Yesterday afternoon the baseball fans who journeyed to the local ball park had the opportunity of enjoy ing a bargain day baseball treat in the two games that were staged by the local teams, the Modern Wc-edmen taking on the Louisville second team i while the Athletics were opposed by the Janda Funeral Home team, of Omaha. In the opener, the Woodmen had little trouble in winning from the Louisville aggregation and the score at the close was 12 to 9 for the ! fraters. but the score should have been 12 to 5 but for the wildness of Hriggs. who was used in the last in- ' nings by the Woodmen and who walked in several scores. Clark, who did the hurling for the local team at Ithe outset of the game was able to jhave good control, but with a sore arm. he wished to be relieved. J. Newton and Fleischman were the battery for the Louisville team. The nightcap of the twin bill was 'one in which the Janda Funeral Home team did many things to the locals and won by the score of 13 to 7. Alex Schliscke was the opening pitcher for Plattsmouth, while in the last inning. Joe Krejci did the hurl- the game Hi ing.

Davis Farm Loans Investments Insurance Real Estate Father Alleges Son Mistreated in Iowa Institute State Probe of Glenwccd Home Or dered After Parent's Make Their Charge Glenwood, la., July 2G. A state investigation of conditions at the home for feeble-minded children here will start tomorrow morning following charges made by an Iowa man that his 7-year-old child was mistreated at the institution. Fred Bryant, former commander of the American Legion post at Bur lington, today made the charges in a complaint to Attorney General John Fletcher. Bryant's complaint said that on visiting his son Richard at the in stitution July 9 he found the boy in a weakened physical condition and his limbs covered with bruises. The child was placed in the Glenwood home June 13. ; Bryant removed his son from the home, and he is now in a hospital at Burlington undercoinc treatment, it was sniil. ! Hearing Planned at Once. G. Norman Clark and State Sen ator A. M. McColl, members of the state board of control, and Assistant Attorney Gerald O. Blake will arrive here at midnight from Des Moines to conduct the investigation. Bryant and his wife and a physician from Burlington arc expected to arrive here early Wednesday morning. Dr. George Mogridge. 71, who has been with the institution as assist ant, superintendent and superintend ent 38 years, the past 24 as superin tendent, in a statement to The World-Herald tonight said: "I welcome the investigation. It is the first complaint ever made against the conduct of the institution in the 38 years I have been here. The boy was not mistreated here. Was Inmate Three Weeks. "He was brought here June 13 by his father and his mother's parents. I gathered from their conduct the grandparents and mother were rather opposed to placing him here but the father desired it. The boy was a hopeless mental case, and without any physical control of him self. He had to be cared for like a baby. "The institution, which has 1,650 inmates, was badly overcrowded, but I made room for this child because of his condition and the great charge he must have been on his parents. "It is true that he was bruised. He sometimes fell and bumped into things trying to get about. But he was similarly bruised when he was brought nere. He was given every attention, and there never was a time day or night an attendant was not in sight of him. Much of the time an attendant had to be detailed to care for him individually because of his condition. Strict Watch Kept. "The attendants are very careful, and know they will be dismissed in stantly if there ever is any sign of nn inmate being mistreated. The children are segregated by sexes, with attendants of their own sex in charge of each division. "The only regret I have that the charges were made is that other par ents of children here may fear they are being mistreated, which is not the case. "My explanation of the charges is that the father's family regretted plac ing the child here, and the father made this excuse to take him back home. "On July 9 I met the father and grandparents on their way here in a car as I was going to Omaha. I told them I would be back in a short time, and for them to wait, but when I returned here they had taken the child away." JNAMERICA A man asked us the other day if $20 Bill was a WORK SUIT. That depends on what you mean by a WORK SUIT. . . . You can work in a $20 Bill suit if you want to, and you can work in a $50 suit too, hut $20 Bill is just as much a dress suit a $50 suit. . . . An all-wool, strictiy first class suit fit for any occasion is $20 Bill. Come in and meet him! f FARM BUREAU NOTES 4 Copy for this Department . JU furnished br County A.-;ent A A?

The following suggestions for im proving the quality of market eggs are being sent out this month to all of the University Record Flock co operator of Nebraska: 1 Provide clean nests. The egg shell is porous and absorbs filth and mold which pass thru and flavor or spoil the egg. . 2 Provide one nest for every five hens. Crowded nests result in brok en eggs and dirty nests. 3. Gather eggs at least twice daily. This hot weather and a few setting hens will cause eggs to start develop ing into chickens in a very short 1D4e Store eggs in a clean, cool, moist place free from mustiness and odor of kerosene and onions. One Prices And Mo Monkey Business 5. Avoid handling eggs unneces sarily. This hastens the breaking down and spoiling process. C. Market eggs at least twice a week. Under average farm condition.; eggs are one product that do not im prove with age. Will Practice on Actual Records. Those boys and girls who keep a far mrecord book this tall In school instead of taking the oIC course in bookkeeping will use the figures and facts from an actual farm record kept by a Nebraska farmer. They will make his beginning inventory just as he made it at the start of the year to see how much properly he had with which todobusiness. Then they will make the entries in the record book as the farmer made his en tries, they will make a closing inven tory to see how much property is left in the business, and then summar ize the year's business. All this work will be done under the direction of the teacher who will be furnished with a completed and accurate re cord book. When the semester is over and the course completed, the stu dent should be able to keep the re cords on his own home farm. These farm records are acceptable when the time comes to figure income tax re ports and should be valuable from that standpoint in addition to show ing the farmer where he is making the mcst money.

Plans are being urged by several of the members of the American Legion to hold in the course of the next few weeks a combined Legion and Le gion Auxiliary picnic which can be located at some spot where the mem bers of the two units can enjoy the day in the cool and pleasant shade and if possible "some place beside the singing brook" as Fred Lugsch says, will be selected as the site for the picnic and where the children can enjoy wading without danger, where this feature can be made most appealing. The picnic is still in the making, but if decided on there are a number of events that will be held without a doubt, one being that of Gettysburgh's last address by W. R. Holly while Jim Doyle and Ed Fuller ton have agreed to give several magi cian acts with Joe Capwell, Bob Reed. Otto Lutz and C. L. Pitman appear ing in a quartet number or two. In the event of the picnic being held, the ladies will also arrang-e a part of the program and which will add to the pleasures of the occasion. Those who have psture:; or sites that miqht be used as a picnic ground should get in touch with W. R. Holly or Commander Soennichsen so that the big event can be held before too late in the summer.
