Baseball Game Last Sunday
Last Sunday there was plenty of
amusement in Murray when the Mur
ray team pulled off a victory over an
other team from Nehawka, not the
regular team, and when tbe ump
called "Play ball," there was some
thing doing until the game was fin
ished. On their own grounds the
Murray team proved invincible and
made ho many runs that they had not
all been counted at the time we go
to press. The visitors also made a
number of runs which added glory
to their already enviable record and
by the way it is not known definitely
at this time how many they had
either. The only way it was known
that the home town team had won,
was that they had a half page more
counted runs that the visitors. Those
which were not counted and counted,
were not taken into consideration.
Over Half Century Here
Last Tuesday, which was May 15,
was the 56th anniversary of the ar
rival of he Wm. Lloyd family in
this county, they crossing the Mis
souri river on that date in 1867 and
from Plattsmouth went eight miles
southwest to the home of L. G. Todd,
and whose near neighbor was J. P.
Buck a few miles away, as neigh
bors were then widely separated.
The Lloyd family were accompan
ied by their six children, they being
Joseph, John W Stephen, Davis M.,
George I. and Jane, five sons and one
daughter. Miss Jane Lloyd became
Mrs. Jane Totten. who died a few
years ago. Mr. George I. Lloyd has
made his home near here ever since
and said to the Journal man that the
day last Tuesday was much like the
day they landed here, though a trifle
cooler. They came over land from
Peoria, following the close of the
war of the rebellion, Mr. George I.
Lloyd being then just seven years of
age. Mr. Lloyd tinks this Just about
as good a place to live in as the
country affords. '

lubricated ?
UST because there's plenty of oil in the reservoir and you use
up lots of oil, you can't be sure your motor is getting proper
lubrication. Bearings may be heating arid parts wearing out
at top speed.
The temperature of the pistons and the cylinder walls varies
from 400 to 900 F. Unless your motor oil is of the right grade, the normal
operating heat of the motor can destroy its lubricating efficiency.
Years of laboratory and practical service tests have proved the lubricating
efficiency of Polarine. It resists heat and always flows freely. Made in five
grades light, medium, heavy, special heavy and extra heavy but one
unsurpassed quality.
Consult the Polarine Chart for the grade best suited to your motor. Stand
ardize its use and your motor will run quietly a protective film guarding
every moving part against friction and wear.
Ask for Polarine by name and be sure you get what you ask for. Sold where
you see this sign.

DISABLED MEN'S
SALARIES INCREAS
ED BYOHE-THIRD
Hen Taught by the Government are
hi Position for Greater Earn
ing Capacity Now.
Mrs. Robert F.. Hayes was a pas
senger thi3 afternoon for Omaha, 'this
where she v.ill attend the P. E. O. will
state convention
this week.
Mrs. P. J. Flynu was a l assener
morning for Omaha where she
s;end the day visiting with,
being held there friends an dlooking after some mat
! ters of business.
Men taught by the Government
new earn one-third more than before
the war, although handicapped by
disability. This fact was brought
out in a recent survey made by the
Veterans' Bureau of district nine. !
Missouri, Kansas, Iowa and Ne-'
braska. .the four states comprising
District nine, have approximately'
seventy-five hundred men in train- (
ing. Two thousand have already ,
completed their training, eighty-five,
per cent of whom are now employed. !
The Government is training men
along professional lines as well as
the different trades, using their pre-t
war education whenever possible. ;
The great aid of Uncle Sam is to so
rehabilitate the disabled soldier that
he will Etand on an equal competitive
basis regardless of his disability. In
this way the farmer who can not put
in as many hours as his more fortu
nate neighbor competes with him by
his newly acquired knowledge of ex
pert farming. The laborer unfit for
manual labor is taught a trade. The
physician who can no longer stand
the calls upon -him day and night
becomes a specialist or a research
worker. The finer arts, such as mu
sic, journalism and commercial art.
are also taught. But these talents
must be so marked as to lead to fi
nancial independence before the ex
soldfer is allowed to take them up.
An interesting fact brought out by
the survey Ib that eighty per cent of
the men choose their own training.
Although the cost of training one
man averages SI, 300. 00, his earning
capacity is so increased that his
training practically pays for itself in
four years.
Other interesting statistics in the
report show that the average age of
the man taking training is twenty
eight years, the average pre-war
education is the completion of first
year High and tbe average length of
his training a year and a half. Twenty-six
per cent of the men re-educated
by the government work for them
selves. Ten per cent own their own
homes and thirty per cent own automobiles.
