Pioreer Passes Away
August Mann, who for more than
forty years has made his home near
Murdoch, passed away at the home
cf his son, William Mann, on last
Sunday at the advanced age of nine
ty years. Mr. Mann was born m
Germany on November 9. 1835, and
came to this country and to Cas
county in 1SS2. He and the wife
were aironsr those who by dint of
hard work and keeping everlastingly
at it. made it possible for the present
generation to enjoy the excellent
country which we have here now.
They resided on a farm a few miles
from Murdoch and came here before
the town was founded. The wife pre
ceded the husband in death but a
short time, passing away on Decem
ber 4. 1?2 4. The funeral was held
at the church north of Murdock, the
services being conducted by the Rev

Some forty of the young people of
Murdock and vicinity were at Louis-

for years endeavored to do their
former stunts, with disastrous re
sults. However, all enjoyed the oc-a.-,ion
very much and are ready for

on last Wednesday evening and was
listened to by a very interested and
attentive audience who greatly ap

Ycnng Man Very Sick
Bryan McDonald, who was strick
en with the flu several days since,
has been very ill at the home of his
parents for some time. On last Wed
nesday when the representative of
the Journal was in Murdock he was
suffering much from a very high fe
ver, which was very stubborn in its
treatment. Everything was being
done for the young man both as to
treatment and nursing, and the wish
of his host of friends is that he may
-oon be restored to his former good
health.
Hears Father Had Died
Herbert Firestine, the manager of
the Murdock Farmers elevator, re
ceived word last week o the very
serious illness of his father, John
Firestine. at Lashara, and soon af
terwards another message came an
nouncing the death of his father. He
left at once for Lashara to attend the
funeral and assist his mother in look
ing after business matters, etc. Dur
ing his absense, Henry Heinemann
is looking after the business at the
elevator.
The Spirit Should Move
Last week you most likely read
the appeal published in this section
of the Plattsmouth Journal in regard
to a little community spirit a few of
us would like to put across.
If you feel that you are a good citit
zen and would like to help, don't put
it off. The time to act is the present.
Your donation does not need to be
large. It will bear as much weight as
the next one it is the spirit that
ounts. Give just as your spirit
.vills.
No"w folks, you might be able to
Io juet aa well in some other town
along this line, but wouldn't you
rather see your efforts materialize
right here at home?

FRIENDS OF TJIE DOG
Christian Science Monitor: Some
where in Jthe state of Kan sa.s. vptit
of the Missouri river and Katsas
City, is the home of two sisters
who have for many years waged
a winning battle in the effort to aid
and comfort friendless and 6ufferiug
dogs. They are not wealthy women
who have found interest in a casual
j undertaking, but women who have
! been compelled to earn, by hard
work, the means devoted to this un
pretentious charity. They have not
courted fame, yet they seem in a
fair way of winning considerate re
cognition because of the eimp'e
methods they have followed in do
ing acts of kindness unostentatiously.
They have given where giving meant
TMEMJ
sacrifice, and have not withheld their
meager bounty while they inquired
as to the antecedents of the homeless
animals they have befriended.
There women are known among
their neighbors as "the Jacob sis
ters." One keeps the house and de
votes her time to the care of the
animals which come to them. The
other works as a bookkeeper in a
town a dozen miles from home, go
ing to and from business daily. In
the twenty years since they began
this undertaking they have not been
aided by outsiders but during that
time they have nursed and restored
hundreds of homelesss dogs, disowned
by those who should have cared for
them, and have fed and sheltered
them until good homes were provided
by neighboring farmers or towns
people. How many who read of these un
selfish acts have ever had the priv
ilege of ministering to and restor
ing one of these helpless or abused
creatures? It is an experience worth
as much, or more, to the benefactor
as to the object of his hindness.
Give a dog a good name. It is a
splendid investiment. Too many re
verse the process, and it is as true
that a dog almost as certainly lives
up to a bad reputation as to a good
one. People are that way, too, and
so perhaps these women who are de
votincr all thev possess and all they
can earn to this unassuming charity
rcalize that their work is not in any
sense experimental.
POSTAL PAY AND
RATE INCREASE
BILLATTACKED
Democrats Would Eliminate All of
Proposed Bate Advances; Vote
Goes Over Until Today.
Washington, Jan. 22. The admin
istration postal pay and rate increase
bill was subjected at the outset of
debate today in the senate to an at
tack from the democratic side which
aimed at elimination of all of the pro
posed rate advances.
A vote on the elimination proposal
which is in the form of a point of
order, went over until tomorrow. If
adopted the same form as the pay
increase measure passed at the last
session and vetoed by President Cool
; idge.
Senator Swauson. democrat, Vir
ginia, raised the point of order
; against the sections of the bill pro
posing rate increases on the ground
that all revenue legislation should
originate in the house under terms of
the constitution. Senator Jones, re
publican, Washington, who was pre
siding ruled that the senate would
have to decide the point and a close
vote is expected by both sides.
j May Replace Bill.
Senator Mose?, republican. New
Hampshire, in charge of the measure,
intimated tonight if the point is sus
tained he will make no objection to
having the bill replaced by other
legislation on the calendar. This
would leave prior action on the legis
llation to the house where it is yet to
! be decided upon by the postofhee
committee.
Debate on the issue today lapsed
into a legal argument with speakers
reciting court rulings tis well a. sen
ate precedents to support their views.
Senators Sterling, republican.
South Dakota and Mosers led the fight
against the point of order, arguing
the rate increases were not revenue
raising previsions within the mean
ing of the constitution, since the in
creased revenue would be received
from service rendered rather than
from a levy of taxes. They were sup
ported by Senator Reed, democrat,
Missouri.
Senators Swanson and Pittman
democrat, Nevada, insisted, however,
there was no escaping the terms of
the constitution since the rate pro
visions of the bill clearly called for
increases in revenue to the govern
ment. Preceding debate on this issue.
Senator Simmons, democrat. North
Carolina, had indicated a general
democratic attack on the rate in
crease provisions, declaring they were
proposed, not because it was lea
, present rates were too low, but mere-
(ly to meet an emergency.
Senator Moses replied that the
rates were advanced to meet an cm-?
ercencv brought about by the pro
posed increases in postal salaries and
argured it was fair that the users of
mail should pay for increases in
these salaries. He emphasized that
the committee had sought to allocate
the increases equitably among the
. various classes of mall and expected
to propose further changes after
hearings to be held this summer if
the bill should be paused.
I Before the rate sections were
taken up, that part cf the bill deal
ing with increases in salaries of pos
tal employes was approved tempor
arily. Previously, however, a repub
lican conference had iriven eensidera-
jtion to making the p.ay increases re
troactive under January of this rear
rather than to last July 1, but
' reached no decision.
WANT FLAG FOB NEBRASKA
Nebraska is one Cf the few states
in the union without a flag of its
own, Mrs. B. G. Miller of Crete told
the Nebraska Genealogical society
Friday at its annual meeting in the
chamber of commerce. In her talk
on "Shall Nebraska HaTe a State
Flag?" Mrs. Miller told how a nat
tional D. A. R. officer at Washing
ton wrote for a color plate of Ne
braska's fiag to be put with the
others in the congressional arch
ives, and there was nothing to do
but refuse the request.
A measure creating a state fiag
is being sponsored in the legisla
ture by J. Loyd McMaster of Lan
caster and both the D. A. R. and the
Genealogical society are working to
interest public opinion in the matter
and put the bill thru.
The afternoon session of the an
nual meeeting was also to include a
paper by Mrs. C. S. Plaine on "High
Lights of Washington and Rich
mond," and the election of officers.
Mrs. William Rogers was president
in 1924 and Mrs. C. W. Hudson
secretary.
BEATRICE FIVE
WINS FROM BLUE

