Enjoyed the World Series
Harry Haws and wife and John
Crane .returned home last Monday
from Chicago, where they had spent
three days attending the world series
baseball games between the Tigers
and the Cubs. Their time on the re
turn trip, which is slightly over 500
miles, was but little more than ten
hours. That is faster than the lim
ited train traveling on steel rails is
scheduled. Harry had to drive with
out the benefit of steel rails, dodg
ing other cars on the highway and
watching out for crossings, both high
way and railroad. They say large
crowds attended all the three games
in the Windy City, although it was
plenty cold there and far from the
usual mild baseball weather.
Troops Passed Through Manley
Some 600 troops of ,the 17th in
fantry, which is stationed at Fort
Crook have been on a march to Fort

passing through Manley during, the
forenoon.
Making Substantial Improvements
Henry Vogler has been putting a
roof on his home and making some
other repairs to the house, including
the re-papering of a number of the
rooms. Mr. Vogler is feeding a few
hundred sheep and a number of cat
tle which will consume the roughness
about the farm and considerable grain
as well. The writer was a visitor at
the Vogler farm one day last week
and a3 he was watching Mr. Vogler
harvest fodder with a machine, Henry
jumped off the binder and said to the
writer, "Go on and see what kind of
a farmer you are." Of course we re
sponded and Henry was satisfied with
the job we were doing, "hut a bunch
of fodder swiped our subscription
book out of our pocket and it was
lost. Of course we did not know it
until later, when we went to look for
it. The next round Mr. Vogler made,
he discovered it on the ground and
took it to the Manley State bank,
where we found it waiting when we
came that way. Thank you, Henry!

CITES ORIGIN OF FAMILIAR HYMN
In a recent communication to the
Journal, L. Neitzel, of Murdock, a
well known Bible student, who is
author of the weekly Sunday school
lesson appearing in the Journal, cites
the origin of the old familiar hymn,
"In the Cross of Christ I glory, tower
ing o'er the wreck of time." The com
munication from Mr. Neitzel touch
ing on this matter, is as follows:
"Some four hundred years ago, a
colony of emigrants started from
Portugal for the coast of China, to
find a new home. They took their re
ligion 'with them. After erecting
shelter to live in, they started build
ing a house of worship. The church
was to stand a long time. Massive
walls were constructed and a strong
tower, with a large cross on top of it.
Built on a high and commanding site,
it could be seen many miles up and
down the coast and far out to sea.
Thus it came to serve as a beacon
and guide for many sailors, and was
responsible for saving numerous ves
sels from shipwreck. Thus it stood
for several hundred years. But one
day there came a storm of great pro
portions, commonly called a typhoon,
which wrecked everything in its path.
This church, that had served so long
as a house of worship and had inspir
ed many to a life for Jesus, was laid
in ruins, homes were destroyed in
fact everything was laid waste but
the tower and its cross. By some mir
aculous manner this part was saved.
There it stood, still serving as a guide
post to the mariner, towering over the
wrecks of time.
"One hundred years later, Sir John
Bowring, visiting the place, beheld
the tower and cross from a distance,
and by an inspiration, composed on
the spur of the moment that marvel
ous hymn:
"In the Cross of Christ I
glory,
Tow'ring o'er the wrecks
of time;
All the lights of sacred
glory
Gather "round its head
sublime."
"It also has given Inspiration and
guidance to many on the sea of life,
who have eventually found the de
sired haven.
"It is a look of faith to the cross
where the Son -of God paid the ran
som for the human race, that has
brought peace and joy to the soul of
many Fanny J. Crosby caught the
significance of the Cross of Christ,
when she tunes her iiarp andfsfngs:
"Jesus, keep me neaV'th'e Cross,
There a precious fountain
Free to all a healing stream
Flows from Calvary's Mountain.
CHORUS
In the Cross, in the Cross
Be my glory ever,
Till my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river."
"When kingdoms and empires have
disappeared; when nations have ceas
ed to be; when time shall be no more
then the cross will still be
"Tow'ring o'er the wrecks
of.time!"
"Another miraculous incident is on
record from the great world war,
proving that the Cross of Christ is
'tow'ring o'er the wrecks of time.'
'The miracle of the cross' happened
near Montlouvon in the famous Cha
stroyed, but of the thousands of shells
teau Thierry sector, which was the
scene of embittered fighting in the
spring and summer of 1918. The an
cient church there was utterly de
that were showered upon and wreck
ed the great edifice none touched the
crucifix at the entrance. Among the
ruin and desolation caused by heavy
bombardment the image of Christ
alone escaped unharmed.
"Isaac "Watts had a marvelous ex
perience at the cross, when hi3 soul
burst forth in that immortal song, 'At
the Cross,' ending with the chorus:
"At the Cross, at the Cross
Where I first saw the light.
And the burden of my heart
rolled away."
"Mary Niude Gamervell adds this
to the conquering of the Cross of
Christ: 'A few montli3 ago I stood be
side the grave of Robert Morri3on on
the island of Macao, off the southern
coast of China. On a nearby immi
nence, almost overshadowing the
grave, there arose gaunt against the
blue sky the facade of a great ca
thedral surmounted by a cros3. All the
rest of the building was gone de
stroyed by fire long ago. As I gazed
on this cross, the first object to rivet
my attention on approaching the
island, the last on leaving it, the
words repeating themselves to me al
most as if spoken audibly: 'And I, if
I be lifted up, will draw all men unto
ne.' The crucified and risen Christ
has been uplifted in China. Many
have beheld him and live. But the
vast multitudes, millions pressing up
on millions, have not seen, and do
not know his truths. Never has there
come to them the glad hope which is
in him who said: I came that they
may have life and may have it more
abundantly.' "
"The cross is still 'tow'ring o'er the
wrecks of time!"

