small airplane, m a stork sailed over

was that its destination was to a
home in this vicinity and in fact the
same rumor had it that he was mak

ness'.,', ,

Have Organized Township.
The Federated Farm Bureau held a
meeting at Manley last Tuesday eve
ning when addresses were made from
some representatives from Iowa and
the precinct was organized in order
to more effectively care for the in
terests of the farmers in all ways.
The officers chosen for this precinct
were Harrison J. Livingston as the
president, and Herman Kauth as the
secretary. A legislative committee
consisting of Charles Gerlich, C. M.
Andrus and John Kauth were ap
pointed to look after such bills as
might he detrimental to the farm
ing community if enacted into law
and defeat them.
A Petition Circulated.
The people of this community have
circulated a petition which has re
ceived the signatures of most of the
people in this vicinity, asking that
the telegraph service be restored to
Manley as the taking away of it has
worked to the detriment of the com
munity here, and lias been a great
inconvenience to the people. This
petition will be given to .Mr. W. 11:
Frost, who will meet with the rail
way commission asking them to take
action that would relieve the situa
tion. Visited in Omaha.

to Omaha last Friday, and on t heir
return came to Murdock in the eve
ning and were met by Elbert with

Manley School Facilities.
Many of the people of Manley and
vicinity are now beginning to won
der where the profit comes in when
they have to send their children to
gome other town to enjoy the school
facilities which a consolidated school
in Manley would furnish them. The
cost is more where they are sent
away and the accommodations are
far inferior, as there is incident to
making the trip on the train every
day, much chance of danger and also
the association is not the best for
the student. The question is being
agitated of having the matter brought
to a vote as to whether Manley shall
have a better schol building with
more grades and in fact cf giving
the student a fair show.
FOUND GUILTY OF
CHILD DESERTION
Jury at Nebraska City Decides Case
Against Elmo Preston After
a Short Deliberation.
Elmo Preston, charged with wife
and child desertion, in an informa
tion brought by County Attorney
Heinke of Otoe county, at the in
stance of his wife, Mrs. Mae Gaskell
Preston, was found guilty on the
charge of child desertion by a jury
in the district court at Xebraska
City Thursday afternoon, says the
Xebraska City Press. The jury de
liberated for two hours before re
turning its verdict, the case being
tried before Judge Begley of this
city.
Preston was brought back to Ne
braska City from Imperial last De
cember, arraigned , in the coifnty
court, given a preliminary hearing
and bound over to the district court.
The complaint of wife abandon
ment was dismissed by Judge Begley
at the opening of the trial Wednes
day morning after the defendant
made the claim that if there was
wife abandonment it had occurred
in Buffalo county, former home of
the parties. The court accepted this
vjew. and admonished the jury to
restrict, its findings to whether or
not.jtUere had been abandonment of
the' chjld.
Evidence brought out the fact that
Mr,. and Mrs. Preston had quarrelled
in October. The difficulty grew out
of the purchase of a rug by the wife
while Preston was on a hunting
trip. Upon his return he demanded
that the rug be returned. His wife
refused and twenty-four hours later
he took the rug out of the house.
When he returned to his home in
the evening Mrs. Preston was gone.
It was brought out later that she
had returned to the home of her
mother in Xebraska City. That was
in October, 1919 and in March, 1920,
a baby was born. Preston, testimony
shows, came to Xebraska City at the j
birth of the child and then went tOj
Kearney and disposed of his homei
and household effects. None of the
proceeds of this sale was given to
his wife or used for the support of
his child. In due time the wife com-!
plained to the county attorney and

a warrant was issued for his arrest.
W. K. Holly, of this city, who was
Preston's partner in the automobile
business at Kearney and who was a
lodger at the Preston home during
his stay there, testified as to the
quarrel over the rug and what fol
lowed. He declared, that Mrs. Pres
ton was a splendid housekeeper and
that so far as he knew there had
never been any serious quarrel un
til on the day in question.
Miss Rillio Sehnittker, bookkeeper
for Mr. Preston, also lived with the
family and testified as to the quarrel.
She, too, stated that there had been
no serious domestic trouble prior to
that time.
The defendant's mother, who lives
in Weeping Water, said she had ad
vised .Mrs. Preston, when she visited
her a year ago, to go back to her
husband, but that the wife refused
to do so.
The jury went out at 4 o'clock and
within an hour sent word that it had
a question of law to put to the
court, whereupon Judge Begley call
ed the attorneys and the defendant
into the 'court room and the fore
man asked if, in case the defendant
were acquitted, he could still be re
quired to support the child. The
court explained that that was not for
tiie jury to decide and again sent
them to the jr.ryroom. An hour later
they brought in a verdict of "guilty."
The penalty is one year in t lie peni
tentiary or six months in the coun
ty jail, in the discretion of the
court.
RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT

the 124th Illinois infantry, during
Lumber Prices are Lower!
The farmer, laborer, manufacturer and retailer are
taking their loss. All must do this in the present re
adjustment process, and we have taken stock, and are
placing our. lumber prices back to where they formerly
were, even at a considerable loss. They are now at a
level where even the present low prices of grain will
justify their purchase for immediate building.
We furnish you better prices and service than you
could possibly hope to secure from out of town firms.
We buy from the mills the same as they. When you
buy out of town you pay for reloading together with
a high local freight rate, and you know what that means
over $50 per car. We can save you that, and you
don't have to purchase a lot more'than you need, either.
See us before buying..
And say, how about a hog house or a chicken
house? They will pay you big dividends. We have
plans, specifications and estimates of their cost.
We want your business on jhe basis of good ser
vice and money-saving prices. Unless we can give you
these, we don't want you to feel under any obligations
to buy of us.

Will You Do Your Best?
Sure, prices have come down, and another year
is here. Already Spring is knocking at our doors.
How about the coming season; are you going to
give nature an opportunity? The land has sustained
last year's crops, and like the horses and yourself, has
need of something to replace that which has been used
up, if it is to give maximum results this year.
The Litchfield manure spreader is solving the prob
lem of replenishing the elements needed for coming
crops and maintaining the value of your land.
Would you allow your family or your horses to
starve? Why then starve your land?
We have absolutely the best spreader that modern
science has yet devised. Allow us to give you a dem
onstration and see for yourself.

Effects of Constipation
Constipation causes a stoppage, of
the sewerage system of the body.
The poisonous refuse matter that
should be carried away is retained
in the system and often poisons the
blood and causes numerous disorders.
Xo one can afford to neglect his
bowels. A dose of Chamberlain's
Tablets will afford relief. Avoid dras
tic cathartics as they take too much
water out of the system and their
use is likely to be followed by chron
ic constipation.
