they battled manfully for the vic
tory, North High having experienced
defeat at the hands of Plattsmouth a
week ago and thirsting for revenge.
Long range goals seemed to be the
order of the evening and North col-
; lected eight of them while Platts
mouth annexed seven.
The first score was made when
Pederson, star of North, dropped one
through from the center of the floor.
Buttery opened the scoring for
Plattsmouth by a long shot from
center and electrified the spectators
a few moments later by repeating
the feat.
North gained the lead but was
again tied by the battling Blue and
wane ana at tne ciose or tne nrsi
half the Omahans led 15 to 14.
In the second half of the game.
North led easily up until the first of
the fourth quarter when the Platts
month machine started a drive that
gathered them in several goals, but
baskets by Pederson gave Omaha a
four point lead that they held at the
final whistle.
Pederson and Johnson were the
chief scorers for the Omaha team
while Buttery and Hartford were re-
Plattsmouth's points.

SAYS AN OHIO JUDGE
"It is common knowledge, as has
been well said and has been pointed
out before, that each eai ennsnmrr
and furnish gas service: these and
other items of actual out-of-pocket
expenditures are required of the com
pany as a public utility, even though
the customer consumes, and pays for
no gas whatsoever. Thus each con
sumer is a fixed and definite charge
upon the company, irrespective of the
consumption of gas, and from a finan
cial standpoint, as well as from an
abstract proposition of fairness, it
must be said that he should pay his
fair share of the actual cost which
the company incurs by keeping Itself
hn readiness to supply him with gas;
and this, regardless of the amount of
gas he may consume."

i COLONIAL TEA
HELD MONDAY
AT E. CHURCH
Social Woikers of Methodist Church
Give Enjoyable Event at Par
lors Yesterday Afternoon.
The visitor yesterday afternoon at
the Colonial tea given by the Social
Workers of the Methodist church,
had the opportunity of a glimpse in
to the distant past, of the real Co
lonial days, in the pretty and well
arranged pageant, "Grandmother's
: Dream," as well as in the general
Colonial atmosphere that the ladies
had arranged for the delightful
gathering.
I The parlors were most artistically
arranged with an abundance of the
national colors and flags as a tribute
to George Washington, while an old
fashioned fireplace had been arrang
ed, large rugs placed over the floor
and the soft glow of the candles add
ed a real "homey" touch to the
scene.
The general plan of entertaining
was under the direction of Mrs. W.
F. Huneke as chairman and her very
efficient committee, while the pag
eant was arranged and directed by
Mrs. E. H. Wescott.
The chief entertainment of the af
ternoon was the pageant, "Grand
mother's Dream." a story of leng ago
from early childhood to old age and
was very artistically given as the
various scenes were presented. The
story opened when grandmother,
portrayed by Mrs. Ed Roman, en
tered and seated herself before the
fireplace and after a moment of knit
ting dropped asleep and her dream
vision was carried out by other of
the ladies. Mrs. Allen J. Beeson gave
a very enjoyable reading, "Grand
ma's Patchwork Quilt," and in turn
little Miss Mary Catherine Wiles, as
the child of long ago, gave the reci
tation of a well selected story of Co
lonial child, her recitation being fol
lowed by a most charming minuet,
Helen Jane West and Melba Gahr
ett taking the leading parts and as
sisted by Isabel Marshall, Irene
Pfoutz, Marjorie Am and Jean
Hayes, very beautifully giving this
graceful old fashioned dance. Miss
Helene Perry then gave a dramatic
recitation, "Grandma's Courtship,"
which was carried out in pantomime
by Helen Beeson as the youth and
Mrs. Helen Heinrich as the maiden
and this pretty story was carried out
in the wedding scene and later the
pioneer home where the Colonial
wife and mother softly crooned her
babies to sleep and looked after the
household cares, adding to this real
istic picture, Mrs. Heinrich gave the
enn? "llnmo Rn-ppt T Inmp " Tlio
J f ceno was then unfolded of the min
ute man of the revolutionary days,
'played by Harry Whitp, as he pre
22 j pared to strike for liberty the blow
that was to release the nation from
the yoke of England. In this scene,
Mr. White used a gun which was or
iginally in the Revolutionary war
and a powder horn that dates back
some 300 years. The last scene of
all was one of beauty as the aged
lover, represented by T. W. Glenn,
advanred to the side of grandmother
and sweetly the two joined in sing-
Silver Threads Among the
The accompaniment for the pro
gram was given in a very artistic
manner by Mr. E. H. Wescott and
added very much to the beauty of
the offering.
The tea was poured by Mrs. Em
ma Pease and Mrs. A. J. Beeson and
the serving carried out by a num
ber of ladies in Colonial costudes.