The Journal will appreciate the
giving of news items of interest
J to its representative by our read
I ers on his weekly visit to Murdock.
Meredith Weddell, who is employ
ed in Lincoln, was a guest at home
over the week end, returning to his
work Monday morning.
Mr. and-Mrs. A. J. Tool were in
Omaha last Sunday, where they were
guests at the home of their daughter,
Mrs. George Work and family.
Mr. and Mrs. Freddie Wendt were
in Plattsmouth last Sunday, where
they were guests at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Lyle Ilorton, parents of
Mrs. Wendt.
Mr. and Mrs. Eddie Craig were at
Wymore last Sunday, spending the
day at the home of the father of Mr.
Craig, B. A. Craig, and other members
of the family. A pleasant visit was
enjoyed.
Henry Heinemann is at this time
busy rebuilding a corn crib on the
farm of Herman Gakemeier which is
to be put to good use holding the crop
that is now ripening on the Gakemeier
farm and will soon be ready to pick.
WTilliam Zabel, proprietor of the
cafe and market, has just installed a
new refrigerator to take care of the
perishable goods which he handles,
getting one large enough to care for
the goods of both the market and the
cafe.
Rex Peters and wife, of Greenwood
were visiting in Murdock last Wed
nesday afternoon, being guests at the
home of the parents of Mrs. Peters,
Mr. and Airs. Henry Gakemeier. Mr.
Peters was also looking after some
business matters here. '
Mrs. Barbara Hite and son Floyd
were visiting in Lincoln last "Wed
nesday afternoon, being guests at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. John Amgwert.
Mrs. Amgwert is a daughter of Mrs.
Hite. They remained over night and
did some shopping as well.
Rev. and Mrs. Harvey A. Schwab
were in Lincoln on Thursday, where
they attended the Fellowship Sunday
school class supper at Calvary Evan
gelical church. Rev. Schwab address
ed the class of sixty members after
their annual business meeting.
Mrs. L. Neitzel and granddaughter,
Mrs. Fred Howe, of Ashbie, who is
visiting her for several weeks, were
over to Cedar Bluffs last Thursday,
where they.wer6 guests at the home
of Mr. and "Mrs; J.-J." Martini Mrs.
Martin and MrsrNeitzel are sisters.
L. B. Gorthey and family were
guests last Sunday at the home of
Mr: and Mrs. A. II. Jones, of Weep
ing Water, where they enjoyed a
very fino visit and were accompanied
by the mother of Mr. Gorthey, who
is spending the winter with her son.
Edwin McIIugh, Carl Buck and
Frank Dean, who were employed by
the Nebraska Power company in the
work of clearing a way for the erec
tion of a power line through this
part of the county to serve the farm
ing community as far south as Weep
ing Water, were laid off on account
of lack of work 'for a few days, but
have been called back again and are
once more busily engaged in this
work. "
The Wind Does the Work
A. J. Tool received one of the wind
chargers which are installed to ser
vice radio batteries in rural territory,
and Douglas installed the same on the
roof of the store building. It is equip
ped with an automatic cut-out that
keeps the battery up at all times but
does not permit overcharging. It can
also be set to take care of the charg
ing of a3 many batteries as desired,
the wind doing the work at no ex
pense. This looks like a good thing
for farm radios, where the trouble of
taking the battery to town to have it
recharged at frequent intervals has
proven quite bothersome, as well as
being deprived of use of the set dur
ing the time of recharging. With this
outfit it i3 possible to have the bat
tery in tip-top condition at all times.
Still Feels Effects of Wreck
Ferd Brunkow was in town last
Wednesday and in conversation with
the writer stated he is still feeling the
effects of the injuries he received in
the auto accident that occurred when
he and two of his brothers were en
route to South Dakota to attend the
funeral of their father. He also said
that Herman Brunkow, who was the
most seriously injured of the three,

