Growing Station V abash News Warren Richards was called to Weeping Water last Friday to look after some business matters for a short time. William Rueter and wife were in Lincoln last Tuesday, where they were looking after some shopping for the afternoon. Mrs. A. B. Stromer, of Alvo, a daughter of John C. Browne of thi3 place, was a visitor here for a short time last Saturday evening, coming to see her father. John Wood, Lloyd Richards and Lester Reese are working on the O street paving job, hauling batches of gravel and cement to the mixer In their trucks. Under NRA regulations they are limited to five hours each per day. Among those from Wabash who are employed on the paving of the O street road from a point south of Wabash west to the end of the present pave ment at the Elmwood corner, are Fred Shellhorn, William Murfin, Carl Jen sen, James Cardwell, William Walters and Noel Golden. Guy Hinds has been working on the O street paving project, his par ticular job being that of weighmaster at the loading station where the cor rect proportions of gravel and cement are loaded onto trucks and hauled to the scene of operation to be mixed and J poured on the roadway. Bert Barden and wife were visitors in Plattsmouth last Saturday, where they were looking after some business jnatters and endeavoring to get them selves assigned to the paving job on O street or any other work over the county that comes under the admin istration of the county re-employment office. Restore Caretaker Here The taking off cf the caretaker of the Missouri Pacific station house, Mr. Frank Reese, has not proven to the best interests of the company as with trains stopping here and no sta tion attendant it has been very in convenient to patronB of the road, who had no place to wait until their friends should come for them. Es pecially was this the case in the early jnorning or late in the evening. So the position has been restored and Mr. Reese, the genial and accommo dating caretaker, is again officiating. Kay Extend Paving There are rumors that an addition al contract is to be let in the near future to extend the paving on O street an additional five or Bix miles. Including an overhead railroad cross ing. If this is done, all but a very few miles of O street will be paved by the middle of August or the first of September. It i3 one of the heavily traveled highways of eastern Nebras ka and is certainly deserving of con sideration at the hands of the state highway commission. All are hoping the rumors may prove well founded.

Ward was called to Weeping Water last Wednesday to look after some business matters pertaining to the oil business in which he is en gaged here. Harold W. Tool, CHaries I. Long and Jesse Stock were in Elmwood last Monday evening, where they at tended a rehearsal of the Elmwood band of, which they are members. William Bourke, who is the assessor for Elmwood precinct, has been hust ling with the work and while he has not completed the task as yet, he is getting along very well and hopes to finish up in a short time. Miss Pool, teacher in the Murdock schools, was sponsor of the Seventh and Eighth grades when they enjoy ed a fine time at the park of W. O. Schewe. The teacher gave the class a weiner roast in the grove. Henry Klemme has been feeling rather poorly of late, but not so bad as to keep him at home and in bed, for he has been trying to do the work on the farm and has done so not withstanding he has not been feeling the best. Came Along Just After Wreck Lacey McDonald, son John, and A. J. Tool were at Louisville on Monday, where they spent a very pleasant af ternoon fishing, and as they were on their way home, driving south to reach highway No. 1 at the corner east of Manley, they came upon the wreck of the car that ran into a gravel truck near the Catholic ceme tery on highway No. 50. A Council Bluffs man was driving the car and was killed almost instantly. The two vehicles came together at the south approach of a narrow bridge, over which the gravel truck had just pass ed and the impact of the collision de molished the car as well as damaged the front end of the gravel truck con siderably A coroner's jury returned a verdict that the accident wa3 unavoid able and attached no blame to any one. A large crowd was soon at the scene and the Murdock folks say it was a most gruesome picture as the smashed car stood there and not far away lay the body of the man, who had been lilted from the wreckage, being dead at the time. This particular point has been the scene of numerous wrecks in the past. Attended Weeping Water Meeting A number of the ladies of Murdock were in attendance at the district meeting which was held at Weeping Water on last Wednesday.

C. F. Wenber and wife were attend ing and stopped to extend an invita tion to Mr. and Mrs. L. Neitzel to accompany them, which they did and all four went over to hear the play. They were all well pleased with the play and sure enjoyed it. Returned from the West Mrs. Frank Dean, who has been visiting for the past month at Big Springs, where she was a guest at the home of her sister, Mrs. Wm. Delin king, reports a lot of wet weather out there and that they had one rain that amounted to some seven inches and it was still raining when they came away. This should prove beneficial to the crops of that portion of the coun try. Mrs. Dean came home with her husband and H. P. Dehnning, who had driven out for a brief visit. Entertained Last Sunday Mr. and Mrs. Albert Bauer 'enter tained last Sunday, having as their guests Mrs. George Utt and son, Dll ler and wife from Havelock, also Mr. and Mrs. Claude Twlss and kiddies, which made a merry crowd for Grand father and Grandmother Bauer.

They Played Eittenball Murdock was among the first to break into the kittenball this season on Tuesday of last week when the first game under the floodlights was play ed and notwithstanding the coolness of the weather there was a goodly number present and a gooa game was enjoyed. The game was between two teams selected from Murdock players and if this starter is a sample of the kind of playing that is to follow, it Is quite evident that Murdock will have a fine kittenball team this sum mer and one that will do its full share of winning. Don't miss the next game, for if you do you will be losing out on some good sport. Saw the West Sunday Rudolph Kuehn and the family, liv ing near Murdock, took advantage of the very nice day last Sunday and with their auto tuned up just right, departed for Fullerton, where they spent the day visiting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Emil Kuehn, who re cently moved there to engage in farming. Had Tonsils Removed Mrs. Eddie Craig has been troub led for some time with attacks of ton- silitis and with each recurring attack the distress has been more severe un til finally as a cure for the distress ing malady, she concluded to have the tonsils removed. Dr. L. D. Lee per formed the operation on Thursday morning and with the removal of the glands, Mrs. Craig has been getting along very nicely and it is expected she will soon be entirely recovered, and in the future will be free of the troublesome tonsilitis. Book is Sermon Subject The booklet which was recently prepared by L. Neitzel, depicting his religious life, from conversion down to the present time, and published by the Journal a few weeks since, under the title, "A Modern Pilgrim's Pro gress by the Pilgrim" has been dis tributed by Mr. Neitzel among hid friends and religious co-workers over this part of the country as well as to numerous shut-ins whom he knows, as an incouragement to many in the struggles incident to human life. Cop ies of the booklet have also been sent to members of the clergy in Cass county, among whom is Rev. C. O. Troy, pastor of the Methodist church at Plattsmouth. Rev. Troy used a portion of the book as the theme of his services on Sunday, April 28, and again yester day, May 5, took up the balance of the book, which tells in story and song the convictions of the author at various stages along life's highway. Of particular interest was the story of his repentence and conversion, follow ed by a period of leadership among the young people of his age, that re sulted in hiB being called to the min istry and sent to Wahoo mission In Nebraska Mr. Neitzel served for a good number of years as pastor of various churches la Nebraska. It was very pleasing to him that Rev. Troy should use his booklet as the basis of two sermons, delivered on successive Sundays.
