Residents of
the County Plan
Var on Hunters
Irresponsible Parties Driving Into
Country Side From Cities
Destroy Property.
A move is being started among
the residents of the country districts
west and south of this city to protect
themselves and property from the in
vasion of Irresponsible hunters, a
most worthy move and one that is
being made necessary by the acts of
the hunters.
The greatest trouble seems to be
frcm persons from Omaha who on
Sunday drive out in the country dis
tricts to wage a general warfare on
all game or the property of the farm'
ers if they fail to find any other tar
gets for their marksmanship.
The parties who commit these acts
do not seem to recognize the rights of
the land owners or farmers in the
least, invading the farms and shoot
ing recklessly over the places, en
dangering the live stock and persons
who may be in the vicinity of their
hunting activities.
The farmers are as a rule not
against the legitimate hunter who
may come and secure their permis
sion to hunt and then conduct them
selves as real sportsmen instead of
a bunch of bandits which is the usual
attitude of some of these persons who
have raided the Cass county farms.
A few days ago a party cf hunt
ers killed two shoats for one of the
farmers in the vicinity of Rock Bluffs
and another farm suffered the loss of
a number of chickens, shot by the
Omaha hunters.
It is proposed that a general asso
ciation of the farmers be formed that
will embrace those north and west
of Plattsmouth. east along the river
and west and south of Murray to the
Eight Mile Grove church, this terri
tory seeming to be the chief sufferer
from this outlaw hunting. The farm
ers will not permit any hunting on
the farms unless they, have given
written permission and the members
of the association will investigate
any and all of the hunting parties
they may find to learn whether or
not the banters have the necessary
perm isskm. -r"rrr-- V-- j
CALICO PARTY
Last evening a number of Meth
odist mothers and daughters held a
pleasant luncheon and program in
the dining room of the church from
6 to 8 o'clock. It was under the
charge of the Woman's Foreign Mis
sionary society who invited any
mother and daughter or anybody to
secure a daughter and participate. A
pleasing number were present des
pite the many other interests to take
time and attention.
The party commemorated the days
of 1869 when the society was first
organized in Boston, and two of the
founders said "Rather let us walk
the streets of Boston in calico dresses
than fail to send these two young
women to India." Those two young
women were Isabelle Waburn who
founded the great college now at
Luc b now, India for girls, and Dr.
Clara Swain, the trrst doctor to go
early in the days of organization. So
the dresses of print with little print
bags to match in which the offering
is to be brought each month were
initiated Into service and the pro
gram this year is to follow the
thought of "sacrifice and simplicity."
The newly elected officers present
were installed with appropriate
ritual by ex-president Mrs. P. L.
Barkus. as follows: President, Mrs.
Harry White; vice president. Miss
Emma DeHart; recording secretary.
Miss Margaret Mapes; Corresponding
secretary. Mrs. R. B. Hayes; treas
urer, Mrs. H. A. Light body, standard
bearer leaders. Mrs. E. H. Wescott
for senior girls, Mrs. E. G. Shellen
barger for junior girls; supervision
of ligbt bearers and king heralds,
Mrs. Hayes; publicity. Mrs. Barkus;
missionary education, Mrs. Win.
Howland.
The story of Standard Bearers was
given in word and song by all pres
ent. Miss Virginia Trively reading
the story, and Miss Helen Schuls
leading the songs interspersed.
A playlet. "Calico Mites" was
given by auxiliary members with the
help of three daughters. The first
scene where the idea of the calico
dresses and bags originated was in
the home of a mother. Mrs. Barkus
and her two daughters, which parts
were taken by Louise Rishel and
Margaret Lahoda and a girl Joining
in their plans being Frances Lillie.
Second scene was a meeting of the
society later in the year, when eight
members met and reported how they
had saved the money in the little
calico bag. The program closed with
singing of "God Be with You 'Til
We Meet Again." and announcement
of the next get-together to be held
in late winter called the "Mystery
Mother" luncheon. .

Sheriff Bert Reed today was very
much improved and the patient ap

time yet and on a diet until he is
well out of danger of a relapse.

PRESENT DEII0ITSTRATI0I7
From Thursday's Daily-
Wednesday afternoon at the high
school and last evening at the pub
lic - library auditorium, there was
presented a very interesting and
scientific lecture and cemonstration
of meat selection and preparation.
that was a real revelation to those
who attended.
At the high school in the after
noon. Prof. W. J. Loeffel, in charge
of meat work at the University of
Nebraska, gave his lecture on the
selection of meats, the preparation
of the various cuts for the greatest
advantage in economy and food.
Special stress was laid on the pre
paration of cuts of lamb to give the
use of practically all of the carcass.
The demonstration in the evening
at the public library, was attended
by many of the residents of the com
munity, who found a real treat await
ing them, in the practical demonstra
tion of meat cutting, given by Max 1
u. tuiien, wno was assisting troi.
Foeffel. The lecture of Prof. Loeffel
was covering the use of the meats
as a part of the diet of the family.
The demonstration of cutting so
that many excellent cuts of lamb
could be secured in addition to the
chops and leg cuts, was one of real
interest, showing that practically
all of the lamb carcass can be used
and that the cuts that are seldom
ijsed can be made into most appetiz
ing dishes for the meat ration of the
family.
This lecture and demonstration
was sponsored jointly by the Univer
sity of Nebraska, the National Live
Stock and Meat board and the local
meat dealers to bring to the residents
of the community a great deal of in
formation concerning the use of
lamb as food, which has been gen
erally overlooked in the past.
Those who attended felt amply re
paid for their time in the clear and
practical lecture given and the dem
onstration of Mr. Cullen in the cut
ting of the lamb.

The cast has been under the di

Walter Gabriel as "Bruce Ferguson."
clerk in the railroad office; Ed Wehr-
beln as "Artie" the office boy: Miss
Janet Vallery as "Imogene McCarty,"

office. As the play swings from the
railroad office to "Flagg Corners,"

interesting speciality in dancing
numbers was given by pupils of Miss

Farley was out in the country to
day looking over some gravel work

where the road joins No. 75 near
Oreapolia. This road was a part of
the detour used while No. 75 was
being paved, the gravel being placed
on the road at that time and is now
being replaced. In a number of the
sections of the roadway the gravel
has become very light and this is
being resurfaced to save the road,
the highway being a great conven
ience to the residents of the section
through which it passes. The part
of the road from the Oak Hill ceme
