PAGE FOUIt PLATTSMOUTH SEMI - WEEKLY JOURNAL THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 193G. ray Henry Vest was called to Platts roouth on Tuesday to lock after some business at the court house. Albert A. Youn was a visitor in riattsmouth Sunday, going: up after some medicine for Mr3. Oldham, who was very sick, but is now somewhat improved. Karl Tdraeek was in Plattsmouth Tuesclr.y forenoon, goinp after some coal for a party here, as there was none to Le had in Murray that day, although there were several cars billed to arrive scon. O. A. Davis was in Plattsmouth on Tuesday of this week, having busi ness to transact at the office of County Judse A. IT. Duxbury and aLo looking alter other matters of business while in the city. Mrs. Will S. Smith entertained the (members of the Missionary Society at her home on last Friday, as the church, where the meeting is usual- ly held, was lot of coal to co!J and required a get it warmed up for a met ting of this kind. There were a goodly number of the members in attendance and a most interesting and enjoyable meeting was held. George Troop, desiring to look af ter some business matters in Flatts mouth, came to Murray horseback and, leaving his horse here, went to the county seat. After transacting the bus'ness, he returned to Murray a day later, and, getting his horse, rode back to the farm. While he was gone, John Campbell was looking af ter the cattle which he has on feed. Roy Cole, Jr., of Weeping Water, and sister, Miss Sarah Cole, also of that place, were visiting friends in Murray last Sunday afternoon. They made the trip by auto, but were com pelled to come by way of Union, as the road west of Murray is still bad ly drifted and closed to traffic. The only possible way to get it open will be to shovel it out or wait for warm weather, and the shoveling job is a gigantic one when miles of highway are involved 2ade Trip en Eobsled The country west of Murray and north of Neiiawka, which has been so badly blockaded that traffic of any sort was out of the question, has had no mail delivery for more than a week. Fred Ungelkemeier, taking a team and bobsled, and driving thru fields where he found the roads im r.as?able was able to got to Xchawka last Saturday, purchasing some gro ceries there and as well getting the ir.ail for himself and neighbors. Now En Route Home Word from Major I. Hall and wife and Mr. and Mrs. George Brinklow, who have been spending some time in Miami, Florida, conveys the in formation that they started for St. Louis the first of the week and after a brief stop there, will continue on home. In their letter, they tell of having bathed in the ocean nearly every day during their stay there. Unless they tarry in St. Louis long er than they contemplated doing, it is quite likely they will get here in time to experience some of our truly typical old-fashioned winter, now in its twenty-ninth consecutive day of sub-zero temperature, which will not Le quite as pleasant a3 bathing in the ocean at Miami and getting a heavy coating of tan under the trop ical sun. Come on folks, and wel come home. You will be able to ex perience the mean and extreme cli Jnatic of the nation. 7as Very Sick Mrs. Sadie Oldham, who has been ill for some time, suffered a relapse last week, although she had been im proving considerably up to then. Her sinking spell was a severe one and caused grave concern among the rel atives and friends. Everything pos sible was done for her and we are glad to report that she is again con biderably improved, although at her age it is a long, drawn-out process to bring back failing health. She is receiving excellent care and wants for nothing. Depart for Kansas Mrs. Maybelle Dick and four child ren, who have been making their home in Murray for some time past, left Tuesday morning via rail for JIc Leuth, Kansas, where they expect to make their home in the future, Mrs. Dick having a position awaiting her there. Funeral Held Sunday The funeral of the late Edward McCuIloch who died more than a week ago, was held last Sunday. The delay was due to the fact that it had been impossible to get to the ceme tery, although several trials were made before the road was finally opened up part way ai:i a route cleared across fields the rest or the way. Frank Read, of Plattsmouth, with the county's big tractor and a snow plow on the front, opened up a roadway across fields just ahead o the hearse and the funeral party fol lowed immediately afterward, get ting through to the cemetery in good shape. Eelays Trip for Eetter Weather Waiter Allen, who has been visit ing here with his parents for several weeks, had planned to visit friends in Chicago as well as in the state of Georgia, and even went as far as Om aha, but found the weather so severe and the roads so uncertain he con cluded to return home and defer the visit until such time as the weather moderates. This would seem to be a most sensible thing to do, for cer tainly no one would want to go trav- clying in this hind of weather except called by some emergency. Walter is wishing he might be down in Georgia at this time however, as he feels he would be able to enjoy himself much more than here, where sub-zero tem peratures have existed for twenty nine straight days, to say nothing of the blizzards and blocked roads. Ctcck Feeding a Problem Now Parr Young, who has some 400 head of cattle on grain feed, with the coming of the severe storms has been faced with a serious problem of how to replenish his dwindling supply of corn for the stock. The badly drifted roads have prevented trucking in of grain, even from his nearest neigh bors. Of course he has plenty of good hay, water and ensilage, but that does not take the place of corn, and if it becomes necessary to curtail or shut off grain feed all the present gains will be quickly lost. Mr. Young is an expert feeder and is fully cognizant of the problem he faces (which is the same as is faced by many another large scale feeder) and will do everything in hi3 power to get grain and keep up the feeding rations regularly. By using the fields where highways ,were blocked so badly as to be lmnassable. he has been able to get some grain and has hopes of getting more through before his supply runs out. Stork Arrives Under Difficulties Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Saunders, who have been making their home in a house south of Murray owned by Charles McReynolds, had been in tending to return to their home at Mountain Grove, Mo., prior to an ex pected arrival to join the family cir cle. But with the bad weather and impassable roads cf the past month, they put off going from day to day until the stork came to pay them a visit here instead.' Saturday night the call came for a doctor, but all roads in that direction were blocked so badly it would have been futile to even attempt to drive there in a car. The section foreman of the Missouri Pacific came to the rescue and vol unteered to take Dr. Tyson very near to the place of abode of the Saun ders family on his motor car, which clicked off the distance in short time over the snow-cleared rails. As a result the doctor arrived ia ample time to greet the new arrival and make necessary arrangements for his care and that of the mother. Building a Breeder House Fred Drucker, who is a fancier of swine and a breeder cf this species of farm stock, has a number of sows to farrow soon and is having a new and improved brooder house con structed for the care cf the little pigs when they arrive, as with the kind of weather we have been having of late it would be most hazardous to attempt to raise them under any but the best conditions possible to attain. Albert Young has been assisting with the manufacture of the "parlor" for the little piggies. Accepts Fcsiticn in Kansas J. A. Smith, who ha3 been making his home here for some time past, de parted last Tuesday morning for a point in Kansas, where he has a posi tiun offered him, and is hastening to accept the same. At this time of the year when one has work offered him, it is well to get to the work and hang onto it, as jobs are not so plentiful even in these days of proclaimed re turning prosperity. SELLS ASSETS From Wednesday's Daily This morning the sale of the assets of the defunct Bank of Commerce of Louisville, was held at the district court room. There were several in terested parties present to attend the sale and to make bids on the various assets. There were some $54,544.05 of bills receivable for sale but these were not in very brisk demand. Sev eral pieces of real estate were includ ed in the sale. Want ads securt prompt return j of lost articles.

