IS years. and is today enjoying the
fruits of his early efforts and we'll
spent life. The town was plated by

Mrs. Jacob Carter, more than 90
years old, is one of the oldest per-
sons in the county today.
Mr.. Carter left Ohio in April,
1855, for the great west, which
Horace Greeley referred to in his
historic admonition. A steamboat
on which he was travelling was
burned on the Ohio river and he
was rescued. From St. Joseph, Mo,
he continued his journey overland
| in a four-hourse coach, which trans
ported II passengers. AT Platte
! City. Mo, he observed the auction
of negro slaves. His memory of
reaching Traders Point (St.
Mary's), across from Bellevue on
the Iowa side of the river, recalls
meeting Peter A. Sarpy and Henry
Fontenelle for the first time. Sarpy
offered to enliven the advent of new
arrivals by treating the house." but

and when 3 years old was taken to
St. Louis for education. His mother
was Mary Jane Barada, daughter
of Michel Barada of the Omaha
tribe of Indians. Antoinne became q
steamboat engineer on western
boats and performed heroic service
on federal gunboats around Vicks-
burg during the civil war. 1t has
been said of Antoine that he did
not know what fear meant and that
he was a superman of physical
strength.
When he was 26 years ~ age An
TONNE travelled to Bellevue to meet
his mother whom he had not seen
since he had been taken from her
at the age of years. History states
that his father was the first white
man to plant a field of corn in Ne
braska, the site being at the old
Cabanne post few miles north of
Florence and near the new cement
bridge across Ponca creek. An
TONNE died at Arkansas City eight
years ago. The elder Cabanne ar
rived in Washington county nearly
100 years ago to represent the
American Fur Trading company.
The memory of Francis Marion
Castetter is closely associated with
Washington county history. He set
tied in DeSoto in 1857 and estab-
lished the Banking House of Cas-
letter, which is now located at Blair
and is representative of the financial
bulwarks of the county. A park in
Blair bears the name of Castetter,
its donor.
Another historic indication that
Washington county was the cradle

p"dry." He crossed the river from
Council Bluffs to Omaha on May
ID, 1855, finding only a few crude
shacks and tents on this side.
Warning Goes Unheeded.
Mr.. Carter proceeded to Blair,
where he built cabin on land not
yet surveyed by the government.
The Cunning City Claim club served
notice on him that unless he moved
on within Is days he would be given
bath in Fish Creek and sent on
his way across the river. He did
not heed the warning. He resided
for a few years in DeSoto, near
Blair. and the leading town of the
county at that time. He organized
the first Sunday school class in
Washington county at DeSoto.
This class met at the home of Z.
Jackson, editor and printer. In the
spring of 1856 he organized the
first republican party in his county.
He witnessed the thrilling claim
club fight at Fort Calhoun in 1855,
when Major Goss was killed
and Thompson and Purple were
wounded.
Mr.. Carter recalled the hardships
of the winter of 1867 when cattle
and horses persisted in the billiards
and deep snow, and when many Of
the settlers feared they would not
survive the rigors of that terrible
season. Flour cost $40 to SIS per
sack and potatoes were S. per
bushel.
One of the Unique Characters.
To keep history straight, Mrs.
Carter related a few facts about the
life Of Capt. Ben Contal, one Of the
unique characters of the wild and
woolly west" The captain operated
a rum shop during the earlier days
of his life, but he died shouting
free Methodist" due to the benign
influence of his second wife, Mrs.
Carter stated. Contal was buried
in the Blair cemetery in 1908. He
was brought to Fort Atkinson,
(Fort Calhoun) by his parents near
ly 100 years ago.
Asa Dixon, another Blair man
who helped to blaze the trails, is
known as "the youngest old man
of Washington county" He was II
years old last May, according to the
usual method of reckoning time, but
those figures might be reversed to
indicate the age of his youthful
spirit. He is the dean Of four gen.
erations of S. living descendants.
Last spring while he was in Los
Angeles he walked into a recruit
ing office and inquired:
rs there any chance here to help
