WHAT THE TREES TEACH
I am taught by the Oak to be
rugged and strong
In defense of the right, in de
fiance of wrong.
I have learned from the Maple,
that beauty to win
The love of all hearts must have
sweetness within.
The Beech with its branches
wide spreading and low.
Awakes in my heart hospitality's
glow.
The Pine tells of constancy. In
its sweet voice.
It whispers of hope till Bad mor
tals rejoice.
T ; i :.: fiTTTrilfT.
The nut-bearing trees teach that
'neath manners gruff
May be found "sweet kernels" as
in their caskets rough.
The Birch, in its wrappings of
silvery gray.
Shows that beauty needs not to
make gorgeous display.
The Ash, having fibers tenacious
and strong.
Teaches me firm resistance, to
battle v.ith wrong.
The Aspen tells me with its
quivering leaves.
To be gentle to every sad crea
ture that grieves.
The Elm teaches me to be pliant
yet true;
Though bowed by rude winds,
it still rises anew.
The Lombardy Poplars point up
ward in praise.
My voice to kind Heaven they
teach me to raise.
I am taught generosity, bound
less and free,
By showers of fruit from the
dear Apple tree,
, " i sf i tm , lev
Sua
The Cherry tree blushing with
fruit cf crimson red.
Tells of God's free abundance
that all may be fed.
In the beautiful Linden, so fair
to the sight,
This truth I discern; It is in
wardly white.
The firm-rooted Cedars, like sen
tries of old,
Show that virtues deep-rooted
may also be gold.
(Helen O. Hoyt.)
$26,000 FIRS AT FREMONT
Fremont, Neb. Between fifty and
sixty Fremont residents were thrown
out of work Sunday night when the
plant of the Jerpe Commission com
pany, wholesale poultry house, was
damaged by fire. Officials of the com
pany said the loss amounted to $26,-
000. Company representatives said
the plant employed eighty persons,
but that only about thirty will be
retained pending rebuilding of the
plant next spring.
Stock destroyed included 25";,000
pounds of poultry ready for the east
ern market and $7,000 worth of pack
ing boxes. The poultry was valued
at ?3,500 and the damage to the
building estimated at more than $15,
000. About 60,000 pound3 of live poul
try was saved from the flames. Origin
of the fire was not determined im
mediately, but company officials be
lieved it started in a packing room.
Mynard Club
Has Fine Record
of Achievement
Regular Meeting Held and Review
of Fine Work That Club Has
Carried Through CWA.
The Mynard Community club held
their regular monthly meeting on
Friday evening at their hall in My
nard, beins presided over by Lenore
Cook, vice-president, which was large
ly attended ry the members and their
families as well as a goodly number
of visitors.
A large part of the meeting was
taken up by the business meeting as
there were quite a number cf im
portant items calling the attenticn
of the club. Among these were facts
and figures presented by Will Nolte,
assisted by Roy Cole, showing the
tremendous increase in cocoanut oil
importations, which con.es in duty
free, from the Philippine Islands and
which, as was shown to the audience
by chart, amounted to 0 3 2 million
pounds during the period from 19C0
to 1934. This amount of oil, it was
snown, would displace the laid from
23 million hogs or nearly one-third
of the total annual production ol
hogs in the United States. It was
unanimously voted that the presi
dent of the club appoint a committee
to draft a set of resolution:-, to be
sent to our congressmen and our two
senators, calling their attention to
these facts and imploring them to
take the necessary action to remedy
tlvi serious situation which is un
dermining our dairy and hog indus
try. Will Nolte. II. A. McKelvey and
Roy O. Cole were appointed on this
committee.
During the business mcrtir.g a
vote of thanks and appreciation was
given Wm. A. Robertson, attorney
of Piattsmouth, who ha; fo v.iliingly
donated his time in giving legal ad
vice and drawing up the necessary
instruments for the club for their
vaiious transactions.
Due to the resignation of Presi
dent-elect Jean Spar.gler, it was mc-j
ssary to have an election to fill the
vacancy; this being done and the
votes counted it was found that Sher
man Cole was elected . president of
the club for the ensuing year. Mem
bers of the various committees will
be announced later.
After the business cf the club was
transacted the meeting was turned
over to Raymond Cool: as chairman
of entertainment for the evening.
Several numbers were rendered by
the Mynard Community Concert or
chestra which was enjoyed by the
audince. Two beautiful vocal duets
were given by Misses Dorothy Yost
and Florence Lancaster with Miss
Margaret Long at the piano. These
talented young ladies are from Mur
ray and the audience showed their
appreciation by their h tarty- applause.
