Ladies Aid liet at Parsonage The Ladies Aid society of the Unit ed Brethren church met on Thursday of last week at the parsonage, where they enjojed a very fine gathering and also engaged in quilting, tying a fine quilt fcr Mrs. Otto Englebret scn, which was very gratefully re reived. The ladies are now at work on the preparation of a quilt which has a very romantic history. The blocks comprising this quilt are over Ifty years old, being assembled dur 'ng the girlhood and early married life cf Mrs. Jane Dill, who secured -.iercs for the quilt from her girl riends and again from them as they too joined the ranks of the matrons of that early day. Mrs. Dill would uilt a block now and then and when work was plentiful about the home the quilt blocks were shoved aside until ancther opportunity came to resume the work. As the years wore on and children came until there had been born twelve to this good wom an and her husband, the household duties became too numerous and the task of finishing the quilt still re mained unaccomplished after the children had grown to manhood and womanhood. Now the ladies are tak ing the matter in hand and will im mediately complete this historical quilt. Gave Excellent Program On last Friday night at the Phil ot ir.hocl. east of Weeping Water, v33 held the first program of the cascn by the Woman's Literary club af that neighborhood, which was well -eceived and which brought much merriment and a good deal of solid worth to all who attended the en tertainment. This is the first of a number of such entertainments that will be staged at this literary center. Watch for announcement and be sure to attend these worth-while pro grams, as they will pay you well. Work Makes the Difference. We have been boasting of a world wide depression and while we are complaining about it being here we have been scatching our heads for a solution and have been passing by the vtTy things which would drive it away. A fair example of what would cure the matter. R. C. Pollard, in order to know the effects on Ne hawka, took the matter in hand and went to the merchants of Nehawka to make an inquiry to the effect on business during the time that the quarries were working and since they hava closed down. In the matter of meats Mr. Pollard found that there was four times as much meat con sumed during the running of the quarries than there had been since. This is conclusive evidence that em ployment does more for the prices of tho products of the farm than all the curtailment which the move ments now on hand could effect in much more time. Give the people employment ar.d the matter is solved Will Engage in Trucking. Clyde Switzer, who was over to Fort Wayne, Indiana, for a new In ternational truck which he drove home, arrived last Saturday night with the initial car, which Delbert Switzer will use for trucking busi ness. They expect to put on more in the future, but just one at this time. They were wise in choosing the International, as they are trucks that cannot be beat. Visiting Here for a Tims. Mr. and Mrs. George Lawson Shel don of Jacksonville, Miss., are at this time visiting with friends at Ne hawka and other places nearby. They drove from the south in their car and are expecting to spend some weeks here. Many Attend Tourney.

I 1 ?, We don't 8 need to tell you that prices on Overcoats will be higher next Fall You know it! Now- See Our West Window! Stt - $15 - 513 1 Wescott's 8 Since 1879 No Immediate Reduction in Cass County CWA Forces Under Quota and will Not be Affected by First "Lay-Off" CWS Cut from 34 to 25. Because Cass county has been un der quota in the number of its CWA employees, it is improbable the first orders to cut forces as part of a nation-wide demobilization plan, will affect any employees here at the be ginning of a new work-week Friday morning. Men heretofore employed on completed projects will be shifted to new projects and those working on uncompleted projects will be al lowed to continue for the present. Later on, a weekly percentage re duction will require elimination of a portion of the force each week un til May 1st, when it is planned to cease all CWA wcrl; in the U. S. This was the concensus of opin ion brought back from Lincoln after a conference of Cass county officials at the office of the state CWA com mission yesterday. j The CWS situation is different,' however, with the curtailment order effecting it to the extent of some 22 per cent reduction in force. The num ber of these women employees over the county is to be cut from 3 4 to 2 5 at the beginning of the new work week and after that be subject to the same percentage reduction as is the case with CWA workers. NOTES FSOM EOBAET Additional copies of the HGbart, Indiana, Index have been sent to the Journal office by W. T. Distell. form er superintendent of the BREX shops here, containing items of interest. We note that in Hobart the net proceeds from the President's birth day ball were but $70, as compared with nearly $20 0 here. Plattsmcutn made one of the best showings of any town of like size in this part of the country. A picture of the new Boy Scout cabin being erected there appeared peared on the front page, together with numerous items, including a lengthy editorial urging support of the Scout movement to raise money to pay for the cabin, which is 22x37 feet in size, with11 full basement. Be ing located at the edge of town it is equipped with such modern conveni ences as electric lights and plumb ing. The cabin has been built by CWA laborers, and approximately 4 00 people of the town visited the cabin a week ago Sunday to note the progress made in the work, it being then near completion. Chicken stealing in Indiana ap pears to be a highly successful form of thievery as one article tells cf ten thousand fowls having been stolen from the farmers of central Indiana last year. The American Legion show, '"The World's All Right," had just drawn packed houses and Boy Scout mothers had sponsored a card party at Legion hall to raise money to apply on the cabin expense.