Miss Edith Robertson, of Eagle, found it possible to get to the Har- ey Hires home Tuesday, where she stays while teaching. School has not been held in that district, as it was mpcssible for the children to reach the school house. i The Alvo school remained closed all week because of blocked roads. At this time very little has been ac complished toward opening up the roads on any but the main highways, and traffic from the rural areas re mains at at standstill. Mrs. L. M. Hauptman did substi tute teaching for Miss Marjorie Am Friday, February 7, while Mis3 Arn accompanied the students who went to Peru to take part in the M-I-N-K music contest. Carl D.

The little man weighed nearly ten pounds. The parents have not de cided definitely on a name for him. Mother and con are doing fine. Ilad a Difficult Task Fred Reuter, with the snow plow and a crew of thirty men with shov els, worked until noon Monday south of Alvo and were able to open only three Quarters of a mile of road. Dur ing the afternoon a larger crew of men were assisting with the work and they were able to get the road opened through to its juncture with Rand 0; the O street road by seven o'clock Monday evening. The storm of the following Thurs day evening and night caused the road to again be closed, but William Kitzel opened the road Friday so the trucks might get through and people of this community could have coal trucked in to replenish their rapidly diminishing supply. Valentine Luncheon Mrs. Otto Stuve was hostess to the members of the Mothers' and Daugh ters' council Friday, February 7, at a Valentine luncheon. A large crowd was able to attend and enjoy a most delicious meal at one o'clock. The remaining part of the afternoon was pleasantly spent with games and stunts. Serious Coal Shortage Alvo has been out. of coal for some time but trucks have been able to get coal from Lincoln and Omaha so that the people have been quite well supplied. Some have even haul ed coal with their cars from other places. Simon Rehmeier drove over to Omaha one day last week and brought home about one thousand pounds of package coal. CONQUERS THE DRIFTS Arthur Troop, well known farmer from south of the city, was in town Tuesday for the first time in several days, the roads near his place being drifted in by the heavy snow and which made travel out of all ques tion. Mr. Troop decided to wait no longer and started out on foot, pick ing his way across fields where the snow seemed less heavy and after several miles of walking reached highway No. 75, from where he was able to secure a lift into town. He was able to enjoy the Rotary meet ing and also to secure a supply of foodstuff for the home. The return was less troublesome as Searl Davis was able to drive on the quarry road closer to the Troop home and Art had but a mile to hike through the snow to his home. HAS CAR DAMAGED Monday afternoon while Attorney D. O. Dwyer and son, Harry, were re turning home from Murray, they were involved in an auto accident south of this city near the Perry farm. Mr. Dwyer was driving up the steep hill northward when he saw tho lights on an approaching car coming from the north. The Dwyer car was as far to the right hand side of the road as possible when the ap proaching car swung into them. The two car3 were damaged to a greater or less extent and had to be brought on into this city to be repaired. The car that was involved in the wreck with that of Mr. Dwyer, was driven by R. L. Conn, of Omaha, HOLD FUNERAL SERVICES The funeral services for Clarkson Edward Birdsley, of Odell, Nebraska, were held on Tuesday afternoon at the Horton funeral Lome at Seventh and Vine streets.

IN REMEMBRANCE OF JANET MEI3INGER Hush, hush for the day is still The angels fall on their knees to adore The little girl who will be their playmate, Who was once so happy before. She will be happier in heaven than here, No happiness as in heaven will compare. Many will mourn for her on earth, But in heaven are waiting for her up there. We miss our dear little girl, To us she was our only and very dear. Perhaps she is thinking now of us And saying, "I wish they were with me up here." Now we must tell her good bye. We know we will see her no more Until we too must give up this life, And meet her on that Golden Shore. Dorothy Ulrich.

Due to bad roads none of the cast end members wa3 able to attend, so the president, Mrs. Slagle, called a meeting so we could have a chance to get the interesting lesson on "Home Needlework." Seven mem bers were present, a few learned to crochet the chain stitch. Mrs. Hull, one of the leaders, had a sample of each couching, candlewicking, French net, mesh, simple trim, fillet, double stitch, . shell stitch, waffle stitch, needle point and faggoting which was very interesting to study. Several songs were sung. The meeting was adjourned to meet again in February. A very appetizing lunch was served by our hostesses. REPORTER.
