MONDAY, APRIL 16, 1934. THE PLATTSMOUTH EVENING JOURNAL PAGE FOUR i 1 : i-! I GREENWOOD f Greenwood is to be well represent ed on the jury drawn for this term of district court at Plattsmouth, the three selected from hero being John C. Lomeyer, Gust Woitzel and A. L. Leaer. They go to serve this week and for the remainder of the term. Mrs. W. E. Xewkirk, who has been visiting for some time at the home of her son, Clyde V. Newkirk and family and at the hewe cf her daugh ter, Mrs. G. M. railing and family, went to Murdock last week to visit for a time with her daughter, Mrs. Dr. L. D. Lee and family. Town Beard Canvasses Vote The election in Greenwood this spring developed a let cf interest and resulted in a large vote being polled. In fact, there were more votes cast than at any time in a geed number of years. In the canvass of the votes, it was found that a number of the voters had written in the name of E. Li. McDonald on their ballot, but had not placed a cross in the square op posite the name and that these were thrown out when the votes were be ing counted by the election board. Inquiry directed to the attorney gen erals office disclosed the fact that the state supreme court has ruled that the writing in of a name on the bal lot is evidence of the voter's intent to vote for him regardless of wheth er he marks an x in the square or not. With the recount of the ballets by the canvassing board it was found that Mr. McDonald iia;l received the highest vote of any candidate for a place on the town board, and lie was accordingly declared elected. Seventh District Assembly Members of the Ilebeckah lodges i of the seventh district met at the1 Masonic hall in Greenwood cn last! Thursday. The business session was held during the afternoon and in the evening one cf the features was the conferring of a degree. A number of candidates were given the work, with the degree team with the Havelock assembly. A banquet was also served at an appropriate hour, adding in terest to the occasion. Covered Dish. Luncheon The members oi the Order of East ern Star met last Wednesday noon at the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Leesley. where all enjoyed a covered dish luncheon. There were a large number present. The afternoon was spent in quilting. Doing the Right Thins The American Legion, which is always endeavoring to assist those in need of help, has arranged to pro vide seed for the growing of a garden to those who cannot afford to pur chase the same. In addition, they are also providing a place for tho various gardens that may be planted. One of the members of the organiza tion, alter he had planted his pota toes, had a bushel and a half of seed left, which ho gave to the cause and which if properly planted and culti vated during the growing season, should provide enough spuds to feed several pecple during the greater part of the coming winter. The interest of the Legion in this worthy project is very commendable, indeed. Will Grganizc New District There is a move on foot at this time to form a new district for the subordinate lodges of the I. O. O. F. of Lancaster, Cass and Saunders coun ties. A meeting will be called in Ash land in the near future to discuss the plans. To Ferfect Team Wcrk The six I. O. O. F. lodge3 of Cass county are to held a meeting soon at Louisville to arrange for the organiz ing cf two degree teams from among their membership, which will enter j can best master the work of confer ring the initiatory and advanced de grees. In this way it is hoped to greatly increase the prcilciency of all those taking part. This will also make available for putting on cf the vcrk two trained degree teams, so it can le made mora impressive than would be possible otherwise. It will take a let cf work to mas ter the ritualistic ceremonies incident to conferring the various degrees and those selected for a place on the team will be chosen with a view to their ability to handle it in the best man r.er possible. Held School cf Instruction During the holding cf the Ilebeck ah assembly here last Thursday, one of the features of the afternoon pro gram was a school oi" Instruction. A goodly part of the membership of the (various lodges present was enrolled to receive the instruction thus pro viding a much more uniform method of giving the work in the district. All enjoyed the instruction provided and derived much good therefrom. Visited Friends Here Mrs. Myron Coleman, of Sheridan, Wyoming, has been visiting with relatives and friends in Greenwood and Ashland for some time past and was a guest at the home cf Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Landon during a portion of last week. Mrs. Coleman, Mrs. Ella Marshall, of Ashland, and Mes dames K. A. Landon and Aaron Wright formed a party cf four who went to the home of W. P. Daily, of Ashland, to visit for the day last Tuesday. Xedeless to say, they all enjoyed a splendid time. Heme frcm a Trying Trip Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Holt are home frcm a tedious trip which they made to southwestern Illinois to attend the funeral cf the husband of a sister of Mr. Holt. They found the travel dif ficult due to poor train service. First they went to Lincoln, from where they took a train for St. Joseph, Mo. At that point they were delayed in getting a train for Hannibal, Mo. Ar riving at Hannibal on the morning of the day of the funeral, they went via auto from there to the point in Illi nois where the funeral was held, and afterwards were driven back to Han nibal, where they caught a train foi st. Jofeph, then to Lincoln and on home. During the entire four days consumed in making the trip, they were unable to have their clothes off tr get any perceptible amount cf sleep, and they were surely tired out and ready to go to bed when they arrived home. Exemplified Initiatory Degree On l ion day of last week, the I. O. O. r. lodge of Greenwood, at their regular meeting first looked after the routine business before them and then closed the lodge in the third de gree, reopening in the initia tory degree, with the team exempli fying the initiatory degree cn a can didate, Jack Gribbel, who now is an initiate member of the I.

