Nickles and wife were to Waterloo last Sunday where they were visiting the new Community building which has hut recently been completed at that place and thereby getting a most exact idea of what would be the proper thing for the community building which is to be erected here at an early date. The Nickles Lumber sard is hav ing a very up to date set of scales installed at the lumber yard office which will have capacity for the weighing any loads which may come this way. Ira Eearl and Curley Pear ly this week made the excavation for the foundation which was run by J. A.

And many other good things will he on the spread, on Thanksgiving day all over the land, for this is a year of plenty and there is many thanks coming for the manifold Mt-ssine which is the lot of the Am- . , n(.piallv the Nebraska practice for many years will serve dinner and supper on Thanksgiving early this week looking towards the erection of a new and up to date com munity building, much encourage mentwas had in the excellent pro gress which was made regarding the attaining the end so much desired. The evening showed a realization of seme eighteen hundred dollars to wards the erection of the new edifice. With this start it Is thought that the proposition can be accomplished and the much needed building secured. Many Visit at Union. A large number of the ladies of the Order of Eastern Star, residing in Murray were guests of the ladies of the order making their homes in Union on last Tuesday, the meeting being held at the home of Mis. Mary Ji. Allison of that place and the visitors as well as the delegation from the county seat were elegantly entertained by the ladies of the or der cf Union. A most delightful day was enjoyed. Mesdames J. F. Bren del. G. H. Gilmore. Fannie Crosser, E. W. Milburn. O. A. Davis, E. S. Tutt and W. G. Boedeker were in attendance. The New Murray. Murray suffered greatly by the fire which visited the town early in the summer, but she is rising out of the ashes a better town than before the fire came. With the completion of the two new buildings now in pro cess of erection, and the buildinir of the new community building which is certain of being erected yet this fall, the town will be supplied with better buildings than it ever was, and a new incentive to do all that possibly can be done for the town in sures a far better city than it ever was before. The building which re places the former Peterson building is far superior to the one consumed, as well as the new post office build ing which has been erected by Mr. Smith is a credit to the town and a great improvement over the one which served so many years before.

