On last Saturday the pouring of concrete on the west bridge was be gun and continued throughout Sun day and Monday that it might get set and cured before a change of weather comes, making it too cold to work in this line. They had good success in their work. Roy Woods, while engaged in work on the bridge west of town on the new highway, had the misfortune to get one of his feet caught between two large pieces of timber, injuring the lerr very badly. He has had to take time off and have the leg treat ed to give it opportunity to get well again. Joe Green, who has been the city drayman, and who has proven himself a good one at that, will soon move to the country, and will farm the place where Jay Austin has been making his home.

Speaking of the radio business in which he has been very successful, selling a large number of machines, Mr. L. R. Upton showed us how he crossed out three letters in the word "depression," to-wit, the first two, "de" and the eighth, "i" to leave the word3 "Press On," which he has made his motto, and which we think is a good one. Conditions are never so bad for the man who is willing to "Press On." Injured in Fall from Bridge While Ben Anderson was working on the new bridge which is being built west of Union on Highway 24, he had the misfortune to be thrown from the bridge with the result that one of his ankles was badly injured and it was found necessary to go to Nebraska City on Monday -afternoon to have an X-ray picture taken of the injury and ascertain to what extent it was injured, whether it was a bone fracture or merely a severe sprain. Ccmpetiticn in Gas Strong At most places in the country the lowest price for gas is 14.9 cents per gallon, and from that ranges upward to 21 Vi- Recently the price at the Trunkenbolz station has been 13 and 17 cents. Union, however, is going them a little stronger, or you might call it weaker, for the regular gas, which has been selling for 16 is list ed in Union at the Trunkenbolz sta tion at 12 cents, while the lower grades are Quoted at 11 cents all over. Mr. Claude Lane says that bus iness is sure good since the lowering of the price, which shows that the public is looking for the place where the dollar will go the farthest.

The following from the San Diego Sun tells of the model and the inter est that it has created: "Your hobby may be collecting menu cards or snatching up bits of wreckage at airplane crackups, but Bill Bell's is building models. "His latest product is the model of a primitive train, shown in ac companying photographs. He hopes it will bring him $1,000. "From smokestack to the tail end of car No. 3, it is an exact duplicate in miniature of DeWitt Clinton's norting Terror of the Rails of 1831. "That was back in the days when 15 miles per hour was a crazy, break neck speed and traveling 100 miles was a3 serious a proposition as go-1 ing away to college. 'If it rained while you Journeyed, it was just too bad for your extra starched collars and cuffs, for bag gage was stowed behind little fences atop the cars. Running out of fuel presented no problem, all the engi neer had to do was stave off the In dians with his blunderbuss while the fireman took to the tall timber and chopped down a cord or two for the firebox. " "It took 800 hours to build the model,' said Bill Bell today. 'I start ed last March and worked evenings, Saturdays and Sundays. There are more than 500 separte pieces in the locomotive and 1600 in the whole train. " 'I got the idea when I read In Ponular Mechanics magazine about a contest for models of the DeWitt Clinton train. I didn't expect to en ter the contest when I started build ing, but toward the last, when t looked like I had a chance to get it done in time, I sat up many a night getting it completed before the con test closed "Mr. Eell ia hoping to win either the $1,000 first prize, the $500 sec ond prize or the $250 -third prize plus a free round trip to New York. "Thirty-eight years old, he is an employe of the aGs Co., and lives at 4451 Fortieth St." KYNARD COMMUNITY CLUB The February meeting of the My- nard Community club was held Feb ruary 24th.
