He said circulation of petitions in behalf began Friday in several parts of the state. Carpenter will oppose Senator Burke of Omaha for the post. Burke was proposed for the position by the state committee. Senator Burke does not, in my opinion, represent Nebraska's inter ests, as shown recently in his vote against the proposed agricultural program, despite his vote for ship Sllhsirtv 1 n t tnri Camenter Said. ilr , ,c..ii- oo iu.u iin-u iu ko .huhu tun co . i ' ,1 ; Connir Vnrria !

Representatives of the United Lutheran synod, in conference here, were told by Dr. Gould Wickey. church leader, that theological stu dents today lead too easy a life. "Most of the churches are paying the students too much," said Doctor Wickey, general secretary of the board of education of the synod. "They have to get out and dig when they begin preaching; they might as well get busy and dig when they are in school. They ought to work hard er." He said the church faced no prob- getting plenty of pastors, but there was real difficulty in getting the right quality. 1 ELEVATOR PLANT BURNS Lexington, Ifeb. Fire early Fri- !day destroyed the Kjar Elevator j building here, causing damage esti mated at ?S. 000 to $10,000, covered partially by insurance. The building was a part of the Kjar Hay and Grain plant owned and operated by Albert Kjar, who said he did not plant to rebuild. The blaze did not plan to rebuild. The blaze MURDOCK ITEMS James Mills lost one of his valu able horses last week, the animal dying before a veterinarian could be secured. Matthew Thimgan wa3 called to Lincoln Friday of last week to look after business matters, making the trip in his car. Henry A. Tool was called to Lin coln Friday of last week to look after come business matters. During his absence, Mrs. Tool locked after artairs at the bank. William Stock was taken ill early last week, but. following treatment IHO I a ! ,11 1 J physician, has been re evering and is now feeling about i r.3 well as before the attack. J John and Morris McDonald, who j assist their father in delivering the j mail, called on and visited their j frier.d, Fred Stock, Sr.. last Thurs ! day, and at the hitter's iusistance, remained for dinner. Miss Clara Martin, of Cedar Bluffs. Nebraska, a niece of Mrs. Ncitzel, came to take care of her aunt, being a graduate nurse. She will prove a great help to restore Mrs. Neitzel to her usual good health. A fine baby girl was born recently to rM. and Mrs. Henry Brandt, of iou is v 1 1 lc Jir. uranQi is a coniraai-i and a "ember of the Louis- ! villa Evangelical church. The mother anu oaoy are aoin? niceiy at uu writing. Mrs. Velma Smaha, of Lincoln, was visiting lier sister, Mrs. Lennie Lau, here, during the past week. She came via the Rock Island, as there was no other way of getting here due to snow drifted roads tying up motor transportation. Henry Amgwcrt was called to Lincoln on Friday of last week to look after some business matters and secure some goods for the store, tak ing advantage of the first opportun ity to get through after the road had been opened up south thru Elmwood. The first basketball game with an outside team in several weeks was played on the local floor last Friday evening, with the school team from L'nicn as opponents. We have not learned the result, but with an un defeated record behind them, feel sure the Murdock lads were victors over their opponents. A husky little son was born Febru ary Sth to Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Oeh lerking, living east of Murdock. The little fellow arrived when every roa-i was drifted solid with snow and Dr. Lee had difficulty in getting through. The mother, who was formerly Miss Lilly Schroeder, of Clay Center, Ne braska, and her seven pound baby are getting along nicely during the extremely cold weather. Eddie Craig had his car in the garage during the past five weeks, and when the storm came drifts were piled high in front of the garage jdoors. A group of friends assisted in shoveling it out, when Eddie was suddenly tailed to Alvo due to the illness of Mrs. Craig's mother, Mrs. E. D. Friend. The patient was taken to Lincoln, where she is receiving treatment at the hospital. Roy Goerthy, Murdock postmaster, who has been in the habit of making daily trips between his home two mile3 south of town and the office, was compelled to remain in town a number of days during the past week, as the snow drifts were impassable, either by conveyance or afoot. Truly this has been a winter that the pres ent day generation can look back to for years to come and tell their children and grandchildren of the long continued cold spell and many days that transportation was tied up, while people eyed their dwindling coal piles with grave concern as to where the next day's fuel was com ing from. Had a Tough Journey Dr. L. D. Lee had a call from the neighborhood of Alvo last week that was indeed a most difficult one to make. He was accompanied on the call by his friend, Eddie Craig. The weather was not so bad when they started, but before they were able to get back the wind shifted and the mercury went tumbling to a low level. Mr. Craig, being unaccustomed to the chilling atmosphere of out-1 doors, nearly froze on the trip, and in fact was sick for a day after they got home, but i3 all right now de spite his rigorous experience. Enjoy SStli Anniversary The 5 Sth wedding aniversary of Mr. and Mrs. L. Neitzel was observ ed quietly, but with a real wedding dinner provided by Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Neitzel, and a gorgeous lot of flowers sent by ,Mr. and Mrs. Fred Lowe, of Ashby, Nebr., granddaugh ter of the Neitzel3. Letters of con gratulation came from the children and friends.

