In Love with Native Home
Fifty-five years ago, George Hard
nock was bom in the vicinity of
Alvo and has resided within a very
short distance of this city as soon as
it became a city, with the exception
of seme four years, during which
time he lived in Oklahoma. Speaking
about Alvo, Mr. Hardnock said that
he had lived in this section of the
country for fifty-one years and want
ed to live here the remainder of his
life, for he considers it a good place
to live as well as a good place to be
buried, for he said he wanted to be
buried here as well. We like the
man who is in love with his place of
abode and is not afraid to say so.
For when one does not like the place
where he lives it is time to move.
Located the Stolen Car
The car of Miss Sanders, which
was stolen a week or more since, was
located by the officials in a ditch on
the Plattsmouth-Omaha road near
Fort Crook, and very badly damaged,
ko much so that the owner thought
it just as well not to go to get it.
Will Build Gocd House

time begin the erection of a very
line house in Alvo, having purchased
two good lots and will begin the
excavation for the basement in a
Khort time. He will build the house
2Sx32 in the main and with a kit
chen which will be 12x14. There
will be pome five rooms with bath,
and which will make a very fine home
for John and the good wife. They are
entitled to a good home and in the
end it will cost no more than to rent
something which they do not like.
Keeps Uncle Joe Hustling
Joseph Armstrong, who is well
along in years, has done much hard
work in his day and is not afraid to
tackle any hard job yet, as to that.

He has been pretty busy with nu
merous jobs in the construction of
cisterns and cesspools but still has
a little time at his disposal and last
Wednesday was utilizing part of it
in the planting of a fine patch of
potatoes, having in mind the raising
of something to eat. He will soon
construct a cistern for L. D. Mullen
and also one for John Banning, to
supply the new house with plenty
of soft water. Joseph is nearly 74,
and still hustling like a young man.
Another Disastrous Fire
This time it was the barn where
George Frizbie lives, northeast of
Alvo, not alone the barn, but the
contents, which included grain and
hay, with Eix horses and six cows,
two calves, all the harness and other
equipment contained in the barn.
As Mr. Frisbie had no insurance
on the property the loss comes very
heavy on him, and at a time of the
year when he has just got to get in
the fields to work.
The people of Alvo and the com
munity believe in being neighborly,
and immediately a half dozen of the
real men of Nebraska got out and
were hustling for something to pay
for a few horses and something to
feed them with,-as well as to supply
the necessary things to work with.
Harry Welchal, Chick Roelofsz, A.
H. Welchal, E. M. Stone, Soren Pet
ersen and W. F. Bornemeier got out
and soon had nearly $500 besides
some feed,, which will come in very
handy.
The Alvo Fire department . made
an excellent run for the fire, arriv
ing after the barn was too far gone
to. gave, the structure, but did noble
work in the 'preventing of the fire
spreading' to other buildings.
C00LIDGE IS COMMENDED
Washington Former President
Coolidge's magazine article asserting
that he had no intention of return
ing to public life was declared "a lot
of horse sence" Thursday by Senator
McN'ary of Oregon, the assistant re
publican leader of the senate. Sena
tor Fess, republican, Ohio, who was
keynote speaker at the last republi
can convention and who has suggest
ed that all former presidents be made
members at large of the senate, ex
pressed abiding faith that "surely
former President Coolidge referred
only to the presidency and to being
a senator from Massachusetts."
Smiling as he read quotations from
the article McNary shrugged at spe
cific questioning with regard to Cool
idge's returning to the presidency.

DISTINCTLY FINER GASOLINE"
REPEATS its
n tK S KlUMrh
THE numbing zero weather of winter proved beyond question that the new Red
Crown Ethyl is a distinctly Finer gasoline.
These fine spring days unleash new driving power in motors fueled with the new
. Red Crown Ethyl.
Tractors break tough sod easier and faster. Trucks do their work better, and with
less gas. Passenger cars are livelier, quieter and more instantly responsive.
Because the new Red Crown Ethyl is a distinctly finer gasoline, you rarely have to shift
j gsars in slow traffic or for the hardest hills. Gone are gas knocks. Carbon does not
4
hobble the power of your motor. Big cars and little ones, old cars and new all
show greatly improved performance with the new Red Crown Ethyl.
The finest motor fuel science and modern refining processes can produce, it is not
surprising that the new Red Crown Ethyl is repeating its winter triumph.

E. Bristow Is Exhausted From
Month's Captivity in Ban

Oklahoma City Exhausted from a
month of privation and terror in the
hands of Mexican bandits, J. E. Bris
tow, American oil man, was released
by his kidnapers Wednesday In the
mountains near Ahuacatlan, Nayarit,
after payment of ransom by his son,
Obie Bristow.
The long weeks of anxious waiting
were climaxed by the meeting be
tween father and son, who had hur
ried to Mexico when news of the cap
ture became known. The exact
amount of the ransom has not been
made public, but was believed to be
either $10,000 or $15,000.
."Let mother know I am well," were
the father's first words when he was
greeted by Obie Bristow. Mrs. Bris
tow is in San Angelo. Tex., where her
husband had been engaged in the oil
business. The family formerly lived
in Oklahoma.
Bristow was worn from his long
captivity, and his face was covered
with a heavy growth of graying
beard. He had been held since March
10, most of the time in the sub-crater
of an extinct volcano near Ahucatlan,
where the bandit gang camped. The
place was a natural fortress against
the Mexican federal troops whieff
have been pursuing the outlaws.
Cruz Delgrado, the bandit chief,
made the final negotiations with mes
sengers employed by young Bristow.
The money was obtained by Obie
from two Texas banks which had
done business with his father.
Before daybreak Wednesday the
bandits took Bristow to a mountain
side, Blakely said, going a long way
around to avoid the eyes of Mexican
soldiers who have been ordered to
get them dead or alive. They left,
Bristow in the hands of native mes
sengers who brought him into Ahua
catlau. State Journal.
