heavy and decisive score of 3G to 13.
The girls from here were clearly out
classed and while they kept up an
energetic battle were unable to get
any place against the skill and science
of their opponents. Miss Flossie Bute

Omaha, Neb., Jan. 11. The. last
ten years have witnessed a remarkable
rise in the importance and effective
ness of the agricultural colleges, many
of whom are governed and supported
by the state governments thus carry
ing on their work in close cooperation
with the state department of agricul
ture. They have done good work, the
farmer has found if lie follows their
advice he will produce bigger and bet
ter crops, finer stock and more dol
lars at the end of the year. He has
gotten into the habit of sending his
sons lo the state agricultural college
because be finds they come back with
valuable ideas on farming, a renewed
interest in the farm and most, im
portant of all, he finds them divested
of the desire to "leave the farm to go
to town. Tlie work of the college is
not confined to the science 'of agrir
culture alone, u sm.the off the

FARMERS DiSGUSS
FEEDING METHODS
Nearly L'.OOO Attend Sessions of Or
ganized Agriculture at
Lincoln.
Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 18. Nearly 2,000
Nebraska farmers heard talks on
modern methods of agriculture at the
sessions of Organized Agriculture at
the state farm yesterday.
The largest sectional meeting
brought 500 swine breeders, who
heard Dean Rurnett lecture on "Fac
tors of Profitable Swine Breeding."
Dean Rurnett laid special emphasis
on the necessity of feeding grounds
and dwelt particularly upon the ad
vantage of feeding a combination of
corn and alfalfa. "Experiments at the
farm have demonstrated," Dean Bur
nett said, "four pounds of corn feed
will alfalfa will produce a pound -of
pork."
The sheep breeders had nearly 300
at their meeting. W. E. Hewitt of Da
vid City declared that sweet clover
pasturage was ideal for sheep raising.
Clarence Rock, another David City
feeder, said that a summer on proper
pasturage of clover put the sheep in
condition for market in one summer.
Says Farmers Lack Co-operation.
C. H. Ciustafson of the Farmers'
union discussed co-operative methods
at the seed corn section. Mr. Gus
tafson said Nebraska farmers were
under the handicap of the lack of co
operation in the purchase of supplies
and the distribution of their products.
The problem of distribution is the
most important .one w hich the Ne
braska farmers have to face, Mr. Gus
tai'son thinks, and until the question
is settled they can expect to receive
low prices for their labor.
That Nebraska housewives were in
c leasing the size of their meat bills
every month by purchasing fancy cuts
of meat, speakers at the home econom
ics section, told members yesterday.
Must Us? Originality.
"You can m ike just a? appetizing
dishes with lets expensive cuts of
meat," Miss Loom's said. "A meat
bill can be cut in half if the house
wife will only use a little originality
:n pianning her menue.
Mis. Howard Gramlich demonstrat
cd how the cheaper cuts of beef could
be used. Mi v. Gramlich also told the
vrives of farmers how they cculd save
themselves a lot of drudgery by th
are of a firelej.s cooker made at home
at small expense.
Tells of Pioneer Fruit Grower.
At the meeting of the State Horti
cultural society, held in the afternoon
at the Lindcll hall. E. D. Wolth, Ne-
hawka. Neb., snoke on the life of
Is-.i.u- Pollard of Nthawka. who came
to Nebraska in lSo(5, and was one of
the pioneer fruit raisers of the state
Mr. Wolth stated that Mr. Pollard
after settling in Cass county raisei
three orchards before he succeeded in
gottine one with which he was satis
lied. He specialized in Grimes Golden
and Jonathan apples and contributec
largely toward making Nebraska fruit
growing practical.
G. W. Hervey, Omaha, read a paper
to the stock raisers on Richard Da
niel!, a Sarpy county pioneer, who
was the first , man to bring blooded
stock into Nebraska, and who demon
strated that the high class stock will
thrive in this section of the country.
Peter Johnson, Beatrice, Neb., read
a paper paying tribute to the Men
nonites in Nebraska. These people
belonged to a Russian society who
left Russia because of compulsory
military service against their religion
Mr. Johnson said that he considered
these people among the most thrifty
agricultural people in the .state. The
younger generation of this society is
particularly interested in the develop
ment of the rural school system and
they are fast pushing this work in the
communities where they live.
Adapted to Dairying.
Judge W. O. Quarton, Algona, la.,
in addressing the dairymen stated
that the considered Nebraska particu
larly adapted to successful dairying.
He pointed out that the industry pays
best in the winter months, the. flow of
milk being greater then.
A round table discussion on the sub
ject of winter dairying closed the
meeting. . .
Today. at 11 o'clock ameeting was
held for the discussion tf the rural
school question. The consolidation of
the schools was the point of discus
sion. W. H. Campbell, Dr. A. O.
Thomas and W. IL .Clemmons were

