To Make Study of Pheasants Habits of Birds to Be Investigated Over Period of Year They May Be Harmful.

' This survey will be carried on in Howard, Sherman and Valley coun ties. J. A. Kovanda, an instructor in the Ord schools, and a graduate student in the university, will be the local representative in charge of the survev He will be assisted bv eame n.yt!ulnl Prof. Myron H. Swenk will be in charge of the laboratory work. During two days of each month, t;irou?hout the year, the habits or the bird will be observed over a tmentv-four hour oeriod. At snecif- ied periods of each month several birds will be killed and sent to the university laboratories where an an alysis of the food eaten by the birds will be made. In thia way it is hoped to obtain definite information as to what food is taken by the birds in the various seasons of the year. Many protests have been made by ho farmcra that tho nhnacantc grp destructive, particularly in that they pull up corn sprouts and eat other erain. Defenders of the birds con- tend that they destroy insects and worms, and that the loss of grain is more than offset by that service, A study will also be made of the pheasants in relation with other game birds and domestic fowls. The renulta of this investigation will be made public from time to time Frank O'Connell said.

Platters Scalp the Pawnees in a Muddy Field Score of 12 to Boiled Up in Gruell ing Game in Mud at Pawnee City Friday Afternoon From Saturday's Dany In a field that was slippery and muddy at Pawnee City yesterday af ternoon, the Plattsmouth high school team swept victorious over the Paw nees and came home elated with the 12 to 0 victory that was hard earned tha in the playing conditions that marked the day. The first score of Plattsmouth came early in the first quarter when the blue and white mustering their strength, smashed the lines of the Pawnees for repeated gains and with the assaults bringing the ball into the Pawnee territory. Bob Fitch, acting captain slipped around the left end of the enemy to register the first score of the game and to give his team added confidence in the ultimate out come. The second and third quarters were scoreless for either side, both teams battling back and forth in the mud of the field without any marked gains, altho the Pawnee team showed increasing steadiness in theid de fensive playes. The last quarter saw the air at tack of the Pawnees opened up and they were able to make some ground gains by this form of attack in the slow field, but which form of playing was also the cause of their downfall. The Pawnees advancing with the pass as their chief power of offense were in mid-field and attempted r pass, which missed the destination in the hands of the young redman and instead found lodgment in the palm of Chet Wiles, Platter player and who having made several records in the field day sports proceeded 1c add to his record by a dash down the field for sixty yards and another touchdown. The locals organized s good defense for the fleet footed run ner and held open his line to the goal. Both tries for the extra pointi failed by narrow margins of success. The Platters will play on nci' , Friday with Peru Prep on the local j field and will clone their season on i Thursday, November 29th at Nebras ka City in the annual Thanksgiving game. In the games in the southeastern Nebraska high school conference the Platters have wone one, tied and lost one and have two more conference games to play that they should be able to annext. The Platters lost to Tecumseb, one of the outstanding school teams of the state, won from Pawnee City and tied with Auburn in a scorelesr game. Mynard People Raise Fluids for Road Graveling Some $800 Raised to Be Used in Con junction With County to Gravel Mynard Road from K. of T. From Friday's Daily With the real boosting spirit that has characterized their various en terprises, the residents in the vicin ity of Mynard have jointed hands and secured funds amounting to $800 which will be used in conjunc tion with the county in the exten sion of the road graveling program. The stretsh of road that will be graveled will extend from the pres ent K. of T. highway near the Jean corner west to the church at Mynard and taking the graveled highway on west through the town itself. The money was raised under the proposition of the county commis sioners to meet on a fifty-fifty basis any funds raised for graveling and which will be taken advantage of by the enterprising people of the My nard neighborhood to grab them selves a good all season highway that leads into one of the leading high ways of the nation, the King of Trails. Not only has the funds been raised for this work in and near Mynard, but the residents there have also been busy on a road program of grad ing and many days of work have been contributed by the residents in bettering the roads in that locality and shows the real 6tuff of which the Mynard people are made of when they undertake anything.
