Iowa, where they were married by
the Rev. Henry DeLong, who held
the record of marriage services in
the middlewest.
Since their marriage Mr. and Mrs.
Kaufmann have made their home
here and it was a pleasure for the
many friends to join in this happy
anniversary.

to the music of Louie Kostka and
this proved a most popular diver
sion while others of the party spent
the evening in visiting and a general
good time.
In honor of the event Mr. and Mrs.
Kaufmann received a number of
handsome and attractive presents to
remind them of the happy anniver
sary that they have passed.
At the close of the evening a

sion and to bring to the close a very
happy event.

Mr. and Mrs. Dan Ruetter and the
family were over to Murdock last
Wednesday afternoon, where they
were attending the wedding of Miss
Esther Haertel and Mr. Carl Meyer-
jurgen. The young couple will drive
to the west coast on their wedding
trip.
The vicinity of Alvo was blessed
with a bountiful rain on Tuesday of
last week, which was accompanied
by some wind and hail. Some damage
was done by the hail. The rain ex
tended only as far west as the county
line, but there was plenty of it in
Cass county.
W. H. Warner and nephew, Roy,
of Lincoln, drove over to Platts
mouth last Wednesday night, where
they spent the time at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. C. II. Warner,
going especially to see Mr. Warner,
who has been very ill at his home
there.
There was joy at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Ted McCartney when there

den, it being southeastern Nebraska
night and a large number of Cass
county folk3 were present to enjoy
the show.
B. L. Appleman suffered the loss of
a very fine cow Tuesday and on the
same day Dan Rueter lost one of his
best horses. The animal became sick
as he was driving along the road, and
although they stopped immediately
and unhitched the ailing horse, it
was dead within a few moments and
before they were able to get it en
tirely unharnessed.
Simon Rehmeier had an experience
when the rain came Tuesday, as he
had a large number of young chick
ens that did not know enough to get
in out of the rain, and so Simon and
his wife had to go out and round
them up. They got wet, as did also
the chicks, and when they had got
ten them all in they had the bath
room well filled.
Miss Ruth Breehm. of Syracuse,
was over to give the High school
band their regular weekly period of
instruction. The band is furnishing
the free concerts which are being put
on by the business men of Alvo and
all the members are taking interest
in the work and striving to perfect
New York. Tho widow of the
notorious Jack Diamond was found
shot to death in her Brooklyn apart
ment Friday night, a year and a half
after her gangster husband was slain
in an Albany hotel. The body of the
0-year old woman, whose maiden
ame was Alice K. Schiffer, was dis
covered on the living room floor by
Charles Hunter, superintendent of
the building, to whom neighbors ex
pressed the belief something was
wrong. The medical examiner found
a bullet wouujl in her right temple
and determined she had been dead
since early Wednesday.
Mrs. Diamond's dress was torn up
the back and chairs in the living
room were overturned. On a table
in the kitchenette were three coffee
cups, leading polic to believe two per
sons were with her at the time of
the shooting. Two or three bullet
holes were found in the walls of the
apartment, which is in a substantial
residential district. Questioning of
other occupants of the building by po
lice failed to bring out any informa
tion about the shots or a quarrel that
officers said apparently preceded the
shooting.
Neighbors said the last they had
seen of Mrs. Diamond was Tuesday
night, when she was out playing
bridge with friends. She left the
party, they said, a few minutes after
midnight. Mrs. Diamond, who occu
pied the apartment under the name
of Alice Nenny, had lived alone there
since last August. Her name seldom
had been connected with her hus
band's gang activities. Diamond was
more frequently accompanied in pub
lic by Marian Kiki Roberts, a show
girl. Diamond was shot to death Dec.
18, 1931, in an Albany hotel during
the waning hours of a party celebrat
ing his acquittal the night before on
a kidnaping charge. Mrs. Diamond
went to Albany, returned to New
iork with the body, arranged the
funeral and then vanished again from
the public eye.
Dan Schlaphoff and wife suffered
the loss of some thirty-eight chick
ens which perished in the storm on
last Tuesday.
Bert L. Philpot, of Weeping Water,
was in Murdock on last Wednesday
afternoon and was looking after some
business matters.

