Davis Making; Improvements at Farm Gust "McNurlin was a visitor for the day last Tuesday at the home of his friend, John M. Cornelly, where they enjoyed a very fine dinner pre pared by Mr. Cornelly's housekeeper Mr. Cornelly recently purchased a building in Alvo which he has had torn down and the materials remov ed to his farm a few miles south of town. He has been using it in the manufacture of some chicken houses, as well as making additions to the barn and doing some general repair work about the place. This looks. like Mr. Cornelly has gotten tired of living alone and will expect to have things more comfortable after having made the various changes at the farm now under way. Giving Many Employment The work which is being done in the different communities over the county with CWA funds allotted by the government has provided employ ment for a large number of men who had heretofore been unable to find steady work. The state park project at Louisville has afforded employment to a force of about thirty men daily. and in order to spread the benefits of this work over a larger territory, ar rangements has been made to stagger the force, using men from Louisville and vicinity on alternate weeks and men from Greenwood and this part of the county on succeeding weeks. The past week has been Greenwood's turn to furnish men and among those sent to work on this job were D. S. Rogers. Everett Cope, Varl McBride, Gust Brackhagge, W. S. Karns, Paul Kel !ey, Art Anderson, Carl Palmquist, George Hansen, Clifford Homan. Zane Blauvelt, Vern Stewart, Robert Sweem, George Lever, Roy Richards, Robert Casey and Al Rouse. This week wil be Louislville's turn again, but the following week Greenwood men will return to work. Men are limited to 30 hours per week and the pay is 40 cents per hour. The apportionment of CWA funds to this project is sufficient to con tinue the work for some ten weeks. lefion Elects Officers The Greenwood American Legion post, known all over the 9tate as one of the livest Legion posts in a small town In this part of the country, met last Tuesday night and looked after the business calling them together.

L. Hall, sergeant at arms; Dewey Headley, chaplain; Ray McNurlin and Oscar Reese, service officers; P. L. Hall, historian. The Hs Seem to Have It Tes, indeed, the IPs did have it, for the members of the L. C. C. whose names commence with H were select ed to foster the meeting of the card club and Eupper which occurred on last Tuesday evening, the committee being composed of the Halls, Head leys, Howards and Hobsons. They chose a seven o'clock dinner as being best suited to their plans and this was followed by a most enjoyable session at cards. High scores were wen by Mrs. Bucknell and Evan Armstrong. Drew Some Gocd Cliecks The wheat checks alloted on a basis cf curtailment of acreage for the com ing year, which was signed by many of the farmers residing in this vicin ity, are now arriving. It is reported that two of the largest checks pre sented to Cass county farmers came to wheat growers of this vicinity, ag gregating slightly over a thousand dollars. It is nice to get these checks now, even before the 1934 crop has fairly started through the rigors of the winter season ahead and when no one can prophesy whether the wheat crop will be bountiful or a partial failure. The money for the payment of this bonus is raised from the processing tax on wheat and paid for ultimately by the consuming public. The plan is aimed to raise the price of wheat by curtailing production, or bringing the supply and demand more nearly together. Enjoyable Family Eeunion A family reunion was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Ether- edge a week ago Sunday, the occasion being in honor of Mrs. Etheredge's grandchildren who came as a surprise visit from California on Thanksgiving morning.

This was vividly portrayed and proved a few years ago, when Mrs. Newkirk due to injuries was taken to the hos pital for reveral months. During this separation, especially at first, he was a pathetic figure. He was completely lost. A part of his very life was missing. Today the picture has changed. He is gone and his going has left a va cant place in the heart of his com panion and in the hearts of the mem bers of his family, which can never be filled. Forty-five years ago, in 1SS8, he and his family moved to Nebraska. Over 40 of these years were spent in Cass county in Alvo and Greenwood, where he was engaged in business. His health began to fail a number of years ago and death came on Fri day, Nov. 24th, 1S23. At the time of his death he was 72 years, 5 months old. He leaves to mourn hi3 death, Lis wife; one son, Clyde of Greenwood; four daughters, Mrs. Del Pailing of Byron, Nebr.; Mrs. Minnie Kimberly of Long Beach, Calif; Mrs. Grace Pailing of Greenwood; and Mrs. Ce cile Lee of Murdock, Nebr.; fourteen grandchildren and three ge rat-grand children, beside many other relative and friends.
