Everybody Wishing It Would Rain On Account of the Corn No One Thought Games Would Go On. From Friday's Dally. With the weather looking like rain and everybody wishing it would rain on account of the corn, no one thought the games would te played But at the appointed time notwith standing the fact that rain was fall ing and the ground somewhat wet. the game began, and the rain stop ped, the two could not do business at the same time. The first lnlf of the first game were three struck out. and during the lirst four innings rothing doing in the line of runs, when in the fifth the visitors, the famous Armours, got one and in the sixth as well, making them two vhile we did not scare until the seventh and last inning, when Mason made a three bagger. Collins their short, made a home run v.her the bill was lest in the sixth. The sheep had not done their stunt as they Suould. This was a good game with many good features by all the boys. Mason as pitcher was three strike outs ahead of League for the visitors. League walked three men while Mason walked none. There were four hits off each of the pitch ers. Grassman made a good play in getting a ball to first, which resulted in an out of Alva Graves. Robeson was the ump, and gave good satis faction. The visitors were slightly crabby and the results were: Armours J2r0-0 0 0 "1 01 2" Red Sox 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 Second Game Not So Good. In the second game Robeson gave way to Dr. Sandin. Mason was re- ieved by Stimpson and Stimpson by Edwards and Edwards was relieved by Mason. This was putting Stimp son at pitch, Edwards at first and Mason left. The visitors rearranged their line up, and the second game was on. Collins, the right fielder hmt Three balls and two strikes before he found the bal1, but he scooted around, and the others to follow were fanned by Stimpson. The sec crd inning for them was wichout remits, the third gave them a run. he fourth an egg, and the fifth three scores and the sixth and the seventh two, the eighth an egg and the ninth two more runs, making them en. and that appeared enough, but there was nothing to do but play tall and our boys did that. With us Turner made a run in the first, then Edwards began again, as he seemed to have gotten his second wind, for he made the remainder of the runs. Whenever he was up to bat he swat ttd the ball good and plenty, getting five hits from Stillmock, their twirl er, one base hit, three two base hits and one three base hit, with the four runs which he got seemed as though it should be enough, but he wanted to hit it again. Joe Mc Carty made one of the neatest fly catches, which kept the visitors down just one more opportunity. Stimp son played excel'.ent ball, both as pitcher and first, while Mason did great work in the box and good support as outfielder. Gradoville got two base hits, and three singles, while Turner tilted the pill for two two base hits, but was caught at second. Herold made two extra fine fly fowl catches, while he made a double play with Edwards, catching two men giving a bunted ball to Edwards at first, who returned it at heme and the man was caught.

First National Bank Plattsmouth, Nebraska JUL)' SUGAR IS ALLOTEO STATE Nebraska Gets 5,940,000 Pounds for Month, Says Food Ad ministration. From Friday's Dally. Nebraska's allotment for sugar for the month of July is a. 940, 000 pounds, according to information coming to the federal administration for Xebraska. Save all you can from this amount. is the urgent request from Herbert Hoover, Uuited States Food Adminis trator, in a telegram to the Nebraska administration. "If you find It nec essary to issue certificates for more that the allotment to the state, au thorization must be had from Wash ington." "It is imperative that consumpt ion of sugar be reduced to the rations outlined by the food admisistrat ion. It is more to be desired that the avail able sugar be economically and equit ably distributed, rather than to meet an acute shortage later. Because of the Immediate respon.se to the beef conservation program of the food administration, the govern ment has been enabled to purchase substantially the amounts needed for export and as a result a modification of the program has been authorized by Mr. Hoover. Meat Once a Day. Effective Monday, July S, public eating houses TJtOJebraska will be permitted to serve beef one meal each day, announces A. c. Lau. aeputy food administrator for Xebraska. That the meal may be uniform in the state, the noon day meal has been selected as the one during which beef may be served. By-pro ducts of beef, such as hearts, llvero. te., may be served at all meals. . In the opinion of Hoover, which is hared by the Xebraska food admin istration, the one meal per day order will now effect a sufficient conserva- ion to meet the requirements. Xo change is made in the request o mausenoiaer. consumers in the homes are requested to limit their consumption of beef to one and one quarter pounds of clear beef per per son per week, or one and one-half pounds of meat and bone. "The new order has the advantage of also preventing spoilage and waste which might accumulate in the smaller towns where adequate freezer facilities are lacking" says Lau. All public eating places are being notified by the hotel chairman and are re quested to put the new order into effect next Monday. Flags at the Journal Office.