Poultry Club
Mrs. Ray Norris, who has an ac
credited flock of White Plymouth
Rocks, has organized a Poultry club
of seven members. They all live in
her neighborhood southeast of Weep
ing Water. Mrs. Norris has started
her fourth year in accredited flock
project and will be a valuable leader
for the club.
Gas Engine School
The two schools held at Fred
Leutchens, Wabash, and Mr. Chris
Elgaards, Weeping Water, were at
tended by 16 men each. Five gas
engines were brought to each school
and every man learned to trim a gas
engine. Some of the gas engines
brought used too much gasoline, the
gas tank was found to be leaking
and from 15 to 20 holes were found
in them. Some of the troubles of a
gas engine are easily mended. At
each place the ladies assisted in get
ting the lunch ready. This made the
noon hour a success also.
What Price Do You Get For
Your Corn?
A part of the corn crop on almost
every farm is fed to hogs. By dis
posing of It as the major part of a
well balanced ration for hogs, some
men get 25 cents per bushel for it,
while others get as much as 70 cents
per bushel. Corn, if supplemented
with alfalfa, tankage, or some other
good protein food, will always bring
a fair price If fed to thrifty, healthy
hogs. But there are hogs and hogs.
The man who Is feeding good corn to
a mangy, wormy herd of shoats or to
a herd in which a considerable num
ber are runty, Js not selling his corn
to the highest bidder. He must be
contented with the lowest price. The
price which hogs will pay for corn
varies, of course, with the market
value of the nogs. If selling at seven
contt nnhtalthv hnn will nnt nav
much lor corn even when they must
1 1 1 . . A mw -
sen as low as seven cents. wnen
: the pork prices are v right, it Is the
I man with the even healthy bunch of
j hogs that gets a high price for his
I corn. When the pork prices are low
i it is the man with the thrifty, sleek
' shoats that still gets a fair price for
his corn. Prevent worms, bull nose
and other pig troubles to make your
corn bring more money.
Home Manaeement Meeting'

