GRAVELERS WIN GAME
While the rain Sunday made it im
possible to stage any of the baseball
games scheduled either in this city
or Murray, the Lyman-Richey team
at their grass diamond, at the sand
pits, were able to put on an exhibi
tion of the national pastime, having
as their opponents the LaPlatte
team. The exhibition was largely on
the part of the Gravelers, however,
as they took the victory from La
Platte by the score of 9 to 0. . For
the sand and gravel boys, Dick March
did the hurling and Chet Smith, the
receiving. The once familiar figure
of William Patrick O'Donnell, at
first base was also seen in the con
flict, the veteran making his first
appearance alter some years vaca
tion from the game at which he was
once one of the best.

Style Shop Has
Large Robbery
Loss of $2,000 in Garments Stolen
from Milady Style Shop at
Malvern, Iowa
For the second time in a two year
period the Milady Style Shop at Mal
vern, Iowa, was visited by robbers
on Friday and as the result, the own
er. Mrs. O. A. Strahan, is mourning
the loss of $2,000 worth of silk and
wash dresses that were taken.
The number of garments that were
stolen represents one hundred and
fifty silk dresses and seventy-five
wash dresses and the robbery w ras
evidently very boldly carried out as
the entrance to the building was
gained by the forcing of the front
door of the building, in an attempt to
gain entrance in the rear having
failed.
The night watchman of the town.
J. P. Frazier states thav he visited
the store on his last round at 4 a. m.
and that at that time there was ap
parently no signs of the robbers in
the vicinity of the store.
Sheriff DeMoes of Mills county
was called to the scene of the rob
bery as soon as it was discovered,
finding that the robbers in moving
out the stock of dresses had dropped
a number on the floor, indicating
that the robbers had moved In haste
in making their getaway.
The drones were taken from th
racks in the store as well as from
the display windows of the store.
So far there has been no trace
found of the parties that may have
arried out the robbery and as sev
eral hours evidently elapsed from the
robbery to the time that it was dis
covered, the robbers had ample time
to get into some larger city with
their loot.

Peach Preserves. Marmalade Recipes.
With indications that peaches will
be cheap this fall. Nebraska house
wives will probably either preserve
the fruit or make peach marmalade.
In making peach preserves use 5
pounds of peeled and quartered or
slices of firm peaches (clingstone pre
ferred and five peach kernels. For
this amount, make a sirup of 7 cups
of sugar and 6 cups of boiling wa
ter. Add the peach kernels to the
sirup, bring to the boiling point and
boil until sugar is dissolved. Cool
sirup. Add the peaches and cook
until the fruit is clear and transpar
ent when lifted from the sirup. Cool
in sirup to plump the fruit, pack in
to sterilized pint jars. If the sirup
is not heavy enough cook until it is
thick and pour boiling hot over the
peaches. Remove air bubbles. Par
tially seal the jars and process 30
minutes at simmering point (ISO de
grees F. ) Seal. Spices -may be add
ed during the cooking, if desired.
Tie spices in bag to avoid discolor
ing tlie product.
Peach Marmalade:
1 gallon peach halves
1 small can grated pineapple
2 large thick-skinned oranges
Sugar
Peel and quarter peaches and or
anges and add pineapple. Cut or
ange peeling into thin slices, cover
with water and boil 15 minutes. Pour
off water, add peeling to the other
fruits, and weigh. Allow 3-4 pound
of sugar to each pound of fruit and
cook until clear and a jelly test is
made. Pack in sterilized pint jars
and process 3d minutes at a simmer
ing point.
New Wheat Feeding
Experiments Started.
The new wheat feeding experi
ments have been started at the Agri
cultural College to determine further
facts about the value of feeding the
grain to cattle and sheep. The an
imals use in the test will be on ex
hibition at the annual Rooter's Day
held at the college in October.
Prof. R. R. Thalman of the anim
al husbandry department ts conduct
ing the test on cattle to determine
the relative feeding value of corn
and wheat when fed alone and in
mixture. Other tests conducted at
the college station, however, have
showed that corn and wheat are
practical ly equal in value as feed for
bogs and cattle.
Fifty head of Wyoming heifers are
to be used in the cattle test. There
are five lots. The first lot is to get
shelled corn as a check. Cattle in
the second lot are to receive two
thirds shelled corn and one-third
ground wheat, while those in the
third lot are to be fed one-third
shelled corn and two-thirds ground
wheat. The fourth lot will be fed
ground wheat alone and the fifth
lot whole wheat.
In the sheep feeding test which
Prof. Martin A. Alexander is conduct
ing three lots of blackfaced lambs
are being fed. One lot receives
ground shelled corn while another
gets ground wheat. The third lot
is receiving both the ground shelled
corn and the ground wheat from
self-feeders in a palatability test.
All lots are also being fed chopped
alfalfa hay. All lots are on sef
feeders. D. D. Wainscott, Cass Co.
