livering to the Rehmeier elevator.
Mrs. C. T. Edwards was vaccinated

should she be exposed.
E. L. Nelson was a visitor in Lin
coln on last Thursday, where he went
to secure goods for the store and as
well to deliver some produce which
had accumulated in the course of
business.
Charles Roelcfsz was delivering a
large quantity of ear corn to the Rhe
mcicr elevator for the Miller Cereal
company during the past week, being
arr.htcd in the work by a number of
his neighbors.
Turner McKinnon was a visitor in

Oscar Bates, who has been farm
ing a short distance northwest of
Alvo, was taken ill some two weeks
ago, and being a veteran of the World
war, was taken to the U. S. Veterans'
hospital on the O street road east of

erything possible was done for him,
he continued to fail and passed away
there early last week. The remains

ITew Business House
On last Saturday, Elmer Rosenow
opened a grocery and market in the
same room as the postoffice occupies.
The room has been rennished and re
painted, modern shelving and fixtures
installed and other improvements
made to take care of the new busi
ness. A new General Electric refrig
erator has been installed by Albert E.
Barber, of Louisville, a representative
of the Nebraska Power company. It
has a capacity cf thirteen and a half
feet and will care for all the perish
able goods which Mr. Rosenow may
carry. With Mrs. Rosen ow in charge
of the postoffice business and Mr.
Rosenow looking after supplying the
community with foodstuffs, etc., it
would seem that this place of busi
ness will be very popular. Mr. Rose

and respect of all who know him. The

Care is Needed
to Avoid Loss
Thru Mistakes
College cf Agriculture Advises Farm
ers Against Giving up Com and
Hcg-s Altogether.
With community meetings under
the federal corn-hog reduction pro
gram under way in many Nebraska
counties, farmers have been told that
the contract to be offered them later
does not recjuire that signers raise
any corn or hogs in 1934. However,
they must continue to farm the land
signed up and cannot quit farming
and draw benefit payments for corn
and hog reduction.
Administrators at the agricultural
college do not believe that any farm
ers will gD completely out of corn or
hogs, even if the contracts permit
them to do so. They may need the
acreage or hog numbers for a base
in signing up future contracts.
A retiring hog producer, one who
will not farm at all in 1934, can as
sign his hog base to a beginner
starting to farm in 1931. The new
man must live in the same county
and must farm as large a farm as
the retiring producer farmed in
1932-33. Neither the retiring pro
ducer or the new man gets benefit
payments on the hog base, but hte
new producer can raise up to 75 per
cent of his assigned base and then
take advantage of the corn part of
the contract.
The man who started farming for
the first time in 1933 may use the one
year for his hog base. If he farmed
before but had hogs only one year of
1932-33, he must divide his number
of hogs by two to get his base.
How to Use Land.
Regarding the corn part cf the
contract, administrators say land tak
en out of corn under the contract can
not be used to produce a crop to be
marketed either directly or indirect
ly, nor can feed be grown on the
land if it is used instead of feed that
would be grown on other land.
If, for example, a farmer plants
the land taken out of corn to grass or
clover and then uses the pasture for
cattle or hogs, he is marketing the
pasture indirectly thru livestock and
breaking his agreement. If he pas
tures his work horses on the grass or
clover, the horses will not be eating
grass, hay or grain produced on other
land. The farmer woul dtherefore be
relieving other land for the produc
tion of other feed or grains either on
his own farm or icme ether farm. He
would be breaking his contract.
Nebraska corn-hog administrators
cannot see how farmers can get
around these two provisions whicn
have provoked many questions at
county and community meetings.
For all practical purposes, the land
taken out of corn is out of produc
tion for the 1934 harvest.
Many farmers regard the corn
benefit payments as cash rent for the
land taken out of corn. They would
not think of renting some of their
land to an individual for cash and
then raising a crop on the land. They
want the land taken out of corn to bo-
out of production for the year. They
believe that is the spirit of the corn
heg reduction plan.
These farmers intend to seed the
land to clover, alfalfa, permanent pas
ture, plant some trees, fallow some to
kill weeds or store up moisture, anu
in other ways to put the land into
good shape to produce a crop in 1935.
They will use benefit payments to pay
the taxes and interest and help keep
up expenses.
HARRIOT AX IS CALLED SAKE
Dr. Mcnas S. Gregory, chief of the
psychiatric division of Bcllevue hos
pital, testified the banker was men
tally competent to stand trial on an
indictment charging him with loot
ing accounts of depositors in the de
funct Harriman National Bank and
New York. Joseph W. Harriman,
the. banker, was called sane by an
alienist testifying in federal court.
Trust company. Harriman, the alien
ist said, is net insane, has a good
memory, and can concentrate, and
hsi conversation is "coherent, logical
and to the point." But Dr. Gregory
went cn to say that physically there
would be grave danger in submitting
him to the ordeal of a trial.
BDOCK HEMS
Bert L. Phllpit, of Weeping Water,
who sells mineral feeds, was looking
after some business matters in Mur
dock on last Wednesday.
Dr. L. D. Lee was a professional
visiter in Lincoln on last Tuesday,
accompanying Mrs. Henry Heinmann
to the hospital, where she underwent
an operation.
Mrs. A. J. Tool was visiting at
Omaha for the greater portion of the
past week, being a guest at the heme
of her daughter, Mr. and Mrs. George
Work, where she enjoyed the stay
very much.
Henry A. Tool and daughter, Mrs.
O. E. Bradford, were over to Lincoln
last Wednesday, where they were
looking after some business matters
for a short time, they driving over to
the big town in their auto.
I. G. Hornbeik was a business visi
tor in Plattsmouth on last Tuesday,
and while there met with many of
his warm friends in the county seat.
Among them were C. E. Ledgway, W.
G. Kietk and D. O. Dwyer.
Mrs. Henry Schleuter and Mr. and
Mrs. Roy Gorthey were in Lincoln cn
last Monday, where they were visit
ing the patients in the hospital there
from Murdock. Mesdames Weddell,
Sehlaphoff and Heinemann.
Ferdinand Brunkow was a visitor
in Weeping Water on last Tuesday,
where he was attending the corn
hog meeting which was held there.
There were also many others from
this vicinity at the meeting.
Mr. and Mrs. Emil Kuehn were in
Lincoln early last week, where they

