L. McDonald wan called to Om aha last Wednesday, where he was looking after some business in con nection with the store which he con ducts here. Charles Martin, who has been en gaged in rt firing his corn and fodder in a large pit silo which he has been constructed, completed the work on last Monday and is well pleased that the job is done. Arthur Anderson, who has been kept to his home for more than two weeks, wa3 able to be down town last Wednesday and was pleased that he was icenng wen enougn to get out in . , . the sunshine and meet with his many friends. Andy Mayes, the drayman, had the misfortune to lose one of his horses. He had been hauling a buzz saw and in some way the saw was dislodged and in falling struck the horse, in flicting a severe wound that caused the death of the animal a little later. Arthur Stewart and the family were pleased la?t Sunday when Wal ter Stewart and family of near Pa cific Junction, Iowa, came over for a few days visit with the folks and with the many friends of Walter and family here. They returned to their heme last Monday. Rev. W. E. Goings, who is feeling much better at this time than he has been in the past, is able to get out and do some work and has been cut ting wood in the Coleman woods and getting it hauled for the winter sea son, which is sure to come and so the winter can be met with a smile. They Like Eating Pheasant Although some say there has been little for the birds to eat in the northwest this year, and that the number of pheasants is greatly decreased, the hunters do not seem disposed to forego the pleasures ot getting out into the open spaces and :;eeii;g what there is to see, as well as perhaps getting a pop at a bird, be :t lean or fat. Among those from here .ho went out the latter part of the veck to try their luck at getting a few of these tasty birds were E. A. '-.an don and son, Wayne, L. C. Mar vin and sen, Peter Jardine, Everett Cono and George Trunkenbolz. We trust they were, not disappointed. Enjoyed Fall Picnic Why should not the beautiful fall weather be just the time for a picnic 'n the woods with the many colored trees and the ir. tense heat of the summer gone and fair weather and a nice balmy day be the exact time for . nth a gathering. Well, the Coleman family thought so, and last Sunday Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Wright, Louis Wright and family and Miss Cassie Coleman journeyed to the woods some four miles northeast of Greenwood, .vhere they spent the day in the woods with their dinner and sure enjoyed the occasion. Village Clerk Resigns On last Tuesday evening, the Vil lage Board met in regular session to look after the business before them. Dwight M. Taleott, who nas been the village clerk, with the disposing of his insurance agency, offered his res 'gjuiticn a:; city clerk and as he is expecting to leave Greenwood in the near future, his resignation was ac (cpted. The city dads then took up the elec tion of his successor and chose Xorman Peters for the position. With the change in officers it be conies net cssary to auJit the books of the village and Mrs. Warren Bouch was given thh: work to do. When she shall have completed her task, the of fico will be turned over to the new clerk who will be duly installed in ;..1icc at the next meeting. Two Loads cf Potatoes Will Buck, who has been up at Mandan, North Dakota, returned the fore part of last week with a load of Kill Ohio potatoes, which he was of fering fcr eale, both here and at Mur dock. Glen Peters, who has been at Ilemingfcrd, Ncbr., also returned at about the same time with a large truck lead of tubers, which he sold in this vicinity, to fill some of the vacant vegetable bins in the cellars of the vicinity. Now is the time to lay in a supply for winter, as it is said potatoes will be plenty scarce later on.

Order cf Eastern Star Meets The members of the Order of East ern Star, of Greenwood, which has a number of members living in and about Waverly, mot last Wednesday at the home of their fellow member, Mrs. Bainbridge of Waver!;, where they enjoyed a one o'clock luncheon and a splendid lime. Then, following the eats, which put thorn all in fine fettle, they spent the afternoon quilt ing. And say, they did get a lot of work done. PLANS SOCIALISTIC SCHOOLS Mexico, I). F. Despite increasing opposition, the government has made known it intends to institute social istic education in all secondary schools in the country and continue its strict anti-church attitude. Com bined with sporadic uprising by small groups of armed men, the stu dent and religious agitation is seen by many as presenting a serious problem. But the government ap parently feels there is no need as yet for energetic action to check it. Student feeling against making! socialitic education compulsory in all schools except universities has been exhibited in Monterrey, Zaca tecas and in Mexico. D. F. Author ities in r.ionterrey felt it necessary to close the University of Nuevo Leon, oner.ecl only a year ago. after a series cf clashes between students and police. In Zac:teeas federal forces and police broke up a mee ing of students demonstrating for "liberty of curriculum." Here uni versity under-graduatcs stoned tife government newspaper El Nacional on two successive days. NEW FEED LOANS OFFERED Washington.
