Mr. and Mrs. W. O. Schewe have a
very fine flock of White Wyandotte
chickens which they think are about
the finest birds it is possible to raise.
From appearance, their claim is cor

hens got overly ambitious and laid
an egg which weighed seven ounces
and measured 9 inches around the

Eagle Wins Over Murdock
The basketball fans of Murdock
accompanied the high school team of
this place to Eagle on Tuesday even

teams of the two schools. The game
between the first teams resulted in a
victory for Eagle by a score of 2 S to
14, while the Eagle second team also
beat the Murdock reserves by a score
of 24 to 13. Both were good, clean
contests with the best of feeling and
a splendid time had by all.

HAINS TAKE GAME
Visits Cousin Here
Mr. and Mrs. Emil Kuehn were host
and hostess to four of the cousins of
Mr. Kuehn on last Wednesday, when

colm, and two sisters who are mar
ried and reside in Lincoln, they be
ing Mrs. George Folts and Mrs. Mar
tin Scheidey. All enjoyed the visit
together and the sisters also called on
Rudolph Kuehn and wife as well.
Former Citizen Dies in Omaha
Frank Martin, who ha3 been inter
ested in the advancement of Murdock
ever since the beginning of the town,
after a period of poor health, passed
away at his home in Omaha early last
week at the age of 86 years. Mr.
Martin was first engaged with Henry
Tool in the mercantile line, and later
in both the Murdock Mercantile com
pany and the Bank of Murdock, and
was closely identified with the busi
ness interests of the town for many
years.
A number of people from Murdoch
went to Omaha to attend the funeral
Last evening the Tlattsmouth
Storz basketball team were victims
of the fast and sharpshooting Hain
Electric quintet from Omaha, the
score being 36 to 27 for the visitors
from up the river.
Tlia Storz felt keenly the absence
of Donat, regular center from the
game as he has been an important
cog in the machine and a great force
on the defensive work of the quintet.
R. Vondra and G. Davis of the
visitors were the chief scoring aces
with Teare, former School for the
Deaf star as a close runner.
For the Storz Krejci was the chief
point getter, Runimel who usually
is one of the big shots in the local
scoring, being held to three field
goals.
The first quarter was close, both
teams feeling cut their - opponents
offensive and defensive plays, the visi
tors leading 6 to 4 at the end of the
period. At the half time the visitors
had a score of 20 to 8 against the
Storz.

A Ban on Politic
When the civil works program was
started last fall. President Roosevelt
directed that politics be barred.
In spite of this injunction, Hop
kins has had a great deal of difficulty
with politician?' attempts to control
placing men on jobs
Meanwhile, it was disclosed that
President Roosevelt is withholding
his request for another billion dollars
for relief purposes until it had been
determined on capitol hill whether
the full sum should be requested in
one lum, or it should be sought in
several smaller allotments
Hopkins also announced that he
had approved allotments of 13 mil
lion dollars to be used to purchase
materials in various states
These included: Nebraska, $100,-
000; Iowa, $250,000; Kansas, $170,
000; Missouri, $170,000; South Da
kota, $100,000; Wyoming, $65,000.
To Use Army Officers.
Army officers will be placed in sev
eral of the largest cities of the coun
try a CWA administrators within the
next few days, Hopkins also said.
Hopkins explained that the army
engineer corps has lent the adminis
tration a number of officers, and these
men will be assigned to cities where
there are now no administrators and
to some others where a request has
been made for an army engineer.
Hopkins declined to give the names
of the citiea but said that some of
them are "among the biggest jobs in
the country."
Washington. The republican in
dependents who helped to boost
Franklin D. Roosevelt into the white
house probably will find sympathetic
co-operation at the headquarters of
the democratic national committee
when they come up for election next
fall. How far this co-operation will
extend has not yet been decided, but
it was distinctly indicated by Chair
man Farley of the national commit
tee. Farley said he felt California
voters would re-elect Ssnator Hiram
Johnson. He added that his reference
to Senator Johnson was a personal
one, but that he knew enough about
California "to know that, of course,
ts voters will return Hiram Johnson
to the senate."
Two other progressive republican
senators, up for re-election this fall,
are in a position similar to that of
the California senator, who broke
with his party to support President
Roosevelt. They are Senator LaFol
lette. Wisconsin, and Senator Cut-
ing, New Mexico, and the benedic
tion of the Roosevelt administration
probably will be welcome by both,
particulaily LaFollette, who appar
ently is facing a hard contest.
Altho it was said the. administra
tion had apparently not formulated
a hard and fast policy with regard
to the elections in November, it was
pointed out that support of both La
Follette and Cutting would be in line
with the course the president hai
pursued since he entered the white
house. This was asserted by party
members to be the permanent align
ment of the liberal sections of the
weet and northwest, and elsewhere,
too, with the democratic party.
Some liberals grew concerned over
the fact that the postmaster general
supported the candidacy of Joseph
McKee, independent, in New York
against Fiorella LaGuardia, an inde
pendent republican of long standing.
It was pointed out, however, that La
Guardia h?.d never formally announc
ed support of Mr. Roosevelt during
the n residential campaign, as had
the California, New Merico and Wis
consin senators. McKee also took a
licking in New York. On its face this
would lead to careful consideration
before the administration allowed its
name to be brought into another such
contest.
In some circles close to the admin
istration, it was felt, too, that the
reorganization of the democratic na
tional committee might have signi
ficance beyond the move to purge
politics and government.
Beyond saying he was "gratified
and deeply appreciative" of the post
master general's statement, Senator
Johnson did not comment. Friends
of LaFollette said it also had been
suggested that he run as a demo
crat and that he had given this con
sideration. It was regarded as more
likely, however, that he would enter
the republican primary or a third
party primary.
At the same time democratic lead
ers in congress indicated plainly that
the administration was not adverse
to spanking some party members, who
were regarded as having given aid
and comfort to the enemy by oppos
ing vital points of the administra
tion program. None of the demo
cratic senators up for re-election this
year apparently fall in that category,
but it might apply to several house
members, all of whom arr candidates
this fall.
Manley News Items