The illness of this dis tinguished churchman and Mason will be regretted by the many friends in this community where his friends are numerous. av. nov. 11 -I- Sunday, Nov. -13, 1927. By M. S. Brings Lesson Topic: "Harvest in the Whirlwind." Golden Text: "I desire goodness, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings," Hosea 6:6. The Wayward People. Israel was a wayward nation, she had followed cunningly devised fables she had forgotten the kindnesses of Jehovah, and had wandered after idols and had worshipped and did sac rifice unto them, even when the idols had been made by their hands. Even from the time when they were in Egypt, many of the people had clung to the worship of idols, even when they were recipients of God's love and favor. From the beginning man had been a preverse child, and has been ungrateful for the many blessings which God had continually showered upon him. The world under the bless ings of God had become so wicked, that it was necessary that it be de stroyed in the time of the flood, and Noah and his wife, and the three sons and their wives were saved that the world might again be inhabited and that the human race might again be given an opportunity to make good. Even after man has continually turned towards sin. not all but still there were none without sin, and the race was contaminated with the wor ship of idols, and when they had grown so bad. God chastised them, this in many ways by sword, in winch they had losses and became servants to other nations, by droughts, and by pestelences and famines, in which it was taught that as Joshua said at Slieckem, if you serve God ye shall prosper but if you forget him and go away after the worship of idois you shall be smitten on all sides. So it was and so it has been and will ever be. "Righteousness exhalteth a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people." Hosea, The Prophet. . Now a prophet is not necessarily one who tells the coming of future events, like the making of a program for a future age. but one who is the spokesman of the Great Jehovah, it may be the truth which he wishes to convey, or it may be the pronounce ment of he results of the acts wheth er those acts be rieht or otherwise. We have just studied about Amos, who while like Elijah, came with a stern command and a rebuke in the most severe terms, telling what the result would be for the way the peo ple had sinned. Amos did not mince the proposition but was most out spoken in what he had to say. and told that those who had seemingly proposed, by their unjust actions would in the end pay the fiddler by being deprived of the very things which they had by unjust means wrested from the poor, whom they had ground down without mercy. Now com?s the new prophet, Hosea, he not like Amos, a child of the desert, but a man wluo had lived in the city and had the advantage of an oppor tunity to study, and had mingled with man and was well versed in the ways of the world. He with a ten der nature, had a messaee for the people, and while he condemned the sins of Israel and Judah. in no un measured terms and told them that they would have to pay for the sins they had and were committing, held out a ray of hope to them, should they turn from their misdeeds, and also implored them to repent and return to God and in truth trust, obey and believe on Him. Teaching along the line in which the Master taught in the afteryears. he had in mind in expressing the love of God, the thought centralized in the wonderful Golden Text cfthe Pible found in John 3:16. which reads. "For God so loved the world that He gave his only begonnen Son that whosoever believed on Him might not perish, but have everlast ing life." Hosea had had his share of trouble, and used the things which had come to him to illustrate the in finite love of God. Hosea had married a wife and to them were born three children, a son, then a daughter and then again a son, and in the after years the wife had proved herself untrue, and had become an abandoned woman of the world, and being later a vagabond, was made a slave, and was offered on the block for sale. Notwithstand ing the grief which had come to Hosea he purchased her, and took her home, even after her sins, and keeping her in seclusion, and upon her repentance and being converted again to a good woman, became strain his wife, thus illustrating the love of God, who was willing to take back again apostate Israel, who had sinned when she had gone after man made idols and had forgotten Him. Thus Hosea preached an actual ser- I mon in his life, as we all are teaeh ' ing in our every day lives if by right I living, then the results which come j from that manner of life, and if by a sinful life, that the calamites which cometh as a natural consequence. Hosea taught as Christ taught in I the later days, that God is ever will ! ing to forgive when we in all honesty ol purpose and fully believing that ' notwithstanding we have forfeited ' every just consideration for the If ny of the readers ct the Journil KnoT ol my soclkl evert or ltm of Interest lc this vicinity, t.nd -will mall itmeto this office. It will ip peax under this hed1r(r. We want fcU newsitem Editob clemency of a just and outraged God, that when we do sincerely return and keep the covenants of the Great Jehovah that he will pardon our sins and restore us again to that position, which is so vivedly describ ed in the parable of the prodigal son. For had not the younger son asked and received the portion which should come to him and gone away to a far country, (that is lived a different life from what he had been taught) had spent his all, and was dead broke, and out of a job, and after having secured a place herding hogs, and was living on the food which they cat, the pods of a locust tree, he concluded he would go back and if he could get a job working for the father who he had dishonored. No sooner did he conclude to go and ask for a place to work and to make good after the wicked life he bad lived, than he immediately started for home, fully minded to say to the father "I have sinneg against God and Thee, and I have no more right to be considered as they son. Just give me a place to work, and a morsel to eat." The father with all that fountain of compassionate love, was waiting for the return of the son. and meeting him out on the way fell on his neck and kissing him forgave all and restored him to his position as a number of the family, and to sonship. So is the Heavenly Father waiting for the return of any one who will come to Him. and he will in nowise cast him out. A week since we visited the Adult Bible class of the First Presbyterian church, taught by W. T. Adams in Plattsmouth. and found that class do ing excellent work. This Sunday we visited the Bible school of the Chris tian church at Louisville, and found them actively studying the word, with two adult Bible classes and six classes in all. We shall endeavor to each week give a short report from the schools we visit over the county. Secures Change in Running Time of Auto Bus Clarence Cotner Received Permission to Leave Here cn Omaha Trip at 6 p. m. ! Ffn WednpFdr.v's T.iil.v I Clarence Cotner. who operates th? , bus line between this city and Omaha and which is knon as the Platt3-month-Omaha bus line, has just re ceived the notification from the state railway commission that they have granted his request for permission to , change the time of his daily evening I trip to Onioha. ! Heretofore Mr. Cotner has left ; here at 7:30 in the evening for Omaha and which time has not been 'so satisfactory for the operator of the bus or the general public as it has made the time of arrival in Oma ha late for the theatre goers or others ' who might have engagements in that city. The new time of leaving, 6 o'clock, gives ample time for those who may wish to go to Omaha for the evening and to reach there at an early hour. This time will place Mr. Cotner one hour ahead of the time of the De Luxe bus line that leaves at 7 p. in. instead of being a half hour later as has been the case. The new schedule of running time on the Cotner line will be effective starting this evening at 6 o'clock. New Fords Arrive! 1 Considerable interest was aroused here by the arrival of two new Fcids. , While iot ready for exhibition pur poses, the Fords have been observed by several and much approval of their fitness and finish has been voic ed. Their bodies are finely lined and graced with pleasing curves. Their color Job is of a quality that shows the richness and well being, and their lines in general are wholly fit ting for the work desired of them'. , Probably, not without reason, the design follows that of former models, but there are individual differences. ; They are generally quiet, but there lis considerable sound when heavy i stress or exertion. Their speed and i durability have not yet been tested. but their fuel consumption, at least at the present time, is surprisingly low. Methods of caring for the radiator overflow remain the same. While formed on the same general principles, there is much difference between the two models received here, which is not surprising when it is considered that one is a boy and the other a girl, born to Mr. and Mrs. Louis Ford. The babies have not yet been named, but they and their mother are reported to be do ing well. The Press, Manchester, Iowa. SEEKS NEW TRIAL Nebraska City, Nov. 7.

