Ladies Return
from Europe
Miss Marie Kaufmann With Mem
bers of Party Are Back Home
After European Tour
From Monday's Dally
This morning Miss Marie Kauf
mann with Mrs. Veronica Fornoff
and granddaughters, Aurelia and
Inga Reichstadt, arrived home after
a stay of several months in Europe
on a very pleasant sightseeing trip
through the principal countries of
the continent.
The party arrived back at Mon-
teal on the steamship Montclare, the
vessel on which Mayor and Mrs.
John P. Sattler sailed recently for
Germany, they finding the voyage on
the trip rather rough on the last
few days as they turned into the
north line of steamship travel, find
ing several small storms to m.ke
the travel uncomfortable and fog-gy
days to hide the sunshine on the
trip. The passengers on the Mont
clare had a real thrill however, as
they had a view of the R-100, Eng
lish air boat which came over the
passenger ship and was flying very
low so that the parties on the ship
were enabled to gain a good view of
the great air liner, one of the largest
in the world.
Miss Kaufznann had charge of a
party of the sightseers and accom
panied them on the trip to the old
world, visiting in France, Germany,
England and part of Italy as well
as in Switzerland. The visit to the
last country was especially interest
ing to Miss Kaufmann and the Reich
stadt girls, this being the land of
the birth of Miss Kaufmann and the
two girls having the opportunity of
visiting with their grandmother, Mrs.
Reichstadt at Olten.
The trip included visits at the
main cities in the countries where
they visited and allowing them to
wander among the scenes of his
toric interest and among the great
art centers of the old world.
While the trip was very pleasant
the members of the party felt that
the best of the trip was when the
Burlington train on which they were
traveling, arrived at the Missouri
river and they could glimpse Platts
mouth's hills on the west side of the
great stream and which spelled home.

Dairy Tour of
County Proves
a Real Success
Many Interesting Exhibitions of Suc
cessful Dairy Farms Shown
Over County Friday.
The Cass county D. T. I. A. held
their first annual tour, Friday, Aug
ust 15. Sixty-two people attended
the tour which started at the Wm.
Hoffman farm, three miles west of
Alvo. Mr. Hoffman told a very in
teresting story about the development
of his Holstein herd, which he and
his father started, . nine years ago.
They purchased five cows from the
Woodlawn Dairy and from these cows
his entire herd has devloped. Last
year, his herd averaged 368 lbs of
butterfat and there were six first-
calf heifers in the group.
The next stop was at the farm of
W. T. Fager, two miles west of Avoca.
Mr. Fager's boys and girls exhibited
their 4-H dairy calves that are en
tered at the state fair. Mr. Fager
told how most of his herd had de
veloped from two foundation cows.
I. L. Markland of Weeping Water
was the next stop. Mr. Markland ex
plained the use of his milk cooler.
sterilizer, bottle washer and milking
machine. Much interest waB shown
in the trench silo on the Markland
farm. Mr. Markland says his pro
duction did not drop this summer
when his pasture dried up because
he had plenty of silage, some of
which was 2 years old.
The basket dinner was served in
the W. F. Nolte grove near Mynard.
Drs. Hays and Francis, State Veterin
arians, gave a very interesting talk
on Infectious Abortion in Cattle. Dr.
Hays says, "90 or more of the abor
tions are from an infection and not
an accident, or due to some kinds of
feeds, as many people like to think."
'There is no drug, chemical or feed
known that will prevent or control
infectious abortion. The only con
trol known is in the methods of man
agement of the herd."
Other short talks were given by
E; C ' Scheidennelm,. dairy extension
specialist, Lincoln; F. R. Boynton,
the new manager of the Farmers Co
operative Creamery at Plattsmouth;

The next stop was at the Farmers
Co-Operative Creamery at Platts
mouth and from there to the Ed
Spangler farm home. Everyone en
joyed very much, seeing this wonder
ful home.
The last stop was at the Pollock
and Likewise farm, 1 miles east of
Murray. This is one of the best
Guernsey herds in the county. This
stop was at milking time and those
interested in a milking machine had
many questions to ask Mr. Pollock
and Mr. Likewise about their ma
chines. OWNS OIL GUSHER

LEGION HOLDS PICNIC
From Monday's Dally
The Cass county American Legion
posts held their annual picnic Sunday
at the Baker park south of Weeping
Water, where the Nehawka post was
host to the members of the visiting
posts of the county.
The attendance was small as many
were kept away by threats of rain,
the largest delegations being from
Nehawka and Plattsmouth, with rep
resentatives also present from Weep
ing Water and Louisville.
The park is a very pleasant spot
for a picnic of this kind, there being
a fine grassy field with an abundance
of shade trees and a running stream
of water fed by a spring, making it
ideal, and here for the afternoon the
members of the party and their fam
ilies enjoyed themselves to the ut
most. The land is owned by Mr.
Baker, father of two boys who were
in the service, and who has generous
ly offered use of the grounds at any
time. This being centrally located
for the entire county, there has been
some talk of holding nert year's pic
nic at the same place.
Another thing that served to cut
down the attendance yesterday was
the short length of time in which the
affair was arranged. With numerous
Legionnaires leaving for the state
convention next Sunday, however, it
was thought best by the arrange
ments committee to hold it yester
day. The early arrivals at the grounds
had come with well laden baskets and
a number of family picnic parties
were enjoyed and later followed by
the sports program which was under
the direction of County Commander
Eugene Nutzmann.'of Nehawka, and
in which the picnic party, especially
the children, had a real time.

EARLY MORNING FIRE ALARM
From Monday's Dally
The burning out of the motor in
the Frieidaire plant at the Taplett
Sweet Shop this morning caused a
dash of the fire department to the
scene, but on arrival the damage was
found to be confined to dense smoke
that filled the room of the sweet
shop.
The smoke was first noticed by the
D. O. Dwyer family, residing in the
apartment above the Sweet Shop and
they gave the alarm and aroused Mr.
Taplett and son, who were sleeping
in the rear of the building.
The main room of the lower floor
of the building was filled with the
dense smoke and Mr. Taplett and
son, searching were unable to locate
any fire until they reached the mo
tor of the Frigidaire in the basement
and which was found to be hot and
had burned out, also burning out the
fuse. The trouble caused a great
deal of inconvenience to Mr. Taplett,
as it made necessary the calling of
a repair man from Omaha and a de
lay of several hours in the operation
of the fountain in the Sweet Shop.
LUTHERANS WILL CONVENE
Columbus More than 200 repre
sentatives of the northern Nebraska
district of Missouri synod of the

Preparing to
Start Work on
Athletic Field
Beard of Education Ready for Call
for Removing Dirt When
Plans Arrive Here.
The board of education is now in
readiness to issue their call for bids
for the moving of dirt on the new
athletic park on Washington avenue,
formerly the tourist park, they await
ing only the estimate of Prof. M. I.
Evinger, of the state engineering col
lege who is making the estimates for
the work.
Prof. Evinger is making the plans
for the completed park but the board
is anxious to have the field ready for
football this fall and will push the
work as rapidly as possible, once the
plans and estimates are received here
and in the next two weeks they ex
pect to have the work started.
The members of the high school
who are expecting to respond to the
call of Coach Fred Rothert when the
first day of school arrives, are very
much interested in the plans for the
park and are anxiously awaiting the
time when they can start their games
on the new grounds. The shortness
of the time for the work to be com
pleted and the playing season will
not permit a perfect field this season
but it Mill be a great improvement
over the past years and eventually
will be a real football field and park
for the track sports.