As King Edward VIII accustoms himself to the unfamiliar duties of sovereign, another member of the -royal family, the Duke of York, takes up the equally strange task of his new position as heir-presumptive to the British throne. The Duke of York, next in lina of ascent to the crown, is not nearly so well known to the world as hi3 bachelor brother, the present ruler. He is of the studious type, somewhat retiring and reluctant to appear a3 public speaker. Lack ing the genial quality of fellowship possessed by King Edward, the Duke of. York is looked on by some as somewhat "high hat". His oldest daughter, Princess Elizabeth, 8, is next in line of ascent to the throne, followed by her sister, Princess Margaret Rose, born on Aug. 21, 1930. own quiet life, in their commodious j home, onicvinc it to the fullest. Mr. . . ( "eitzel looks after his hardware busi ness and puts in his spare time teach ing and writing and editing weekly Sunday school lessons, while Mrs. Neitzel looks after the comforts and needs of the heme. They have enjoyed comparably good health in their long pilgrimage and the respect and esteem of their friends and neighbors.. And now they are looking with composure and hope ful for a happy ending of their voy age to the sunset of life. Callahan Church Notes F. C. Weber, Pastor These are serious days for the church. If it were possible for me to be in your home the moment you are reading this, this would be the mes sage that I would want you to hear: There is no greater need in our coun try or the world just now than a really effective church. The church can never be more effective than its people are. Other institutions work ing for human welfare can never take the place of the church or do its work. If the world is to be re deemed from sin, selfishness and hate, there is nothing but genuine Christianity that will do it. It seems that Christianity has yet to be really tried. It is the task of the church to urge upon all the acceptance of Christianity. Who will do it if the church does not? Is it not time we all took His work more seriously? A good investment is the time spent in God's house! Digging Out of Snow Drifts Murdock has been emerging from its isolated situation very slowly, but is now beginning to connect with the world again. After several dis couraging attempts, the road to O street south of Elmwood has finally been opened. This i3 the only out let lor the village at the present writing, but it helps greatly to bring new supplies to the community and to provide a way to get into the cit ies among those having cars. Very Good Attendance Sunday school and the regular morning worship were held at the Murdock Evangelical church Sunday, February 1G, with very gratifying results -in attendance. The drifted roads prevented the country member ship from enjoying these services. The Rev. F. C. Weber and the Mur dock pastor each gave messages dur ing the worship hour. Sunday evening services have not been held since February 2nd on ac count of the extreme severe weather and impassable roads. Getting Report Ready Rev. and Mrs. William Rembolt, of Lincoln, visited at the Evangelical parsonage Thursday afternoon. Mr. Rembolt and Mr. Schwab, who are jvtcrnbers of a special survey commit tee of the Nebraska Conference, had several special projects to consider on Thursday, prior to a committee session to be held in Kearney, Ne braska, February 24 and 25. Krs. Friend in Hospital Mrs. E. D. Friend, mother, of Mrs. ::; . ,;Vyyy Princess Elizabeth Eddie Craig, who resides north of Alvo. has been sick for some time and had to be taken to the hospital in Lincoln for treatment last Friday morning. Mrs. Craig vas over to as-j s;st with the care of her mother be- fore she va3 taken to hospital. It is hoped that the ailing lady may scon be restored to her former good health. Contract Let for Water System Pursuant to the advertisement in recent issues of the Journal calling for bidj for the construction of a water works system for Murdock. there were some twenty different contractors in town early last week when the bids were to be opened and the contract awarded. After consid eration of the various bids, the con tract was awarded to a Lincoln firm on its bid of $1,471.00. Work on the new system will be commenced as soon as weather con ditions permit. The influx of people interested in the letting of this contract, coming at a time