JOHNT OSTBLOOM, ml9-2tw Murdock Market. This Is Refreshing, Sure. We asked a young woman for some news. She answered, I have no news, but I have this to say: "I am enjoy ing the very best of health, business is good and if I looked around for somcl.iv.r; to crab about, I could not find it."

Wouldn't Put Out Fire. A couple of men selling fire fight ing apparatus were in Murdock and about the country surrounding and were very actively selling the fire fighting Instruments. They sold some three hundred of the machines, which went at four dollars. After the dem onstration on Main street it looked like they would surely work, but when those who had purchased the tin cans and wanting to know what was in them, tried them out they found that they would not put the fire out. A considerable hubub was created and much dissatisfaction pre vailed. The next party who comes along selling this or a similar appar atus will get a cold reception. Seed Corn For Sale.

On last Thursday the class of 1930 of the Murdock high school enjoyed their sneak day, and securing the wagon of J. Johansen and him as a driver, went to Omaha, where they first visited the stock yards and pack ing houses, and visiting and inspect ing the Cudahy Packing house where they were piloted through the plant, and had all the processes explained to them. They then visited many other interesting places, and among which was a visit to the Woodman of the World building, where they had an excellent view of Omaha and vicinity. They also spent the even ing at a show at the Orpheum, where they had a great treat. They caught a glimpse of the world outside of their home town and realized in a way what is over the hills from home. Some Mountains of the Bible VIII N E BO-PI SG AH Deut. 34: 1-5. Oftentimes the death of great men causes quite a disturbance in the world and nations. Their burial places become shrines for pilgrims. God Jehovah knew all this, therefore he provided a leader for his people, in Joshua, and hid Can a - Y FOR THE JOURNAL. the burial place of Moses. The mind and the heart of men should not be turned to men, but God alone. The history of Moses and his life are not like that of other men, he was unique. His birth and bringing up were very extraordinary, the great work Jehovah had for him, required such training, as his life, so was his death. He was the greatest man of the old testament times. Brought up by a devout mother until he was 5 years old, he was often told that Jehovah would bring his people into the promised land Canaan was the dream of his youth, for over a hun dred years he had longed to see this land, to this end he had suffered a rebelious people; to this end he labor-' ed and lived; endured hardships; and in one unguarded moment, one act of disobedience robbs him of all the anticipated hopes of entering the promised land. He entreates Jehovah to change the verdict, but to no avail. God's command must be vindicated The soul that sinned must die. But God in his mercy told him he could not enter, but he would show him the land. Moses calls the last great assembly. It is a wonderful sight: Israel in his tent city. Moses reviews past history, up to the present day; then he in his pro phetic vision tells the people what stations they will occupy, and at the close of his prophesy he breaks out in a mighty acclaim: "Happy art thou O, Israel; who is like unto thee, O people saved by the Lord, the shield of thy help, and who is the sword of thy excellency." His fare well address delivered, God tells him to go up to Mount Nebo, unto a high er peak Pisgah, see the land and die there. He had only a few more hours to live; but with a firm step he be gins the ascent; his eye is not dim med, nor his natural force abated. The people, still under the spell of his last words, watch in silence, un til he disappears from view. Now he is alone with God, all the mist is rolled away, that might have covered that fair land; and there it lay out spread. He saw the smiling green meadows at his feet, between the Jor dan swiftly flowed; and to the right his eye glanced along valleys and woods and bright waving corn fields, stretched away into the dim distance, where rose the purple, snow crowned hills of Lebonon. To his left he saw the mountains swelling like mighty billows of the sea, all struck into stillness; and perhaps as he looked upon these some angel voice whis pered in his ear: There will stand Jerusalem, the city of peace; there shall be the temple, where for ages and ages Jehovah shall be worship ped, and see yonder among the hills, on that little speck in the landscape, a cross one day shall stand, and the Son of Man shall die to save the world. After this view Jehovah takes Moses into his arms, and with a kiss he passes into his rest. The arch angel Michael burries him for a sea son; but soon his is with Enoch and Elias awaiting the resurrection of the Lord. So the forepart of March, 1S92, B. C, this man of God is laid to rest in a depression on Mount Nebo, in the country of Moab. What a death! What a burial! L. NEITZEL.

TWO NEW FEDERAL PRISONS Washington The last of the ad ministration's prison reform meas ures was put thru the senate Friday with the adoption of the house bill authorizing two additional federal institutions. The bill provides for a reformatory to be constructed west of the Mississippi river and for a penitentiary in the northeast section of the country which is now without any federal prison. The senate made eonie perfecting amendments in the bill and it goes back to the house for concurrence in these. Previously the senate had approved other house bills setting up a new parole board and providing for reorganization of the prison administration under the jus tice department. The legislation was recommended by Attorney General Mitchell with the endorsement of President Hoover. Need help? Want a Job!

