From Tuesday's rRTT By ROBERT COOK The bubble burst yesterday after noon, and the Lincoln Fords elim inated Timm's Tavern from the state softball tournament by a margin of 4-0 as Harvey Kaufmann hurled a perfect no-hit, no-run game. Kauf mann struck out thirteen including the first seven batters to face him. Lincoln, who routed the great Lyle Whiteing from the box Saturday night were able to touch Earl Ward for only three infield hits including a scratch bunt and but one earned run. Timm's played good afield but the lack of batting punch spelled their doom. Wad whiffed one. Lincoln scored in the third inning. Heilman walked, and Cole was safe when Spidell muffed his bunt. Weaver sacrificed both runners down, and Heilman scored when Petet dropped Peterson's line smash. Spadt walked, and Cole came in following Vosta's fly to left. Fords tallied again in the fourth. Wheeler walked, and Kaufmann's pop bunt dropped behind Ward for a hit. Wheeler moved to third on Heil maji's high fly to Hula and home on Cole's lift to Petet. Timm threw Weaver's roller away, Kaufmann scoring. Timm's went farther than expected and played double A ball all the way.

James E. Gruber and wife were looking after business matters in riattsmouth Saturday evening, doing some shopping with the Plattsmouth stores and also meeting many friends cn the streets at the county seat. Business called M. G. Churchill to Plattsmouth last Saturday. Clarke Churchill Jarvis, son of Mrs. John Frans and grandson of M. G. Churchill, has completed the tenth grade course offered by the Murray schools and on Monday of this week enrolled in Plattsmouth high school as a member of the eleventh grade or Junior class of that institution of learning. Mrs. E. C. Britton and little daugh ter, returned to their home in Om aha'a few days ago, after a pleasant visit of two weeks at the home of Mrs. Britton's mother, Mrs. E. DeLes Dernier. A number of Murray folks were in Lincoln Sunday to attend the Vet erans' day program at the state fair. They found a larger crowd there than at any time in the last decade. The National Defense theme was prevalent in many of the activities at this year's fair. Messrs.' George Lopp and Frank Schlichtemeier were in Plattsmouth last Saturday, attending the commun ity sale at the sales pavilion on Chi cago avenue. Mr. and Mrs. Lester Wunderlich and Mrs. Wundertich's mother, Mrs. Alice Creamer, arrived home last Friday from a two weeks' tour of the east, during which they saw many interesting sights. They are well pleased with their fine vacation. Mr. and Mrs. W. O. Troop and their son, George Troop and wife, were at Syracuse last Friday, where they attended the closing day of the Otoe county fair. They found the crowds very large and some excep tionally fine floats in the parade one of them a float entered by the W. C. T." U. It was the talk of every one that this year's fair has been out standing. Report on Crop Conditions The Missouri Pacific railroad, in line with its custom of other years, has compiled a report on crop con ditions all along its lines, extending from the tobacco and cotton country of the south to the small grain and corn raising country up this way. From this report we note that the corn is good as far north as Norton, but from there north as far as Falls City, there has been a lack of mois ture and the corn is not so good. However, from Falls City on north, the crop is very good and promises for a fine yield the best in recent years. Visited Arbor Lodge Park J. E. Warner, father of Mrs. Ray Burton, and Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Clarke all of Norfolk were week-end visitors at the Burton home here, re turning home Monday in their car.

Attended State Fair Sunday Messrs and Mesdames Earl Merritt and Herman Richter made up a party that went to Lincoln Sunday to at tend the opening day of the Nebras ka state fair.

There were also sei'eral drill LOOK (JUHO'S HERE! 1 THOUGHT WOU WERE RETIRED, ADMIRAL OPPORTUNIKV WISHES VA TELL i i r DO 3 yr r r mm i i r t i VCj :? ; awe-inspiring trick riders and ropers. In other divisions of the gigan tic seven-day exposition, scores of improvements and new classes have been made or added. Of primary interest to 4-H Club exhibitors in Ak-Sar-Ben's world's largest baby beef show is the addition in the carlot di vision of a class of calves espe cially suited for 4-H feeding.

Schools Now Open The Murray echools opened Mon day with a full complement of teach ers on hand and a good enrollment. The teachers are Miss DuBois, Wal lace Nelson and Mrs. Esther Rhoden. The enrollment in former years has been running about SO pupils. Just how much it will go above that this year, we have not learned. Showed Excellent Training One of the features at the state fair this year was the singing of a mass chorus made up of different county organizations of this type. In the rendition of their numbers, the Cass county group was particularly effective, and there were people in the audience who were able to dis tinguish the individual voices of a number of the Cass county vocalists who participated in this feature. The Cass county chorus has been ably trained by Mrs. J. R. Reeder, of Plattsmouth and its members have the voice and the poise to make them outstanding singers. MEETS THE ADMIRAL!

New Tomato Varieties There is a lot of difference in to mato varieties according to Mrs. Nels Thoren of near Nehawka, who has cooperated with the extension service in testing some of the newer varieties during the summer. To date a Bounty selection known as No. 10 has made the best yield. The yield of 20 plants of this variety recorded to date is 286 lbs. The same number of plants of the Pritchard variety which is one of the older standard varieties commonly used was only 179 pounds. Some of the varieties are so new that they have not as yet been named and are known only by numbers. Yields of other varieties in the test on the Thoren farm are: No. 8, 260 lbs .: No. 9, another Bounty selec tion, 246 lbs.; All Red, 233 lbs.; Ruby, 230 lbs.; Firesteel, 224 lbs.; Earliana, 210 lbs.; No. 5, 206 lbs.; No. 6, 196 lbs.; and No. 7, 155 lbs. Twenty plants of each of the 12 varieties were planted side by side the same day and under the same conditions, in order that a fair com parison might be made. Although the yields on the whole were excep tionally good, even higher yields would have been possible if the weather conditions during the past month would have been more favor able. Trees in Cass County Visits to several Cass county tree plantings the past week have been reported by Ernest Thalmann who represents the extension forester's office of the College of Agriculture. He urges farmers to get the weeds away from their trees at their earliest convenience. Weeds sap the ground of much moisture and thus hinder the trees maximum growth. On the Parr Young farm north of Nehawka, thousands of trees have been planted in the last ten years. Many fine windbreaks give much needed protection and shade to the livestock. New groves of trees are set out each spring. A hundred fine 3 ft. pines were transplanted this spring from his garden nursery. All have survived and are growing fine. Lawrence Johnson south of Weep ing Water put out 600 trees this spring. He used most of them for gully control work on his farm. Trees are to hold the soil and keep it from eroding from creek banks. He reports a good survival. He has also a fine year old elm wind break that aver aged 15 ft. in height. On the John McKay farm south west of Weeping Water is a fine planting of Austrian pines. These pines were planted in 1933 and now they average 12 feet. McKay is just ly proud of his trees. He is nearly SO years old and plants 100 trees or more every year. More of the young er farmers ought to plant trees with such an unselfish attitude. Donald Wiles, one of the younger farmers, put out 900 trees this spring j and has a high survival. He plants his trees on the contour. Weeds are kept down at all times and no cattle are permitted among them. SCHOOL OPENS TODAY From Monday's Dally While the greater part of the city observed Labor day, the schools of the city opened as usual and the classes were organized and work started for the term. The largest enrollment in the high school anti cipated of over 400. The senior class also will be well over a new record this year. Both in the high school and the lower grades the increase is expect ed to be the heaviest. The registration of new students will probably take two or three days for the belated entries and as soon as completed will be announced.
