You are sure to have a good time. Ray Frans was out to the farm and with some competent assistance, was engaged in building a chicken house with concrete foundation and a con crete floor. The farm is located on the highway west of town, being known as the N. C. Deles Dernier place. With this kind of equipment it ought to be easy to raise some fine chickens and get a lot of eggs, which by the way are beginning to command a premium price as cold weather approaches. Editor C. E. Withrow and wife, of Palmyra were visiting in Union last Sunday, driving over for a visit with their son and wife. Arriving here, they found their son, Elmer, and grandson, Elmer, Jr., were away for the day, but visited with other mem bers of the family, returning home in the evening without getting to see either of the two Elmers. So the old Legion slogan, "Where's Elmer" was again brought into play, this time far removed from the scene of convention fun and frivolity, however. Welcome for Minister Members of the Methodist church and other citizens of Union, together with a number from Wyoming, which is also included in the pastorate of Rev. B. N. Kunkel, who was recent ly returned here by the conference, planned a reception for the pastor and wife last week, but the weather was bad and the event was postponed, being held on Monday night of this week. A very pleasing program had been arranged, consisting of read ings, music and other entertaining features, climaxed with the serving of a delicious luncheon. A large num ber were present at the reception and Rev. Kunkel and wife are convinced that Union is a splendid place in which to live and carry on their church work. Farm Brought Good Figure With the purchase of the Hathaway farm by C. F. Harris, and arrange ments being made for Lee Farris to occupy the place, the latter offered his farm for sale. A number of in terested people looked it over and a deal has been made whereby Oliver Schiber comes into possession of the J UNION P. H.

Mr. Farris will move to the farm purchased by Mr. Harris and Mr. Schiber will move onto the Far ris farm which he has purchased in the early spring. large Number Attend Church With an enrolled membership of S4, attendance at the Methodist church last Sunday reached a high mark, there being 92 at Sunday school and 99 at the morning worship. This is very pleasing to the pastor, officers and members and shows a healthy interest in religious matters by the people of this community. Visited at Columbus Mr. and Mrs. Otto Ehlers and Mr. and Mrs. Victor Clarence drove to Cclumbus last Saturday for a week end visit at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Lcnnie Clarence. While there, the men folks engaged in hunting pheas ants, with the opening of the season Sunday, and the ladies enjoyed a very pleasant visit together. Failed to Return on Time George Stitcs, the elevator man, who enjoys hunting, and especially out Saturday for the pheasant coun try, and up to supper time Monday evening had net returned. His friends were curious about his prolonged ab sence as they had expected him back Sunday night. However, they were of the belief that he may have gotten on the trail of a pheasant that kept on going, with George in pursuit. They were sure nothing more serious could have happened to him than getting stuck in the mud or some similar mis hap to delay his return. All have doubtless heard the details of the trip from George himself by this time. Visited at Stanton The annual migration of pheasant hunters has furnished the highlights of this week's news all over south eastern Nebraska which is closed territory, as countless hundreds of sportsmen journeyed to the pheasant country to get a few shots at the elu sive birds. One group from here was composed of Donald and Sterling Har ris, Melvin Todd and J. Marion Stone, who resides near Nehawka. They de parted Saturday, going to Stanton and Filger, and early Sunday morning as the sun started to show its face, were out on the firing line ready to t,iL l ii v 1 1 allelic;, wunii r t, uiiucioiauu they did. At any rate, on their re turn they looked as though they had enjoyed their visit and hunting ex pedition. Visiting in the West Some time ago, Mrs. C. F. Harris went to the west coast for a visit for three months. Mrs. Emma Daniels of Diller also went west recently and has persuaded Mrs. Harri3 to remain until spring. Everybody Hunting W. B. Banning came in from Lin coln Friday and early Saturday de parted in his car for the western part of the state, expecting to visit at the farm home of some friends and try his luck at pheasant hunting as there is said to be a greater abundance of the birds out that way than farther east, where the hunters of Omaha and Lin coln have kept the supply pretty well thinned out. Believed in Making Sure Eugene Roddy, the mail carrier out of Murray, but who makes his home in Union, did not want to take chances on being disappointed so de cided he would neither go hunting or fishing. Instead he drove over to the river and after parting with a coin acquired some very good eating in the way of a nice catfish. When one gets them that way, there is no guesswork about it, and oftentimes a lot of lost time without results is saved. Still others prefer tae thrill of hunting of whether Hunted Near Wakefield Another of the hunting parties that went forth from this vicinity on a trip to open territory, was composed of Earl Crawford, Tuggles Withrow, his father Elmer Withrow and Frank Bauer, they making the trip in the car of the latter. They left shortly after midnight Saturday night, driv ing to Wakefield, where they spent the early morning hours hunting. Later in the day they started for home, coming via Decatur, a town off the railroad up in Burt county, along the Missouri river. This is a thriv ing little town despite the fact it has no railroad, for it is served by bus und truck lines and looks forward to the advent of Missouri river trans portation a few years hence. Here they enjoyed a very pleasant visit with Dr. and Mrs. J. W. Luxford, who formerly were located in Union when Dr. Lux ford was practicing here. They en joyed their visit and were invited to come again. They found Dr. Luxford enjoying a nice business there and very well located. Clubs Hold Achievement Day The Huskey Rustlers and the Knot Hole clubs met at the Eaptist church last Saturday, October 19. The Knot Hole club demonstrated some .of the different knots and told about the trip to camp. The Huskey Rustlers had seme of their posters on display there. Part of them were made by members who were too young to en ter them at the fairs. This club was able to win two prizes on posters at the state fair and also two prizes at the county fair. Their booth won first prize at the state fair. At the end of the program refreshments were served to the friends and par ents as well as to the members of the two clubs. Purley Comer, News Re porter.