Yesterday the county board of in
sanity took .up the case of William
Urwin, who had been brought in by
Sheriff Quinton from his home at
Louisville, and who it was claimed
was in such condition as to warrant
his being sent to the state hospital
at Lincoln. The board after hearing
the facts in the case decided that it
would be necessary for the man to be
sent upland accordingly he was or
dered committed to the hospital. Mr.
Urwin has been given treatment be

A FINE MASK BALL
HELD SATURDAY NIGHT
The grand mask ball of the K. S.
society was held Saturday evening
at their hall on West Locust street,
and despite the untimely weather and
the sleet there was a very large
crowd present to take part in the
pleasant event. The jnaskers were
very much in evidence and from the
strains of the first number given by
the Plattsmouth orchestra there was
something doing on the darnce floor,
with the young and old alike mingling
in the merry dance. The costumes
were varied and quite numerous and
made the task of the judges a very
difficult one iii picking out those who
were entitled to a prize, and the hon
ors were finally given to Joseph Racek
for the first gent's prize as a savage;
Miss Hermie Gradoville as Mother
Goose captured the first ladies' prize,

of young ladies. Misses Josie Ccchal.
Lillian Novatney, Edith Toman and
Josephine Sedlock, who were very
tastefully garbed and carried off Ijio
honors. The occasion throughout was
one cf much pleasure to those in at
tendance anil it was a late hour when
the members of the merry party
wended their way homeward.
JUUKNtY AUHUS5 KlVt
TO SUPPLY WITH BOOZE
Several of the men who have been
employed in working on the rip-rap
at Folsom. Ia., north of Pacific Junc
tion, came over to this city Saturday
and proceeded to take on several large
sized and assorted loads of booze,
which from their long stay in the dry
atmosphere of Iowa, failed to work
just light and the members of the
ju.-.t right and the membersof the
party became pretty well stewed up.
Four cf the delegation left shortly
after noon Saturday for the Iowa
country, making the journey across
the river on the ice. and it was some
trip, too, for the weary members of
the party. Tlie others, who remainei
in the city, proceeded to take on even
more of the distilled SDirits of the
corn juice and became unable to navi
gate arountt, and as a consequence
were picked up by Officers Jones and
McCrary Saturday night and lodgec
in the city bastile for safe keeping
as the men would certainly have been
frozen if thev had started for their
homes across the river. Yesterday
morning tiiev were released aim es
corted to the Burlington station
where they boarded No. 1, bound cast
ward, and were soon on their way
back to our neighboring state to re
sume their labors after their brie
celebration with their old friend, John
Barleycorn.

FASSEO AWAY SUNDAY
.Sunday at C.rlo tkath came to
Mrs. William Vv'yrn, who for the past
few weeks has been gradually failing,
suffering from heart trouble, and the
end tame peacefully to her as she
sr.iik into the dreamless sleep of the
just. Mrs. W'ynn had long been a
resident of Plattsmouth, coming here
with her husband and family in June,
18. and since that time had contin
ued to make this city her home and
where her love of home and family
had won her many warm friends who
share with the members of the family
the sorrow of the past few weeks as
the mother gradually faded from their
midst. Mrs. Wynn was a lady who
cared little for the world aside from
the circle of her loved ones and the
fiieruks whom :h.3 cherished, and her
greatest joy was in ministering to the
want of those she loved, and this she
eentimied until the time that her
health f.iiled and made it necessary
for her to lay aside the cares of the
household, and since that time she
had been tenderlv cared for bv the
men lu rs of the family.
Mrs. Wynn was born in Kent coun
ty, England, January 8, 183", and
hr.d spent her young womanhood in
that country, where she was united
in ma-rmge to William Wynn, and
for a !oig number of years they con
tinued to make their home in old Eng
land. Later Mr. and Mrs. Wynn de
cided to seek their fortunes in the
new wo: Id and came to Canada, where
they resided for a short time, and
then crosc:d the border to the United
States, living in Michigan for a few
years, and thence going to Texas for
a brief po; i d before they located at
Plattsmouth in 1882. The family has
since resided in this city, and three
years ago the husband and father
was called away from his earthly ac
