The old (lacing is constantly in

Hurtig & Seamon's latest and
greatest extravaganza production,
the "Social Maids," has been se

popular Gayety, Omaha, the week
of January 7. Those who are
among the "regulars" know that
Hurtig & Seamon arc the master
builders of extravaganza, while
the laymen will be convinced dur
ing the first fifteen minutes of
the performance that the enter
prising firm fully deserves the
distinction of being the foremost
producers of the extravaganza
world. A rollicking musical pell
mell in two acts, entitled "The
Hoys From Home," serves as the
vehicle of the "Social Maids." The
big and prominent cast is given
every opportunity for the unload
ing of grotesque humor and drol
leries, fully supplied in the whirl
wind of hilarity and irresistible
scenes, eminating from the
cleverly written farce. A score of
musical ensembles and dancing
medleys lend enchantment to the
ever lively action.

The Plattsmouth High school
basketball team went to Auburn
yesterday, where the team met llu
Auburn High school team in
game last night. Prof. Carl Oscar
Larson accompanied the team as
chaperon, and the sheriff kept his
eve on the bunch without extra
charge, as he was going to Union
anvwav. The line-up which took
the train was Don Arries, Lester
Dallon, Conrad Schlatcr, Myron
Arries, Evan Noble, Glen Kdwards,
Ralph Larson, C. O. Larson and
C. D. Quinton.
Since the above was put in type
the north-bound Missouri Pacific
train, seven hours' late, arrived,
bringing the vanquished team
home again. The Plattsmouth
team was fast, but the Auburn
team were regular cyclonists, and
much larger and heavier than our
team, which explains the score,
which stood 50 to 20 in favor of
Auburn. The first half of the game
was refereed by Prof Carl Oscar
Larson of Plattsmouth and the
second half by Prof. Hair of
Auburn. We think it was a mis
take to have the Auburn professor
referee nny of the game.