X-RAY and LABORATORY 4 Mexican Poor Get Farms on National Land Bill Providing Allotment of Gov ernment Tracts Made Effective Mexico City Allotment of farms from national property to Mexican peasants is provided in a decree just signed by President Ortiz Rubio. This is a departure from the disputed agrarian policy of expropriating lands from former large ranch prop erties to give to landless peasants, a law which is, however, not af fected by the new decree. Accusations have been made in the past that large productive holdings were being broken up while millions of acres of good lond lay idle all over the country. The governors of the various Mexican states were recently requested to submit reports desig nating the extent, location, character and means of communication of all national lands within their jurisdic tions. It has been President Ortiz Rubio's express desrie to increase em ployment by colonizing idle lands and at the same time improve the insuffi cient agricultural production of the country. This new Mexican honiesteading policy is seen as the answer, and the provision of the new Mexican decree may be compared to American laws whereby land was acquired in the sparsely settled American frontier states in the past. Mexican national lands parceled out to "poor but willing" farmers will be such as are suitable for agriculture, cattle rais ing, or agricultural industries of other kinds with the stringent pro vision, however, that no toxic plants be cultivated or intoxicating drinks produced. This may be interpreted as di rected against Mexican hemp or "Marihuana," and "Pulque" from maguey. The land grants are personal in character and the tracts acquired must be cultivated by the paplicant himself or with the aid of members of his family. The amounts assigned are to vary with the character of the land but enough will be allotted to provide a living for the applicant and his family. Irrigated lands will be parceled out in tracts no greater than 124 acres and first-class non-irrigated lands that depend on seasonal rainfalls are limited to about 370 acres. Land ad judged "second class" unirrigated is to bp allowed in as high as 1200 acre lots. Third class is considered grazing land. - The Mexican Government wants to utilize the recently irrigated tracts reclair d by various dams recently built and applications for such lands will be preferably attended. The lard petitioned is to be adjudged for assignment and the applicant must sign a five-j-ear contract with the Government although he may renew a yearly contract instead. if at the end of five years he has fulfilled requirements he is given title. He must however, not sell this to another person for at least an other five years. During the five pro abtionary years the applicant loses his land if he fails to pay the taxes, does not cultivate or utilize it the first year, fails to cultivate it con secutively without justified cause such as general droughts, if he grows toxic plants or produces intoxicating beverages, or if he does not cultivate it himself and tries to transfer it to another person. THREE AFTER NOMINATION St. Paul. May 7. John F. Selb, registrar for the Minnesota state railroad and warehouse commission, Wednesday filed for the republican nomination for United States sena tor on a "wet" platform. This move, on the final day for filing, caused a surprise in political circles at the capitol. United States Senator Schall and Gov. Theodore Christianson also seek the republican nomination in the June 16 primaries. Ernest Lundeen of Minneapolis, former congressman, filed for the farmer-labor nomination for United States senator. Knud Wefald. of Moorehead, also a former congress man, has filed for the farmer-labor nomination. Einar Hoidale, Minne apolis, is the only candidate for the democratic nomination. Selb issued a statement saying he favored modification of the prohibi tion law, while Lundeen said a vote of the people should settle the wet and dry issue. - The usual last minute rush brot a host of candidates for other state offices. For the athletically inclined grad uate a tennis racquet; tennis balls; a baseball glove and all kinds of other sporting' equipment can be se cured thru the Bates Book Store. Roberts Nom ination to Com mittee Today No Formal Opposition Filed and Dry Fears Seem Quieted; Week's Study Is Seen. Washington, May 11. The nom ination of Owen J. Roberts of Phila delphia to the supreme court will be taken up tomorrow by the senate judiciary committee with no formal opposition to him filed so far. Adopting the regular procedure of the committee. Chairman Norris will refer the nomination to a subcommit tee, which he has not yet selected. This course will make it unlikely that the nomination itself will be re ported to the senate before another week. There is considerable talk at the capitol over the attitude of Mr. Rob erts on prohibition, but the statement yesterday by F. Scott McBride, gen eral superintendent of the Anti-Saloon league, was believed to have stilled the fars of the drys to some extent. McBride asserted Roberts should be confirmed if he measured up on "integrity of character, legal quali fications. Intellectual honesty and capacity to deal with legal questions from a strictly judicial viewpoint without bias created by personal pre dilection." Both Senators Norris (Neb.) and Borah (Idaho), republicans, who led the fights against confirmation of Chief Justice Hughes and Judge John J. Parker of North Carolina, have indicated their support of the nomin ee, pending further study. Without the leadership of these two veterans, opposition to Roberts is not expected to get very far in the senate. World-Herald. FIGHT WITH FISTS IN AIR New York A two minute fight 3,000 feet in the air between an air plane pilot and an intoxicated man who wanted to fly the rlane ended Sunday in victory for the pilot, whose skill in uppercutting probably saved six lives. With five passengers, in cluding two women, Tex Anding took off from the Gates flying service field in Jackson Height. He did not know that one of the men had been drink ing until the passenger tried to jerk him away from the controls. While the others watched in terror and the plane swayed dizzily the pilot and passenger fought furiously until fi nally Anding knocked his opponent unconscious with a blow to the chin He landed immediately, and the man, reviving( scurried away, fling ing a stone as he left. He was not tpprehended.