Hilton's dog was found last November standing in shallow wa ter and had to be pulled from the stream. His gun was found in the water near the dog.

Young Teddy Enlists to Aid in Campaign Son oL the Late President Tenders Seivics in Republican Cause for Fall Election. Washington Col. Theodore Roose velt, Jr., oEertd his services to re publican leaders in the G. O. P. cam paign to capture control of congress next fall. Young "Teddy" made it clear in a series of conferences with party chiefs he thinks the time i3 fast approaching when a concerted, militant attack oa the more vulner able policies of the new deal would be the best republican strategy. He is preparing to make a vigorous on slaught on "brain trust" experi ments and preach the gospel of abol ishing governmental interference with industry as the best means of assuring permanent recovery. In a brief interview Colonel Roosevelt predicted the republicans would gain a large number of seats in the next house of representatives. He de clined to reduce his predictions to liguies. He said many normally republican districts which fell to the democrats in president Roosevelt s landslide victory over Hoover would unques tionably return to the republican column in the fall. Other gains are expected by t2 republicans as the first flush of enthusiasm over the democratic administration's achieve ments gives way to dissatisfaction and fear that the president's advisers are planning to go too far, he said. It is understood, however, repub lican leaders are not so optimistic at this time as to expect to gain ac tual control of the house. Their pres ent hope is to increase the party's representation from 115 to about 200 teats, leaving the democrats only a slender majority. Among those with whom Colonel Roosevelt conferred was Representative Wadsworth of New York, considered a contender for the republican presidential nomin ation in 10'ZG. Small Riot Snarled by Angry Taxpayers Batter Way Through Steel Doors to Voice Their Protest to Coun ty Commissioners. Pottsville, Pa. A crowd of angry taxpayers, protesting their assess ments had been raised while coal com panies were not affected, battered thru steel doors in the courthouse annex, seized two county commis : ioners and hustled them to an indig nation meeting. Leaders charged that assessments were increased on private dwellings in some instances as high as S00 percent. A mass meeting was arranged and the com missioners were ordered to appear. They declined. This infuriated the crowd, esti mated at one thousand persons. Shouting and jeering, they invaded an anteroom in the annex and, using benches as battering rams, forced the loced doors of the offices of Commis sioners Brownmillcr and Adamson. The crowd rushed them to the meet ing in a courtroom. Peter Iiavolac and Ray Burchill, clerks caught in the raclee, were taken along with the struggling commissioners, lia volac was beaten and Eurchill's glasses were broken. The crowd swarmed into the courtroom, which seats about five hundred. Taxpayers and their fol lowers climbed over seats, perched cn railings and stood on the judge's bench where they displayed a ban ner emphasizing their demands. City police had restored seme semblance of order before they were reinforced by rtate police called from the Tama qua and Ilazleton barrack". James H. Kirchncr, minority commissioner, was at the meeting as the two other official! were thrust into the room. Shortly afterward the commission ers unanimously decided to hold hear ings on revision of assessments at public places thruout the township rather than, with individuals in their office. The commissioners said they did not contemplate prosecutions cf leaders of the disorder. FOB SALE Alfalfa Seed grown in Buffalo Co. cn J. W. Philpot farm, 1933 crop.

Four or five ban Jits, armed with machine guns, raid ed the Security State bank of Sterl ing at S:30 a. m., escaped with near ly 531,000 and grabbed three offi cials oi the hank as hostages. The officials were released unharmed two mLl.-s east of Sterling. The automobile in which the rob bers escaped v.-as found four miles east of here near a clay pit, where authorities believe they had cached another machine in which they con tinued their flight. National guard airplanes circled overhead whle motorcades of posses, who recently were asked to watch for tho outlaw John Dillinger, scoured the countryside. Discovery of the abandoned car turned the search southward toward Otis, Colo. Officers said the first machine had been stolen Tuesday in Brush, Colo., together with three sets of license plates, all cf v. hich still were miss ing. R. A. Towno, president of the bank, who was one of the hostages, :;aid a check showed the robbers took 519,125 in cash, 3,-128 in clearing house checks and $11,104 in war rants of registered bonds belonging to patrons of the bank, which are not negotiable.

