It is- told- -of a-chicken thief xi o
has made his home between Ne

t ime since when he moved away,
that he had been in the habbit of
lifting chickens from the roosts of
the residents around both towns and
throughout the country. And that
when he had taken the fowls be
would turn them loose around his
place for a while i.nd then take then
to market. Not so long since it is
claimed he made a good haul from
a certain farm And not finding the
market just to his liking, he kept
them for a while and then traded
them in on a cow which he purchased
from the man whom he had stolen
the chickens from. It has been said
that there is only 20 cents difference
between the man who works and the
man who don't, ar.d it sometimes
looks like this was the truth.

OMAHA WINS DEBATE
1
Secure Two to One Decision Over
Plattsmouth at Debate Held
Here Last Night.
From Saturday's Daily.
The debate covering the question
of the close shop as relating to the
industrial condition of the country
and -the support of public opinion on
the subject, which was held at the
high school auditorium last night,
drew out a very pleasing audience
and the work of the young men on
both teams was much enjoyed by all
of the audience.
The judges of the debate. T. J.
Plauka of the Council Bluffs high
school. B. M. Orr. superintendent of
the Glenwood schools, and Rev. L.
R. Cotton of Nebraska City, gave
the re?ult as very close and it re
quired some deliberation to award
the victory to Omaha Commerce high
by a two to one decision
The Omaha team that took the
negative of the question was com
posed of Herbert Olson, Ronald Vo
der and Arnold Bruhr. while the
Plattsmouth team, composed of Al
lison Flynn, Karl Wurl and Ray
mend Bookmeyer. took the affirma
tive of the question.

with. Wahoo here two weeks from

tion states that he cannot consider
the acceptance of the petition. Mr.
Teegarden feels that the changes in
his home that would be necessary
as well as the added responsibility
of the conduct of the office is such
that he cannot possibly take up the
work of making the campaign.
FEEIGHT SHOP WORKS
From Satur Jay's Daily.
For the first time in many weeks
the Burlington had a large portion
of the men in their shops working
today as the freight car repair de
partment did not enjoy the usual
Saturday holiday but. were kept busy
in rushine- renairs on the box cars
and making them ready for service. '
Other departments not necessary in:
tne operation oi xne ireignt car ue
partment were given 'the usual week
end layoff. '
Even granting that non-advertis-;
ing stores could attract as many,
buyers as the advertising ones, the
latter would make tne more money,
because buyers would come knowing
exactly what they wanted and not
take up nearly so much clerk time,
thereby reducing materially the over
head expense. ,
