PRAISES LOCAL PLAYER Nebraska City fans saw the best back Friday night the Pioneers have looked at all season, including the flashy Don James at Falls City. This boy Yelick,' a big, rugged, powerful kid shredded the Pioneer line early in the first and kept it that way throughout the contest. He runs hard, blocks crisply and is a work horse on defense. He's big enough for college ball. James has the edge in passing, although this edge may be the result of better receivers, but Yelick is the better in other departments of the game. Particularly blocking and defensive play. His extra weight gives him a wide edge into the line. Nebraska City News-Press.

Local Farm Suffers Loss of Many Turkeys !; Mr. Pr.d Mrs. V. W. Perry Have Be tween 300 and 400 Choice Eirds Silled During Storm. The sudden snow and sleet storm driven by a heavy wind took a great toll of the turkeys on the farms of Nebraska, one of the local farms be ing a very heavy loser in the storm effects. Mr. rnd Mrs. V. W. Perry at their farm south of this city have in the ipast summer raised a large flock of turkeys having in the neighborhood of 2.500 birds on the large range jat the farm. ; The sudden change in the tern perature late Sunday night and early Monday morning caught the birds wet and soon they were covered with ire that weighted them down and from the effects of which it is esti mated by the owners that they will lose somewhere between 300 and 400. The condition of the turkeys was discovered early Monday morning and a desperate attempt made to save as many as possible from their plight. Fifteen men from the neigh boring farms with three trucks were pressed into service to move the birds to the barns on the farm and iiiiiiiij were lanen lor care 10 me uur- ment of the farm home. Many of the turkeys weighed from fourteen to twenty pounds and would have been on the market in a few weeks. All effort is being carried on to save the ones that had not been beyond aid when removed and a constant watch is kept on the sur- viving birds sheltered In the barns to keep them from crowding and smothering. Several guineas werejearly morning of January 20, 19J. also killed by the effects of the freez ing. The birds were covered by insur ance and the loss will not be severe, but represents the loss of several months of care and work in rearing them. SPECIAL ARMISTICE SERMON Nearly a score of Legion mem-t bers attended the special Armistice service at the Methodist church Sun - dav morning when Rev. J. C. Low - son spoke on . Preceding Our Debt to Life." the sermon, Phyllis Bourck sang "I am an American." and the choir rendered a special number, "Praise the Lord, O Jeni - salem." Rev. Lowson said too many accept . . the blessings of our freedom withouti realizing the sacrifices that have been made to acquire it. "Many say we are a nation grown soft," he declared. Warning that the preservation ot our democracy couia"" uu w"'a""' not be achieved by squaring off into! groups, he urged national unity as between capital and labor, and the different religious and racial groups. "Back of all the privileges we en joy," he said, "we find crosses sym bolizing that men gave their lives to create those rights, which we must stand united to retain." In concluding the service the audi ence joined in singing "God America."
