M wray On last Tuesday the weather was eo severe that tho school which meets in the church and the library was discontinued as it was so severe that the buildings could not be kept warm enough to work ia the school room at a profit. Mrs. Ilattie Royal, who has been making her home in Plattsmouth and assisting in the care of Mrs. J. C. Ellington, was visiting for the past few days at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Stamp whero all sure enjoyed the visit very much. Those who attend the school at Union were kept at home on Tuesday because of tho freezing of the water pipes in the school building at Union on last Tuesday night and so there was no school until there wa3 an op portunity to make repairs of the plumbing. Mrs. Sadie Oldham who many months ago had the misfortune to Bible School Sunday, February 12th "Jcsns Teaching by Parables" Mark 4:1-10; 13-20. In this lesson we are introduced to a peculiar kind of teaching by our Lord. It was well adapted to his hear ers. It was a new method; even his disciples did not understand it. In the old Testament only three para bles are recorded, while in the new Testament forty are spoken by Jesus, but this first one is the only one with an explanation it is the key to all the others. The word "compare", conveys to ua. the .mean.! ii vpf parable"- pom-1 parison similarity. Eight parables were speken by Jesus in connection with our lesson, namely: (1) Four fold Field; (2) Sc-lfgrowingSaed; (3) Wheat and Tares; (4) Mustard Seed; (5) Leaven; (6) Treasure in the Field; (7) Tearl of Great Trice, and (8) Good and Bad Fish. This mode of teaching his enemies could not criticise; it was a revela tion to his hearers and they heard him gladly. The whole human race comes under the classification of the four kinds cf hearers. This Is the second time that Jesus used a boat for a pulpit. lie had the multitudes with him; they still are found where they are fed the bread of life. We should question ourselves, if we cannot held or interest the people. "What is the reason? Whose fault is it? What can be done to bring the people to the house cf God?" "Is not my word like a fire?" saith the Lord; "and like a hammer, that breaketh the rock in pieces." (Jer. 23:29). "Hearken!" "Behold!" two ex pressions calling for keen listening; calling special attention to some thing worth while "A sower went fcrth to sow." Thi3 calls for a study cf hand-sowing, as it was practiced in Nebraska fifty years ago. The ir.achine and pressdrill do not scatter seed like hand work. In Palestine Helds were not fenced; paths led thru fields and seed falling on the hard beaten path was picked up by birds. Stony ground could not yield a har vest ard thorn-infested ground would choke the grain. There is only the good ground left and that would vary In yield. The pupils call on the teacher for an explanation. Every Sunday school tocher must be able to make his teaching clear. If you lack wisdom end understanding. "Ask of God, that giveth to all liberally . . . and it shall be given him." (James 1:5). Here follows the explanation: The Sower is God, Preacher, Evan gelist, Missionary, Sunday School Teacher, Christian Writer every earnest Christian. The Seed, the Word of God, devine truth, which Christ came to impart. The Field 13 the world the hearts of men. Four kinds of hearers: 1 The Wayside Hearer. Men go to church with good intentions, they teem to listen, but the -word does not enter their heart. Satan goes to church. He is on time; he does not procrastinate. He will make all the work of the preacher ineffective. Satan uses some secret sin to destroy the seed of truth, that may be sown I in our hearts. Be sure the devil ha3 : fall and Injure her hip and since has beon compelled to keep to her room and bed, but having made good pro gress was able to sit upin a chair and is making good progress, which is nleasine: news to her- host of rriends in Murray and vicinity.. The fleet of trucks owned and" op erated by Frank Mrasek were busy during the stormy and most disagree able day of thi3 winter. They were delivring stock for V. J. Philpot, Mr. liapp and hogs to W. B. Livingston to the South Omaha market on last Tuesday and Tuesday night and a very bad night, but just the same Mr. Mrasek and hi3 co-workers stuck to ths Job until it was completed. George Nicldes and wife were home from Lincoln for over Sunday and also visited in Omaha, where they were called on account ot Mrs. Bertha Shrader who it will be re membered last fall was struck by an automobile and severely injured and who ha3 but just now been able to get out of the bed. Late last week Mrs. Shrader had the misfortune to fall and fracture the affected leg, which places her back in her bed which she had occupied for so long on account of the former accident. To Make Home Here Again. Arthur Reed and family who have been residing near Alden, Kansas, for the past few years, where they have been farming, and having re sided here for years before have in this community many friends and while here last fall rented the Xick les farm southeast of Murray and Lesson Study! By L. Neitzcl, Murdock, Neb. more devices than the crows, and they are certainly keen enough to get at the seed. The soil of our hearts must be broken up by repentance and contrition and penetential tears be fore the word can take root. Are men gcspel-hardened, that the best ser mons go in one ear and out at the other? 