ters and also visited with their
friends, Mesdames Henry Heineman,
Weddell and Dan Sehlaphoff, finding
them all feeling better.
Mrs. Albert Bauer went to Tlatts
mouth on last Wednesday, where she
is visiting at the home of her cousin,

joined on Thursday by Mr. Bauer,
when he and Thomas Christian went

iting for seme time at the home of
her son, Harry Gillespie, at North
Loup, where Harry is manager of the
telephone exchange, returned home
on last Saturday, being brought home
by her son, Harry Gillespie, who also
visited here for a few days.
Murdcck Needs a Bank
With the business interests of this
cemmunity, including the large farm
ing territory tributary to the town,
it looks like there is great need of a
bank in Murdock. It also looks like
it would be more desirable to get the
present bank in condition to merit the
new federal guaranty provisions than
to attempt the organizing of a new
bank outright. Let us hope that some
arrangement can be perfected to get
the present bank out of the rut and
operating one hundred per cent once
more. All those interested in the ad
vancement of Murdock and vicinity
should get behind this move, for if
it is not done we may have to go a
long time without having the con
veniences of banking facilities avail
able. Think it over, and be ready to
boost in every way possible toward
attaining the desired end.
At Hospital Now
Mrs. Dan Sehlaphoff, who has been
troubled for seme time with a goiter,
was taken to the Bryan Memorial
hospital in Lincoln, where she re

toration of her health.

Mrs. W. T. Weddell. who was oper
ated on at the Bryan Memorial hos
pital in Lincoln two weeks ago, is re

ten that she will attend the next
meeting of the Royal Neighbors of
America lodge.

Mrs. Henry Heinemann, who was
so seriously injured when a car
struck the one in which she was rid
ing, and who was in the hospital for
a number of weeks and has since

pital at Lincoln last Monday, where

tion and it was reported Wednesday
she had rallied nicely.

great was the joy of manifestants,
