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.

Professor Leffler of the Lincoln

Class Enjoys Sneak Day.
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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

The front of the building which
is occupied by Art Dinges for a gar

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.