juries and is unable to do any work
as yet. The accident occurred on a
detour road near West Point, when
their car skidded in loose gravel and
was overturned.
Mother Passes Away
Mrs. W. T. Weddell received word
last Saturday of the death of her
mother, Mrs. Henry Kruse, who had
been making her home at Le Sueur,
Minn. Mrs. Weddell left the follow
ing morning for the north arriving
in time for the funeral which was
held Monday. The deceased lady was
SS years of age and had not been in
the best of health for some time. She
was a member of the Lutheran church
at Le Sueur, the funeral being held
from that church. Besides Mrs. Wed
dell, there are two other daughters
left to mourn the passing of their
mother.
Will Spend Winter in California
Conrad Baumgartner, who is dis
posing of the stock on his farm, ex
pects to depart soon for Los Angeles,
where he and his wife will spend the
winter. He is offering the farm for
sale and if he is able to dispose of it
during the winter expects to retire
from the farming game.
Attended Eastern Star Meeting
Mesdames C. A. Kupke, Henry A.
Tool, Rudolf Kuehn and O. C. Zink
were over near Elmwood last Wed
nesday, where they attended a meet
ing of the Order of Eastern Star which
was held at the home of Miss Ella
Atchison. There were a large number
of the members present and a splen
did time was had, with a luncheon
being served as a fitting climax to the
afternoon's entertainment.
Visited Here Sunday
George K. Staats and daughter,
Miss Pearle, of Plattsmouth, cousins
of Mr. and Mrs. William Zabel, were
guests at the Zabel home last Sunday.
The father of Mrs. Zabel was also
present, having been visiting here for
a few days.
In the Interest of Patrons
Mrs. McDonald, home instructor for
the Nebraska Power company, who
unravels the problems of the house
wives over the .territory o far as the
use of equipment sold by the Power
company is concerned, was a visitor in
Murdock last AVednesday, spending
some time with Mrs. Frank Dean
who was canning and baking. While
there she demonstrated the methof of
getting best service out of the electric
stove at a minimum of expense.
One of the salient points brought
out in her demonstration included the
turning on of the current full force
until the stove attains the desired
cooking heat, after which the current
is diminished to the point required in
maintaining that amount of heat, ef
fecting a nice saving in the amount
of current consumed. It is said the
electric stove can be operated as eco
nomically as any other kind, provided
advantage is taken of the well known
principles of heating and no curren
is wasted.
Has Some Good Corn
Rudolph Kuehn and family were at
Fullerton last week, going on Friday
and returning home Tuesday. They
enjoyed a very pleasant visit at the
Emil Kuehn home and while there se
lected a few samples of the corn grown
on the Emil Kuehn farm this sum
mer, leaving three ears at the Eddie
Craig barbershop, which the writer
examined and found to be of excellent
quality. With a hundred acres of this
kind of grain "being grown on the
farm there, the Kuehn family will
have plenty for their own needs and
some to sell.
Bible School Convention
There were a large number of the
Bible school workers of this vicinity
in attendance at the Cass County Bi-
hlo srbnnl convention held at the
Methodist church in Plattsmouth last

Sxhiciiii nastni of both of the
churches and his wife, who were ac

western part of the state, accompan
ied by her little son, drove in from
their home in the west to visit for a
month at the home of her grand
parents, Mr. and Mrs. L. Neitzel, and
on Sunday went to Omaha, where they
enjoyed a visit at the home of Mrs.
Meta MacDiarmid, and also helped
to celebrate the passing of the birth
day of Miss Dolly MacDiarmid, who is
a cousin of Mrs. Lowe.
Enjoyable Birthday Dinner
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Buell enter
tained at a seven o'cloek dinner on
last Tuesday evening, having as their
guests Frank Buell and family, Mrs.
Minnie Rosenhoctor, Walter Oehler
king and family, Fred Buell and fam

