Beview: Jesus Our Example
in Service
A three months' study in Mark's
Gospel, has brought out to the stu
,,.4ient1::ihoI.has eriousijr applied -himself
to find that Jesus Christ is the
Son of God and servant of men, a
clear and indelible picture, of the
matchless Preacher, Teacher and
Healer "who went about doing good."
(Act3 10:3S).
A review by lessons brings out the
following important facts:
Lesson I Description of the fore
runner, John, the Baptist, his style of
preaching, which prepared the way
for Christ. The great success of his
work; his pointing to Jesus a3 one
"mightier than I," who would not
baptise with water but baptise "in
the Holy Ghost." Finally the bap
tism cf Jesus "to fulfill all right
eousness."
Lesson II Brings out the fact3 of
Jesus annointing with the Holy
Ghost, acknowledged by his Father,
and then undergoing the test a 40
days testing time before he can be
gin actual work. His first work is
calling men to "faith in Him." Four
men show that they believe in Him.
It was a good beginning. So Jesus
calls men today for service. Do all
follow as quickly and as willingly as
these four? Why not?
Lesson III Show us Jesus at work
His time is short. The work of es
tablishing the Kingdom is a momen-
teous undertaking. But he plunges
right into the work. The first day's
work shows with what zeal and de
termination he goes at it. He teaches
as "having authority" and it causes
"astonishment." His control over
demons brings "amazement" to the
people. It shows Jesus also as the
"great Physician." The evening ses
sion is a busy one, all receive help,
but it leaves Him exhausted. A night
in prayer restores his strength and
he is ready for another day.
Lesson IV Brings to us the intel
ligence that Jesus is indeed God in
carnate. It is the prerogative of
God alone, to forgive sin. God has
never anywhere delegated this pow
er to sinful men. Some have assumed
it, but without authority. Peter
would not try it, as we read in Acts
8:22. "Pray God, if perhaps the
thought of thine heart may be for
given thee." Man might be partial
in forgiving sin, not God.
Lesson V Shows Jesus as the
Lord of the Sabbath. Ey a fine dem
onstration he convinces his hearers
and the crowd that follows, that his
critics are wrong, by citing David'B
acts; that the Sabbath was given to
men for a blessing. Also that acts
of kindness and mercy can be per
formed on the Sabbath and have
God's approbation. ;
Less ori VI Brings us to the day
rv n
his home west of Murray for lumber
for the construction of two A type
hog houses, which he is needing this
spring for the care of his pigs.
John W. Kruger and Floyd Hite,
both of Murdock, were visiting with
their friend, Aubrey Townsend, while
on their way to Plattsmouth to look
after some business matters on Fri
day of last week.
Roy Cole, who lives near Platts
mouth, was a visitor in Murray on j
last Wednesday, securing some lum
ber for the construction of a brood
er house on the farm for the better
care of their chickens.
Walter Allen who is in the U. S.
navy, is now stationed at Long Beach
where he is on guard duty in the
quake district on twelve hour shifts.
He writes his parents here that the
destruction is very severe.
Messrs. A. G. Long and Henry
Heebner were in Omaha last Wed
nesday, where they were looking af
ter some business matters and Mr.
Heebner was consulting his physi
cians regarding his affection.
C. M. Reed was a visitor in Platts
mouth a number of times last week
and this with loads of voters to par
ticipate in the contest and help boost
the standing of the local Christian
rhurch in the race for the $50 to be
given away Saturday night.
Miss Florence Bartlett of Omaha,
where she is attending school and
her friend Miss Reane De Les Dern
ier, who is working in the city both
were guests of Mrs. H. R. Do Le3
Dernier for the day last Sunday, be
sides visiting with many other of
their friends here.
J. A. Scctten and wife were in
Omaha last Monday, where they vis
ited a hospital for an examination of
the knee of Mrs. Scotten, which was
injured some time since and which
is persistent in its refusal to re
rpond to the treatment. It is feared
Lesson Study!
By L. ITeitzel, Hurdock, Neb.
when the work became too heavy for
Jesus, and saw the necessity of ap
pointing helpers. It was a solemn
occasion, preceded by a night in pray
er. Out cf the great number of his
disciples he selects twelve men. Very
carefully and deliberately he call3
one after another, "that they might
be with him," to be especially in
structed and prepared to carry on the
work. Did Jesus make a mistake in
appointing Judas Iscariot? Much or
the success of the Kingdom would
depend on these men who were call
ed to cpostleship.
Lesson VII Reveals to us a new
form of teaching by Jesus the par
able an earthly story with a heav
enly meaning. The great truths of
the Kingdom were expressed in lan
guage and form well adapted to the
understanding of his hearers. Great
and wise men use simple words. In
forty parables Jesus sets forth the
beauty and grandeur of the Kingdom.
One only is explained, "Four Kinds
of Hearers."
Lesson VIII Shows in parables
the growth of the Kingdom. It is un
ostentatious; in secret it develops its
strength anl power. It shines, but
makes no noise. The faithful work
ers sows the seed, goes about his
other business, his daily toil and
leaves the seed to the elements. He
has done his part, God must give rain
and sunshine. But the seed grows.
It is a secret and slow process but,
thank God. it grows.
Lesson IX Shows us the power of
Jesus. After a hard day's work, he
seeks a place to commune with God.
The disciples were told to go home;
they try to cross the lake; a storm
delays them. Jesus sees their peril.
He goes to their aid, walks on the
water, they see him and cry out in
fright. "It is I, be not afraid." He
rebukes the wind, "Peace, be still."
Jesus has power; it is ours for the
asking.
Lesson X Teaches us that Jesus
gives life and health. Death must
give up his prey; disease cannot abide
in the presence of the great Physi
cian. The woman is made whole by
touching hi3 garments; Jairus ane
wife receive their child tack. All
power is given unto him. "And He
is mine."
Lesson XI Shows Jesus' compas
sion for man. The apostles give a re
port of their work; meanwhile the
multitude gathers. They want to
hear Jesus. He preaches a long ser
mon, the day wanes, they are far
from home and they are hungry.
"Give them to eat." Five loaves and
two little fish five thousand people
but all are fed, the fragrants gath
ered and the people dismissed. What
a wonderful picture of Jesus "going
about doing good." The Son of God,
the servant of man. Who follows in
His train?
an operation will have to be resorted
to in order to effect a cure.
Representative George E. Nickles
and wife were home for over the
week end last Saturday and Sunday,
Mr. Nickles looking after some busi
ness matters on Sunday and on their
return they went by Omaha, where
they visited with the sister of Mrs.
Nickles, Mrs. Bertha Shrader, who is
still confined to the hospital, follow
ing two accidents each of which
caused a fracture of her leg, but
which is healing slowly now.
Picking: TJp the Truckers
Frank Mrasek and son Earl were
in Omaha last Monday morning and
report that many truckers who have
their new license plates have., been
checked up and made to pay exces
sive fines because of a few inches ad
ditional length of their trailers or a
few extra pounds in the weight of
their trucks. Mr. Mrasek and son
are weighing their truck on each
wheel and being very careful not to
be caught by a trivial mistake and
assessed a heavy fine.
The Voting Contest
Much Interest is being shown in
the voting contest being conducted by
two Plattsmouth stores and which is
to end Saturday night. $50 in cash
will be awarded to a Plattsmouth or
ganization and a like amount to one
from out of town, and the Murray
Christian church is one of the active
participants in the latter group. A
large number of those interested in
the outcome are making daily trips to
the county seat to register and some
to purchase good3 for the additional
vote value.
Caring: for Offce Alone
Mrs. Ella Barker, manager of the
Murray telephone exchange, has been
looking after the office for some time
alone, being compelled to do so as
the revenue is not sufficient since the
removal of so many phones to enable
her to pay for additional help. Many
young girls here are practicing at
odd times that they may be familiar
with the switch beard when Mrs.
Barker is called away.
Knrray Study Club.

