It- 9 n CLu journal VOL. no. zim PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA. MONDAY, JAN. 16. 1928. NO. 99 Lyman-Richey Co- to Open Sand Pits Near Here to that of guilty to the charge of ' having been in a state of intoxica located at Points Just North of TMSition and was given a fine of $10 and City Will Close Pit at Louis ville Employ Several. From ThurdaVc PhJIv The Lyman-Richey Sand company. one of the largest concerns of Its kind . lut wt"sl- JS pi"ig 10 open up in a very short time their new sand pits north of this city, in the vicin ity of Oreapolis. where they have just recently made the purchase of sev eral tracts of land adjoining the river, and where the pits will be lo cated. The company is closing- down their pits, known at Pit No. 6, at Louis ville, where the supply of proper sand along the south side of the Platte that is available has grown less and led to the decision of the company to locate their pits at Platts mouth and also one at Ashland. For many years the chief pit of the com pany was at Louisville, but with the large supply of sand that can be found along the south bank of the Platte north of this city, this will become the principal pit of the com pany. The S'dings are being placed at present and will run from the Bur lington to the scene of the new sand pit, making possible the handling of the machinery and equipment that will be necessary for the operation of the pit, and also provide a means of loading cars later on when the pumps are placed in operation. The sand pit opening up will mean the employment of from fifteen to twenty men in its operation and un doubtedlv several families will be added to the number of residents of this city. J. W. Taylor, who has been foreman of the pit at Louisville, will be in charge of the pit here, as he is a very experienced man at this line of work and an old time employe of the Lyman-Richey company. The sand deposits along the south bonk of the Platte from the mouth of the river west to Cullora-r quite heavy and should be a source of many years' supply to the Lyman-Richey company, as the field there is still un tapped and will permit them to se cure a great amount of sand. The great increase in the sand business in the last ten years has led to the development of many new pits over the state. A CLASSY CAR From Thursday's Dallv .

The general community functions that the Ad club has carried on will find its expressions within the cham ber of commerce while the retail business man's problems and thej credit bureau features will function as departments of the body known ; as the retailers section. s On alternate weeks with the ' chamber of commerce the retail sec- tion will have their luncheons where I over the breaking of bread they can discuss the problems of the business man. At the meeting today C. C. Wes cott, who has been president of the Ad club for the past seven years, dropped that title and assumed the toga of the president of the chamber of commerce, the members of that body having taken Cliff's "I Do Not Choose" lightly and making him the president against his wishes.

Shortly after the club was formed in 191 there was added eieht more firms. Philip Thierolf. Weyrich & Hadraba. Bestor & Swatek. Hatt's market. Popular Variety store. M. D. Brown. G. W. Morgan, and A. II & R. M. Duxbury. Since the organization there has been a number of the other firms of the city associated in the movement and it has been the source of a great deal of business advantage and as well as pleasant association to all of the members. Incidentally it may be mentioned mat president wescott has had as his assistants as secretary of the club in the seven years, Fred P. Busch, R. W. Knorr and Edwin A. Fricke. At the close of the luncheon today Mr. v escott called for short three minute talks from Philip Thierolf, E. A. Wurl. F. P. Busch. R. W. Knorr. E. A. Fricke. H. A. Schneider and S. S. Davis. Mr. Thierolf gave the toast, "Old Lang Syne" and while Mr. Schneider was assigned the subject of "Looking Forward." he also stepped back into the past year for a few stories of the old time Ad club days. The newly formed retail section of the chamber of commerce elected as the chairman. E. A. Wurl, the well known local dry goods and grocery dealer who will have charge of the direction of the affairs of this particular part of the chamber of commerce. During the course of the luncheon a number of songs were given and the members enjoyed a few piano selections by E. H. Wescott. which added to the pleasures of the occa sion.

Blue and White Win Great Battle from Junior Jays Score of 27 to 22 Represents Largest Score Ever Run Again the Prep?ters by Locals. rr'n Saturday 8 Dally The high school gym .packed to to the doors by a tienzied array of basketball fans saw one of the sweet est exhibitions of ba.kethall that has i heen presented within the walls of '. the PhittsnioMth school last night. when the blu and whit" of I'latts j mouth and the blue mid white of Creighton mingled on the court and ! with the final score of 27 to 22 f r jthe Plattsmouth lads. It was a great game, one of the closest until the last few moments or play, that could be witnessed and not have the fans pass out from the stress of the excitement and both teams did their utmost in the bid for ic tory and in which each player shown forth with brilliancy. The opening quarter was largely a matter of both teams feeling out the other in t !i i r plays and the of i first score of the game was a free of: throw bv Wescott and which was followed in a few seconds by a field goal by VanAckien. shooting .-re of the PrepHters. The fight was fas-t and furious in the remainder "f the first (juarter and at the whistle the Junior Jays were h ailing to -r,. The second quarter saw ;-orpe Perry growing hot with l.i b:;s!:rt eye and with the goal of Hadraba and Wescott and the free throws that Wescott annexed, the score at th half was 12 alike. In the second quarter Bernard Galloway, who has been on the hospital 1 i-t for th" first part of the season, made his appear ance on the floor and played a fa-t ami furious game at the left guard position and brok up many t the Prepsters plays. The third quarter saw VanAckr n throw a real scare into the locals with two beautiful shots from the pid lines that were good. Fazrati and Farrell also hanging up a counter apiece but the deadly fiee throw of Wescott, Hatt and Galloway held down the visitors, altho at the clone of the third quarter Creighton b-d by the score of 20 to IS. It was the last quarter of the game that saw the engulfing attack of the Platters swc p the Junior Jays off their fe et and pil' up a score that was never overcome. Hatt opened the quarter with a field goal and a free throw by Perry helped thine along, then one of the most spec tacular plays that was witnessed in the game occurred when Hatt from the sidelines sank a beautiful long field goal that spelled defeat for the visitors altho P rry for good measure added another in the last few mo ments of the play. The only score made by Creighton in the last peri td were two free throws by VanAckr u ThcPrcpsters marie nine field goals to Plattsmouth's eight and made eood four out of five of their free throws but the large number of fouls that were chalked against the Prtpstcs . t. lw ... , , ...i,, LkhAT. " th.. ft .. 1 ',s r.1 six out of seven shots, while Hatt made two out of three good. The Creighton team have a ereat fighting organization and for the third time in as many years have slipped when meeting the Platters. this year the score being the largest margin that has yet been chalked up in favor of the locals. Every member of the Platter team deserves the highest praise for their work on the floor and their hard fight won for their school one of the hottest and best games that has marked the history of basketball in this city as the tide of battle wa constantly shifting in the strucgl" ari( made uncertain until the last for his fine work which h;.s feature-d his floor game this seasm.
