Greenwood Church Honors Long Time Members in Service Judge W. E. Hand and John Mefford Pass Seventieth Anniversary With Friends. The Christian church of Green wood, and its auxiliaries, the Bible school and Christian Endeavor, surely did the nice thing when they 'gave a reception for two of their members who have upheld the standards of Christianity in this vicinity for the past many years. Judge W. E. Hand, who is an elder, and asissted with the church for the past thirty-five years, and John J. Mefford, a deacon, who was a member since there was a church in this community. Judge Hand was born at Washington, Iowa, and has resided in Greenwood for the nnt thirtv-six vpars and has been an active worker in the church dur ing the entire time. John J. Mefford has been a worker in Greenwood for pvpn lonerer. There was a Droerram given in the auditorium of the church in their honor, and in the shape of a birthday surprise. Judge Tlanrl was rpvptiIv vpara old on last Saturday, while John Mefford was seventy years of age on Monday, the dates being respectively septemDer 21th and 26th. There were some sev enty members of the Christian church at Bethanv who were present and sought to do honor to these standard hp.nrpra of th rross of the Master. It was surely a nice thing for the church with whom these two men have worked faithfully for some many years, to ao tnis nonor. While neither were looking for this demonstration of the good will and faith of the members in their works, they certainly were pleased for the manifestation of confidence. Widow of Trute Awarded $13,150 Had Osked $25,000 for Husband's Death Dale Holden Made Sole Defendant. Estella Mae Trute was given a ver dict of $13,150 after the Jury had deliberated from 11 a. m. to 8 p. m. today in the suit for $25,000 dam ages which Mrs. Trute had brought against Dale Holden, L. E. Shurtleff and the city of Tecumseh for the df-ath of her husband. William Trute, who was shot by Holden July 3. 1926. Holden, however, was the sole defend ant in the case after Compensation Commmissioner Kennedy had found that Mr. Trute was not killed while an employe of the city and Judge Mason Wheeler of Lincoln, who pre sided over the case, ruled that as Mr. Shurtleff was outside the barn where the killing occurred, he could not be held as a defendant. Mr. Trute was killed when Holden and Shurtleff went to his barn to search for booze they thought was hidden there. He resisted the search of his barn and was shot to. death by Holden, who was tried for the shoot ing but was acquitted on the grounds of the action being in the line of duty. Mr. Trute had previously been a special officer, employed by the city of Tecumseh, but he had been dis charged before the day of the shoot ing. Peeling ran high at the time of the occurrence, it being thought that Holden had shot without sufficient provocation. In his instructions. Judge Wheeler admonished the Jury that it must be found that Trute came to his death in an unnecessary manner at the hand of Holden before a verdict could be found for Mrs. Trute. JUST ONE MINUTE You can read this in one minute! By the time you reach the last line, property worth $1,064 will have been destroyed by fire somewhere in the United States. Minute after minute, day after day, on the average, this appaling pace keeps up, to a grand yearly total of $560,000,000. That, at least, was the record in 1926. What the showing will be this year, and in the years to come, Appends, in large measure, on you. Ninety per cent, of all fires are preventable, for they are due to care lessness. Take a look in your cellar, your attic, that closet. Clear out the rub bish the old stuff stored away because- "maybe some day you'll find a use for it." Many fires about the house are born in trash piles. While insurance marks the differ ence between protection and destitu tion, every American home has its tnasured possessions whose worth cannot be computed in terms of money and can never be replaced. A minute's thought now may save thep atient accumulation of a life time from the ravages of fire. After all, it's chiefly a matter of protecting your own dwelling and those whose presence there makes it j home. Isn't it worth a minute to you? SELLS FINE FARM From Thursday Dally Frank E. Vallery of this city has disposed of a fine farm in the vi cinity of Genoa, Nebraska, in which he has been Interested for some time. Mr. Vallery secured a very vne deal on the farm and will realize a neat sum cm the sale of the farm. Mr. Vallery Is expecting to leave in the next few days for Texas to look after 6ome land interests there. ' Have you anything to sell? Tell the world about it through the Jour nal's Want Ad department NAVY PURCHASES 140 PLANES Washington, Sept. 30. The Navy department Thursday approved or ders iTor 146 of the most modern air and eeaplanes at a cost of $7,600,000. The department also approved or ders for a large number of Wasp and Whirlwind motors and other equip ment. Delivery Is to be at the earliest possible date. This is the largest single aircraft order placed in recent years and brings the navy abreast of the ex pansion program authoried by con gress at the last session. With the planes already authorized by congress at the last session. With the planes already in service and ordered, it will give the navy the nearest ap proach to an adequate airplane com plement in history. Farm Products Prices Better Purchasing Power Now Eighty-Eight as Compared With Eighty Three Year Ago. Washington The agricultural sit uation at the end of September shows improvement as compared with a year ago, the department of agricul ture announced Wednesday, giving the purchasing power of farm prod ucts as 88, compared with 83 at thi? time last year in the general index which used the 1909-14 period as a base of 100. Summing up this season's appar ent production and returns, the de partment said "it can probably be called an average year for the south; for the corn belt, a fair year in the east: for the far west, a good year in the range states and Pacific north west." "The animal industries, taken to gether, are in as favorable position as they have held in ten years," the review continued. "Cotton and fruit are apparently in more moderate sup ply than last year, and returns from them are correspondingly better. Wheat and potatoes are somewhat larger crops than last year but their prices are still favorable. "The cotton crop, ravaged by the boll weevil, is forecast at nearly one third less than last season's output. Winter wheat turned out some 75, 000,000 bushels less than last year through it was about an average crop, but spring wheat Is more than making up with 100,000,000 bushel? in excess of last year. Apple Prices High. "Movement of both cotton and wheat to market is more rapid than last year. Potatoes appear likely tc turn out about an average crop, some