but the Bobkittens were able to take
a two point lead in the fading mo
ments and then the Platters execut
ing some field strategy were able to
place a score when Hadraba, trying
for a foul allowed the ball to hit
the bankboard and bouncing into the
hands of McClanahan who threw safe
for a field goal and knotted the score
as the final whistle was sounded.
The extra period saw Peru make
good several free throws that seemed
for a time to insure them a game
but a field goal by Hadraba and Mc
Clanahan spilled the beans for the
Bob Kittens and gave victory to the
locals.
The game was witnessed by a very
large crowd and the verdict was that
the Platters represented the best
team that had opposed the Prepsters
in their own lair and were able to
take away the game from the fast
and aggressive Peruvians.

S. W. Ball Passes Away at the M. E.
Hospital in Omaha Had Re
sided Here 40 Years
On Tuesday, February 12th there
will be observed the anniversary of
the birth of one of the greatest and
most striking figures of the world's
history, a man of destiny and a leader
of his people in the hour of greatest
national stress Abraham Lincoln.
In the passage' of time too many
hold Lincoln as but a figure of
the past, the ideals for which he
contended, the sacrifices that he made
in the cause of the life of his nation
and the cause of liberty are for
gotten in this age of new ideals and
the spirit of centralization. To
Abraham Lincoln the people of the
last two generations owe the fact
that there is a united American re
public and that the liberty that the
forefathers purchased by their blood
has been preserved to the present
day and where the awakening to
the teachings of Lincoln is most
needed when the indefference of the
people allow their blood bought
rights to be nibbled from them by
bureaucratic laws and exponents of
the centralization of power.
There will be no extensive obser
vance of the anniversary of the birth
day of this man of sorrow and trial,
who born in the poorest of surround
ings in the wilds and the wilder
ness of Kentucky, lived to become
the leader of the -nation in the war
that preserved intact the union of
the states and whose death at the
hands of the assassin brought to
the nation the horrors and suffering
of the reconstruction period. One of
the best observances of the day would
be for every citizen to read the life
of Abraham Lincoln, has speeches
and his state papers in order to
glimpse his great and undying ser
vice to the people of the United
States.
It is planned here that the citi
zens recognize the day with the dis
play of the flag in their homes, and
places of business and in this feature
of the day the Boy Scouts will have
a part as it is planned to have the
Scouts hold flag raisings at Garfield
park, the Riverview park and Win-
tersteen hill park where there are
suitable flafipoles and where the
Scouts will hold their flag services
and render the salute to Old Glory
which waves over a united nation
as the result of the services of
Abraham Lincoln.
Put the flag out Tuesday and show
that the memory of this humble son
of the common people has not van
ished from the nation that he gave
his life service for, that the sentiment
of his immortal Gettysburg, address
has not passed from the mind of man.

In the last 10 years, according
to the American Automobile Assoc
iation, the Federal government has
spent $614,000,000 for roads. This
averages slightly less than $3 per
year for the motor vehicles now in
operation.
There is no more profitable way of
spending public funds than in scien
tific highway building and it is to
be hoped that, in the future, the gov
ernment will continue expenditures
for roads proportionate to the na
tional income and the need for such
improvements. Highways attract in
dustry and trade, develop agricul
tural districts and advance our eco-
nomci and social civilization. j