Uu. Resettlement Bureau Gives Farmers Help Families in Need of Subsistence to Receive Temporary Aid From the Administration. Lincoln, Oct. 21. Cal A. Ward, re gional director of the federal rural resettlement administration, Monday said temporary federal aid will be furnished through his office to farm families in need of subsistence, par ticularly in the drouth areas. The plan, designed to help farm ers not now under the federal re habilitation loan program, he said, provides for certification of needy families for temporary direct relief on a subsistence basis. 175,000 Families. Ward estimated 175,000 farm fam ilies in the nation will be added to the rehabilitation program, which al ready has 350,000 families -on re habilitation rolls in the entire coun try. He said through an agreement made with the works progress admin istration the new group will be as signed to the resettlement adminis tration by existing state relief agen cies, which will function as certain application bureaus. In Nebraska the work of checking the rural relief situation will be done by E. F. Witte, state federal relief administration administrator and state WPA certification officer. "The agreement with WPA," Wrad asserted, "provides that the central application bureaus will assign to the resettlement administratio nonly those farm famliie. on the relief rolls which can eventually be placed on a permanent rehabilitation basis in the judgment of the re settlement administration. "The central application bu reau will determine in their sec tion of families as to whether they are to be assisted by the WPA or the RA, thereby avoid ing duplication of operations." Two Phases. Paul V. Marvis, assistant national director of rural resettlement, during a visit here, explained the program would have two phases: 1 . Emergency aid to farmers in "catastrophe areas" drouth assist ance, ofr example. 2. Temporary help to families who may have applied for individual re habilitation loans but who may not yet have received actual monetary as sistance. The. program. Maris said, was adapted to this region, consisting of Nebraska, Kansas and North and South Dakota, because of drouth, dust storms and floods in recent years KEATON SERIOUSLY ILL Hollywood. The condition of Bus ter Keaton, film comedian ill at his home here, was described by his phy sician, Dr. John Shuman, as 'serious.' Keaton was stricken with influenza a few days ago and It was believed this ha ddeveloped into pneumonia.

HOME DAIRY "Our Service Satisfies" HAD VERY PLEASANT MEETING Those from here who attended the Arbor Lodge district Scout meeting held at Nebraska City last night, felt well repaid for their trip, as valuable discussion looking to improvement of district courts of honor, establishment of a few experimental Cub packs and a more orderly handling of financial matters was engaged in. The court of honor procedure is being changed somewhat to provide an advancement director chairman and a vice chairman, with each given definite duties to perform. The host troop is charged with providing a program of thirty to forty minutes duration while the board of review, composed of troop advancement direc tors from the different troops are in session in adjoining rooms examining the candidates for advancement. The district advancement chairman pre sides over the program session while the vice chairman is directing the board of review in its work. In the presentation of awards, en tire troops will be called up at a time, while the advancement director member of the troop committee will make presentation. This will include second and first class and merit badge awards, while in Star, Life and Eagle classifications the awards will be by groups, regardless of what troop they may belong to, also with the various Palm awards above Eagle Scout rank. The next court of honor in this dis trict will be held at Nehawka on Tuesday evening, November 19th. The financial set-up will be con tinued on the three cents per capita basis of past two years, but dues will be forwarded to district treasurer in stead of to area headquarters and the district will underwrite the bud get, in turn getting the money from the towns in the district, thus doing away with area headquarters having to contact the more than 100 towns in the area, and enable them to get the same results through budgeting among the fourteen districts of which Arbor Lodge is one. It is quite likely Nebraska City will get the first Cub pack to be organized outside of such cities as Lincoln and Omaha. The Cub program embraces boys of pre-Scouting age and the ex periment of organizing such packs in two or three towns of different size over the area will be watched with interest by all Scouters. The Plattsmouth delegation ar rived home about ll:30 ana were guests at a midnight lunch at the E. H. Wescott home before breaking up the group, with a continuing dis cussion of Scouting problems.