Shanghai, Nov. 8. Celebration here of the 10th anniversary of the bolshevik revolution of 1917 was marked by an attack upon the soviet consulate by "white" Russians, with the resultant death of at least one person and the injury of 11 others. With the attacking mob dispersed, police Monday night were patrolling the neighborhood of the consulate and no further disorder was expected. Patrols were stationed in the Chapel district, in order to prevent the gath ering of further mobs. Halts Reception, The riot began during a reception in the consular building in honor of the anniversary. A group of "white" Russians, representing the classes that were expelled after the bol sheviks gained control, gathered about the building. Some of its mem bers hurled bricks at windows and attempting to break in the barred door, shots were fired from inside over the heads of the crowd. When the first pistol shots failed to disperse the crowd, the aim was loweivd and individuals began to fall. Police said Monday night that one man was killed and one woman and 10, men were wounded. A large number of tourists and society folk gathered in the Astor house, which is a rendezvous for fashionable Europeans, were alarmed by the firing. The first sounds of shattering glass drew many of the guests in the crowded hotel to tbe windows where they were endanger d when the firing begun. Some of the bullets glanced from the side walk and hit the front of the hotel, but none of the guests was injured. Blames British. B. Koslovsky. soviet consul, said after the attack that it "was the re sult of the activities of numerous enemies, notably the British press, to crush us. If we are to be unprotect ed as the accredited consulate of soviet Russia in China, we must pro tect ourselves." Anti-soviet posters printed in Rus sian, Chinese and English, posted on th-? consulate walls, said: "Ten yen if! tigo the communists promised Russian workers and peasants an earthly paradise. Instead they de nrlished everything and the peasants ind workers were rewarded with blood, iiUiuisition and famine. Now tluy se ek to destroy China and create Jiscord among nations. Why should hey be allowed to remain in China. We will clear them from Shanghai." Omaha Bee-News. TO PLAY PERU PEEP The Platters are to go to Feru du Friday where they will meet the foe t ball team of the Feru Prepara rory school in the next to the last ;a:nc of the football season. The southeastern conference games f the local high school team has re ulted in a defeat at the hands of Tecumse-h and a tie battle with the Auburn team and the Platters hope to be able to check up a win with the Peru Prep on Friday and with Nebraska City- here cm the Turkey Jay game and whicn will give them l good showing for the season. .The Peru Prep team was the cause of the locals being deprived of the southeastern championship last sea son when they won a game here by the score of 3 to 0. a well booted kick giving the Prcpsters a score that on the combat. This season the championship ?c-ems well sewed up by the Tecumseh 'earn that has had no serious opposi tion from any of the teams played isid" from that which they had from Plattsmouth and where the score was 13 to 7 for the Johnson county team.

SAVE COAL BY-PRODUCTS Leading gas engineers contend that coal is essentially a raw material con taining too many valuable elements to be destroyed or lost when it is burned as fuel. Their plan is to establish giant gas plants at strategic points through out the country where coal is easily available, and distribute gas for fuel through a network of high-pressure gas mains, and save the valuable by-1 products of coal.

W. I'.ied erman. aericultural agent of Dawes county, who recently re turned from a ",,0C0-mile tour of eastern states. "To anyone who is tired of this section of the country, I recommend that they take a trip east and study living conditions, especially among fanners, and I assure them that they will be thankful that they live in the west." he said. "On account of infertility cf soil it is an utter impossibility to rais. crops without addition of fertilizer on eastern fcrms. For this reason farmers of the niiddle west must strive to prevent their lands lie-coining as infertile by the rotation of crops and diversified farming. "Farmers in the east are not mak ing use of improve-d machinery tint can be found on eve-ry farm through out Nebraska ar.d Iowa. It is raiely that the eastern farmer hitches up a team of more than three horses, and very few of them find it profitable r use a tractor. "Farmers of. Illinois, Indiana and Michigan are beginning to look to ward Nebraska and other western states for hardy alfalfa seed. Their principal legume in past years has been red clover, but throughout these states the farmers are obtain ing stands of alfalfa with favorable fucccss." Mr. Bie-dermanu said. "Although some eastern states are wonderful agricultural sections, they cannot be rated above Nebraska. In some instances those eastern states produce higher yields than are found in Nebraska, but in proportion to the cost of the land and the Cott of up keep they do not yield any hieher net profit per acre," says Mr. Lied ermann. Mr. Biedermann cite-d one illustra tion of 4n ecstern farmer spending all fall in seeding 12 acres of wheat: first plowing, then packing and add ing lime and fertilizer before seced ing. After spending his time and money for the fertilizer, the farmer must depend upon the weather to harvest a yield of be-twee n 25 and 30 bushels per acre next spring.
