Eagles Band and Lepon Juvenile
Band are Heard in Pleasing
Concert Last Night.
From Thursday's Dal v
After the winter of rest and
with
occasional practices to keep up
the
last
music spirit, the Eagles band
evening was heard in the first
lie offering since last year, and which
entertained a very large number of
the music lovers of the community
at the concert which was staged at
the court house lawn and given
under the direction of V. R. Holly,
who had charge of the program last
year.
The band has a large number of
experienced artists in their person
nel and who always assist in making
the concerts most enjoyable and real
musical treats, the local band hav
ing the reputation of being one of
the best in the state.
Last evening the program included
some of the always popular standard
numbers, featuring Meacham's well
known "American Patrol." as well as
the popular song hit selections, "A
Night in June" and "Highways are
Happy Ways," and the Spanish sere
nade number, "Visions of Madrid."
On the concert program, Peter Grado
ville was featured as the solo artist
with a cousaphone number. "The
Octopus and the Mermaid," which
was very much enjoyed by the audi
ence. Not the least pleasing of the fea
tures of the evening was the first
public appearance of the American
Legion Junior band, which has for
the last few
weeks been under the
direction of Mr. Holly and L. D
Hiatt and these young musicians
made themselves recognized as com
ing band men in the excellent way
in which they handled the various
numbers on their part of the pro
gram and which included the old
favorites, "Maryland, My Maryland,"
"Old Folks at Home" and "America,"
while the saxophone quintet com
posed of Donald Cotner. Robert Hall,
Edward Egenberger, James Begley
and Herbert Minor gave the number,
"My Old Kentucky Home."
This young band is full of promise
of some splendid musical work in the
future years and the manner in
which they responded to their part
of the program was a real delight to
the audience and the youngsters re
ceived a real hand for their work in
making the program of the evening
a real success.

Legion Secures
Isler Shows for
June 11 to 16
Twenty Car Carnival Here in 1925
Coming Back This Year One
of Best on the Eoad.
The "Greater Isler Shows." travel
ing in their own special train of.
twenty odd cars, will be in Platts-'
mouth the week of June 11th to 16th,
inclusive. Contract for their appear-j
aiice here was entered into by thei
American Legion post last Saturday,
when the advance representative ofj
the concern was here to close the
deal that has been pending for sever
al months. In fact, the Legion has
been endeavoring for two years to
secure a return engagement cf the
Isler shows, which exhibited here in
1925. and lived up to their reputation
Gf being one of the cleanest carnival
concerns on the road, but their 1926
and 1927 routings did not bring them
near enough to Plattsmouth so they
could afford to make the long jump.
In 1926, the Noble Fairley company,
a smaller, but equally clean carnival,
exhibited here during the week of
July 4th. under Legion auspices.
Last year, after early-season efforts
to secure a good company had proven
futile, a contract was made with the
Dominion shows for appearance the
fore part of September, but later
canceled by the Legion when it was
learned the shows were not up to the
type desired here. Thus the revenue
that might have been made was not
only lost, but an advertising and job
printing bill left for the Legion to
pay.
Louie Isler, who is known among
the Billboard followers as the "Sun
day School Carnival Man," is with
the shows personally from the time
they start out in the spring until the
close of the season, supervising the
conduct of the various attractions,
which accounts for their ability to
provide ticket takers at all the at
tractions as well as extra police and
parking officers adjacent to the
grounds during the six-day engage
ment here.
RAIN DOES DAMAGE
Thursday's Daily
The southwestern part of the state
was visited by a very heavy rain
storm yesterday afternoon and last
night and which has done a great
deal of damage in that locality and
caused considerable loss anddelay in
traffic to the railroad companies.
The Burlington had a very bad
washout on the McCook division that
necessitated a detour of the main line
trains and No. 6 eastbound from
Denver, which was due here at 7:15
this morning, will not be here until
around 8 o'clock tonight, while No.
2. the afternoon train due at 4:30 is
' ected t0 reach here between 7 and

Nolte's Ideas on Poultry Situation
Since Mr. Nolte has been Interested
in poultry for a good many years, we
were interested in getting from him
his latest ideas on what might be
considered the trend of the industry.
He stated that this season it is pretty
evident that the persons who might
be called in-and-outers in the poultry
industry, were out this season. Ouri
readers will recall that during the;
past few years, a lot of folks on the j
farms and in small towns and cities,
who have never been particularly in
terested in poultry, began to dip
rather heavily into the game. They
thought perhaps that profits in poul-
try were rather easy, but soon dis- tne ramny nome on soum sia sutti,

one 20x40 feet: one 16x60 felt in

houses have an opportunity to run
on rye and alfalfa. They are given
commerical feeds and at all times,
plenty of water.
Speaking of the comparison be-
tween the Buff Orpingtons and the
White Leghorns. Mr. Nolte stated
that the Orpingtons do not stand the
hot weather as well and their egg

they lay better in the winter months
The feed consumption of the Orping-

scholarship and which must meet
every requirement of the society in
the studies and courses that are
taught.
In the local school the selection
of the seven members of the highest
standing in the school, made from
the membership of the senior class,
has resulted in the naming of George

The presentation of the emblems
of the membership in the society,
handsome golden keys in the form of
pins for the girls and watch charms
for the boys, was made to the seven
members of the senior class by J. V.
Simons, principal of the high school,
as the young people were designated
for the scholastic honors.
R. F. Patterson, member of the
faculty explained the society and the
fact that membership in its body was
a real tribute to the student that
was so designated and represented
the award and recognition of their
efforts in the school work that gave
them the highest standing. The
membership of the society is confined
to the seniors of the school and each
year the members will be presented
with their recognition from the na
tional society when they attain the
standards of scholarship that will
entitle them to be given the golden
key that has unlocked the gate of
knowledge.
DESTROYING BIRD LIFE
Chief of Folioe Arnold Johnson is
preparing to launch a campaign
against the use of air rifles and sling
shots in the hands of irresponsible
youths and which is threatening to
do away with a large part oT the bird
life in the community and which is
one of the great beauties. of nature
in the western country.
It has been reported to the police
that the boys have a practice of
shooting the nesting birds and par
ticularly the robins, wrens, turtle
doves and other of the choicest birds
that make this section of the coun
try - their habitude. This warfare
against birds prevents the hatching
of the young and the replenishment
of the bird life that has a hard
enough time at the best for existence,
and which should be aided rather
than harmed by the thoughtless acts
of the boys who may have air rifles
or the equally dangerous sling shots.
The birds of the air were given