Gage County Cagesters at Long End
Of 21 to 10 Score in Game
Last Eight.
Plavine its second game of a three-

basketball team defeated the Platts

scor of 21 to 10. The Gage county
quintet defeated Nebraska City
Thursday night and played Central
High school at Omaha this afternoon.
The two teams battled on even
terms for the first three quarters and
there was little to chose between the
playing uf either. Both teams missed
easy throws in the first half, Beat
rice in particular. The half ended
8 to 6 for Beatrice.
The visitors hit their stride in the
last period, however, and drew away
from the Blue and White, as Worley

hoop in long shots. Johannes, with
10 points, was the leading scorer for
the orange clad warriors.

ILL SEEKS NON-PROFIT
CO-OPERATVE MARKET
Measure to Be Introduced Kext
Week Hodeled on Illinois
Plan.
Lincoln, Neb. Jan. 23. Non-profit
co-operation marketing would be
established on a large scale if a bill
now being preparod by agricultural
interests of Nebraska is passed in the
legislature.
The measure will probably be in
troduced by Representative B. T.
Skeeu the first of next week, when
the legislature convenes. The com
mittee which has the bill under prep
aration includes the following: Pro
fessor H. C. Filley of the state col
lege of agriculture; J. C. Shroyer of
the Farmers union; C. B. Steward,
secretary of the farm bureau feder
ation, and W. J. Hildy, president of
the Wheat Growers' association.
Enactment of this legislation, the
committee hopes, will encourage co
operative marketing of farm prod
ucts through associations and com
panies foremed for that purpose, op
erating under the special provisions
laid down in the bill, which is in
many respects similar to a measure
enacted by the Illinois assembly tw:i
years ago.
The bill proposes organization of
co-operative, "non-profit associations,
without capital stock, by any five
persons engaged in agricultural in
dustry, or by two or more smaller co
operatives." These are permitted un
der the measure to produce, pack
grade, preserve, manufacture or
otherwise handle any agricultural
commodity or by-product, and to
market it collectively.
Two appointments were rumored
in the capital today, but have not
been confirmed by the governor's of
fice. They arc: Mrs. Emily Horn
berger of Lincoln., as chief of the
child welfare bureau; and Dr. W. H.
Wilson of Lincoln as chief of the
health department under Judge Lin
coln Frost, secretary of the depart
ment. A definite program for road con
struction in Nebraska during the
next two years is expected to re
ceive the united support of the house
and senate. Eight bills are now un
der preparation by the committee on
roads and bridges in he house. The
measures cover different phases of
the subject, and probably will be in
trduced before the tenty-day expi
ration period as provided "by law.
The senate committee is advising
with the house committee as to what
will go into these bills.
Many cf the legislators have gone
to their homes during the adjourn
ment period. Thursday until Mon
day afternoon, taken in order to give
Governor Mc Mullen time to prepare
his budget. The governor expects to
have this ready Monday afternoon or
Tuesday morning.

this session it was decided when the j

The Fairfield measure, if enacted j
would reduce the number of Nebras- .

The bill provided that each state's j

Effect of the bill would have been
to reduce the number of congress
men from agricultural steles cf the

New York, California. New Jersey,
Pennsylvania and other industrial

Congressman Morehead was one-
of the leaders in the light against
the kill.
"The people of Nebraska do not re-1
gard the 1920 census as equitable."
Morehead said. "The 1920 census
was taken during the winter months
and the bulk o: this work in Ne
braska and oth r western agricul
