event being especially arranged for
me paying oi a special tribute to
the leaders in the development of
this important part of Nebraska
agricultural life.
The ladies of the Presbyterian
church who arranged and served the
supper in their usual delightful
manner, had carried out the poultry
show idea in the clever decorations
of the table in the form cf tiny
chicks as well ns in the delicious
chicken pie which was a feature of
the menu.
As the fine repast was disposed of
by the large group and the ban
queters had joined in a number of
the songs, Searl S. Davis, as the
toastmaster took over the work cf
the conduct of the program and
very cleverly introduced the various
speakers and visitors of the evening
and whose presence made it espec
ially notable. In his opening Mr.
Davis called the attention of the
supper party t othe fact that in the
three counties of Cass. Sarpy and
Saunders in the past year there ha3
been produced poultry valued at
$500,000 and the eggs and other
poultry products amounted to $G77,
000, showing the immense value to
this locality of the poultry devel
opment and upbuilding.
The Masonic quartet composed of
Frank A. Cloidt, Raymond C. Cook,
H. G. McClusky and R. W. Knorr,
gave three very beautiful numbers,
"Highway, Highway Home," "The
Bells of St. Mary's" and "Out of the
Dusk to You," in a manner that
held the closest attention of the
large audience.
Mr. Davis then had a number oZ
the guests present stood up and
greeted among these being T. H.
Pollock, chairman of the agricul
tural committee of the Chamber of
Commerce and instrumental in the
securing of the poultry show here,
Watson Howard of Greenwood, presi
dent of the poultry association, R. N.
Houser, Wahoo, secretary. J. W.
Reed, county agent at Papillion. D.
D. Wainscott, Weeping Water, Cass
county agent, S. Ray Smith. Weeping
Water, Leon Haney, Springfield,
Frank McCamley, Springfield, Fred
Norenberg, Ithica. Mr. Davis also
had B. A. McElwain, just recently
returned from California stood up
and greeted by the members of the
party.
Mr. Davis then introduced Prof.
E. E. Monshell of the agricultural
college of the University of Nebraska
who have a few remarks along the
line of the poultry industry, point
ing out the great value or this pro
duction for the people of the state,
how the methods of handling the
industry had developed in the past
years to one of the greatest in the
state, how the associations such as
the Tri-County association was striv
ing to bring to the farmers and
poultry raisers the best methods of
feeding, housing, caring for and
marketing their poultry to secure
the very best results.
George Poague, one of the visitors
at the show from College View, was
called upon for a vocal number and
responded with a very hapfy selec
tion that was much enjoyed.
The speaker of the evening, L. C.
Oberlies of Lincoln, one of the best
known men of the state, former
member of the state board of control
and now with the publicity depart
ment of the Lincoln Telephone Co.,
was a most happy choice for the
opening address of the winter sea
son and was at his best in his hum
orous handling of this very timely
topic, "Competition and Co-Opera
tion." In his own able manner Mr.
Oberlies illustrated by stories and
incidents, the too often feeling
of hatred and small methods
of competition waged by persons in
the same lines of trade or industry
and how instead of this competition
there should be co-operation among
the dwellers in a community, how
the men in the same lines of trade
could better join in a frank and gen
erous spirit of trade relations, striv
ing through courtesy, service and
friendly understanding to make
their own business successful and
not resorting to petty methods of
trying to -undermine the activities
of their neighbors and fellow trades
men. The improving conditions in
the large corporations between the
employer and employee was also
touched upon with several rery fine
illustrations by the able speaker.
The address was one of the great
est of merit and held the closest at
tention of everj'one until the close
and as in his previous addresses Mr.
Oberlies received a great ovation
for his wonderful straight from the
shoulder talk on a subject of the
greatest interest.
The invocation was by the Rev O.
G. Wichman of the St. Paul's church
and the benediction by the Rev. Sor
tor of the First Methodist church.

Mynard Club
Presents Very
Clever Play
"The Hoodooed Coon" as Given by
Comniuiiity Club Proves a Real
Evening of Fun
It started with a laugh
And ended with a roar;
And when it was all over
You wanted some more.
The foregoing can truly be said
of
the farce, "The Hoodooed Coon"
given at Mynard on Thursday and
Friday nights by the Mynard Com
munity club.
That it met with hearty approval
by the audience each night, was
evidenced by the heary laughter and
applause.
Gideon Blair (Royal Smith) ageu
93 and a multi-millionaire, was de
termined to marry his grandchild, i
Rosebud (Minnie Hike) to the son
(Ted Carey) of his old friend. If
either of the young people refused
to marry the other, the one refus
ing lost a million dollars.
Tom-(Ted Carey) who has never
seen Rosebud, mistakes an old maid
(Mrs. Barnard) for the heiress, and
hires Tutt (Homer Spangler) to im
personate himself, thinking that the
heiress will refuse to marry him.
RoseLud tries to persuade Tutt not
to marry her by feigning insanity,
but when she learns that Tutt is
merely masquerading as Tom, she
nearlv scares the life out of him.
The comedy scenes were furnished
by Misery Moon (Raymond Cook) a
hoodooed colored boy, always in
trouble; Lulu Pearl (Francis Liv
ingston) whose every mofe and
speech is rag-time; Paula Malcek
(Minnie Kreager) who is after Tutl
with a dynamite bomb; Samantha
(Mrs. Barnard) the funny old maid
and Patrick (Henry Lyons) the be
wildered ticket-seller.
Misery Moon was the star part
and his fights with a colored cook
(who does not appear in the play)
aDorded great merriment, as did his
great efforts to collect nine dollars
from the old multi-millionaire.
Song specialties were introduced
by Miss Francis Livingston and Miss
Minnie Hike.
Music furnished by the Cole or
chestra was heartily enjoyed and
proved to be a valued asset.
The play was directed by Mrs. C.
C. Barnard, who was assisted in the
stage settings by members of the
cast.
The proceeds of the play will be
used to finish the Community Hall
i . j c . . , ...,.;i
ulated for their untiring efforts tot
make the play a success and the com
munity
talent.
can proudly boast of its

year and one of th e outstanding
birds of the flock of E. E. Hansen of
Lincoln, who specializes in the white
wyandotte, of which Joe V is one
of the representatives.
Another of the outstanding ex
hibits is that of Frank Pierce of
Greenwood with his Buff Orphingtons
of the single comb variety, he hav
ing won the prize for the largest
showing at the 192S show at Ash
land, and this year one of the larg
est of the showings at the Platts
mouth exhibition is that of G. G.
Pelletz of Ceresco, who has 14 dark
and 22 light barred rocks here to
contend for the honors of the show.
In the showings the barred rocks
and buff orphingtons are the most
numerous, the barred rocks being
shown numbering 102 birds of both
the dark and light variety.
In speaking of the show, R. N.
Houser of Wahoo, the secretary, stat-
!ed that the members of the Tri-
County Poultry show were delighted
with the manner in which the asso
ciation had been received here and
the great interest and hospitality
that had been shown by the Platts
mouth people and in the show and
in the treatment of the visitors here
at the show. He was also very loud
in his praise of the fine place for the
holding of the show, the best that
the association has experienced so
far in their showings.
The show has in the pens an ar
ray of poultry that is a treat to be
hold whether or not you are a poul
try raiser and as the admission is
free and the management will have
I the show open evenings there is no
reason why everyone in the com
I munity should not be in attendance.
