THE CONSERVATION
OF GRAIN MEANS A
LOT AT PRESENT
MATTER OF THE CONSERVATION
OF AMOUNT OF GRAIN FED
TRUCK HORSES IS GREAT.
Fi cm Friday's t'nily.
Tlso tractor is a feature in tlie
revolution which is under process,
in this country as well as in the
world in general. The matter of the
uso of trucks to supercede the. horse
in tlu city of New York, is making
comparisons, which are a revelation
to those who have not taken a
thought to the amount of pram con
sumed by truck horses, even in one
city of the union. The comparison
of the truck and the horFc are here
made for the city of New York.
"It is estimated that a horse in
active service consumes grain cnouvh
to feed fo-ir to six adults; that 10S.
fioo horses are kept in this city; that
four acres of cultivated land arc re
quired to prow grain for crn horse
for one year; and that 4S2.0"0 acics
need to le cultivated to feed the
horses of New York. So. according
1o the Food Control, inasmuch as
Use world-wide f iod shortage will re
quire at least several rears more to
correct and the heavy animals used
for large loads need much strain,
practically all of which could he
prepared for human consumption, the
shift lrom horse to motor hauling
F't-iuesis a food-sav'ng which is
worth careful consideration. and
"'human beings oucrht not to he ask
ed to cut down their rations until
all other available means of prevent
ing tood waste have been used."
Henry Ford who is authority, be
cause lie has succeeded, not from
the fact ct beins: smarter or more
clever than the ordinary American,
but because he has "gone over" and
lias made it a suceesr. has to say
about the matter of the tractor as an
aircnt for raisins: more grain in
France, and the same is true in this
count rv.

THE TRUCK fVl AN,;
iflllE;
OMAHA
"One tractor sent to France or
England now will produce fifty times
its weight and bulk in wheat and
food this year, and one- ship carrying
tractors now is a good as fifty ship"
carrying food next fall; a properly
organized factory running on one
model can produce a tractor for every
workman in every fifteen days, and
each tractor will add to a farm the
work inp: power of several men dur
ing the whole year." If this is deem
ed perhaps too enthusiastic, the ser
vice of the tractor and also of the
passensrer automobile when pressed
into "chore" work for which it was
not designed has been proven. And
now that present and prospective
shortage of human labor is such a
menace. Mr. Ford is clearlv sound in
savins; that "it remains for America
to carry engine power to agricul
ture." MARRIED SOME TIME SINCE.

From Friday's Daily.
Wednesday evening, the opening

an attendance that more than filled
the expectation of the new mana
gers and demonstrated the fact that

and listened to the music of the
new orchestral pipe organ.

Parinele arc of the very best, and
the new gold fibre screen of latest
design .takes the vibration almost
entirely out of the pictures and
promises to be a feature that will
appeal to the movie-going public,
through reducing to a minimum the
eye-strain that results from view
ing the moving images on the aver
age screen. In the matter of seat
ing this new movie house is spec
ially lavored. Large roomy seat:.;,
placed to accomodate patrons were
a part, of the equipment that came
to the new management upon as
suming control and there is plenty
of elbow room, while many of the
seats are finely upholstered.
Tonight the house has been let to
the high school for use in holding
their class play, "Rack to the Farm"
but an uninterrupted schedule of
pictures will begin tomorrow cven
iug. The new management expects to
spare no efforts or expense that the
every desire of the theatre going
pubPc may be met and satisfied and
to this end it is their intention to
secure and show the very best pic
tures obtainable.
Should the crowds of Wednesday
night and last night be any criter
ion .-.f '- may be expected in the
way of attendance at this new mov
ing picture theatre, the success of
the venture may be assured and
Plattsmouth people can congratulate
themselves over the securing of as
good production as are shown in
Omaha, including moving pictures,
vaudeville and high class theatrical
attractions, all of which it will be
possible to feature to a nicety on
the large stage at the Parmele.
Messrs. Moore and Cloidt, who are
behind tho new enterprise are full
of push and stamina and will see to
it that Plattsmouth gets nothing but
the best at all times.

