Progress is Slow
Mrs. Henry Ileinemann. who has
been compelled to lie on a rack built
especially for her, during the past six
weeks, which held her body rigid and
far frcm comfortable, on last Mon
day was removed from the rack and
placed in bed, which was a very wel
come change as compared with the
hard frame of the rack that has been
her companion for so long a time.
However, the bed is not all comfort,
either, as it is reinforced with boards
placed under that poition of the body
where her bones were fractured, in
order that they may ba held in place
until they have knitted more com
pletely. She will be kept on this
improvized bed for another four or
five weeks, after which the attending
physicians promise she will be able
to sit up in bed for a time and still
later may leave her bed. She is anx
iously locking forward to the day
when she may be up again. Her many
friends sympathize with her and also
trust her recovery will be complete
as it is certainly a long, drawn out
wait.

Thanksgiving day, when the Murray

William Earl Xewkirk was born on
June 24. ISC, at Shopiere, Wiscon
sin, where he spent the early years of
boyhood and later moved with his
parents to Mt. Pleasant, Iowa. On
February 26, 18 84, he was married" to
Mis3 Surrelda Linch, at Mount Pleas
ant. This proved to be a happy union,
which was strengthened and blessed
with each passing year.
During the almost fifty years of
their wedded life together, they be
came so much a part of each other
that they were literally one in mind
and spirit. This was vividly por
trayed and proven a few years ago,
when Mrs. Xewkirk, due to injuries,
was taken to the hospital for several
months. During this separation, es

Forty-five years ago, in 1SSS, he

Over forty of these years were spent
in Cass county, in Alvo and Green

business.
His health began to fail a number
of years ago and death came on Fri

of his death, he was 72 years and 5

Forest Fires
Announcement Shows That National
Parks' Loss J.3 Low Chiefly
Dae to Lightning.
Washington, Xov. 30. The office
of national parks announced today
that, this year, for the first time,
lightning and other antural causes
were responsible for more fires in na
tional parks than matches, cigarets
and cigars, the previous greatest of
fenders. Of 223 fires in ths national parks,
94 resulted from lightning, while only
71 were blamed on careless smoking.
A. B. Cammerer, director, said.
"Although there were nearly 5,400,
000 acres of timber in national park3
and monuments, only 2.3S2 acres
were damaged this year by fire, and
159 of the total number of fires were
extinguished before they spread be
yond a quarter acre. Xot a single
fire cost as much a3 five thousand dol
lars, and in only three cases did fire
fighting expenditures exceed two
thousand dollars. The government
spent $25 or less in extinguishing
190 fires."
C'l m )i"f.T" c? Tl t T1 n r.roconfrt of
civilian conservation corps men ir
the parks assisted greatly in main
taining the remarkably low fire loss
totals and in holding fire fighting ex
penditures to $24,623 for the season.
DISHWASHER CLAIMS MONEY
Laguna Beach, Calif. Thanksgiv
ing clay saw a cafe dishwasher, Gil
bert Broking, on his way to England
to claim an estate of two farms and
a manor near Xewcastle and an in
come of 1,200 pounds a year. The
day's mail, besides a variety of let
ters proposing marriage, brought him
a check for $150 from a friend in
Xew York to he might have trans
portation money there.
Broking, who did not have enough
money to make the trip by more com
fortable means, at fir:-t had planned
to hitch-hike. Receiving tho check,
he left for Los Angeles, where he-
planned to board an airplane for the
cast. Executors of the estate recent
ly located Broking here and told him
of his inheritance.
SEES. BETTER DAYS C0MNG
Tarrytown, X. Y. John D. Rocke
feller, sr., sufficiently recovered from
an attack of the grippe to eat a tur
key dinner, told the country "better
days are coming."
"As I stated on my birthday I have
just begun to live," said the 94 year
old capitalist. "Let's not forget that
America has always been the land of
plenty and opportunity and that bet
ter days are coming. I have always
been optmistic. If I have to stay here
all winter I will enjoy myself as If I
were in Florida." Rockefeller's prac
tice of journeying south for the win
ter has been deferred thus far owing
to his illness.