thinfg under 400.000,000 bushels Late fruit is a substantially smaller crop than last year, especially in the east. Apple prices are corres pondingly higher and western applf districts are faring better than they did. ' "This is Just the critical time for corn. Warm September weather did a lot to mature the grain but light frosts have left their mark lately in northern valleys while the big, gen eral freeze is presumably not far ahad. Even if frost holds off twe weeks yet a substantial portion of the corn will be small ears, soft wormy, or otherwise low in quality In general, the corn territory west of the Mississippi has a much better crop than that east of the river. The corn shortage presumably will senn some lighter hogs to market; it may act to restrict breeding somewhat for spring pigs. But there may be more feedable corn than has been thought likely. Separate Gangs Robbed Banks State Officers Believe Milford "Job" Wes Executed by Three Master Yeggs. Lincoln, Sept. 30. After checking thoronehlv over details of the epi demic of bank robberies in Nebraska Wednesday, state officials naa aDoui reached the conclusion Thursday that the three robberies were committed by separate gangs of at least three men each, perhaps all of them work ing without knowledge that the others had planned similar activities. At first it was thought that the Fame gang robbed the Milford and McCool banks, but the work was car ried on so differently that officers now doubt about the correctness of that theory. At Milford the robbery was obviously by experts, and a late estimate of the loot places it at $6, 200 cash and $5,000 in Liberty bonds. The McCool robbery looked more like the work of amateurs and grossed only around $200. At Hord ville two men held up bank officials and customers, getting around $1,500 whereas both of the other robberies were at night and no one was held up in them. With the likelihood that they must find three gangs instead of one to bring all the criminals to Justice, officers were faced with a tremendous task. Some still felt, however, that the Milford robbers may have broken into the other two banks, aa it would have been possible for them to be at all three places at the time the rob beries were committed.

I Pheasant Hunt Opens Next Week Rifles Not Barred by Law Use of Chilled No. 4 or 5 Shot Is Recommended. The army cf hunters that is pre paring to invade Wheelerand Sher man counties to kill male ring neck pheasants is making preparations to bring back the bag limit, which is not much, only five birds in posses sion. Thi3 is also the daily bag limit. The three days open season starts in these counties at 7 a. m., Oct. G and closes at 6 p. m., Oct. 8. Inquiry at the state game war den's office discloses that hunters may use rifles to kill pheasants. The new law bars the rifle only in the shooting of water fowl. In fact hunt ers may kill pheasants with a club if they can first catch the bird. Dog3 will be used by many hunters. Hunters are advised to use nothing less than No. 6 chilled shot, prefer ably No. 4 or No. 5. This is the ad vice of the Pennsylvania game depart ment where there is a thirty day open season on these birds. The Pennsylvania game warden states that this season is too long. It is the experience of hunters there that many fail to use shot of suffi cient weight to stop these heavy birds and many are wounded and lost. Uy using heavier shot soprtsmeu are said to either make clean kills or miss entirely. The Pennsylvania department re ports that ringneck pheasants thrive best where plenty of swamp territory prevails, except, in high mountain swamps such as exist in some parts of the state, and that where ringnecks have been stocked on high elevations they drift down to the farm valleys and remain along the streams and brushy ravines where both feeding and shelter conditions are to their liking. Chief Warden O'Connell believes this does not hold good in Nebraska where there are few streams and val leys. The ringnecks in Nebraska he finds do not all leave the uplands where the country is sometimes rough and sandy. The birds have been trapped along the lowlands by order of the state bureau for transplanting and those remaining have been taken to the uplands where it is difficult to trap them. Most sportsmen who have hunted pheasants in states where they have been hunted regu larly for many years report that they are ss good a game bird as grouse. Mr. O'Connell says there is no reason why hunters should kill female pheasants by mistake for the male birds. The three townships in the south western corner of Sherman county. Scott, Harrison and Hazard, are nt. open ground for pheasants. The state game bureau will have men posted about the county lines to see that birds are not killed outside the open territory. Tags wjiich can be pro cured from dealers in licenses in the two counties must be obtained by hunters to attach to bag when ship ping out. Believe Kid napers Seized the Wrong Girl Captive Is Released When the Pair Learns She Is Net Daughter of Wealthy Farmer. Falls City, Sept. 30. What i3 be lieved to have been an attempt to kid nap and hold for ransom, Mabel Jones, daughter of George Jones, well-to-do farmer of near Salem, is seen in the abduction of Wilma Par cell, 18-year-old adopted daughter and niece of S. F. Parcell, a neigh bor of the Joneses. Drugged into a stupor, the Parcell girl was held a prisoner all Wednes day, and released when she recovered consciousness and convinced her cap tors that she was not Mabel Jones. Girls Look Alike Authorities believe the kidnapers were foiled by mistaking the girl they stole, for Miss Jones, who is about the same age and appearance. The Parcell girl was standing about 7:30 o'clock Wednesday morn ing at the mail box in front of the Jones farm, waiting for the school. bus. A man walked up to her. drew a gun, and ordered her to march up the road about 50 feet where a woman was waiting In a light tour ing C4W. The girl says she was put in the car and forced to take a drink. She fell into a stupor and when she opened her eyes, it was dark. Woman Realizes Mistake. "Aren't you Mabel Jones?" the man demanded. Wilma told him she was not and said the woman appeared to realize the mistake because she interrupted to tell the man, "No, that isn't Mabel Jones." Convinced of the error, the girl re lated, the couple drove a considerable distance, and when they let her out of the car, she was within sight of her home. It was 11 p. m., when she reached the house. Both girls went to school aa usual today. INJURED BOY IMPROVING From Saturday's Dally Fred Hull, who suffered a frac ture of the right thigh on Thursday afternoon when the bicycle that he was riding crashed into a car at 6th and Main street, is doing very well at the Immanuel hospital in Omaha altho suffering some from the shock and the pain of the injured limb.

