PAGE TOWEL PLATTSHOUTH SEMI - WEEKLY JOUBNAL MR ITE1S J , Mr. and Mrs. Henry Gakemeler weie enjoying: a visit with one of their daughters and her husband. Rev. and Mrs. 'Wolters, of Arlington, near Fremont. Thomas Christian, who has been making his home at Eagle, but more recently at Louisville, is now living a mile west of Murdock, having moved there but a short time ago. C. E. Helmers, formerly an em ployee of the Bank of Murdock, but now residing in Omaha, was spend ing a few days in Murdock last week, calling on his friends here and look ing after some business matters. The Murdock fire department has organized a kittenball team and if they are as good at playing this game as they are at fighting and prevent ing fires, it will be no use for the players of surrounding towns to try and wrest a game from the cham pion players here. Due to the activity of the chicken thieves of late, many of the farmers of this vicinity are providing them selves with heavy artillery in order to be prepared for the next raid on their henhouses. So, we would not be surprised, if this practice keeps up to learn of someone being filled pretty full of lead. Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Tool were spending some time in Sioux City, Iowa, where their daughter, Mrs. W, P. Meyers and family reside. They went up a week ago Saturday and returned the latter part of last week. "While they were away, Douglass was looking after the store as well as acting as housekeeper at home. Eugene Ault, of Plattsmouth, was a visitor in Murdock for the day last Wednesday, and was a guest while here of his aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. O. E. McDonald and had a very good visit. He had been expecting to get to visit with his cousin. Bob bie McDonald, but found the latter away, as he has accepted a position on a farm near Benkelman, out in the southwestern part of the state. Iopg, even over golf and every other kind of amusement, is up against tough opponent now, as kittenball Is being introduced here. Of course the devotees of barnyard golf will not give it up over night or anything like that, and there are still a lot who pitch the quoits daily, and an other group that comprise the audi ence, but nevertheless kittenball is gaining in favor and Murdock has a fine team that is meeting those from neighboring towns with a great deal of success. Men, women, boys and girls are all trying their hand at this new game and seme to like it. It may be horseshoe pitching is doom ed, but we scarcely think so, and wil not believe it until we actually see it pushed aside for the. newer game Murdock has too many expert shoe tossers for that. Showing Nice Increase The reinstallation of discarded tel ephones and addition of new ones has been going forward here with good success as a part of the Lin coln Telephone company's "Business Recovery" campaign, being conduct ed throughout the territory it serves in southeastern Nebraska. The quota of ' InsfcaTfat'ioh's given to the operators of the Murdock exchange was twenty-three and that number has been exceeded while the campaign has some time yet to run. The telephone is a modern day necessity and homes that have tried to get along without it in order to help beat the depres sion have found the inconvenience worth much more than the small amount involved, and now, with the prices of grain and farm products Rooking up, many are putting their phones back in. Entirely Cleaned This Time Someone somewhere, or rather a greater number than that, has a de cided taste for chicken and last week made a second raid on the hennery of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Neitzel, getting the 125 chickens that were left from a former raid and cleaning out the chicken house and yards. Brother Dies in Canada Last week, Lawrence Race, the garage man, returned from a trip to Canada, where he and a brother who resides in Elmwood, were called by the death of a third brother at Strat ford, Ontario. The younger brother. Alfred Race, who had been ill for some time, underwent an operation of great severity, and which resulted in his death. When the brothers here were notified of the serious condition of their brother at Stratford, they de parted at once and remained for the funeral of the unfortunate young man, returning home last week Mr. Race and family have the sym pathy of their many old friends in Nebraska in this their hour of sor row. To Celebrate 50th Anniversary No, this is not a wedding anniver sary, but a golden jubilee for the church at Ithica, which was found ed by the Rev. Louis Neitzel, . who preached there for two years from 1882 to 1884, and from there was sent to Omaha, going then to Madison and later to Milford, when he quit the ministry and came to the new town of Murdock just being started, and staked out a place for an exca vation for the basement of a new store, that being in the year 1891. So, he has grown up with the town, still continuing in business here, where he has spent so many happy days, and withal some prosperous ones as well. Now, after 50 years, the church at Ithica is to have a three day cele bration and Mr. Neitzel is to make an address to the congregation fifty years after the institution of the church and the erection of the first modest church building there half century ago. Mr. and Mrs. Neitzel are arrang ing to go to Ithica for the three day celebration, which will be htld on August 4th, 5th and 6th, and are ooking forward to a most pleasant visit. .air. meitzei came to Murdock on April 7, 1891, immediately beginning the erection of his store build itig, and on June 30, 1891, moved his family here, they having made their home here ever since.

Warren Phone 62 SUFFERS FROM POISON Mrs. Jesse Green, who has been taking care of Mrs. Frances Purdy in her long illness, was herself taken down Thursday by a very severe case of poison oak and which made neces sary her giving up her work. Mrs. Green has had this affliction for some time but it has become so severe that it was necessary for her to remain at her home. HEBE FROM CALIFORNIA From Saturday's Daily - , A. B. Tucker, of Pasadena, Cali fornia, was in the city today to look over the city and ( visit with the friends of many years ago. Mr. Tuck er is a former resident of Nehawka where he has relatives still making their homes and where he will spend the time visiting. Mr. Tucker de parted from Nehawka in 1910 and has since made his home on the west coast. He is engaged in the general contracting business at Pasadena and where he has been very successful. CLUB MEETING ASKS FOB DIVORCE In the office of the clerk of the district court an action has been filed entitled Leona Dowler vs. Arley Dowler, in which the plaintiff asks for a decree of divorce from the de fendant. The parties are residents of Weeping Water. The Six Sewing Sallies met at the home of Fred Fornoff June 23. They judged dust cloths. Marie Lentz got first prize; Phyllis Speck second and Freda Fornoff third. They were to make laundry bags. The next meeting was held at the home of Marie Lentz. There we read how to make an apron.

Cass Connty Hard to Beat Some people think Iowa the best state, others think Illinois the one, while some have still different ideas about the matter. Be that as it may, when it comes to eastern Nebraska, It is nard to beat tnis country as to crops. Cass county is the garden sept of this entire territory and pro duces the finest of crops. It is an old saying that "It always rains in Cass county fifteen minutes before it is too late," and this year was no exception,-for things looked like there would be no crops for a while. Will Rueter was doubtful if his wheat would yield twenty bushels to the acre, but when the time came to har vest It and the combine was put in operation, the yield was exactly 35 bushels to the acre. An po it . has been with many others. Cass coun ty is stili n the funnlpg and, able to produce her share of the crops to feed the world- KitteafcjH LejtJ j Hp ' The matter o pitching b?ri??4??f in Murdock, ; that fieH ttjot for The Jonas Johnson home on Win- tersteen Hill must be sold in order to settle up estate.
