I rAilK NJtt ULU rvtfllUUM State-Wide Campaign Launched to Raise Money to Purcha the Cave Region. From Saturday' Dallr I The high school boys from the banks of the Nisha, over In our neighboring atate of Iowa, drove over yt-tterday afternoon from Sidney. Iowa,-to meet the local high school quintet with the result that the lowans were at the small end of the 20 to 7 score, j The game was not the speediest in the world and the Flatters were decidedly off In their shooting eye with but eight field goalu In the hun-' dreds of chances that they had against the Iowa lads, who were j lacking iu their defense and per mitted the blue and white warriors to force the ball Into their terrltoiy time and time again, only to fail in repeated attempts to place the; sphere in the basket for the needed j tcoring. l lie many tries lor iohow up shots were almost without excep tion loft altho the looaln battled Ktrongly beneath the basket of th-ir foe. The visitors were unable to form an Impreshlve offensive against the blue and white and in the first half the score wan 10 to 1 for the Plat ters. In the second half the visitors were fortunate in making three of their long shots good for baskets and add ed to their scores in these tries, while Wescott regained a part or his acc ustomed skill at basket shooting and rang up three Held goals and two free throws. The thief features of the game for the locals was the work of Ber nard Klluger at guard and Jack Hatt who Jumped center for the locals In his old time form and was also re rponnihle for three field goals in the opening half of the battle. The blue and white will enjoy a ret the coming week and the regular veaxnn will be opened on Friday, January Cth when the Platters go to Omaha to clash with North high, where they will meet the Vikings, a practically veteran organization. On Friday. January 13th Eddie Mickey and his Hock of Crelghton I'repsteru will arrive here to meet the blue and white on the local floor and smarting under two years suc cessive defeats the I'repsters will do their bet to retrive the lost honors. The C.'relghton game has always been THE game with the locals with 'tight scores practically every meeting, this year will probably be no exception to the rule and both teams will exert themselves to the utmost.

The event was celebrated at their home when their children and their fam ilies and other near relatives gath ered in the evening without any pre vious announcement and made the happy event in the nature of a sur prise party.

Here the ceremony was performed and i they have made their home within ! a few miles of that location since ! that time. They know the hardship? j of the early pioneer life in Nebras-! ka and can tell many interesting stories that have happened since Ne braska was young. Mr. Schomaker who was born in Germany, came to Nehawka. July 6. 1S71. He was' a younp man at that time and was about to be drafted into the German army, but since he had other ambitions than being a soldier, he had borrowed $50 from an older brother who came to this vi cinity a few years previous and he came to the United States and direct to Nehawka as fast as it was pos sible to do at that time. Arriving here $50 in debt but with rlenty of ambition he went to work for an unele and after a year with him. he started to work for his father-in-law and also ran a threshing machine for a few years during the summer. In those days he received from $1 to ?20 a month as a farm hand, after he was here four years he went to farming for himself. Mr. Schomaker bought his first 80 acres of land from his father-in-law for 11.000. Yes, he had to borrow the money, but he was not a rolling stone." and in time it was paid for. It was a part of the home farm where his son, Fred, and fam ily now make their home. As times grew better he bought more real es tate and before he retired from ac tive farming he had a good improv ed farm for each of his children to occupy. He and his wife remained on their farm for 43 years and mov ed to town reven years ago last fall. Forty-three years Is a long time to live at one place, but the time spent there was full of happiness and dur ing that time they helped to make the community what it is today. Mrs. Schomaker who U 66 years of age and ten years younger than her husband, was born on the farm now owned by H. P. Sturm. Inci dentally she h?s never lived by a few miles from the place of her birth. Those who were present to help thes respected citizens celebrate their golden wedding were their daughters. Mrs. Leo Switzcr and Mrs. Henry Thiele and families, their son, Fred, and family of Avoea and Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Wunderlich of Ne hawka. Nehawka Enterprise.