recently moved to the rooms over the
post office.

awaiting trial in the district court on
Heath cf Mrs. Charles Murphy
The death of Mrs. Charles Murphy,
which occurred Monday, January 21,
at St. Catherine's hospital in Omaha,
came as a distinct shock to this community.
Mrs. Murphy, who has been in ill
health ever since the tragic death of
her son, Humphrey last September,
had gone to the hospital for rest and
treatment. A sudden change for the
worse took place on Tuesday of last
week and her family and close rela
tives were at once summoneJ. From
that time until her death in the early
morning of the following Monday
they were constantly by her bedside,
doing all that loving care could sug
gest for her comfort.
Funeral services were held Wed
nesday, January 24th, at St. Patrick's
church in Manley. Solemn requiem
high mass was sung by Rev. William
Murphy, cousin of the deceased, as
sisted by Rev. Father Agius, of St
John's church at Pl&ttsmouth, and
the pastor, Rev. Patrick Harte.
A most beautiful and touchin
tribute was paid the many noble
qualities of the deceased in the short
but affecting sermon given by Father
Harte at the close of the mass. The
celebrant of the mass was assisted by
the Manley choir. Two solos were
beautifully sung by Miss Anna Rauth
Interment was made in the College
Hill cemetery.
Mary Anne Tighe Murphy was born
near Toronto, Canada, September 14,
1S59. From there she came, as a
young girl, with her parents to Clin
ton county, Iowa. Later the family
moved to Cass county, Nebraska.
In November of 1881, the deceas
ed was united in marriage to Charles
Murphy, the young couple going to
live cn the farm three and a half
miles from Manley, which has re
mained the family home for forty
eight years.
Mrs. Murphy is survived by six
sens, John T., of Weeping Water; j

PRAISE BIBLE LESSONS
Readers of Journal give
expression of their apprecia
tion of the work of L. Neit
zel, prominent Bible student
and teacher of Murdock.
K-r
Plattsmouth, Nebr.,
Jan. 23, 1934.
Dear Sir:
I wish most heartily to enter my
protest against the idea of elimin
ating from your pages the writeup
on the International Sunday school
lessons by Mr. Neitzel cf Murdock.
It is one of the most Important fea
tures of the Journal both for indi
viduals and the community. It is a
most helpful and much needtd article,
for which there are many who look
forward to its appearance every
week. Very cincerely,
M. M. NICKUM.
Plattsmouth, Nebr.,
Jan. 24, 1934.
Gentlemen:
I, for one of many, should be very
sorry to have you entertain the idea
of taking from the Journal the very
helpful serial each week, of the In
ternational S. S. lessons.
By many it is considered the most
important to the community, that you
print. Respectfully,
MRS. R. E. YOUNG.
Another important activity spoken
of in the marked articles is the Boy
Scout cabin being erected by CWA
labor, the same as here, and we note
a meeting of all civic organizations
was being called to consider plans for
raising the necessary material money.
Here, that problem has been largely
solved by contributions totaling near
ly $250 from the Rotary club and T.
II. Pollock.
The Lions club of Ilobart is spon
soring the birthday ball for Presi
dent Roosevelt next Tuesday night.
and has been making great prepara
tions to make that a gala occasion.
One of the interesting pietures was
that cf the Burlington's new stream
line speed train, which will soon be
placed in service.
The Legion was holdings its mem
bership banquet, with the losing side
playing host to the winners and a
whole barbecued pig was among the
items on the menu. The Legion Aux
iliary was sponsoring a dance last
Saturday night at the Legion hall.
Among the items in the local col
umn of the Index, we quote: "Mr. and
Mrs. Garold Holcomb, of Kankakee,
111., Mr. and Mrs. Fred Lugsch, of
Plattsmouth, Nebraska, and William
Lugsch, of Glenwood, Iowa, were
guests on Sunday of Mr. and Mrs.
