The pheasant cock makes almost
daily attacks upon Eugene K. Clark,
the rural carrier, when he passes
along his route, necessitating de
tours by the mail carrier to avoid
the bird. A federal regulation ap
plying to rural mail routes provides
that the route must be kept open
and passable on penalty of abandon
ment. Under the Nebraska law, Hun
garian pheasants are protected in all
seasons.
The question is: What to do? Mr.

take the matter up before the Izaak

Galveston, Tex.. April 17. Who
are the two happiest girls in the
world?
It might be very hard to decide, so
many things entering into that bliss
ful state we call happiness, but high
up among the nominations would be
Miss Italy and Miss Germany.
These two young ladies, Livia Mar
racce and Hella Hoffman by name,
have just been chosen as the first
entries for Galveston's famous Inter
national Pageant of Pulchritude and
Bathing Girl Revue which will be
held here June 2 to f inclusive and
life for them has become a round of
modiste's shops preparing the gorg
eous raiment in which they will daz
zle hundreds of thousands of people
here this summer along with beauties
from twelve other foreign countries,
half the states in the union and
i ma n v of the laruer cities of this
country. '
ijy winning contests of wide scope
jn their native lands, competing
against hundreds of other beauties,
the two young ladies will get a free
trip to the United States, Fraulein
Hoffman, a 17 year old Berlin blonde,
coming by Ozean or North German
Lloyd steamer direct from Bremen to
Galveston and Signorina Livia Mar-
racce by steamer from Franco along
with the other foreign beauties who
. will board tne rrencu lAne steamsnip
Cuba, especially assi; Ted for this
gala voyage, during which bathing
beauty entries for Galveston will be
I picked up at each port of call in-
! eluding Havana.
The two ravishing beauties are
' now being outfitted by the leading
mediates of Berlin and Milan who
have set themselves to the task of
seeing that Miss Germany and Miss
Italv are supplied with raiment m
j keeping with their exalted state. And
with all the rounds of the dressmak
ers and the excitement of preparing
, for a trip to the United States, my
thical judges who might set out at
! this moment to find the wo happiest
girls in the world wouldn't go far
i wrong in picking them.
I Wan lot ?i Ifnffmsin was the first of-
j ficial entry for the third internation- '
j al pageant and Signorina Marracce
the second.
Plattsmouth's part in this inter
national beauty contest will be play
ed next Monday and Tuesday at the
! Parmele theatre and you will then I
have the opportunity to prove to j
prove to yourself the . fact that
Plattsmouth and vicinity is blessed
i with loveiy pills as beautiful as you
lean find anvwhere. Remember the
,,.ite Ap,n j;?. Bt-cause it won't be