2 The Stony Ground. A thin cov ering of earth, with rock under neath. Here is a sudden response to the truth, and swift decay. This i.3 no argument against sudden con versions, but a disclosure of the causes of the decline in religion in some who may appear to be convert ed on the sudden. Causes of this sudden response to the truth are: (a) The novelty of the truth presented; (b) The specially favorable circumstances of the hearer a recent trial, etc.; (c) His men tal and moral constitution superfic ial, emotional, given to change. Causes of the sudden decline are: (a) Internal, want of root, no depth of character, lack of thought; (b) External, sudden prosperity, tribula tion, persecution, etc. The merely im pulsive, shallow, flipplant hearer acts without 'deliberation therefore is easily discouraged; when he is called to suffer anything unpleasant for his confession, he backs down. 3 Another sort of hearers Sown among Thorns. All the manifold oc cupations of our daily life, our busi ness, our social engagements, our worldly ambitions. Life has become very complex for most of us. Some lose their religion with the increase of wealth, who served God when poor. Sensual pleasures carried to excess, sports, ease, luxury choke the word. Can a rich man maintain his religion? Abraham did. John Wanamaker did. Thi3 is a lovely world with many in citements to unholy desires. No man will hold what he has except he is "rooted and grounded in love," that is, God. (Eph. 3:17). 4 Good Ground. It is remarkable that only one-fourth of the hearers should respond to the call of God; and then these are not all 100 per cent Christians, 30, CO and 100 three classes. But is is encouraging that there are "such as hear the word and accept." Not only with their minds, but with their wills, their hearts, their affections, the central purpose of their lives. These are the dcenj cf the word and not hearers only. The purpose of this parable Is to illustrate the reaction of the differ ent hearers to the word of God. The seed is the same in every instance. The result lies altogether in man, himself. He can "resist the devil." (James 4:7). Yielding to God will bring a man In line where Ho will "take the etony heart cut of their flesh, and will give him an heart of flesh." (Ezekiel 11:19). Man should heed the warning cf God ia I Tim. 6:9 (please read). The blessed man is "like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth fruit in his season; hia leaf also shall not wither, and. whatsoever be doeth shall prosper. ( realm 1:3). will make their home in this section again, expecting to move during the present months as soon as the farm is evacuated, which is now occupied by A. D. Crunk and family who are soon to move to the Mrs. Edward Murray farm south of Union. Earl Mrasek was down to Kansas last week, and brought the imple ments and live stock to Murray, de livering them to the farm. Later Earl will go to Kansas to secure the fur niture and such other things as they may have to bring. Murray extends a very cordial welcome to Mr. Reed and family. Work Proceeding Nicely. The home which Contractor Ira B. Green is building for Mrs. Fred Hanni has been making good progress dur ing the past few weeks and Is now about ready for the plasterer, and while the work has been delayed dur ing the past few days, the progress has been very satisfactory. Ladies Aid to Meet. The Ladies' Aid of the Christian church of Murray are soon to hold a very enjoyable meeting which will be typical of the ladies for they sure are to have good things to eat. They will- indulge in oysters on February 24th and also share them with their friends. Mrs. iEgrrid L. Ingwersen Dies. Mrs. R. H. Ingwersen who had been in poor health for some time died on last Monday at their country home northwest of Nehawka, where the family have resided for many years. Miss Ingrid L. Nelson was born in Sweden and came to America when a girl, and after having resided here for some time was married to R. H. Ingwersen, some more than thirty years ago. They made their