X-K-I-I-I-K-K-H-H-M' 4 The long looked for occasion "arriv." has Some have said the dedication of our building is the culmination of a worthy effort. Not so, however. It but marks the beginning of a long period of con tinued hard work and careful man agement of accumulation of funds to "finish the job" for no Legion naire will consider his responsibility ended until the ultimate goal is achieved. The Legion has some $17,000 (its own and contributed money) invest ed in this unit that was paid the tribute yesterday by Commander Cain of being the best Lfgion building in the state. Every effort will be made in the future as in the past to con duct Legion money-making enter prises in a manner that will merit the confidence and support of the public nd all money derived from same will go into the fund to provide for future completion. The "Buy-a-Chair" movement was originated by non-Legion members, who had already subscribed liberally to the building fund but felt the im pulse to do something further for this worthy enterprise. It offers an opportunity for Legion members who haven't subscribed to "own their own" and be assured of a place to sit at post meetings, etc. Positively no I-O-U contributions to this fund I will be accepted. Accompany your order with one siraoleon for each chair wanted, so the committee can "take the discount" when the chairs are shipped and not have to run around and hunt up a hundred odd guys to get their dollar. On account of dance schedule pro viding for dance on first Wednesday evening of each month, date of meet ing night is being changed to first Tresday instead. Our post will meet rtxt Tuesday night in the "blue" room of our new building. Those who don't "buy-a-chair" will prob ably have to sit on a nail keg. Nothing but words of praise are heard for the assembly room with its 5,000 square feet of dance floor. The committee feels grateful to Mr. Far ley Hamilton of the Omaha Floor and Sanding company for coming down ,last night and offering some valuable suggestions on tne care oi tne iioor, v.hich his concern laid, sanded and polished. The presence of Commander Cain in the city yesterday was the occa sion of a splendid informal gather ing of past commanders, post officers and building committee members around the festive board at the home of Commander Soennichsen last even ing. The finest sort of good fellow ship prevailed and the short after dinner toast program brought out some splendid ideas of future plans for Legion success. The crying need today is for mon ey money to pay the final estimate due on general contract, to provide heating facilities, to finish equipping the kitchen and provide banquet tables and these who have sub scribed and "forgot" to pay are here by advised that the committee is counting on your loyal support now. Please do not fail them. Next year is going to be the big gest one yet in local Legion history, and with the annual election date little more than a month off, it be hooves the members to begin giving consideration to who they will have for the 192S officers. Pay j'our pledge buy a chair continue to boost and we will have that fine completed building almost before we know it And don't forget POST MEET ING NEXT TUESDAY NIGHT. School Boy, Jilted by Girl, Kills Self Myron Wilson, 16, of Pacific Junc tion, Commits Suicide as Parents Sleep. Broken-hearted at losing the affec tion of a girl, Myron Wilson, 16-year-old senior of the Pacific Junction (la.) High school shot and killed himself late Thursday night at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Wilson, near Folsom, south of Council Bluffs. The rest of the family had retired between 9 and 10 o'clock, and the boy pleaded to remain up longer. saying he wanted to write a letter. About 1 o'clock his mother, attract ed by the light downstairs, sent Mr. Wilson to investigate and the father found the body. He had used a rifle to shoot himself in the forehead. A two-page note which the boy had written, was addressed to the girl. who is eaid to have forsaken young Wilson for the company of another youth. She lives near Hastings. Sheriff W. S. DeMoss said that he had read the note, but that It assign ed no reason for his act. He did not believe that the boy took his own life over a love affair, he said. W. W. Sim, superintendent of schools, could shed no light on the affair, he said. There will be no Inquest. Myron played on the Pacific Junction foot ball squad. World-Herald.
