Carl Bornemeier has just purchas
ed a new V-S car, turning In his old
one as part consideration on the deal.
Albert Eauers was looking: after
some business matters in Plattsmouth
last Friday, also enjoying a brief
visit with friends and relatives while
there.
A large number of the members of
the Order of Eastern Star -were at
Elmwood last Wednesday afternoon
attending a meeting of the order at
that place.
Miss ilary Bornemeier, who is
working at Louisville, was a visitor
nl home for a short time "Wednesday
of last week and was visiting with
her friend here for a short time.
The usual group of musicians from
this vicinity were at Weeping Water
and Elmwood Wednesday and Thurs
day nights, where they assisted with
the giving of band concerts in each
of these tov.-iV.
William Zabel, who recently pur
chased the store and cafe of Otto
Eichoff, is expected to arrived today
and take charge of the business. Mr.
Zabel will conduct the same type of
business Mr. Eichoff has operated in
the past.
Otto Eichoff was called to Platts-
mouth last Wednesday to look after
Borne business matters for the day
and while he was away, the place of
business was looked after by W. O.
Gillespie, who is well qualified to
conduct it.
Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Meyers, of
Sioux City were in Murdock on last
Sunday and visited with the parents
of Mrs. Meyers, Mr. and Mrs. A. J.
Tool. In departing they left the
children, Miss Mary Margaret Meyers
and Master Billie here for a week's
visit.
Mesdames George Braun and Phil
lip Clarke of South Bend were in
Murdock visiting with friends and
as well Mrs. Clarke was having some
beauty work done, having her hair
iut. Her tresses were long and lux
uriant, but she has now joined the
modernistic class with short hair and
a permanent wave.
Herman Frolich and wife, of Los
Angeles, who have been visiting in
the eact for the past couple of weeks,
stopped and are visiting with friends
in Murdock and Alvo for a time he
lore they continue their journey to
their home in the west. They have
jnany friends and relatives here whom
they desire to visit.
The threshing for the season has
been about completed with fair re
turns as compared with the yields
over the country generally. In the
early spring there was promise of an
abundant harvest with large yield3,
but the weather conditions were not
right and as a result the yield has
been considerably reduced. However,
on completion of the harvesting and
threshing there is still much to be
thankful for, especially when viewed
in the light of last year's complete
failure.
whether he is planning to re-enlist,
we are unable to say. Anyhow, he will
take a rest for a short time and en
joy a visit here with his father.

opening contest, while Wabash and
the Stags oppose each other in the
second game.
Friday night, August 23, the games
to ba played include High school vs.
Callahan and Fire department against
whoever may show up anxious for a

Interest holds up remarkably well,
even the hottest nights, when large
numbers gather at the lighted field
to witness the games.
Mrs. Neitzel Improving
Mrs. L. Neitzel who recently had
her eyes operated on at a hospital in
Lincoln, is reported as getting along
very nicely at this time. Mr. Neitzel
was at Lincoln last Wednesday to
see his wife and found her feeling
Cne and showing good improvement.
Whila Mr. Neitzel was away the busi
ness here was looked after by Charles
Kupke.
Says Crops are Good
Mr. and Mrs. Charles I. Long and
Mr3. Matt Thimgan, who were visit
ing last week at Pierce, where they
have relatives, returned home after
enjoying a very fine visit. They tell
of crops being very good up that way,
in fact as well as in eastern Cass or
even better, for they have had more
rain up that way.
Kcme from the East
L. B. Goerthy has a very high re
gard for the V-S which carried him
3,500 miles on his trip to the east,
with not a punctured tire and noth
ing else to mar the pleasures of the
journey, bringing the family safely
back to Murdock last Sunday after
noon. In the visit to the east they found
that both the country and the peo
ple have changed.
Many of the people at Broad Albin,
where Mr. Goerthy lived as a young
lad and until he was fully grown for
that matter, came up and extended
him their hand in greeting whom he
did not know, as they had grown up
since he left.