home on the farm where she passed away ever since. This union was blessed with two sons and two daughters, they being Stirling Ingwersen of near Plattsmouth, Harry Ingwersen at home, also two daughters the Misses Leverna and Pauline Ingwercen at home. Sh9 leaves also three sisters and three brothers, the sisters being Mrs. Ole Lundberg and Mr3. Ger trude Carper "of Nehawka; Mrs. Frank Vantino of Crawford; a bro ther. Gust Nelson of Nehawka; Harry Nelson of Murray and Theodore Nel son of Imperial. Early in life this excellent woman united with the Methodist church and had ever maintained .her membership in this church. The funeral is being held this Thursday afternoon from the Methodist church of Nehawka and directed by the Hobson funeral home of Weeping Water, th9 dis course by the Rev. George I. Morcy who is pastor of the Methodist church at Hooper and who is being assisted by the Rev. E. S. Pangborn, pastor of the Methodist church at both Nehawka and -Weeping Water. The interment was made at the coun try churchyard near where she had lived for these many years. Think Stork Fine Bird. There were four families recently blessed when the ntork, that gener ous old bird, gave to each a very line boy baby, the first being presented to Mr. and Mrs. Curtis Ferris, weigh ing six and a half pounds, and glad dening the hearts of the parents and also of their many friends, as well as Grandfather John Farris, who cannot help but wear a smile now. The second to arrive was given to Mr. and Mrs. Lucean Carper and bearing the name of Master Allen Lu cean Carper and you bet Lucean and the good wife are happy over the ar rival. The third came to the heme of Silas Ferry, Mrs. Ferry formerly was Miss Leyda, and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. O. T. Leyda, which adds much to the circle of happy relatives. The fourth was presented to Mr. and Mrs. M. R. Glaze, Mrs. Glaze being daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank G. Hull, and sure the events have brought much pleasure to many of the happy relatives and caused the congratula tions of a host of friends to be ex tended.

Good music and good order. d&w AIR MAIL IS THREATENED Omaha. P. G. Johnson, president of United Air Lines, said it wa3 im possible to predict intelligently the effect of the senate's refusal last week to approve any part of a 19 million dollar appropriation for air mail. "Unless some appropriation Is made, there can be no airmail," John son said. "It would not be possible to go ahead and. carry the mail, re ceiving as payment only the actual income from. the. Bervie, unless a j new law were passed." Cass County Farm f Bureau Notes g Copy furnished from Office 4 g of County Agent Wainscott 400 Expected at 4-H Club Banquet.

Mak3 Cheese from Surplus Milk. 700 Cass county 'women enrolled in extension project' clubs are goin sr! to learn more about cheese making in the home when they hold their February meetings. Club leaders attending the leader training meetings which are held this month will discuss the making of cheddar cheese, soft cheese, cottage cheese and Neufchatel cheese. The leaders will take the information from the leader training meetings books to their individual clubs. Since the price of milk has fallen more than the price of its products much interest is expected to center around the subject of making cheese on the farm. Cheddar cheese can be made anytime during the year but is best adapted to regions where it is nossible to keen the milk cool so that gas forming bacteria will not develop. Where there is a surplus of milk as there often is during April, May and June, the making of Ched dar cheese offers a means of con serving for later use milk which might otherwise be wasted. Can Yon "Fix It"? Do you know how to splice a rope? Can you solder a leaky bucket? Would you be able to adjut a balky binder? Can you make over an old coat into a new one? Can you mend a hole in the plastering, fixe up a broken stairway, repair a fence or a gate, or do several hundred other things that need to be done around the farm and home in a year like 1?33? All of these questions apply to the Fix-It club project, a new one for the boys and girls 4-H club folks. The circular which includes the sug gestions and directions looks like a big catalog.lmt does not contain all of the jobs that a wide-awake boy or girl can do to help the family get along without much cash outlay this year. In addition to fixing up equip ment, the boys and girls in the Fix-it-club are going to learn games and stunts, tricks and puzzles which they can. use in entertaining themselves and their friends, and they will a80 take up accident and fire prevention and the control of flics, rats, and similar farmstead pests.

