NO. 50 Sunday Draws Many Strangers lo This City Outside People Visit Here and Resi dents Here Motor to Other Points to Enjoy Day From Monday's Dally The changes that the rapid devel opment, of the automobile has made in thr life and habits of the Ameri can risen and women are shown very learly in the large volume cf Sunday travel that is noted in this city and also in other towns over the county, state and nation. The traveling public is increasing by leaps and bounds and where a ff-v years ago a traveler from a dis tant state or locality attraicted more or less attention, today they are a matter of everyday sight, traveling from everj- part of the country, some times as individuals and up to large family groups, and ranging from California to New Yoik and from the Canadian provinces to Texas and the far southern states. Here yesterday the observer could see cars on the streets from almost all of the middlewestern states and many passing through from Califor nia. Florida. Illinois, Kentucky, Min nesota. Maryland and a widely scat tered part of the country. The num ber here from our neighboring coun ties of Sarpy, Douglas and Otoe was very large and many of these came in to enjoy a meal in this city and drive out over the points of interest in this locality. The local people al so were out on the highways in large numbers and as the citizens of neigh boring counties motored here, the residt-nts of this locality returned the visit with motor trips to the nearby - towns. The automobile has done much to drive out sectional lines in the nation and in the increasing number of cars that are in use there is a greater re lationship among the residents of all parts of the nation and gradually breaking down the artificial lines that once marked the various parts of the nation. From the great cities the dwell.rs are coming to know and P- preciate the more remote agricultural regions ana to nna new scenic glor ies in the other sections of the coun try, while from the farms and the smaller cities the dwellers are begin ning to see more and more of the great cities of the land whose man made monuments of great buildings are a part of the modern life of the American nation. As has been said before, the auto- mobile as well as tne can opener nas . - - i made a great difference in the past iew yesiis in uui wiuuu, """"6 residents of all sections more appre ciative-of their fellow countrymen.

NO MORE LUNCH TILL FALL The discontinuance of free lunch at Legion Saturday night dances until fall, has been announced. To recip rocate the price of pop has been re- duced from a dime to five cents. Dur- ing the heated season of the year the demand for hot dog sandwiches drops off, with the result that the boys have been running long on lunch for some time. On the other hand the demand for cold drinks increased greatly and to make that is why the pop price has been re per cent duced to 5 cents per bottle. In the winter, when the volume of sales is winier, wnen me volume oi sales is much smaller, the price will probably have to be 6hot back-up, and if it is, the free lunch will be resumed.

Missouri's Penal System Rewards Prisoners' Honor Fanning Helps Convicts to Improve Morals, Three-Year Exper iment Indicates Kansas City, Mo. It has been proved over a three-year period by the Missouri State Penal Board that prison farming ranks high In honor building. F. B. Jones, farm commissioner for the State Penitentiary at Jefferson City, who is himself a successful dairy farmer and fruit raiser from the Ozark region, is so highly grati fied by the conduct of the 125 men and women working under him that he has gradually reducted the force of guards, and placed his farm help in sleeping quarters around which nc bars or retaining walls exist. - "Of course, the main reason we are surfeited with applications from within the prison walls to work on any one of the three state farms ad jacent to the penitentiary," said Mr. Jones, "is that we reduce the prison sentence five days for every 30 days' work in the field. The other impor tant factor is they want to get out from behind the gray walls and dingy cell doors. Once being In the open working on the farms, It was a great temptation for many to escape, and three years ago when these farms- were first established some of oui farm held run away." But he has been placing the men and women strictly on their honor since he came on the job. There are no women convicts in the main state prison, but 65 live on a 40-acre farm adjoining the peniten tiary. Last year they operated a can ning factory and put up for the pris oners in the main building more than 45,000 gallons of corn, tomatoes and other vegetables. On the state prison dairy farm about five miles east of the Capitol 35 men work in the field without guards. They only have one guard at night, and are not placed in cells but sleep in cabins scattered about the farm.

J Locals Win a Hot Game at Fort Crook Trailing the Soldiers the Mighty Bat of Joe Krejci Brings Home the Victory for Piattsmouth From WedneFOayn Dally The baseball fans that followed the local Interstate team to Fort Crook last evening were treated to one of the most exciting and inter esting games that thj local team has had this season and in which the final result was a 3 to 2 victory for Plattfamouth, in as thrilling a climax in the ninth inning that the fans have had the opportunity of seeing. The battle was one of too much Krejci for the soldiers as Joe not only robbed the doughboys of a run by his sensational catch of a hard and long fly in his center garden position, but as well smashed out a homer in favor of the Platters. Kre jci and Trumble were the outstanding players for the locals as their stick work was par excellent while the remainder of the team seemed to lack their hitting stride of earlier in the season. Harvey, jinx for the Platters, was on the mound for the kahki clad players and was effective against the greater part of the Piattsmouth line up, he striking out eight of the lo cals while Jimmy Eaton retired five of the soldiers through the k. o route. Piattsmouth opened the scoring in the first inning when Ralph Ganse mer laced a hot one over Smith at second base and later registered at the plate on the rap of Trumble. The soldiers registered in the sec ond inning when Turley, football and baseball star, now one of Uncle Sam'p boys, smashed one to left that was good for three bags and from this position was able to score when Grace hit. The Fort Crook crew stepped out in front in the fifth inning when with one down, Robinson connected with one of Jimmy's slants for a safety and scored when Harvey hit safely. The doughboys held the If ad from the fifth until the ninth inning of the game. The fatal ninth for the soldiers opened with the Platters coming to bat with their wrecking crew up Trumble doubling to center and was sacrificed to third base where Ernie was resting meditating on the heat of the day when Josef Krejci un loaded all he had on Harvey, dump ing one of the heaves of the soldier pitcher over the hills and far away for a home run. This was the last of the struggle as the Soldiers were unable to score altho they had a man on the sacks in this inning. The tabulated score of the game was as follows: Piattsmouth A o 2 1 3 0 1 0 0 0 1 Gansemer, 2b 4 11 Newman, ss 4 0 2 Trumble, If 4 Distell, 3b 4 3 0 m o l 0 0 0 0 3 5 9 Krejci. cf 4 Spidell. c 4 O'Donr ell, lb 4 Swanson. rf 2 Swoboda, rf 2 Eaton, p 3 35 7 27 10 3 Fort Crook ab h ro K 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Props, If 4 0 0 0 0 12 1 8 1 1 o Smith, 2b 4 1 Linksavage, cf 4 1 Turley, rf 4 1 Cherry, lb 4 1 Grace, 3b 4 1 White, c 3 0 Chasteen, c 1 1 Harvey, p 4 2 Robinson, ss 4 1 3G 9 27 12 ENJOY PICNIC PARTY From Monday Daily The banks of the Platte r'ver was a great drawing crowd yesterday for various picnic parties from the towns in this part of the state and among these was the picnic staged by the dramatic club of the K.
