Charles Atkinson, who is getting in readiness to harvest one of the largest crops of corn which has been grown in this neighborhood for a long time, purchased a corn elevator to care for the unloading of the golden ears after it has been gather ed. In order that the auto which is owned by the irrepressible R. D.

Hans Christensen, the farmer and all around rustler, has established a sheep boarding house and has now taken 125 head of sheep to board.

To Have Home Coming Day The Baptist church is planning on having a home coming day at the church on November 1st, when there will be invitations issued to all who have ever held membership with the church, and to all Baptists, whether holding membership with this church or not. Besides this, the invitation will be extended to the general pub lic, who will be made welcome. Look for a further announcement of the heme coming day and the program arranged for this occasion. Entertained Friends Sunday Last Sunday at the country home of Mr. and Mrs. John Armstrong south of Union, this estimable couple had for guests a number of their friends, where they were entertained in true friendly manner. The day was most agreeable and spleasantly spent by the hosts and guests with social conversation, music and song. There were present to enjoy the occasion. Earl Wolfe and family and Clarence Armstrong and wife. At the Baptist Church The service last Sunday was very well attended both at the Bible school as well as the preaching services. There is renewed interest in the Bible school work and the church services. The program for the coming Sunday includes the regular Bible school ser vice and preaching service with the meeting of the Baptist Young Peo ples society in the evening. Services for Next Sunday The services for the coming Sun day at the Methodist church will be very interesting and are as follows: Bible school at 10 a. m. Morning service at 11:30. Epworth League at 6:45 p. m. Evening service at 7:30. The subject of the morning service will be "Tuning In," and there will be a special number by Mrs. Clifton B. Smith, while in the evening the subject will be, "Launch Out Into the Deep." Interested in "Constitution" "Old Ironsides," which took part in many warm battles in the earlier days of our country, and which is not even counted as a battleship in these days of limited armament, even, possess ing a great historic interest, has be come the object of a campaign under taken by the Benevolent and Pro tective Order of Elks looking toward having the old ship restored and pre served. Plattsmouth lodge No. 739 of the order has taken up its part of the work of raising funds in this county and the school children are rustling in their pennies and nickles to help rejuvenate the historic eld ship that has more than 40 sea en counters to its credit. The Constitu- familiarly known, fought in the war of 1S12 and others of more recent date. In their working for the pres ervation of the old ship, the children must of needs learn something about its historic career and thereby be the better history students.

October 30th, give a chicken pie sup per, announcement of which in more definite form will be published the coming, week. Watch for it. Man Attend Funeral In another column will be found the obituary of the late Mrs. Lelia Queen, who died at the hospital in Omaha last week and was buried at Lewiston church near where she was born, and where she was laid to rest in the cemetery near the church at which she attended church services and Sunday school when a child. There were a large number of her friends and relatives from Union in attendance at the funeral, she having many friends here and in fact where- ever she has lived. Getting After the' Corn L. G. Todd, who believes in getting results when he goes after a matter, had six men picking corn in his fields when we passed, and . is taking on all comers.

Many Pay Their Eespects At the funeral of the late Mrs. Lelia Queen, whose death occurred early last week and the funeral which was held on last Friday from the Lewiston church, was largely attend ed by the people of Union and vicin ity, many of whom are relatives of this excellent lady. There were hosts of people who knew of the excellent character of Mrs. Queen who wished to pay their respect and honor to this excellent women and who were at the funeral on last Friday. Welcome Pastor and Teachers Last Monday evening at the Metho dist church, the Ladies Aid of that church gave a reception to the new minister and the teachers of the Union schools, at which a very worth while program was rendered. The people of Union are thus showing: their appreciation of the minister who is coming to labor for the spiri tual uplift of the community, and the teachers who are spending the year here imparting instruction to the children of this community. There was a large and appreciative crowd present to welcome the minister and the teachers and the following pro gram was rendered, which was very much enjoyed. Orchestra.