the second meeting of the home man
agement delegates. The meeting
starts at 10:00 o'clock sharp at the
Congregational church, Weeping
Water.
CHANGES IN FORD
GAR MAKE IT MORE
POPULAR THAN EVER
Local Dealer, George K. Petring, An
nounces Many New Advant
ages in Universal Car.
The recent price reduction, of
course, has made the Ford car more
attractive than ever and extended
the sales field, but the prospective
purchaser also will find that the
Ford arrives in 1925 a materially
improved automobile.
Aside from better appearance in
the bodies, mechanical improvements
effecting smoother motor operation
have been developed recently and in
corporated in the cars.
For one thing, new .and lighter
weight pistons have been adopted,
lessening vibration in the motor and
reducing gasoline consumption. The
new lightweight cast iron pistons
are now standard and the change in
design has reduced the weight of the
piston to about 1 pounds, or
slightly more than a quarter of a
pound less than the old pistons.
A change in the camshaft also has
been made which aids in reducing
vibration and adds to the quietness
of the motor.
Another improvement is the new
erankcase. It is stronger, larger in
proportion and the oil pan is suffi
ciently large to permit easy access to
tie rear main bearing, a feature
lacking in the crankcase formerly in
use.
All the changes have been made
within the last few months and are
now effective in all Ford produc
tions. This is in line with the com
pany's long established policy to in
corporate improvements as rapidly
as they are developed by the Ford
engineers so that car purchasers may
begin to benefit from them as quick
ly as possible.
BACK M'MULLEN
ROAD PROGRAM
Nebraska Good Koads Association
Favors Governor's Budget
Plan.
B. A. George, Chairman of the
legislative committee of the Nebraska
Good Roads association, issued the
following statement Friday:
"The Nebraska Good Roads asso
ciation is entirely in sympathy with
Governor McMullen's road program.
It believes that the program as out
lined by the governor in his budget
message is far greater progress than
has been made in the past and is as
advanced a program as Nebraska can
expect at this time.
"There is now available $4,500,000
federal aid money which will lapse
unless the present session of the
legislature makes provision to take
care of ft.
"The association is in accord with
the governor's budget in eliminating
all appropriation for roads by direct
levy. The only other source of rev
enue to meet federal aid is the two
cent gasoline tax. All of the revenue
derived from this tax will be neces
sary to meet this federal aid. The as
sociation is in favor of crediting all
the gasoline tax to the state aid road
fund to meet federal aid, this fund to
be distributed to the state highway
system in the various counties on the
same basis that the federal aid is
distributed among the various states.
"It is our understanding that Ne
braska can comply with the federal
aid act and still carry on the work
in all the counties simultaneously as
in the past; that the maintenance of
the state highway can be carried cn
through the co-operation of the coun
ty boards under the direction of the
department of public works when
they have the equipment and the or
ganization to do the work.
"During the past year county
boards have bid on over $1,000,000
worth of work, or about 30 per cent
of all the contracts let, and county
boards have been awarded about
thirteen per cent of all the contracts
let. This has a good influence in
keeping down prices on construction
work, under the proposed amend
ment, plans have beer, worked out
whereby county boards can continue
to bid on construction work as in the
past and still meet all the require
ments' of the federal aid law. Under
the proposed amendment, no project
for construction work will be under
taken by the department of public
works on any road except those that
have been asked for by resolution of
county boards. '
"The present location of the state
federal highways in each county was
made by the county board by resolu
tion. After the resolution had been
passed " the department of public
works had to givg its consent to the
location. ,
. "There is a wrong Impression ex
isting in the state regarding the
program of the Nebraska Good Roads
association. The association has never
considered the question of paving any
particular transcontinental highway
extending across the state. The as
sociation 4oes not favor any particu-

Over a period
of years
THE Ford car has remained the undisputed
leader for value in the motoring world.
There are certain fundamental reasons why
this is true. It is a car, properly designed and
staunchly constructed, having a motor which has
proved itself reliable, long-lived and economical.
It is adequately serviced by an organization reach
ing to every community and neighborhood.
These combine to give the Ford car the highest
resale value in proportion to list price.
And as production volume of the Ford has grown
the purchase price has been steadily reduced.

COUNCIL ADJ0UBNS MEETING
From Tuesday's Daily
The regular session of the city
council which was scheduled to take
place last evening was postponed by
the membership until Wednesday
evening, owkg to the fact that as
Washington's birthday fell on Sun
day this year the date for observance
was placed on Monday and made it
impossible to transact any business.
There are a large number of import
ant matters to come up which the
city legislators will act upon Wednes
day. SOME EARLY CHICKS
Prom Monday's Dally
'The record for early chicks in the
season of 1925 seems to have been
set by Mrs. Tim Wooster, who has a
large nock of chicks at her home in
the south part of the city. This
morning, as an observance of Wash
ington's birthday there arrived at the
Wooster home a fine flock of eighteen
little chicks that are all in fine shape
and as far as known are the first
hatching of chicks in this part of the
country.
ALCOHOL BEST
Washington. Feb. 21. The
best
anti-freeze liquid is alcohol.
A series of tests conducted-by en
gineers of the United States bureau
of standards establishes this fact.
These tests considered not only prac
ticability of the fluid, but economy.
For the latter m reason glycerine,
which hasn't the drawback of evap
orating as fast as alcohol, was placed
second because of its expense.
The other solutions investigated
were kerosene, calcium, chloride,
honey, glucose and several patented
antifreeze solutions.
Kerosene ' isn' recommended be
cause it has a tendency to cause
overheating.
Calcium chloride is highly corro
sive and may cause short circuits if
it ges on tho Ignition wires or spark
plugs. "
Honey and glucose arc unsatisfac
tory because a high percentage solu
tion is required to prevent freezing
and such solutions flow very slowly.
A warning is also given if wood al
cohol is to be used. Care must be
taken that it doesn't contain acid,
