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.

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.
The next meeting will be held at
the home of Phyllis Speck July 18.
A delicious lunch was served at
the last two meetings and was en
joyed by all club members.

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
