Platters Tie
with Auburn
Final Tally of High School Football
Came Is 6 to 6 on Auburn
Field Yesterday.
From Thursday's rally
The blue and white of the Platts
mouth high school yesterday emerged
from the struggle with the Auburn
high school eleven with a 6 to 6 score
in the battle staged on the Auburn
field.
The game opened with the natters
seemingly having easy sailing with
the Nemaha beys bat ere the final
whistle sounded the two teams found
themselves locked in a deadlock from
which neither team was able to gath
er the force or punch to break the
tie.
In the opening portion cf the game
there was several good xasses made
pood by the Platters from Wescott
to Perry and also to Gansemer that
advanced the ball into the enemy ter
ritory and where the locals carried
the ball over for the coveted first
score of the game. ,.;. the blue and
hite advanced down the field to
striking distance of the Auburn roal.
Robert Hadraba was sent into the
backfield to replace Wurl and carry
ing the ball. Bob came through the
Auburn line for the score. The try
for point failed and left the locals
leading 6 to 0
After the first score the locals
loosened up their playing and the Ne
maha boys were quick to take ad
vantage of the opportunity and be
fore the third quarter was completed
the Auburn team hnd tied up the
score. A number of clever fakes
throuph the center of the Platts
mouth line- gained them ground that
brought them to the vicinity of the
Platters goal and from where they
were able to crash through for the
touchdown. Mason of the Platters
blocked the Auburn kick and saved
the locals from being nicked for the
one point had.
The remainder of the third and
fourth ouarter was cne in which both
teams attempted to gain enough to
annex the game but in the crusical
stages of the game both teams play
ed a very stiff defense and were able
to check any further scoring.
The game was net featured by any
of the thrills cf the Wahoo game
and both teams played a very even
trame as a whole, the Auburn team
showing a grent deal of improvement
since their last battle.

New Paving
Great Improve
ment to City
Where New Paving Has Been Placed
It Adds Much to the Conven
ience of the Residents.
From Saturday s !'a.i!
The completion cf all of the paving
in the 1927 program in this city has
given an addition to the large
amount of pavement in the city and
has added a great deal to the lo
calities where it has been placed and
where it will be a distinct advantage
to the sections of the city that se
cured this improvement.
The hist part of the paving pro
gram carried out was that on South
Hih street and on Rock and which
i.s now btiiig used for travel by the
general public and with the prospect
of winter and bad roads the residents
of that part of the city who have
lau much trouble with the murry
l i'l ic-ads can look forward with
pleasure to the fact that they will
h;. ie a load that they can travel at
all seasons of the year.
The paving on the hilis also saves
a great deal to the city in tne cost
f f rfad maintaining and als.i tlim
iit.iting the necessity after each rain
of having a force cf men out to scrape
lip the mud that, flows down from the
hills onto the paved streets and
which costs the city from $15 to $20
each time to have cleaned off.
Another of the pieces of paving
that was badly needed for several
years was that leading from Main
street to the Holy Rosary church, a
block south on Pearl street and
which in bad weather was almost im
possible to travel for these wishing
to drive to church and for funeral
parties to reach the church. Tins
condition has been remedied with the
new pavement there and which as
sures a comfortable and good road
way. These pieces of paving were initiat
ed on the petition of the residents of
the various districts and now that
the work is completed it ceitainly i.i
one that everyone in the city will
appreciate as a convenience in travel
and helping cut down the espouse of
road maintaining that is a constant
drain and which has to be gone over
r.fter each rain storm as the hill
streets wash very badly and makes
necessary the expenditure of much
money that is really thrown away as
the work has to be done over re
peatedly. HOLD PLEASANT SOCIAL

Local Raking Concern
Frorr Saturday's Irlly
It is fitting that our citizens should
be kept informed ef tL.e improve
ments taking place in our little city.
A visit to the Cream of the West
Bakery a few days ago disclosed the
fact that Mr. Went worth recently
purchased the latest model of dough
mixer, which has just arrived.
This i3 a German invention, but is
manufactured in Switzerland. It is
called the "Artol'ex" dough mixing
and kneading machine, has a maxi
mum dough capacity of 1ST. pounds
and is equipped with a one and one
half h. p. 220 volt ball bearing mo
tor. Ten thousand of these machines
have been manufactured, but they are
just being introduced into this coun
try. So far as we are informed,
there is only one in Illinois, one in
Nebraska and this machine of Mr.
Wentworth's is the fir.u in this part
of the country.
This is a fine looking machine and
a decided improvement over the (.11
stj'le machines in common use. A
little of what is said of it and claim
ed for it follows: The patent "A-to-fex"
mixer assures the most renijfk

Bakers in the old country have
been thoroughly convinced that the
only efficient machine producing a
dough of perfect texture, uniform
throughout while aereating and de
veloping the gluten and creating the
much sought absorption, is one that
has an action which lifts, aereates
and stretches the dough without sub

This machine has arms that lift,

requires 30 minutes to do. and with

thus giving his patrons the, best pos