Mr. and Mrs. Goerthy and the
children visited the Adirondack moun
tains, camping in them and fishing to
their heart's content as well as enjoy
ing the mountain scenery. Later they
drove down to Albany and from there
to New York over the famous Hudson
river drive with its beautiful pano
rama unfolding before them the en
tire distance. They visited at Tren
ton, New Jersey, where a sister re
sides, and all went swimming in the
Atlantic ocean.
On their return, they were accom
panied by the mother of Mr. Goerthy,
Mrs. Carrie Goerthy, who will make
her home here with the son and fam
ily during the coming year.
LNVESTIGATOES EETUE1T
Will Have Concerts
Beginning August 22, the Murdock
High school band under the direction
Sidney. Neb. County Attorney P.
J. Heaton and Sheriff Schulz return
ed to Sidney Friday night from Den
ver, where they said they continued
their Investigation into the John
Frahm murder case. Heaton declined
to say what they did in Denver or
whether their trip was successful.
While there are many climbling
plants with which to drape a trellis,
porch, a stone wall or an old tree
stump, or hide the bareness of a new
house, none is more beautiful than
the clematis and none is more rare
ly used. Many English nursery cata
logues list from thirty to fifty va
rieties of clematis, some even close
to a hundred, but few are offered by
American nurserymen, and even
these few are seldom represented in
gardens.
Not many gardeners realize how
many species and varieties this beau
tiful clan includes. There are 200
or 200 wild species growing in var
ious parts of the world, especially in
the temperate regions of Asia and
North America, and more than half
of them are suitable for use in gar
dens. The most widely used is the
so-called Japanese Clematis, C. pani
culata, with clusters of small white,
fragrant flowers in August and Sept
ember; this is a rampant climber and
will thrive almost anywhere.
Available Small-Flowered Varieties.
But there are many other small
fiowered and medium-flowered spe
cies that deserve to be more widely
known, all cf them obtainable in this
country. Thes' are of many 6hapes
and colors. There are several slender
climbers from China with yellow
lantern-shaped flowers. The best of
these is C. tangutica. There is a
rampant Chinese climber with pink
anemone-shaped flowers, C. montana
rubens. Though this is likely to be
cut back by frost in severe Winters
south of New York City, it grows rap
idly again from the roots. There is a
lilac-rose climber from Europe, C.
viticella, and its pleasant white form.
C. viticella alba. Another slender
climber from Europe with nodding
blue flowers, is C. alpina. not un
like the rare purple-flowered clem
atis of our Eastern woods.
Finally and to the writer's mind
the loveliest of all there is C. tex-j
ensis, a slender climber" from Texasi
but hardy in New York and New
England, with most dH&litfal "scar
let to rose-pink urn-shaped flowers.
One who saw it ablaze In my gar
den exclaimed. "If this were better
known it would be as popular as the
Dorothy Perkins rose."
To this list may be added another
charming climber from our South,
C. crispa. with bell-shaped flowers of
pale pink and pale purple shades.
Unfortunately, many nurseries sell
an inferior species under this name,
and in buying it one must be sure
, to get the true species.
These are all climbers, but there
are also some herbaceous forms, grow
ing not over two or three feet high,
and suitable for the flower garden
or for the front of the shrubbery
border. Of these, C. recta with pan
icles of small white flowers; C. david
iana, with blue bell-shaped flowers,
and C. integriiolia, with dainty blue
flowers, are all easily grown.
The Large-Flowered Hybrids.
But the showiest of all the clema
tis are the large-flowered hybrids.
Nearly 200 hybrid varieties are of
fered by European nurseries; un
fortunately, only a few are now ob
tainable in this country. They are
derived chiefly from three large
flowered species growing wild in
China and Japan, but other species
have entered into their parentage,
and the results are truly marvelous.
All of them have enormous flowers,
from 4 to 10 inches across. They
are of many colors blue, lavender,
mauve, purple, pink, red and almost
every other shade, except yellow.