Mr. Coatman is assistant or substitute mail carrier and is used as a substitute at the posto;ce. Miss Belle Mayer, whom it will be remembered was a teacher of the Alvo schools a number of years ago, but who is teaching at Lincoln at the university, was a visitor at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John B. Skin ner and with the other friends in Alvo for over the week end last Sun day. Mr. and Mrs, Arthur Dinges en tertained at their home in Alvo on Mother's Day and had as their guests Dr. and Mrs. W. E. Hillis of Syracuse and Dr. and Mrs. Claude Temple of Lincoln. The friends en joyed the day very nicely and ap propriately celebrated the passing of Mother's Day. W. H. Warner, the veteran corn planter and as to that, general farm er, was assisting in the planting cf corn at the home of John Elliott southeast of Alvo last week. The matter of not the best of weather for putting in the corn crop is hurry ing many who have a large number of acres in getting their crop in. Joseph Armstrong has been hustl ing to get the work done which he has before him. He has been making concrete walks and steps for Simon Rehemeyer and at the same time the garden has been hollering, "Uncle Joe, come here, the weeds are about to take me," and so Joe layed off for a day and cleaned the gardens out and then went back to the work on the walks and steps.

Will Change Front. The front of the building which is occupied by Art Dinges for a gar age has suffered the ravages of time and the front is so cracked that it was thought that it was better to take down the block front and sub stitute it with a light material, mak ing it sutcco. The present front, should it fall, would create much damage and in event of anyone be ing in the building might also cause much injury to occupants and the removing the dangerous front is a fine thing. Work was began last week on the making of the change. Alvo to Have Doctor. The city of Alvo has been without a physician since the demise of the late Lawrence Muier, and on last week the household goods of Dr. Fenterman who was formerly located at Wymore, arrived and were moved to the Mrs. Sogaard house where Dr. Fenterman ai.d family will reside.

Thomas Stout, sickness has claim 1 three of the members of the family. Mrs. Stout was the first to be strick en and her mother, Mabelle, who cared for the motter and looked af ter the general house work, was al so stricken, being about worn out with her labors, and then came the illEess of another sister.

Members of Three Faiths Make Plea Hold Seminar Program at St. Louis Catholic, Protestant and Jew Speak St. Louis Apostles of three faiths, a Protestant, a Jew, and a Catholi", snoke from the same banquet table Wednesdayl night aod each pleaded for dissipation of religious preju dices. They snoke on a siminar program described as a "religious prejudice disarmament conference," attended by some of the nation's outstand ing leaders in all three faiths. Then; was no dispoE'tion to reduce fill faiths to a lowest common noinin ator. but rather to bring about a better understanding and apprecia tion cf the different beliefs. Says Comity Urgent. Dr. Reinho!d N'ebuhr cf the Un ion theological seminary. New York, said that "nowhere in the world in the task of creating some degree of comity between various religious communities more urgent than hero in America." He urged creation of coniity by enlarging upon common possessions, aspirations and tradi tions, and by an honest analysis cf differences. lie srw p common faith between the Jew. the Catholic and the Jro 'estiuit in their ethical theism, their hope in a better world. He was cf the opinion that much of what passes for religious projudice is merely "th religious sanctification of race pro judice." The Rev. John A. McClorey. S. J., of the University of Detroit, deplor ed the "dogma of religion." He de scribed culture in America but said religion must be added for virtu i in life. Religion, he said, has fallen into desuitude and has been reject ed largely because of the injection of personal speculation, private opin ion and political views. Asks Finer Sympathy. Rabbi Stephen S. Wise of the Fre- synagogue of New York pleaded for higher intelligence and finer sym pathy to disrel prejudice and ill will. He said that "a policy of calculate 1 unfriendliness toward the Jew" mus: be fought, but that the weapons f be wielded "are not carnal or out ward, but inward and spiritual." Such prejudice, he said, "repre sents a world attitude which fo. centuries has stimulated the Jewt spirit for forbearance toward then that wronged us." The processes cJ education, he added, "must end lh'' Christ killing lie about the Jew an t affirm anew the Christ bearing truth of the Jew in the world." A survey of relations between too three faiths was begun at round tafclo discussions Wednesday and will con tinue thru Thursday. The issues of war and bolshevism in religion were ruled out at the: opening session as not within th" scope of the seminar. State Journal.