LAST EVENING
A Happy, Good Natnred Bunch, Wbo
Seemed to Know the Game and
Who Also Played It.
From Thursday's Daily.
The all-soldier team,- composed of
members of the 41st Infantry, en
camped at the rifle range north of
town, which played the Red Sox at
the ball park last evening was a very
good natured bunch of boys, and
the contest for superiority was free
from crabbing but full of good nat
ured jollying, and everybody felt
good, win or lose. The crowd out to
witness the game was quite small.
however and the box office receipts
were light.
The game in general was very
ood and but for a bunch of mis-
connections on the part of the Platts
mouth boys, resulting in the soldiers
getting four runs in the fifth and
two in the seventh, might easily
have been won.
Stimpson was on the mound for
Plattsmouth and the game had
scarcely been called when he fanned
Waller and Wheeler of the 41st,
while Wooten was able to get in a
single, to which he added second,
where he died when DeP.utts was
fanned. In the second all were fan
ned by Stimpson while in the third
Williams was able to make third.
and Waller saw second when the in
ning was over. In the fourth it was
simply a one. two, three count and
the stuff was off.
In the fifth inning, Windhigler
got to second, but was caught by
P.oaling while Harroll was fanned
by Stimpson. Williams was hit by
the ball and given a walk. Waller
up and swatted it for a two bag
ger, while Williams went to third
Wheeler was given a walk and the
bases were full when Wooten was
able to land on the sphere and there
were two tallies to the credit of the
soldiers, when the smoke cleared
iway, with a man on second and
another on third, while DeRutts
was handling the hickory. Here fate
intervened and a bad throw allowed
the other two men to come home,
although DeButts was not able to
find the ball. In the sixth innin
Hunt saw first but was put out there
on a go-back, while the others beat
the air. In the seventh inning Har
roll got a hit which entitled him
to second, and later he was able to
get to third. Williams could not
find the ball and took his seat on
the benches. Walker swatted the
ball, giving Harrold an opportunity
to tally, while Walker rested safely
at second. Wheeler got a good one,
but got caught on second, although
Walker got home. DeRutt was tan
ned anil the inning was over.
With the Red Sox at bat the story
is a trifle different, at least in the
number of men getting safe home
In the beginning McCarthy sent one
to center field and was accorded lirst.
Salsberg Hew out, catching McCar
thy, and with two down Edwards
made first on a single and Hcrold
(lew out. In the next inning Mason
Roaling and Grassman were fanned
In the third Gradoville was fanned,
Stimpson got second on a fair hit,
McCarthy struck out, Salsberg made
first and Edwards struck out. In
the fourth Herold, Mason and Roal
ing were struck out in rapid lire
order. In the filth Grassman maue
first, reaching second on Gradoville's
hit, but was caught there. Stimp
son struck out and was followed by
McCarthy, who made a hit, advanc
ing Gradoville to third, and when
Salsberg succeeded in making a sin
gle Gradoville scored and his was the
only tally tor the home tea mduring
the entire game. Edwards went out
and the inning was over. In the sixth
Htrold made a good hit and got to
second, but the others were not al
lowed to see either first or second
in the remainder of the sixth or in
the seventh.
The game was called at the end
of the seventh on account of dark
ness and the Sammies were victors
of the hour. Stimpson struck out
eleven men. while DeRutt had nine
scalps dangling, from his belt. Stimp
son pitched a" 'good game but 'even
with the vociferous applause ; from
the grand stand, was not able '.to win
the game without support, which is
very essential to success. , ;

WHAT IS YOUR
PORTION OF WORK
From Friday's Pally.
He who not alone in the war but
in the every day affairs of human
life does not do his portion in the
care and the maintainance of the so
ciety and government under which
he lives has no right to its protec
tion. He who will not take his
turn at the pumps, deserved to go
down with the ship. He who does
not do what he can to assist in pre
serving the right kind of a govern
ment has no right to the protection
of privileges of that government. Ilis
is a story illustrative of the proposi
tion given by the Saturday Post,
which is just to the point. Read it
and let a part of it soak in.
The settlement received warning1
perhaps from the sole survivor of
the next settlement that Indians
were 'on - the warpath.'-; Its .members
hurried intqthe stockade'fandlmade
such preparations as they could" for
