Funeral of Shirley Webber The funeral of the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. A. Webber was Sarah Elizabeth Whiteman Mrs. Sarah E. Whiteman was born in 1867 in Indiana, where she lived during her girlhood days, but came to Nebraska when a young woman. Her maiden name was Sarah Elizabeth Fetteruff, and she was united in mar riage to Mr. Ephriam Tucker on Aug ust 18, 1884. He died five years later. Some time afterwards, she was united in marriage to John White- man, who passed away in 1918. Mrs. Whiteman has resided in this county for many years and has been a kind and loving mother and a good citi zen of the community. She had not been in good health for some time. She leaves eight children to mourn her departure, they being William held last Saturdav morninc from the Christian church, the sermon being Tucker an E Tucker, residing in delivered by the Rev.

Another son, John, passed away tege preceded to Thurman, Iowa, at which place interment was made. The friends here provided cars and aided the parents in every way possible. The sympathy of the many friends of this little girl and her parents go out to the latter in their hour of sorrow. Whose Gooseberries A certain man of this vicinity has rented ground for pasture at a cost of $7 per month. Now it happens that there grows on the land, besides the grass consumed by his cattle, a number cf gooseberry bushes. These are a source of attraction to the boys and girls from town who go into the pasture and pick the berries without asking permission or so much as even saving "Thank you." It would seem that the parents could do a fine thing by instructing the lads and lassies that the berries belong to the man who pays rent on the pasture and should be left unmolested. Found Tough Going On last Sunday night, R. D. Taylor and Frank Trotter., with their two trucks assayed to deliver a shipment cf cattle for Eugene Nutzman to the stock yards at South Omaha, and some five years ago. The funeral of thi3 excellent woman was held at the Methodist church at Nehawka, being conducted by the Rev. W. A. Taylor, of Union. Interment was in the Mt. Pleasant cemetery. Mrs. Whiteman was a wonderful woman, a member of the Daughters of Rebekah, Royal Neighbors cf America, the Nehawka Woman's club and the Legion Auxil iary. The Hobson Funeral Home of Weeping Water cared for the body, taking it to Weeping Water and re turning for the funeral.

A $5,000,000 loan will be asked of the federal govern ment within the next few weeks to finance the Loup liver power pro Ject in Nebraska, it was announced by Harold Kramer of Columbus, sec retary of the Loup liver public pow er district. Kramer explained he wou'd confer with various officials in Washington, .but would not apply for a loan until Fred Albert, Colum bus engineer, arrives to present the project to federtl engineers. "Whether funds will be asked from the Reconstruction Finance corpor ation as a direct loan, or whether it will be asked under the Wagner bill for splf-liouidating projects, is not certain. Kramer said. Cnder Wag ner's bill, 30 percent of the sum used for labor and materials would be an outright srant or "donation," Kra mer explained. He explained the dis trict hopes to prove its project self- liquidating by presenting contracts with existing distribution plants municipal and private, showing they will purchase power from the dis trict. Between 1.500 and 1.700 men would be employed for two years in construction of the project, Kramer said, while 75 men would be employ ed permanently in it smaintenance, The project involves construction of a dam three miles west of Genoa on the Loup river, which would divert water from the steady flowing Loup into power channels. Just north of Monroe one power plant would be built, with a 26 foot drop in the chan nel. The main plant would be three mils enorth of Columbus, at a 100 foot drop. Arthur Mullen of Omaha, demo cratic national committeeman, will assist in securing the loan, Kramer aid. Kramer is setting up tempor ary headquarters in the office of Rep resentative Howard.