HEAR "H0E0 ISLAND" CASE Echos from "no man's land" vi brated in Judge Goodriche's court Monday at Glenwood, when the suit of John Newsen plaintiff vs. Carl Hol lin and Troy Brooks, defendants, came up for hearing says, the Opinion-Tribune. All members of the suit are of the colored gentry residing on the once famous but now historic "Hobo Island" country along the Missouri river, where landed titles are still imperfect and possession, backed with a strong will and a good gun, are nine points of the law. By the eviden ecit was shown that I Newsen settled in the community in 1925, fencing in about 100 acres as a "squatters claim," and had made a good living and built a very com fortable little home, and in 1931 had rented a portion of the land to the defendants, but difficulties arose, and Newsen was subjected to several inconveniences, among them the i burning of his horns and he being the recipient of a charge of shot from a shot gun, but he "stuck it out" and continued to rent out land, but finally brought suit for collection of the rent.. The amont claimed was $24 from Hollin and $60 from Brooks. A jury composed of Dick Hamilton, Walter Stivers, Rev. Sales, Bert Pace, Wm. Cooper and Chas. Hunt, heard the evidence, which required the en- Lilt? UtlJ'. AllL'l lUUt UUU UU1L deliberation returned a verdict for the defendants, Hollin and Brooks. SUFFERS SEVERE INJURY Clyde W. Drew, jr., 23, of 310 South Fifty-third street, Omaha, suf fered a compound fracture of the left leg, and his father, Clyde Drew, for mer Plattsmouth resident, was cut about the face and hands Saturday night when loaded cattle trucks crashed into their car east cf Osceola, Ia., and demolished it. Occupants of the truck which struck the Drew car, and another cattle truck following close behind which crashed into the first, escaped with bruises and minor cuts. The Drews had left Omaha at 4:30 Saturday afternoon for Poplar Bluff, Mo., where the c-lder Drew had a business engagement. The truck struck their car head-on at the ap proach to a bridge. Young Drew was taken to a hos pital at Chariton, Ia., then to Lord Lister hospital at Omaha. His father was given medical attention and pro ceeded on to Poplar Bluff upon the arrival of Mrs. Drew and their son. Jack. Jack drove his father the rest of the way. Young Drew was resting well Monday, although his injury wa3 severe, the bone having protruded through the flesh above the knee. He received treatment without anesthe tic. As a youngster he suffered a compound fracture of the right leg. The right leg was not injured this time. CHIMNEY BURNS OUT A chimney at the residence- of Jo seph Schiessl, 15th and Oak streets, burning out called the fire depart ment to that place late Tuesday night. The danger ot fire was over when the department arrived. FARM PRICES RUN HIGHER Chicago. Prices of all farm prod ucts, except grain, rose sharply, borne upward by a swirling snow storm and fast dropping temper atures. It wa3 a sellers' holiday and buyers had to like it. The hog mar ket led the way, prices shooting up 35 cents a hundred to reach a top of $4, paid here last Nov. 10. Fregh supplies were slim, with prospects that Wednesday's would be smaller because of stormbound highways in the middle west. Traders purchased frantically, believing runs the re-1 mainder of the week would be of famine proportions. Cattle were steady to strong, with buyers watching the weather situa tion closely. The sheep run was heavy. Poultry, butter and eggs also reaped benefit. Supplies were com paratively light. Tomek May Get Big Federal , Plum Shortly David City Democrat Said to Lead for Revenue Collector Job in Past Paid $6,403 a Year. The first big democratic plum to drop from the federal government into the hands of the rank and file in Nebraska is likely to fall the last of February when the state demo cratic delegation in congress meets to do some endorsing for the ap pointment of revenue collector, a job that in the past has paid $6,400 a year. The position is now held by A. B. Allen of Omaha, at the pleas ure of the treasury department. How the delegation is to get Pres ident Hoover to submit the appoint ment to the senate for confirmation, remains one of the mysteries. If the appointment must wait on President Roosevelt it may be longer coming. National Committeeman Mullen and National Committeeman Ryan who might claim to recommend in lieu of Nebraska democratic senators, are reported to be willing to leave the task to the democratic congress men. The four applicants listed are A. P. Sprague of Lincoln, Albert P. Fitzsimmons of Tecumseh, James H. Hanley of Omaha and Phillip To mek of David City. The latter claims he has four of the five congreosmen in his favor and the fifth one will ing to take him as second choice.