home of Mrs. D. C. Rhoden on Thurs

Merges Into Old Time Blizzard
from the Horthwest.
Those who have r.ot studied the
calendar might not be aware that to
day is the first day of fpring, but
such is the case, despite the blanket
of snow and blizzard lika conditions
that prevail. ,
The Etorm opened Saturday when
a drizzle started to fall and later was
followed by a small electrical storm
that gave intimation of the nearness
of the spring and summer season. In
the night the rain was turned to
snow as the wind whipped to the
north and swept down over the entire
state from the northwest.
The snowfall ranged from four to
ten inches in different sections of
the state and whipped by the wind
it was soon drifting fend closing many
of the east and west roads in this lo
cality. The snow 'was very heavy
north of Omaha and also in the south
part of the state where along the
Kansas-Nebraska line the snow was
reported to be extremely heavy.
In this county there was a great
deal of damage done in the vicinity
of Weeping Water J where telephone
lines were down and made necessary
the call for workmen who were sent
out and called upon to repair the
lines and establish communication.
The roadways were covered with
sieet and snow in many places and
on the roads that run east and west
there were many deep drifts that held
up the travel from the country dis
tricts. PTTTT.ATHEA CLASS MEETS

DIVISION OF SENTIMENT
0U RAILROAD AID FLANS
Official Washington is somewhat
divided on the railroad problem, ad
mittedly the next to be tackled by
President Roosevelt. Some favor a
speedy enactment of relief measures,
similar to those being: considered for
farm relief and unemployment, while
others prefer a slow, deliberate con
sideration of the matter.
Although there has been some dis-
sention on the farm relief bill, it Is
expected to pass In very near its
original emergency status, covering a
one-year trial of withholding land
from production, while a complete
revamping cf existing farm legisla
tion is under way, as the -means of
providing permanent relief from low
price eras. Henry Morgenthau, head
of the farm beard is assisting Secre
tary Wallace with the drafting of
that plan.

