(arte cmi-TillcdUi) Cribuut THIRTY-SEVENTH YEAR. NORTH PLATTE, NEB., NOVEMBER 8, 1921. No. 87 J, i COLUMBUS HERE FRIDAY -COACH N 13 VILLUS REVIEWS TILE PltOSPECTS FOR THE FOOT BALL GA31E North Platte returned victorious Ironi Gothenburg Friday, having de feated the Gothenburg team 21 to 0 with both Locke and Simon on the side lines. The team came through the contest without injury and will commences this evening to prepare for the Columbus game which will be played here on Armistice day. .North Platte Is now facing three of the hardest games on the schedule and a victory In each Instance will undoubtedly bring the State Champ ionship to North Platte. No team in Nebraska has .played a schedule on which more representative teams were listed. Columbus started poorly, being defeated by Clay Center and Norfolk in the first two games of the season. It has, howevpr,- developed Into a very formidable team, having recent ly defeated South Omaha 34 to 7, Fremont 14 to 0 and Central High of Omaha by the narrow margin af a safety 2 to 0 last Friday. Colum bus is coming determined to wreck North Platte's championship hopes and whether it will accomplish its purpose remains to be seen. Armistice, day has been declared by the President to bo a National Holiday and if the weather is good, one of tho largest crowds that over witnessed a foot ball game in North Plafte will undoubtedly bo on hand when the whistle blows. :o:- IMtOMlNENT LINCOLX COUNTS PIONEER PASSES AWAY IN ClIIOAQO Word was received here yesterday of the death of Luclen Stebbins, one of Lincoln County's oldest pioneers.

Clark, Superintendent of tho Stato Industrial School for Boys at Kearney was a visitor In North Platte and addressed tho Rotary Club at its noonday luncheon. The members and their ladjes gathered at tho Lutheran church basement and were served with a fine dinner by the ladles of tho church. Miss Kramph spoke briefly on the Red Cross Roll Call and asked tho Ro- tarians to back up the people who aro doing social and philanthropic work for the city. She spoko of the Red Cross and Its drive for members and urged North Platto 1 people to do their best this year. Supt. Clark, spoke at some length on the boy question, giving his re marks, In a voice which was easily heard by everyone present and In a (oho which carried conviction and weight. He said It was 'not theory with him as ho was in daily contact with the boys who had gone wrong He said boys stole cars becauso they like to get behind the wheel and drive cars. They are extravagant because they see the extravagance of the wealthy and want to do the same. They -go to picture shows alone and interpret tho scones of the show without the guidance of an older person. Fathers are so busy they cannot chum with the boys and they grow up without the advice and council which they should have. Supt. Clark's address was well re ceived and will mean much to. those present if they will act upon it. Ho left on an early afternoon train for Kearney. -:o:- STATE REGENT PRESENT AT DAUGHTERS OF AMIS R IAN R E VOLUTION M EETING The D. A. R. Lodge met at the home of Miss Graco Mooney last evening.
