The caravan was bound for the apple orchards of southeastern Ne braska which are now beautiful with the freshness of the blooms and the rich perfume of the blossoms that makes the trip truly one into a fairy land.

An unusually interesting play has been selected by the senior class, the mysterious, melodramatic farce, "Seven Keys to Baldpate." This play . . J . 1 .. . has been an audience favorite for twenty-five years as is attested by the fact that the royalty has never been lcs3 than $50 per night dur ing the period from 1914 up to this year. "Seven Keys to Baldpate" is excel lent entertainment. In order to guar antee that the play will lose noth ing in its local presentation sev eral improvements are being insti tuted in the handling of the cast and of the audience. A complete double cast lias been rehearsing lines for two weeks. This means that twenty-six seniors are getting dramatic training and ex perience. It also means that, should lone member be unable to perform, the other can play both nights with no inconvenience to anyone. The director, Milo W. Price, i3 requiring that the players must know all lines a week before the play is given. This is not a bluff; many of the cast knew all lines last week. Those who do not know their lines by the. end of this week will be dropped from the cast. Among those who already know their lines, some real dramatic talent is already being displayed. In order to make the play effec tive two upstairs rooms with hallway and stairs have been constructed on the high school stage. The setting is the lobby of a summer resort inn, during the winter season. The cast and director are particu larly desirous that the public under stand and approve some changes rel ative to the handling of the audience this year. The effect of. any play is partially spoiled by the disturbance of late arrivals; the effect of this type of carefully writteii mystery is almost destroyed by such distractions. In order to protect the excellence of the ; play and insure effective audience reception, no one will be allowed to enter the auditorium while the play is in progress. After the fifteen min - ute prologue the late comers will be Seated. Additional means of avoiding and- lence disturbance and of insuring or- derly handling1 of the play-goers will Include complete doorkeeper and ush er service, and reserve seats. The re served seats will go on sale, down town, a few days before the play. Anyone who is late for the Thurs day night performance may either wait for the next intermission in the play or exchange his ticket for a Fri day evening ticket. THRESHING MACHINE NOTICES Although the small grain harvest is weeks away, Cass county farmers are reminded this week that the Ne braska weed law makes it necessary to post notices on combines and, threshing machines concerning regu lations of cleaning machines after threshing. The law requires that approved no tices must be placed on the respec-'in tivc machines before they are put in to operation. This is done in an effort to decrease the spread of bind weed and other noxious weeds. Threshing machines, combines, wag ons, trucks and other equipment, ac cording to the law, must be cleaned immediately after completing the harvest of grain on farms infested with bindweed, puncture vine, leafy spurge, Canada thistle, or other nox ious weeds. T0 PLAY ELMWOOD The Plattsmouth Merchants base ball team are to play the Elmwood team here next Sunday afternoon, the management of the locals an nounces. The Elmwood team is one of the best in the west part of the county and should give the fans an opportunity of seeing the locals in action against some stiff competi tion. OMAHA PARTIES MARRIED Saturday evening at the home of Rev. and Mrs. J. C. Lowson was per formed the marriaerc ceremony for Vernon Herman Laskar and Ruth Jane Waldo, of Omaha.

The Flatters opened the scoring early in the game, massing three runs! In their half of the first inning. Ed Smith was safe at the initial sack on a bobble and was followed by Jimmie Jones, local catcher who rapped the pill for two bags and brought Smith home, Jones later scoring on the single of John Jacobs.

In the second stanza Pappio had two on with a walk and a pass but Sedlak whiffed Becker and Cordcs and Jones threw Lienemann out at first base. The Platters in their half of the inning secured one run in the three base smash of Sedlak and who was scored by Smith on his sharp hit to left.

Campaign for New Phones Under Way me .rigs are JJacK ie Pigs are Back" is Theme for Successor to "Bring Home the Bacon" Sales Push. I Employes of The Lincoln Tele phone and Telegraph Company, tru out the 22 counties in which the company operates, are engaging in la spring campaign to sell telephones, I Area Manager George Dobson of I l'lattsmouth, tells us. lhe corap pany's advertisement appears else where in this issue. The sales drive has been named "The Pies are Back" campaign, and it will continue thru out the month of May. This campaign is expected to prove an amusing sequel to last fall's "Bring Home the Bacon" sales cam paign. I he pig theme was stress ed at that time to indicate the close relationship which, the telephone company feels, exists between Ne braska pig production and Nebraska prosperity. As a spur to laggard areas, a pair of guinea pigs was "offered" as a "prize" to the mana ger whose area finished in last place. An indoor picnic was offered as a prize to the winning area. Stroms burg area won the picnic while the Hastings area "won" the guinea pigs. The guinea pig family showed a marked increase during the winter and now "The Pigs are Back" to feature again as a "prize" which will go to the tail-end manager in tne Present campaign. The entire cam na'Sn idea was so successful last fall that it will be repeated t this time with a picnic being again me prize offered to the winning area With pig production up in Ncbras- ka this spring, the theme remains 1 exceedingly timely, Area Manager George Dobson de clares that the employes of the com- bany in the Plattsmouth area are de- of his determination in this matter springs from the fact that they will become his personal property! Business has been better for the telephone company this spring, Area Manager Dobson states The com pany has made a net gain .of 341 telephones thruout its territory since January 1. Prospects for a nice gain during this campaign, therefore, seem very bright.