It is with a feeling of deepest sad ness that we are called upto to record the death of Mrs. Lelia Queen of Ralston, Neb. who died at the Nicho las Senn hospital on last Tuesday! evening at 11 p. m. The death of Mrs. Queen came as a severe shock to her relatives and friends though not unexpected as it has been known for some time that she was to be here but a short time. She has been in failing health for the past several months. A brief funeral service was conducted Friday morning at the Hoffman-Crosby funeral home of Omaha, Rev. Chauncey Premer, form erly of Ralston officiating. A large crowd of neighbors and friends and pupils gathered to pay their last re spects to the one whom they had learned to love. The body was then brought to Lewiston church where at three o'clock Rev. W. A. Taylor, pastor of the Baptist church at Union, spoke words of comfort to' a large crowd of relatives and sorrow ing friends after which the body was laid to rest in the Lewiston cemetery. The love and esteem in which she was held was deeply manifested by the profusion of beautiful flowers which covered the casket and bank ed around it. A quartett, J. D. Cross, D. L. and Ellis La Rue and W. A. Taylor, sang three beautiful selections. They were accompanied by Mrs. Wayne Garrett of Omaha. The pall bearers were, Ray Frans, Exa Frans, Kemper Frans. Edward Lewis, Eugene Fitch and Herbert Campbell, all nephews of the deceased. Mary Lelia Fitch was born October 16, 1873, in Rock Bluffs. Nebraska, where she grew to womanhood and received her early education in the public school of that place and has been a teacher in the public schools of Cass, Otoe and Douglas counties for more than thirty-five years, her last school being in Ralston, where she taught for two years and was elected for the third year, but, owing to her failing health, was unable to go on. She united with the Baptist church in Union in April. 1893, where she still held her membership at. the time of her death, but always let her light shine where ever -she lived, by work ing in churches of other denomina tions if there was none of her own. She always opened her school every morning by reading a portion of the Bible to her pupils. She was mar ried to A. C. Dugay, June 24th, 1893.. Two children were born to this union. Francis A. and Margaret Pearl Dugay, both living in Omaha, who with an aged mother, four sis ters and four brothers; a number of neices and nephwes, and a large circle of friends are left to mourn her departure from among us. One sister, Mrs. J. D. Lewis, preceeded her in death two years ago. It is a great comfort to know she went fully prepared to meet her Savious and just before the midnight ;hour .on October 13th, 1925, he passed to the great beyond where there is no pain nor sorrow, aged 51 years, 11 months and 26 days.

" Building New Bam. Paul Attens, the carpeter and builder has nearly completed the new barn for "Dick" Breiner, to replace the one which was struck by light ning early this fall. William Golner, when asked, how business was, replied, "I am sure well pleased the way the people of Avoca and the surrounding commun ity treat me. We have a good town, fine people, good schools, good banks and a fine place to live." It surely sounds nice for a man to stand up fair and square for his home town and appreciate the many friends he has in.it. Many Attend Funeral. In honor of the true worth of the late Mrs. Chas.

Just how a toad maintainer could burn we do not understand, but one of those running out of Union on the O street road caught fire and burned near Jerome St. John's home, and was left there for a few days until they came and hauled it to Union. Slight Blaze, Big Excitement. Last Sunday afternoon while a while a very strong wind prevailed sparks from the chimney of the hotel building caught the roof of the build ing and in a very short time a big blaze was devouring the roof.

Repair men say that seventy to ninety per cent of all bills for automobile repairs are traceable to improper lubrication that with protective lubrication motors run quietly and have an efficient life, double or treble what most owners expect and get. The correct grade or body of motor oil to suit the clearances in cylinders, bearings and between moving parts is the first im portant requirement. The second is equally important clean oil. Buy the grade of motor oil recommended on the Polarine Chart, which you can con sult at any Red Crown Service Station, and you use the most suitable oil. You run on clean oil when you drain out the old oil after every 500 miles of operation. Fol lowing these two simple rules provides protective lubrication a smooth running, quiet motor and small repair bills.
