Lumber Co. -:- NEBRASKA FARMERS SPECIAL TO VISIT WISCON SIN DAIRY FARMS Burlington Will Operate Train That Will Reach the Famous Dairy Country of the Noith. Nebraska farmers and dainrymen who have been wondering why the Wisconcin farmers have been so highly successful with the dairy cow will have the opportunity of their lifetime to see just how the dairymen up there do it in the most famous dairy section of the country. The Nebraska Dairy Development Society with support from the Agriculture College, Lincoln, has arrange to run a Farmers' Special train over the Burlington and Northwestern lines thru the very center of the milky way to the National Dairy Show at Milwaukee. The first 150 farmers to make their reservations will get to so. The Farmers' Special will leave Omaha over the Burlington at 6:30 p. m. September 27th and arrive at Appleton, Wisconcin for its first stop the next afternoon, September 2Sth. It will travel on toward the Dairy Show spending October 1st and 2nd there and returning to Omaha or Lincoln the night of the second of October. "While the chance to see the Dairy Show alone will be worth the cost of the trip, we feel that the greatest benefit that the Nebraska farmers will receive from the trip will come in the opportunity that they will have to visit the practical tiairv farms in several counties in the heart of the dairy section of Wis concin." says Mr. O. H. Liebers Manager of the Nebraska Dairy Development Society and the man who is most anxious to see the train a real success. Sufficient automobiles will be fur nished by the Appleton people to take the entire party on a tour thru part of the Fox River Valley which is without question one of the very best dairy sections in the Untied States. The following morning an auto tour will be made from Apple ton to Waupaca passing thru highly developed dairy country where the farmers will see one to two silos on practically every farm, from 15 to 20 good cows on each farm, and cheese factory every few miles. The party will be at Waupaca Monday morning the 29the and in the afternoon will tour Waupaca county which la known intcrnation ally for its excellent dairy cattle In the evening the party will drive over to Oshkosh thru a Danish and Swedish settlement that illustrates plainly what good dairing will do for a community. In this territory they have 13 cow testing associa tions in one county and all the cows in several of the associations aver age over 300 pounds of fat per year The train will be waiting at 0.sn to Waukesha county which is known for its fine Guernsey and Ayshire cattle. Tuesday, the 30th, will be spent in touring Waukeshaw county again as guest of the local organ izations The final jump on to the National Dairy Show will be made Tuesday- night the 30th. The train will be parked just outside the Fair Grounds and Wednesday and Thursday, Octo ber 1st and 2nd will be spent attend ing the big Show The entire cost of the railroad ticket and pullman from, Omaha to the Show will be $50.45.' Allowing J3. 00 per day for meals, the total cost of the trip will be around $60 There will be no hotel bills to pay since the entire party will live a board the train all the time. Five Dullman ciaches. a dimer and an observation car will accommodate the farmers and make them comfor table. In making his reservations, a farmer should send his name and address and $14.05 for pullman res ervations in advance to Mr. O. II Liebers, Manager; The Nebraska "airy ueveiopmem oocieiy.

FALLS CITY NINE TRIMS PLATTS MOUTH TEAM Final Score of 8 to 2 Marks the Re sult of Meeting at Falls City Sunday Afternoon. The Plattsmouth baseball team was the loser in the game Sunday at Falls City when it was defeated by the Missouri Pacific shop town team l:v the score of S to 2 in a very much one-sided and uninteresting game. The umpiring of the game is com plained of verv much by . the local plavers as well as the fans and the decisions caused much roasting from the Falls City people on the decisions handed the locals, altho the Falls City team playrd a much better game throughout and would probably have won by a much smaller margin. The Plattsmouth team took the load in the game in the second in ning when Art Klauschie rapped one for a circuit drive and scored Grado viile ahead cf him and this formed the total of the run getting for the locals as the fifth inning was the fatal stanza for the locals and the Falls City players were given seven runs in this frame. The Richard son county team hit Klauschle hard in this inning and a number of very costly erors added to the general de moralization prevailing in the ranks of the Plattsmouth team and the um pire assisted with several very poor decisions that enabled the Falls City lads to chalk up the long list of runs th.'t gave them the victory. The Falls City team secured three home runs in the game, the Plattsmouth team making little effort to play and letting the ball go for the circuit drives. One of the decisions that caused the greatest loss to Plattsmouth was thf.t given Joe McCarty, who was on third and on a hit came on home, the catcher of the opposing team was compelled to stand and catch the high throw in to the plate and Joe slid for what seemed a safety as the catcher was unable to get the ball down in time but the umpire gave him the out and this served to dis hearten the locals. Another of the errors of judgment claimed was when on an error Falls City secured a drive out into the field and on which two of their players scored. The ball was thrown in to Herb Klauschie at home and he was awaiting the run ners, one of whom ran out Into the diamond and around the catcher and the second who was cauerht at the plate, but In both cases the umpire ruled that the men were safe. The local team was shifted around a great deal for the game. Pete Her- old. the third sacker, being absent and necessitating the shifting of Ed Gradoville to third. Bill O'Donnell coming in from right field to cover first and Herb Swanson of the pitch ing staff going to the outer garden REPUBLICAN PRE- CINCT MEETINGS. While in the city today Chairman C. E.

The! night the family arrived a heavy storm of rain came, filling the en tire Rock creek valley with water which looked like a flood to the new ly arrived Berger family. Mr. Berg er went to school at Rock Bluffs and worked in the saw mill after having arrived at the age of 14 years. He recalls his first school teacher, Mr. H.

CREATES REAL EXCITEMENT From Wednesday's DailF The golf tounament has proven one of the most successful events held in the city in many years as far as real interest Is concerned and not since the sessions of the grand jury has there been so much stir over any one thing as these battles on the links have occasioned. In almost any of the business houses the "bugs" may be found comparing scores and explaining how they overshot the green, got into the ditch, drove the ball into the cornfield near the course or some other season that per mitted their opponent to run away with the game. There was not a moment of the day yesterday from 5 o'clock in the morning until deep dusk that the golf course was not lively with the participants in the first round of the tournament ana tne course was equally as interesting today as the players in the second round were out to play their matches and the con solation matches were being played by the losers of the opening round FATE ATTENDANCE GOOD DESPITE BAIN Lincoln, Sept. 1. Despite a rain which caused muddy, slippery roads there was a good attendance at the opening day of the Nebraska state fair. Fully SO per cent of the visitors were farmers, according to George Jackson, Jselson, president. The exhibits are all good, particu larly the agricultural exhibit which was criticized last year. This year the fair management has insisted that the agriculture exhibit eclipses ions from visitors to this exhibit the management was successful. Much complaint was heard from country people who drove into Lincoln by motor car because of the condition of the roads. The D. L. D. between Omaha and Lincoln, particu larly that part of the highway direct ly east of the Platte river in Sarpy county, received more unfavorable comment than any other road leading into Lincoln. Many members of the legislature here to attend the fair, who are can didates for re-election, asserted that if returned to legislature this win ter they will insist upon a Douglas Sarpy county annexation bill. They stated that at the last session Sarpy county promised faithfully to main tain the roads in the county if the annexation bill were killed. This, they assert has not been done. BETUBNS FB0M CALIFORNIA From Tuesday's Daily A. S. Will, of Los Angeles, Califor nia, arrived nere trom his home In the west Saturday afternoon, bring ing with him his daughter, Mrs. Wade Windham and children of Lincoln, who have been spending the past three months in the west and enjoying the delights of th- coast country.
