Mississippi, and in the great flood 'f lt'l's were l,-avy losers as the waters of the great river swept over the rich (ielta lands were their plaiitaiton is located. Governor Sheldon in the past few y. ars has waged a warfare with the dominant forces in the republican party in Mississippi which wa led by the national committeeman, a i-oh"reJ leader, and while Howard was the victor in the struggles dur ing the Coolidge administration, Sheldon lias won the ear of the new a d iii i n isra t ion apparently. Sheldon was elected to the governor-hip of Nebraska in lJH'C as the leader of the famous reform move ment which overthrew the railroad political machine. It was during his political machine. It was during his mary system came Into existence, and the supreme court membership was i:: '-ea-f d from three to seven. Two of the four men mimed by Sheldon. W. II. Kose and J. II. Dean, are still a the bench. Rose has served con tinuously and I an for all but a per iod of seven years. A radical reduc tion in passenger railroad rates to two cents per mile, as well as great uts in freight and express rates was also accomplished. He was defeated by A. C. Shallenberger in when the latter was swept Into offite as the democratic ticket, led by William Jennings Bryan for president for the third. i ni". carried th midwest. The selection of Mr. Sheldon is a real credit to the Hoover administra tion and will be much more satisfac tory to the peepl of Mississippi who have long opposed the naming of colored men to the'ehief office under the federal government. ATHLETICS WIN SUNDAY The riattsmouth Athletics enter tained at home Sunday with a red hot football came to pleace the fans and with tlo result at the gun of L'C for the Athletics while the Omaha Comets, tlieir foes, received 13. The work of the Plattsmouth back field wa's of a high standard and the smashing and shifting attacks of the three horsemen, Frank Koubek. C-or-'e Sedlacek and Homer Spang-1-r. kept the visitors plenty busy and in the line football the locals were most eff.-iive in making their downs ami !((! the visitors to largely rely on an ue-'ial a'tack. The superiority of the Athletics . was shown in their ability to smash throuch the visitors' line and with Koubek as the battering ram, a steady march down the fild to the visitors' goal marked a feature of the game, the touchdown being made by Sed lacek. The pass received by Dick March also was one of the thrillers of the game for the locals as was the clever playing of Spangler, for mer high school star and one of the towers of strength of the locals. In the line-up of the visiting team was Richard and Poisall Ilerold. for mer Plattsmouth boys and who play ed a good game for their team. The visitors scored first on an intercept ed pas-j that they carried down over the Plattsmouth goal and later in a spectacular passing game, marched over half of the distance down the held to another score, completing some six passes in this part of the game.

Patton of this city, who has large interests in the state of Geor gia in pecan groves in the southern part of that state, returned home yesterday and reports that the con ditions in the south are not the best. In the nut raising sections of Geor gia there has been a very light crop of the pecans and almonds as well as the other nuts which form a very large staple crop of that state. Large ac reages of the orchards have yield ed but small returns as the heavy winds in October swept away much of the crop before it was matured. On the wav south Mr. Patton trav eled through a heavy snow in Ten- nessee where the average was five inches over a great deal of the east ern part of that state, a condition that the residents there stated was most unusual, being the heaviest snow in thirty-two years. Mr. Pat ton also saw large sections that were under water as the result of the overflowing of the streams in the states of Tennessee and Alabama and which made a great deal of suffer ing among the residents of the flood ed sections.

Hunters are Causing Trouble on Farms Here Authorities Are Kept Busy Keeping Off Invasion of City Hunting Parties on Farms From Monday's Dutiy The hunting season is now on and the farmers of this locality are suf fering from the usual influx of hunt ers on Sunday from Omaha, as the hunterscome in and proceed to tramp over the farms in search of the wild game and regardless of the wishes or desires of the owners of the farms The authorities have been called out several times by reports of hunt no Buuomig recKu-ssiv over me ..!. nt.r.r...n 1 - T . , . 1 farms, making it dangerous for live stock and poultry as in many cases the hunters are not anv too good marksmen and form a real menace to the farmers of the countv. Most of the farm owners have no objection to hunting parties if they come and secure permission to hunt on the lands and are careful in their shooting, but to have a carload or two of hunters unload and proceed to start shooting and in many cases wounding animals and fowls belong ing to the farmers. The reckless type of hunters makes it difficult for the careful sportsman who may enjoy a little shooting on Sunday and arouses a most antagon istic feeling among the farmers and for which they cannot be blamed. Yesterday Constable Tom Svoboda was called out several times to farms in this locality on the reports of hunting parties from Omaha invad ing the farms but the hunters had evidently decided to bandon the shooting as they were absent when the constable arrived to look them over.