laphoff and John J. Gustin.
The home of Mr. and Mrs. August
Kupke was made happy on last Sun
day by the arrival of a boy who came
to reside with this excellent couple.
Cross Breed

is Advocated
Kansan Says That It Improves the
Eggs, Their Hatchabihty,
and Growth.
Experimental work at 'the Kansas
State college shows that cross-breeding
of poultry develops an improve
ment In hatchability, chick mortality,
rate of growth an degg production,
Prof. D. C. Warren of that institu
tion told Nebraska people gathered
at the University of Nebraska col
lege ofagriculture for their thirteenth
annual poultry field day.
"Crossbred or hybrid poultry will
appeal exclusively to the poultrymen
whose only source of Income from
poultry is meat and eggs," Warren
declared. "It will not fit well into
the program of a poultryman who de
rives income from the breeding stock
and hatching eggs. Cross breeding
has special advantages for the pro
duction of broilers.
"It has been for several years
known among animel breeders that
vigor and sturdincss are obtained
from the crossing of distantly re
lated forms. The mule is theb est
known example of this practice.
"In England the crossbreeding of
poultry has been practiced on a large
scale for many years, ome poultry-
men have the impression that the
production of hybrids is only a re
version to mongrel breeding but the
hybrid is the result of as definite a
system of breeding as the purebred.

Washington, D. C. June 29. A
basis of agreement between manufac
turers and labor for inclusion in the
textile industry's code of fair com
petition was being sought tonight by
the national recovery administration.
With the first hearing under the
attempt of the government to regu
late labor conditions virtually at an
end, reports circulated freely of hid
den moves to compromise and put the
code into effect speedily.
The hearing ran out of witnesses
this afternoon after two and one-half
days and recessed until tomorrow.
Hits Control Clause
Spokesmen for both labor and the
employers said no formal negotia
tions were under way, but the pos
sibility of a compromise that might
raise the minimum wage somewhat to
meet the objections of labor but keep
the 40-hour work week proposed by
the operators was being discussed in
formally. The code a3 now drafted provides a
$10 a week minimum in the south for
the 40-hour week and $11 in the
north.
Flint Garrison, speaking for the
wholesale dry goods institute, which
he said represented. 80 , per cent of
this business, asked for elimination
of the clause providing for adjust
ments of contracts if increased costs
result from the code.
Opposes 40-Hcur Week
Miss Lucy R. Mason, general sec
retary of the National Consumers'
league, asserted the minimum wages
proposed were too low and said they
"would merely result in removing the
cotton textile industry from the reg
ulations of the antitrust laws."
John L. Barry, representing the
New Hampshire Federation of Labor,
contended that the proposed 40-hour
week would not greatly restore em
ployment in that state. World-Herald.

been visitinir the World's Fair in
Chicago, on their return stopped in
Murdock to visit with the father of
Mrs. Conley, A. C. Depned. A most
enjoyable visit was had by the father
and daughter.
The Storm of Tuesday
For some time nearly everybody
has been wishing that it might rain,
and so with the multitude of wishes
came an abundance of rain, for in
some instances there was as much as
six and some even claimed eight
inches of rain. At the home of Fred
Stock, Sr., there was a water tank in
the yard that was emcty before it
started to rain and when the rain
was over the tank had six and a half
inches of water in it. In some in
stances hail cut the corn quite badly.
Two bridges were washed out near
Murdock and traffic was interfered
with considerably on these roads.
Suffers Fractured Rib
While Mr. and Mrs. II. R. Schmidt
accompanied by Mrs. Sarah Winkler
and little daughter were driving in
Lincoln, a parked auto obscured the
stop sign and the car driven by Mrs.
Winkler ran into a restricted inter
section at 33rd and A streets with
the result that all in the Winkler
car were more or less injured. The
cars were very badly damaged, they
running through a fence into a po
tato patch. Mrs. H- R. Schmidt had
a rib fractured and was taken to a
hospital, but later sent home to
Murdock, where she is getting alonj
nicely.