Best known of these hybrids is the
large, purple-flowered C. jackmani,
which is almost the only variety that
can be said to be really common in
American gardens. But it is by no
means the only one that will thrive
in our climate. New beauty comes
to gardens where at least two or
three of these hybrids are tried. In
fact, many gardeners who try them
become enthusiastic clematis collec
tors. It matters little which are
chosen. Ramona, with fine blue flow
ers; Henryi, with enormous white
flowers of satiny sheen; Nelly Moser.
mauve, with a bright red bar down
the center of each sapal; Mme. Ed
ouard Andre, a rich purplish red;
Mme. Baron-Veillard, lilac-rose, and
very hardy; Ville de Lyon, a dark
reddish purple, and Gypsy Queen,
with flowers of a far richer purple
than Jackmani all are good. There
are several double-flowered varieties,
such as the white Duchess of Eiden
burgh, but- something of the airy
grace of clematis seems lost in these
double-flowered forms, though the
pale mauve or silver-gray Belle of
Woking is an exception.
The Culture of Clematis.
If the garden is in a limestone re
gion one will not have much diffi
culty in growing clematis. They
thrive as far north as the limestone
regions of Bar Harbor and Montreal.
Probably the blue-grass section of
Kentucky and similar regions would
be ideal homes for them. Most of
the wild species of the world grow in
such limestone regions. Yet some
grow in other soils, and with proper
care nearly all can be made to thrive
anywhere; some of tbem even pros
per in azalea beds and under pine
trees.
It is indeed a question whether it
is lime or the physical texture of the
soil that is of primary importance
to clematis; but until more is known
about the matter it is wise to supply
a generous amount of lime (prefer
azly in the form of ground limestone)
to clematis plantings. Species and
varieties like a rich, moist, well
drained soil, for lack of moiature
and poor drainage are their special
abominations; and they prefer some
shade over their root-runs, with their i
heads in the sun. Many sorts will,
however, thrive in half-shade.
The stems of most sorts are brittle,
and are easily whipped about and
broken by the wind, so it is advisable
to give stable supports as soon as
they are planted. Unfortunately the
large-flowered hybrids are usually
sold only in the form of grafted
plants. These are set out so that
the graft is two or three Inches be
low the surface of the soil. Plants
on their own roots are to be pre
ferred, according to the writer's ex
perience, when they can be procured.
The hybrid types are best given, a
mulch of well-rotted manure every
Autumn; and if spent hops can be
procured from a local brewery, this
forms an ideal mulch throughout the
Summer. Sprin.g is the best time to
plant clematis, but the hybrids are
usually sold in pots and can there
fore be set out at any time during
the Summer.
The late William Robinson, Eng
land's great gardener, asserted that
the less clematis is pruned the more
picturesque is the effect, but for for
mal use some pruning may be neces
sary and even desirable. It should be
remembered that some varieties
bloom on old wood, and some on new
wood; those in the latter category
may be pruned as severely as desired,

but the varieties blooming on old
wood are left to their own devices
except for the cutting out of dtad
wood. Of all the Boris mentioned in
this article only C. montana rutins.
Duchess of Eidenburgh and Belle of
Woking bloom on old wood.
Clematis will thrive almost any
where, if sun and soil permit. The
more rampant climbers can le used
on porches, pergolas, wire fences,
stone walls and tree stumps. The
more slender climbers, including the
hybrids, can be placid next to the
house on trellises or posts. Some of
the less rampant kinds may be plant
ed on the shady side of a shrub or
small tree and allowed to clamber
over it as they will. With ten or a
dozen sorts carefully selected one can

IT'S PAY DAY AT ASHLAND
Camp Ashland. National guards
men at the state camp Friday decked
up in their military dress and for
good reason, too. It was muster day
and Saturday's payroll depends on
whether the soldiers successfully
passed their master examinations and
were certified by officers.
The blistering sun beat down on
the khaki troops as they pitched their
pup tents in the field and laid out
al ltbeir equipment for field inspec
tion. Friday evening was one of social
significance. The 40 and S of Lincoln
puffed into camp in an imitation
locomotive for an evening of enter
tainment. The athletic activities of the camp
will culminate Saturday in a field
and swimming meet. Finals in the
boxing tournament will lie fought out
at night.
