church in their usual pleasant man
ner. While the banquet was in prog
ress, the members of the party joined
in singing a group of the well known
songs, Mrs. E. H. Wescott leading
the singing and with E. H. "Wescott
at the piano.
During the banquet the party were
entertained by a very beautiful piano
duet by Mrs. J. A. Capwell and Mrs.
V. A. Robertson, both former stu
dents of the Nebraska University.
Brief remark? were made by C C.
Wescott and Searl S. Davis, both
alumni of the university and cover
ing a number of their university ex
periences in the past.
The speaker of the evening was
Roy IT. Cochran, associate professor
of American history" at the univer
sity, a former graduate of Nebraska
and who has for the past twelve
years been a member of the faculty
of the great school.
In his remarks the speaker told
of the organization of the university
bv the art of the legislature of 1869
and the first foundation of the state
university in 1871
One interesting :
fact brought out was that the state
university is the only on that has
100 per cent of the first class of the
school graduating class, Judge Snell
of Tacoma Washington, and J.
Stuart Dales of Lincoln, being the
first graduating class of the univer
sity and both living at this time.
The university embraces ten col
leges and six schools in the univer
sity organization and this year there
were 13.000 registered at the uni
versity, representing not only every
section of the state but many other
states having membership in the
student body.
There are 109 students from Cass
county now at the state university.
The speaker pointed out that the
great memorial stadium was built by
the efforts of the alumni and the
public and that it was maintained by
the football "activities and which also
maintained the. entire athletic pro
gram of the state university with the
exception of basketball that was self
supporting. This was pointed out as
many had the impression that the
great memorial stadium had been
built by the state which was not
true.
The annual election of the officers
was held last evening and John E.
Turner was again elected as presi
dent and Miss Jessie M. Robertson
as secretary-treasurer of the alumni
association.
Letters of regret were received
from Dr. and Mrs. G. H. Gilmore and
O. A. Davis of Murray, Mr. and Mrs.
Carl Ganz of Alvo and Mrs. Margaret
Foreman of Alvo.

St Luke's Has
Very Delightful
Parislf Dinner
Some Fifty of the Members Are
Present to Enjoy Dinner and
Address on the Church.
From Thursday's Dally
Last evening the parish dinner of
the St. Luke's Episcopal church was
held at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Heny Herold on North 4th street
and quite largely attended by the
members, there being some fifty of
the men and women of the church
in attendance at the event.
The tables werf very attractively
arranged with the decorations of
yellow and blue with the center
pieces of flowers and fruit to add to
the beauty of the occasion.
The dinner was most delicious and
one that was prepared in the usual
artistic manner by the church ladies
and which was a rare treat to all of
the members of the dinner party.
The dinner was presided over by
Father Stanley Jones of St. Martin's
church of South Omaha, who is
filling the charge at this city in addi
tion to his own church work.
Following the dinner the members
of the-party were invited to the
home of Mr. and Mrs. L. L. Turpin
where they were given the pleasure
of a fine address on the church of
England, given by Father J. H. Lever
of the Holy Trinity church of Lin
coln. This address covered the earliest
history of the church and was illus
trated with slides showing the de
velopment of the church from the
past to the present day and also the
church in Nebraska. The address was
one that was most inspiring and
covered the points of the church
origin and making clear the fact that
the church was not founded by the
English monarch, Kenry VIII, but
was the direct descent of earliest
Christian church.
The address of Father Lever was
much enjoyed and the interest was
shown in the close attention that the
members of the dinner party gave to
the speaker.

time and has required a great deal
of care to prevent wandering away
from the farm as he had desired to
return to the former home in this
city from which he was taken to the
farm for better care and where he
could be given the proper attention
The aged man was thought to be
harmless and was given sleeping
quarters with other residents of the
farm in the dormatories located on
the second floor of the building.
Last night shortly after midnight

to get the window raised and un
hooking the screen that covered the
window he started to crawl out and

MANY ENJOY BOX STJPPEE
From Thursday's Dally
T ict nfeniner tim n fi f t n l rr tl' l
of the local area of the Fraternal
Order of Eagles enjoyed a visit at
the North Omaha lodge that provided
the visitors with a real program of
entertainment and pleasure for a
period of several hours. The event
was in the nature of a box supper
and program that was arranged for
the benefit of the new auxiliary of
the North Omaha Eagles and which
proved one of the most successful en
tertainments that the order has held
for a great many months.
The Plattsmouth visitors made

Projects for
City and Farm to
Deliberate On
The Establishment of Cheese Fac
tory, Creamery and Develop
ment of Dairy Interests.
The agricultural committee of the
chamber of commerce is taking up
the problems that, vitally effect the
community, both town and rural, as
to the increasing of the standard of
the output of the stock and dairy
products of the farm and finding in
the towns an outlet for the products
of the farms in the territory adjacent
to this city.
One of the propositions on which
the committee is working is that of
the establishment of a cheese factory
that would be able to handle the out
put of the farms in the way of cream
and milk and make a most profitable
industry that could furnish employ
ment and also give the farms an
easy outlet for their dairy products.
The committee is devoting some
time to this phase of the year's pro
gram and it is hoped will have some
thing definite in the near future on
this important part of the commun
ity work.
Another of the plans of the year
is that of securing the. formation of
calf clubs in the immediate vicinity
of this city where the young people
can try their skill in stock raising
and give the inspiration to better
stock in the dairy cattle of the coun
ty. A number of the calf clubs have
been established over the county and
these have been unusually success
ful and resulted in the young men of
the county in developing a very high
standard of efficiency in the line of
stock raising. At a number of the
interstate shows held in Kansas City
and Chicago, Cass county teams and
calf clubs have carried away the hon
ors and in the state contests the
work of the Cass county clubs has
been marked.
One of the great measures of the
success of these clubs in addition to
the keen interest that the energetic
young farmers of the county have
taken, is the splendid work of Coun
ty Agent L. R. Snipes, who is on
the job day and night to look after
the advancement of the agricultural
interests of the county and who Is
assisting the local chamber of com
merce in their calf club program.

a trip up to Omaha to return the
visit that the second string purple
warriors made here two weeks ago
and as the result the Omaha Central

The victory was cinched in the
opening section of the game as the
score at the half period was 20 to 2
for the Omaha reserves.
In the second half the Boy Scouts
rallied and outplayed the Omaha
team but with the great lead that
had been secured in the first part of
the game, it was impossible to get
anywhere.
Bob Hartford was the high point
man for the Scouts with seven points
while Eugene Bushnell and Merle
McCrary each were able to secure
four points for their team.
The game was a good workout for
the boys, however, and gave them
the experience of playing on a
strange floor that they will find
valuable in the future when they
continue their basketball training.
