Some farmers keep five males to

and a gross waste of feed. Hens will

separate until about mating time. A
male to every 30 hens is quite sufii-

there had been talk Of lynching at South

For three days Gibbons has been an in

sanitarium and Gibbons insisted on accom-

some business affairs. The sanltarium
physician protested, but IL was finally
agreed to allow an attendant to accompany
Gibbons and his wife. Gibbons attended to
some business matters at his office, and re-
quested the attendant to wait at a nearby

Track Meet
Was a Success

Local Managers Handled the Affair
With Satisfaction to All

Much satisfactoE g expressed by those
who pulled off the state track meet sat
urday at the Omaha Driving park, not only
because of the records that were smashed
but because OF the smoothness with which
the events were run off. There was not
a hitch at any time and, except for the
rain, which began to fall at the close OF
the meet, more ideal conditions could not
have been wished for.
When 1t is taken into consideration that
little time was allowed 20 prepare for the
meet, much credit must be given those
who managed tho affair, especially Coach
Carnes OF the high school.
About 100 athletes competed for honors
in the races and on the field, and although
the entry list was not as large as expected,
many teams which would have entered
broke training when it was announced
from Lincoln that the meet mad been called
off as far as that city was concerned.
Although many of the schools that were
represented did not win u point, their
representatives should be credited for max
ing valiant efforts to do so.
The schools that competed were: Omaha
High, York High, York academy, Kearney
Military academy, Franklin academy, South
Omaha High, Dawson High, Falls City
High, Tecumseh High. Wahoo High, Hast
ngs High, Fairbury High, Crete High,
Minden High, Plymouth High and Sutton