Repair Old Shades.
Badly cracked and torn window
shades spoil the effect of an other
wise well curtained window. Often
times it is possible to just shcrten
the shade by cutting off the worn
part, or take the shade off the roller
and reverse it using the top, which
generally is less worn, for the bot
tom.
Worn shades in the sun-room.
kitchen or bathroom may be replaced
by tacking heavy cretonne or muslin
to the roller, with a hem in the bot

be taken off easily for laundering.
Had Successful Machinery Schools.
About one hundred Cass county
farmers attended the two farm ma
chinery and shop schools last week.
The first was held at the Herman
Schweppe farm near Murdock Fri
day and the second at the Roy O.
Cole farm near Mynard, Saturday.
1. D. Wood, extension engineer of
the College of Agriculture, gave the
farmers many valuable tips on the
following subjects: How to make
rope for 7c per lb. of a quality as
good or better than that which you
buy for about 25c; Making halters.
hitches and splices; Sharpening farm
tools such as saws, bits, chisels, scis
sors, shears, etc.; How to do a good
job of soldering without a torch, by
using the storage battery of a car.
On the machinery, Mr. Wood ex
plained the alignment of the cutter
bar, pitman, and all adjustments to
make the machinery run properly.
Most of the binder work was devoted
to ths common troubles the farmer
usually has with timing and tying.
All the different wrong kinds of
knots that binders sometimes tie
were shown and" the causes pointed
out.
Circulars on all the above subjects
were passed out and can be had at
the Farm Bureau office.
The Farm Vegetable Garden.
The management of a farm vege
table garden can be greatly simpli
fied if planned so it can be handled
with horse drawn machinery. Plans,
problems and management of such a
garden are discussed in detail in Ex
tension Circular 1211, "The Farm
Vegetable Garden," which is avail
able at the Farm Bureau office.
Fanners Go to Ag Shop Friday.
About twenty-five farmers from
different communities throughout the
county will attend the all day Forge
School at the Ag College- this week.
The arrangements have been made Dy
the agent for these men to have one
day's instruction under Prof. Run
nails, instructor in shop and forge
work. All of these men have a farm
shop and the school will be of great
help to them.
Plant Potatoes on New Ground.
For best results potatoes should be
planted in ground thr.t has not had
potatoes growing in it for any of the
preceding five years. The so-called
"running out" cf potatoes in central
and southeastern Nebraska is due
usually to a viru3 disease called
"spindle tuber." This disease is so
common in central and soutneasiern
Nebraska that it generally pays to
use new seed irom normwesiern Ne
braska or from northern states each
year. The disease, however, may bo
held in check fairly well by mulch
ing the potato patch after the pota
toes are up with six to eight inche:
of coarse straw. Totatoes grown un
der the mulch will outyield potatoes
grown unde rcultivation in tares out
of five years in central and eastern
Nebraska. Potatoes grown under
straw are also less likely to produce
knobs and growth cracks.
It takes from one-fourth to one
third of an acre to provide enough
potatoes for the average farm family
of five persons. The Irish cobbler
variety is replacing Early Ohio pota
toes ia central and southeastern Ne
braska. Seed potatoes should be cut
into blocky pieces that average 1
to 2 ounces . in weight. Each piece
should have at least one good eye.
Use Lead Arsenate in
Controlling Whits Grabs
White grubs in strawberry beds
and lawns can be controlled with a
fair degree of success by the use of
powdered arsenate of lead. Eight
ounces per one nunarea square ieei
is sufficient for strawberry beds. If
difficulty is experienced in distribut
ing tho lea darsenate powder evenly,
it may be thoroughly mixed with Sev
eral pounds of loose, dry soil or sand
before distributing. In either case it
should be worked as well a3 possible
into the upper few Inches of soil. On

Pull Trash Under With Wire.
Under conditions where there is
considerable trash to plow under, a
coverage wire may help to cover this
trash. One end is fastened to the
plow at such a point as will permit
the wire to drag along the furrow
slice as it is being turned by the
plow bottom. The ether end of the
wire- drags under the furrow slice
and the weight of the n?wly turned
furrow slice holds the wire tight.
Number nine wire is usually used
and is about nine or ten feet in
length.
When properly placed the wire
ho!d3 the trash tight rgainst the
turning furrow slice. When using
the rolling coulter a good way of at
taching the wire is to pas3 the wire
over the coulter bearing, inside the
arm of the yoke, out the under side
of the yoke, and up to the beam.
