GIVEN SURPRISE On Wednesday evening - Charles Gerbeling received a surprise when a car stopped at his cream station and asked if he had any beer for sale. He did not know what to make of it at first but the party said "you have beer written on your window." This was true for some one had writ ten this on windows about town some time ago, and Charley had not erased this from his window. This was quite a joke on Charley, anyway he thought best to have the words removed from the window. Elmwood Leader-Echo.

Thanks I $750 Lancaster Store at Murray Again Suffers Robbery Loss of Considerable Stock in Lines of Clothing Reported by Owner of Store. The store of Earl Lancaster at Murray, which in the past has suf fered robbery many times, added an other to the list of the visits of rob bers on Wednesday night or early Thursday morning. When Mr. Lan ocnr nrrivpri to onen the store Thursday he fcund the too familiar traces that someone else had been there first. A panel in the rear door of the store had been broken out and which allowed the person to unlock the door and make entrance into the main room of the building. The stock taken consisted largely of sox, stockings, overalls, coats and shoes and other articles of wearing apparel and which is disposed of more easily than other lines as being sea sonable and in ready demand. Some candy and cigarettes also were re ported as missing. Sheriff Homer Sylvester and De puty Sheriff Jarvis Lancaster, bro ther of the store owner, were noti fied and spent the greater part of Thursday in looking over the situ ation and endeavoring to secure some trace of the robbers. The store in the past has been fre quently robbed and the last attempt resulted in the capture by a posse, of the man robbing the store and who later named as his accomplice Ernest Verhule of this city, who wa3 cap tured in Omaha and is now serving sentence for the offense. Since the capturo of the former robbers the store has been unmolested but is now apparently again being made the prey of the gang of store robbers that have visited the small towns of the east part of the state.

Abolition of the party circle was voted Thursday, by the state senate and the measure goe3 now to Gover nor Bryan, who has asked for it re peatedly. The final roll call found thirtj senators lined up for the bill and one. Dworak, against it. Previously it had been passed by an overwhelming vote in the house. Two other measures passed were the Boelts bill to require a 75 per cent vote for authorization of bond Issues, and the Stewart bill allowing depositories of public money to pledge their assets for the protection of those deposits. The votes were 31 to 2 and 32 to 1. Both bills were sent to the house'. ' Jury service for women, recom mended by the governor and approv ed in part by the house, was turned down by the senate on the report of its judiciary committee for indefinite postponement of the house bill. No one spoke for the measure, but there were a few votes against postpone ment. The senate plunged soon afterward into debate of the Neubauer auto fee bill which it started to discuss Wed nesday. As the situation stand3, the Neu bauer bill sets sx straight fee of $3 for passenger cars against the $3. 5 and $S fsc3 in the Stringfellow measure in tne nouse. iue lauer. however, has a lower scale for com mercial trucks, altho both are re duced considerably from present levels. The senate allowed a 10 percent tolerance on listed loads, specified that licenses be 'granted on maxi mum instead of -advertised capacity. and made the fee for trailers the same as for trucks. It cast off several oth er amendments dealing with capacity and defeated one by Van Kirk to make refunds payable only after July 1. These refunds would be made to persons who have bought licenses al ready at the old rate.

Some are on duty at every moment, To run when the chief com mands. For to reach that lofty sum mit. One should obey when duty demands. We must often encounter re sistance, But faithful to duty we run, And never faltering we trust for assistance. And receive it from the Father and Son. No questions should be asked when the call comes, But to duty we should quickly bound, Whether we sing the words to the music, or just hums With no melody within to re sound. The fires may burn within 'with fury, And consume the most unwel come dross. But for the last run we should hurry, And bow at the foot of tho cross. When this stage of action closes, And we survey its stages o'er, Life's dream is pictured in si lent poses. And the curtain is dropped, but then i3 more. The scene opens on another great plain, When the last run is stayed for the end, And visions of harmony have banished all pain As the scriptures most surely defend. "T" SEES HAND OF COMMUNISM Madison, Neb. George B.