Mr. Harry Xeilsen, our genial super
intendent of the county farm, was
called upon for a few remarks re
garding the operation and mainten
ance of the farm which so few of us
really know much about, (the we
probably would have known by now
had Hoover been re-elected), and as
the facts and figures as presented by
Harry were interspersed with witi
cisms and amusing incidents. His
talk was enjoyed by all. One fact he
wished impressed deeply ou the minds
of the beys and young men present,
was that nearly all of the male resi
dents there were there because of
the whisky and alcohol habit.
The humorous part of the program
was given by Garnett-Tritsch & Co.,
who presented a comedy skit which
was greatly enjoyed by all.
Before adjourning it was announc
ed that Ray Cook would present his
Musical Mynard Minstrels on the
nights of Febr. 15 and 16 at the
Mynard club room. Those who have
attended previous minstrels directed
by Ray will agree that the public
will get their money's worth in en
tertainment. Later announcement
will be made in the Journal regard
ing this entertainment.
I'he Mynard Community club,
which is regarded as one of the out
strnuing clubs of its kind in the
state, has accomplished a great deal
in the line of improvements this win
ter. With the aid of CWA funds,
together with subscriptions from
those interested, they have added a
room 14 feet by IS feet for dressing
rooms and storage purposes, a new
heating plant, capable of heating a
building several times the size of
the present one, and have redecorated
the interior of the auditorium. They
have also cut a back door and pas
sageway to the kitchen which will
add much to its convenience and also
as a safety exit in case ot fire. Last,
and by no means least, is the pur
chase, by the Community club, of
the E. J. Richey property, being Lots
Nos. 15, 16 and 17 of Long's Addi
tion to Mynard, to be cleared off a.ud

put into shape mostly by CWA work
ers, and developed into a community
athletic field and picnic grounds, with
tennis courts, horse-shoe courts, kit
ttnball grounds, etc. The purchase
price for this property was $200 and
Mr. Richey was very highly com
mended for his donation of $o0 to
wards it and for the liberal terms
made the club which enabled them
to secure this property to fill a much
needed want of the community and
village.
Recently a CWA inspector looked
over the Mynard Community club
project and was loud in his praise
for what had been accomplished with
so little fuiuis and by the use of so
little skilled labor. Credit for this
is due, almost entirtly, to II. A. Mc
Kelvey who was appointed foreman
through the efforts of the project
committee and who did a great deal
of the necessary carpenter work, be
sides overseeing the work to keep
down costs wherever possible. With
continued good weather it is to De
hoped the project will be completed
within a couple cf weeks.

Chicago Rids
Itself of Mobmen
in Few Months
Original Twenty-six Public Enemies
Pretty Well Disposed Of, Com
pleting House Cleaning.
Chicago. None of the original
public enemies went about the town
actively engaged in the gangster busi
ness. Somebody slew William "Three
Fingered Jack" White last week and,
for all practical purposes, Chicago
had completed its heroic house clean
ing. It was on Sept. 1G, 1930, that the
Chicago crims commission branded
the twenty-six most infamous mob
men and predicted they would be ex
terminated. Racketeer reaction was
a raucous "Oh. yeah?" They were
wealthy, enjoying a thriving trade,
paying for influential connections.
Conservative observers felt that rid
ding the city of the outlaw lords was
a noble, but almost impossible task.
Dut it seemed to have been accomp
lished. Here is the status of the twenty
six marked men: Five are in prison;
seven are fugitives; five are dead; six
have apparently retired from the
crime lists; three have disappeared.
Al and Ralph Capone, Jack Gu
zich, James "Fur" Sammons and
Terry Druggan are lodged in pen
itentiaries. Lawrence Mangano, Roc
co Fannelli, Joseph "Peppy" Ge-r-naro,
Leo Mongoven, Vincent McEr
lane and William "Klondyke" O'Don
nell are fugitives on charges ranging
from vagrancy to murder, and James
Belchastro is under a jail sentence.
Joe Aiello, George "Rod" Parker
and White were slain. Myles O'Don
nell and Frank McErlana beat the
long odds favoring gangsters' violent
deaths and died from natural causes.
Frank Lake, Druggan's beer twin,
is in the ice business in Detroit.
Frank Diamond, the Capones' brother-in-law,
George Moran, Edward
"Spike" O'Donnell and Jack McGurn
are gunk'ss men about town, volun
tarily reduced to the commonplace
level of their less notorious neighbors
who mow lawns and snip hedges
about trim brick bungalows. Joe Sal
tis is one of Wisconsin's gentlemen
farmers. Tony "Mops" Volpe, Danny
Stanton and Frank Rio have drop
ped from official sight.
But they strut no more these
twenty-six original public enemies
into the melodrama of Chicago's un
derworld. And Chicago has another aecom
plihsment to hold up before the eyes
of the world.