A GASTRONOMIC REVIEW I stand and look across the sea and hear the billows roar, And gently touch the hand of Him who led me to the shore, In solitude I love to dream of days we looked for shells. To decorate a treasured spot where alone my memory dwells. Homer never drained a cup of sweets more sublime, Nor does his Iliaid prove that grace came from rhyme. But love amidst the dense in- terpid gloom. Opened the floodgates of heaven and gave it plenty of room. Nestling in the forest by the restless sea, Lingers in my memory a long ing to be, Where gleams of the beacon that flashes out bright, To guide the mariners to steer their sbi:s aright. The hills all covered with grass and trees, Bow their heads to the lasting frieze, That decorates the gorgeous mon uments formed and built, By nature that removed the rocks and silt. As the great ships pass by the ope-n door, And the rays of the moon fall across ti;e floor, The joy of living seems to steal serenely across My open hearth, ablaze with fragments of wood and moss. That cottage by the sea where the roses bloom. And the honey f;uekl2 twines and shades my room. The humming bird eips its blos som for sweets As the clew drops down upon the vine it greets. There stands the oak, the lick- ory and ash, These giants cf bearity and sentinels rash, And as the last ray of light gleams in the west, The cottage and trees go to rest. J. R. T.

The first advance will be made when the wool i3 weighed there. From this point it will be trucked to Fremont and go in carload lots from there to Boston. This saves making about four transactions that wool usually goes through, thus the profits go to the grower. The present advance is 23c per pound for most grades of wool. The national association aims to keep the advance at about 75 of the Boston market. A second advance will be made after the wool is grad ed at Boston and a final payment made at the end of the wool market ing season. Most of the members re ceived about 32c last year when the final settlement was made. Anyone interested should get in touch with Fd Lorenson, manager of the Fann ers Union Grain and Supply company at Weeping Water. He is handling the wool and supplies for the asso ciation in this county. Gioup Achievement Two hundred project club mem bers and friends from Rock Bluff and Plattscouth precincts were in attend ance at the group achievement pro gram at Murray, Friday, April Gth. The program included an . original song, readings, vocal and instrumen tal numbers and a musical comedy, "The Ranch Frolic." This comedy depicted the various lessens in the past year's work. Readings, accord ian and guitar numbers made this skit especially enjoyable. This was the last meeting of the year for the clubs in the Murray group. Other groups will hold their achievement days cn the following dates: Louisville, Wednesday, April 11th at 1:30. Nehawka Auditorium, Wednesday, April ISth at 1:30. Eagle, Methodist church, Thurs day. April 19th at 1:30. Murdock, school house, Thursday, April 19th at 7:43. Elmwood, Community building, Wednesday, April 25th at 1:30. Feeders Day Program Programs for the annual livestock feeders day which will be held at the Agricultural College, Lincoln, Friday, April 20th, have been re ceived in the Farm Bureau office. The morning sessions will be divided into programs for the men and pro gram for the women. The morning session for the men will be held at r H III 7T 3 -5 ?. .-. y i , - I, : :, . -- t mm .mm the Activities building, starting at 9:15. The morning session for the women will be held in Room 306, Agricultural Hall. The afternoon session will be a general program for both men and women, at the Ac tivities Building. Special attention is drawn to the two principal speakers on the after noon program. C. A. Cobb, chief of the cotton division, AAA, Washing- ton, 1). C, has for his topic, "Cattle, 1 Cotton and Commerce." The cotton program is one year ahead of the com belt. Furthermore Mr. Cobb has been closely associated with congresa in the development and passage of the Bankhead bill for enforced con trolled production. He is a tplendid speaker. We feel confident it will be well worth vour time to find out what the south is doing as told by Mr. Cobb. Mr. James E. Poole or Chicago has an interesting topic, "My Opinion Take It Ore Leave It." He has a very unique method of telling what he think-!, jje does net mince words. I am eure everyone will find him a very interesting speaker. He has had one car to the ground listening to omens pertaining to the cattle mar ket for so long that he has developed an uncanny ability at forecasting what is around the corner. Of special interest on the women's program in the morning is a talk by Helen Reader on "Our Experience With Lard for Cake Baking." Many ether worthwhile topics will be dis cussed. Families who are planning on attending the program should try to Le there promptly at 9:15 so that you may have a chance at the prizes to be given. Hhubarb and Bate Pie With the oncoming of rhubarb fresh from the garden, we believe the following recipe for rhubarb and date pie will appeal to most families: 1 recipe of plain pastry. 2 c. or lb. rhubarb. 1 c. or 'i lb. dates or raisins. 23 c. sugar. 3 T. flour. 1 egg. Mix the sugar and flour, add to the beaten egg. Cut rhubarb in about one inch pieces and chop the dates. Put in pi dish which has been lined with the pastry. Cover with a top crust or with a "lattice." Bake in a hot oven for about twenty-five or thirty minutes. Deadline in Ordering Trees Cass county farm people have but a f..v,- days left to put in their ap plications for Clarkc-McNary seedling and transplant trees. The deadline for accepting applications is Monday, April 15. Thus far farmers here have made application for about 15, 000 trees which will be used for windbreak, woodlot and shelterbelt purposes.
