Farmers Have Oyster Supper
The members of the Farmers union
of Murdock and vicinity met at their
hall in Murdock last Monday, where
they had a very elaborate feed in
the shape of any oyster supper, sup
plimeated with all the good things
to eat which one's most fastidious
appetite might crave.
Members of the union invited as
their guests numerous friends and a
large number were in attendance.
A program was prepared which en
livened the hour and made it the
more enjoyable. No one can say the
members of the Farmers Co-Opera-tive
union are not live wires, or do
not know the knack of entertaining
their friends in the best of manner.

Telephone Directors Meet
On account of the law compelling
an elaborate system of bookkeeping,
which all telephone companies have
to install, and the resulting addition
al expense for help, it was decided
at a meeting of the board of direc
tors of the Murdock Telephone com
pany to increase the rate from a dol
lar per month to a dollar fifty, which
is the price .that will be charged
in the future. But as the law re
quires the more expensive manner of
conducting the business, there Is no
getting around the advance, how
ever much the directors might wish
to do so.
Miss Jeanne Bornemeier Arrives
There is joy at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Martin Bornemeier on ac
count of the arrival at their home
of the dearest little baby girl which
could possibly be imagined. The
fond parents were ovct Joyed at her
arrival and have christened the lit
tle one Miss Jeanne. Nor has the
joy stopped with the parents but has
radiated, to the homes of the grand
parents as well -as Aunt Selma, be
ing evidenced by large glows of hap
piness. The event is indeed a most
pleasing one to all concerned.
Will Farm in Kansas
A few days ago, Emil RIkli load

has a large tract of excellent land,
and where he goes to look after the
sowing of a large acreage to spring
wheat. He will be away from Mur
dock for some time while he is busy
getting the crop In.
Making an Elegant New Home
The new home of Mr. and Mrs.
Henry A. Tool, which is now near
ing completion, is one of the nicest
places in this part of the country.
The house is constructed of brick and
furnished with all modern and up-
to-date conveniences, two stories in
height, standing over a full sized
basement.
The home will be heated by one
of the latest style furnaces. which
was installed by H. A. Hilliar and
Frank Buzzell, of Lincoln, while the
carpenter work was done by A. L.
Depner and Frank Melvin. The fin
ishing work, which is also an ex
quisite job, was in charge of Max
Dusterhoff and his coterie of experi
enced workmen.
The first floor, as we viewed it
Friday morning, looked like a most
elegant place, with its spacious liv
ing room and dining room, finished
in mahogany; its kitchen, containing
built-in conveniences and its sun
room, making the first floor com
plete. The upstairs is devoted to
a sleeping chamber for the folks;
one for the girls, adjoining which Is
a sun parlor, all on the north side,
while on the south is the boys bed
room and a guest chamber.
The home is well arranged from
the standpoint of convenience and
the decorating is in harmony with
the furnishings.'
Ladies Enjoy the Afternoon
The ladies of the Royal Neighbors
of America enjoyed a meeting of the
Kensington club at the home of Mrs.
Frank Buel, where they had a meet
ing last Thursday afternoon. The af
fair was made doubly interesting by
the presentation of a delightful pro
gram which was followed by a ses
sion of pleasaat social conversation,
and concluded with a most delicious
luncheon served by Mrs. Buel In her
usual charming manner.
The ladies all declare Mrs. Buel a
most charming hostess and look for
ward to the time when they shall
meet again at her hospitable home.

Give Farewell to Neighbor
The members of the Modern Wood
men, of Murdock and surrounding
community, met at their hall last
Tuesday, where they had a most so
ciable time with their wives and
families and good cheer and best
wishes were the predominating fea
tures of the occasion.
Numerous addresses were made in
which the speakers extended to Bro.
S. M. Cox and his good wife the well
wishes of all the members for their
future, which will be spent in the
west.
Mr. and Mrs. Cox disposed of
their farm but a short time ago and
will soon depart for Oregon City,
Oregon, where they expect to make
their home in the future.
The members had prepared an ex
cellent oyster supper for the occas
ion and it is a fact beyond peradven
ture of a doubt that all enjoyed
themselves. Mr.- and Mrs. Cox were
highly pleased with the expressions
of friendship manifested on the oc
casion and cherish the friendly feel
ings which prompted the greeting.
