Death of Former Resident of Cass County in West George McNurlin, for Many Years Living Here, Dies in Broad water, Nebraska. From Thursday's Dally The death of George McNurlin, for many years a well known resident of this county occurred on Sunday at the family home, at Broadwater in the west part of the state and the funeral services of the deceased held there on Tuesday afternoon. Mr. McNurlin was aged seventy three years at the time of his death and has spent the greater part of his .lifetime here in Nebraska and Cass county where he came as a very young man from his native state of Illinois and settled in this county. He was for a time a resident of this city and also engaged in farming in Mt. Pleasant precinct. While living in Mt. Pieasant Mr. McNurlin was married to- Miss Helen Archer, the eldest daughter of the late Judge Michael Archer, who with one son, Orin, survives his passing. The family after leaving the farm in Mt. Pleasant moved to Greenwood where they located for a number of years and later moved to Havelock where Mr. McNurlin was engaged in working in the shops there. Twenty years ago they moved to the west part of the state where Mr. McNurlin filed on a homestead under the Kin kead act and became one of the early residents of that section of Nebraska, six years ago they moving to Broad water where they have since made their home. Mr. McNurlin in addition to the wife and son, Orin. leaves two sis ters, Mrs. Rose Axmaker knd Mrs. Myra Howard, and one brother. Gust McNurlin all of Greenwood. He was also a cousin of John McNurlin of thi3 city and Frank McNurlin of near Mt. Pleasant. MOONLIGHT AND GOLF Prom Friday's Dally We have read about "Moonlight and Roses" but a new combination has been worked out with the mel low light of the moon and that is golfing by the lunar light. Last night. Jack Redmond, who has a golf act on at the Orpheum in Omaha, staged a moonlight battle with Faye Porter, state champion at the Happy Hollow club course in Omaha and which brought forth a large number of the golf fans to see the battle, something new in the golf circles of the state and as soon as the Orpheum was closed for the night the participants in thematch hurried to the Kappy Hollow club where the battle was staged. Flare3 and searchlights added to the in terest of the match and in the nine hole game the experts made their way over the course in fine shape. The chief interest in the game was the fact however, that Clate j Rosencrans and A. O. Moore, two of Plattsmouth's most favorite follow ers of the canny Scot game were on hand to see the battle. The points gathered by the local people will doubtless be used in forming a sim ilar event in this city if the mem bers can appear on the course suf ficiently lit up for the event. Mr. Moore states that the game was one of great interest and the players shot a fine game despite the handicap that the uncertain arti ficial light gave them. The reporter called at the place of business of Mr. Rofencrans this morning at 10 o'clock but he was not present and the best reports that could be gained was that he was engaged in perfect ing the plans for a moonlight golf tournament here. t It is our opinion however, that good moonlight is too valuable to waste on a common golf game when there is always something doing "Under the Moon." 1 i:?rx 3x Segars DEATH OF JAMES LEE Tronr Saturday's Via II v The death of James Lee, known resident of this section well for a great many years and who has in the past fifteen years been living at Pacific Junction, occurred this morn ing a S o'clock at the hospital in Omaha where Mr. Lee was taken some time ago suffering from a very acute attack of appendicitis. Mr. Lee was hurried to the hos pital and operated upon but was un able to rally from the effects of the ordeal and the poison that had got teh into his system. Mrs. Lee, the wife of the deceased died a short time ago at the home in Pacific Junction and since that time Mr. Lee has made his home with the children. The deceased was the father of Mrs. Joseph Bulin formerly of this city and a brother-in-law of William Mindenhall. Traffic rail interests ask the presi dent to aid in giving the commerce commission more power and freedom in rail consolidations. It is supposed the president will add this to other requests made him. ORDER OF HEARING on Petition for Appointment of Administratrix The State of Nebraska, Cass coun ty, ss. In the County Court.

Dated October 24th. 1927. A. II. DUX BURY, (Seal) o31-3w County Judge. Many Attend Hog Men's Con vention Friday QUIET CONDUCTIVE TO EFFICIENCY Five Hundred Attend Morning Ses sion at Agricultural College and Listen to Talks. Nearly 500 hog breeders and feed ers had gathered at the college of agriculture by noon for the annual feeders day to take part in "rooting" for the hogs Friday and for the Uni versity of Nebraska football game on Saturday. At the beginning of the morning program at 10 o'clock, some 250 people were on hand at the judg ing pavilion, taking up every avail able space. Due to the anticipated large attendance at the afternoon meetings the program was held at the student activities building. K. C. Fonts, county agent of Sew ard county, and W. W. Derrick joint ly told the visitor about brood sow selection contests and demonstration prizes. II. C. Filley, chairman of the rural economics department, gave the hog men a vivid" sketch of the hog situation. His topic was: "The Com ing Year and the Hog Man." Using charts to illustrate many of h's points Professor Filley declared that fluctuation in hog prices runs in cycles of four years ancl that when hogs are high in price, corn is usual ly low. Russell Kendall, a graduate, row connected with the Packers National bank of Omaha, told about his experi ences in the field with the promotion and organization of pig clubs. He cited instances where young boys had entered the work and realized :i:',' from their efforts. One little eleven-year-old Sarpy county boy, Mr. Ken dall related, made a clear profit cf over $250 from an original invest ment of $100 for a proved purebred Poland China sow. He raised a spring and fall litter from the sow, paid $78 for the feed and $3.50 per month in terest on the money with which he bought the sow Scientists say that the noises of a large city cost millions of dollars a year in impared efficiency of workers. Many of the older, more excruciat ing noises of civilization are being climated. Electric and gas welding is superseding the pneumatic riveter. Electric motors replace the noisy en gine. Asphaltic pavements and rubber tired vehicles give back only a frac tion of the clatter of the old steel tires on granite block paving. But the city id still fearfully noisy. Every unnecessary noise saps nerves and destroy:; health and working effi ciency. With ten people living where one lived two decade:-? ago, the sum total of noises is larger today than it wa3 in the earlier days, hence the greater necessity for noise reduction. To escape noise ij one reason for growth in the tendency to take in dustry to smaller towns, where quiet, and better air, and more greenery and more room and more individual ity are possible. All these are deflnit, bankable assets for any industry. Electricity, gas and sound-muffling asphalt on streets are three of the most potent noise-reducers, and work as ideally under rural conditions as in the city; with them industry in the smaller community can be almost noiselt-ss and nerveless and 100 per tent eflicent.
