MORTGAGE THE
FARM?
Many a tragedy has been
written about the "wayward
daughter" and the "mortgaged
homestead."
But that was in the days be
fore the "farm loan" became
good business.
The farm loan concentrates
your indebtedness, gives you
a low rate of interest on long
or short time, as desired.
Yes, the farm loan is good
business.

vines. He was very disgusted with

might be for it was a very scurvey
trick. He took a spade and cut the
vines and melons, so that they would
not return again.
Community Entertainment Friday
On account of the very bad
weather when the date was set for
the Murray Community picnic, it was
not possible to hold it as the rain
was coming down in torrents, and
the project wa3 abandoned for the
time, thinking that the skies would
clear and that there would be a time
when they could have the picnic. But
it has gone along until it has been
decided to have an-indoor picnic, so
arrangements have been made for the
holding of ther-same on Friday night
of this week, when the picnic will
be held at the Peterson Hall. There
will be a free movie picture show,
and a free social dance, and free re
freshments, which will make the oc
casion one of general good feeling
and all are especially invited to come
and have a good time.
Highjacked the Juice.
Some of the forbidden juice had
its lodgement in the cellar of one
of the citizens of Murray, and the
fact becoming known to the very
young members of the kid line of
Murray they went to his cellar dur
ing the wee small hours and abstract
ed the ruby fluid. This so exasper
ated the one in whose possession the
wine was, that he was tempted to
take the matter of the housebreaking
before the county attorney, but fear
ing the arm of the law, passed the
matter by and kept his counsel to
himself. This is case where the law
should get after both the possessor
j and the thief who stole the wine.
There was five gallone and they do
say it was rare.

Bellevue Takes
Bunting in the
Sarpy League
Defeat of Plattsmouth 9 to 4 Sunday
Eands Them the Bunting in
Easeball Contests.
From MonflaVs Daily
While Bellevue was taking the
measure of the Plattsmouth baseball
team yesterday at the Sarpy county
town, Papillion was splitting with
the Gilmore team, the result of the
league season closing with the pen
nant being clasped in the hands ot
Bellevue.
The game Sunday between the
locals and Bellevue was 9 to 4 in
favor of Bellevue and lacked a great
deal of being a snappy contest with
the wet grounds and general lack of
enthusiasm that marked the battle
The Platters were represented on the
mound by William Harvey Mason
who did his stuff in first class shape,
while at the receiving end "Chuck"
Fulton stopped the heaves of the
local slab artist. The game was wit
nessed by a very good turnout of the
Bellevue fans to witness the winning
of the seiason's struggle by Andy
Graves and his hard-hitting and
fighting aggregation.
While the Bellevue team was doing
the closing operation of the season on
the Plattsmouth team. Gilmcre ad
ministered the last blow to the hopes
of the Papillion team in winning the
pennant. In the opening game of
the double header, Papillion with Le
Mar at his best, handed, a 11 to 7
defeat to the Gilmoreites, while in
the eecond frame the Gilmore team
came right back and annexed the
contest by a score of 2 to 1, it being
a real battle.
In the beginning of the season,
Plattsmouth had a goodtart on the
pennant race and held first place un
til July 4th when Papillion dumped
them from the position and on the
following day Bellevue gave them an
other push downward.
The loss of a double header a week
ago at Papillion by the locals elimi
nated them from the second place
race and left the league leadership to
be fought out by Bellevue and Papil