Buell boys and the dinner was In hon
or of her birthday, which occurred on
Sunday and also for Idella Buell's
birthday, which occurred Tuesday.
All had a delightful time and enjoyed
the bountiful repast that was served.
Impressions of S. S. Convention
By L. Neitzel
The first impression I received of
the Cass County Sunday school con
vention held at Plattsmouth on last
Monday was the spiritual atmosphere
that prevailed.
It was a gathering of that great
army of unpaid, but consecrated
workers in the Kingdom, whose ser
vices are often not appreciated as
they should be. They came with the
sole purpose of learning, so they might
become equipped to perform better
service for Christ and the youth of
our land.
The second impression I received
was the earnestness and devotion of
these laborers in God's vineyard. How
eager and anxious they were to get
out of the convention all they pos
sibly could. How they responded to
the challenge of the Cross of Christ,
how fervent and deep their feelings
were expressed in the song service
that exalted the Cross of Christ. It
gripped the soul and lifted one onto
a higher plane.
The third impression was of the
mighty effort each speaker put forth,
that only the best is good enough for
God and our youth; and one could see
and feel that the soul of the speaker
was in the message.
The large number present impress
ed me very much. Some made a great
sacrifice in coming thirty mile3 and
more, at some cost and time; but gave
it gladly for the Christ whom they
love, and called it a great privilege
to have a share in the building of
Christ's Kingdom.
The dignified manner in which the
whole program was conducted and
carried out, made a most favorable
impression on me. Everyone seemed
to feel the devine presence of God,
and had the consciousness that they
were doing business for the King and
eternity. It was a representative
gathering of servants of Christ, who
feel deeply the great responsibility
for the work to which they are call
ed, namely, to lay a good foundation
for Christian character and a Godly
life.

Feeding the
Birds in the
Winter Season
Suggestions That Will Aid in the
Care of Our Feathered Friends
in the Cold Weather.
(By Mrs. P. T. Helneman)
Now is the time to begin preparing
winter feeding stations for the birds.
Not that the birds need your hos
pitality yet, for there are plenty of
seeds and insects still about, but
they need time to become familiar
with your station so they will feel at
home there when the need for food
and shelter does come.
Choose a sunny, sheltered spot,
preferably on the south or cast of tho
house. Food may be scattered on the
ground but it Is best for the safety
of the birds to feed them on platforms
raised from the ground. A bird bath
offers a good flat surface for feeding.
An automatic chicken feeder may be
wired to a low branch or even the
trunk of a tree. A small roofed plat
form or feeder may be suspended
from a wire clothes line. An exten
sion may be built to a eunny window
ledge. With a narrow raised rim so
that the food cannot blow away; with
the ends closed and a sloping glass
roof to shed snow and rain this af
fords almost perfect shelter. And you
can sit snugly indoors and watch
your bird guests on the other side of
the window. You will be surprised
how tame wild birds can become.
At your feeding tray you may ex
pect white breasted nuthatches,
chickadees, tufted titmice, cardinals,
bluejays and even the woodpecker
trible if you put ground suet on it,
as well as seeds. It i3 well to put
wire baskets of suet cn the tree
trunks for the woodpeckers and the
brown creepers. The following wood
peckers winter in this neighborhood:
hairy, downy, red-bellied, red-headde,
and the flicker occasionally. By
February or March the robins, juncos
and tree sparrows appear. The junco3
and tree sparrows are ground feed
ers If you are very lucky you may
have a golden-crowned kiuglet or a
Carolina wren come.
Feed the birds bread crumbs (roll
ed to small particles), ground suet
and meat, millet, hemp, ground corn
and sunflower seeds. Especially sun
flower seeds! 'They do love those. If
you have a 'bare space you can plant
sunflowers and let the birds gauer
the seeds themselves. Perhaps you
have a box of cornmeal, oatmeal or
other breakfast food that has become
wormy. The birds will accept tha.,
too. And they like salted peanuts
or other nutmeats.
The English sparrows will prob
ably be a pest to you and the other
birds. The only thing to do is to
shoot them, catch them In traps and
kill them, or shoo them away from
your stations when you can and bear
them as patiently as possible. When
shooting or trapping bo careful not
to injure other birds protected by
law. Fortunately 6parrows do not
eat sunflower seeds, suet or nut3 to
any great extent.
January, February and March will
be your busiest food station months.
You will be well repaid for feedj
ing the birds. Hundreds of grubs,
larvae and hibernating insects from
your trees and shrubs will be de
voured by the birds you attract to
your yard.