when the town was prac tically isolated except for rail travel, found Will Zabel. the restaurant man wholly unprepared to take care of the rush of business, and the visitors just about ate him out of house and home, as in their hungry state they were v.illiu gto take any sort of food he was able to prepare for them. But the nest day the rush was over and the cafe business dropped to its below normal volume cf the past fortnight. Supplied I-iail to All The question of getting distribu tion of the accumulating mail intend ed for patrons of the rural route he serves, was solved by Lacey McDon ald last week, when he secured five young men to assist him. As they could not drive or go horseback, they divided the mail among themselves, each taking a portion, and started out afoot to deliver it, going cross country and round about where the drifts would permit of foot travel. As a result they were able to get over the entire route. Those who assisted Mr. McDonald were his two sons, John and Morris McDonald, John Gakemeier, Jr., Rob ert Miller and Edward McCrorey. Kb School for Some Tune With the roads blocked and travel shut off from all directions, the Mur dock schools have not been operat ing for seme time past. However, John Kruger, the caretaker of the building and grounds was there each day in order that the property might be kept in the best of condition and ready to resume service whenever school is resumed again. Hello There, Uurdcck The isolation of the past ten days proved about as inconvenient as a quarantine on the town. No one was able to go anywhere and for a whila it began to look like they would not be able to ,stay home either on ac count cf lack cf coal to keep the home fires burning. As the supply in town portioned out in small lots, even to being carried away in sacks the last day. But, luckily, the following day (Saturday) one firm received a car and the next day the other firm got or.s, greatly relieving the anxiety of j the people. j Throughout it all, the telephone proved a valuable source of communi- 1 cation and the one modern day ccn- j venier.ee that did not break down un- j ! der the terrific onslaught of the ele- t Jn-.cnts. Without it, people would have j been buck to the days cf the eighties, j when similar blizzards swept the, middle west and people had absolute- i lv no method of communication. A Jlule Proves to be a JIula ! George Thimgan anu J. L. Noell i being in re?d o" some coal to keep, the heme Trca burning, concluded to come to town after it, each furnish ing a team. On the way in a team of horses was hitched to the wagon and the seccr.d tsar.i was being lsd be hind so as to be available to he!p pull the load back. The second team was a team pl ir.ulcr. and if there ; r.ny thing worrc mu'c it id two to manage than a them. I! ?- were drivincr along, the mules pulled back, pulling the box c.T the sled runners, j This frightened the hcrcc-s end they ; proceeded to run away. George be-j came entangled in the lines and wr.3 j pulled cut of the wagon hex. while Mr. Xccll remained in the wagon box. j Thir. gave ea.'h a tram to manage and j with the he drifts and slow p-oing. ! t v.-ere a::o to control oc;n tne , h-rr ! rizl: ? and the riiuifs, getting things ! cd in due course of time, and ; j continuing en their way to town af-j ter the coal, which they feel they well earned. Bight I-Ian for the Place That is what the people of Mur dock arJ vicinity think about John Eppings. the highway patrolman! Throughout the past several weeks of the worst blizzards and lowest tem peratures in the history of the U. S. weather bureau, the resources of the i i government, the states, ounties and j townships have been trxed to keep even the mcst traveled federal high ways open to travel. Mr. Eppings, who lias charge of maintaining state highway o. 1, running from the Mur rey corner to where it intersects the O street road two miles south of E'.m wood. kept incessantly at the job of trying to epe-n up the highway, even under the most discouraging circum--tancos, when sections he had clear ed sufficiently to nc-rmit passage by ... ... car, were oiown sunt ana even nigiier and more formidable drifts piled up than these he had conquered. He was out every day, working long and tiresome hours, and when the break in the weather came, with the aid of a band of loyal workers from Mur dock, succeeded ;r opening up that portion of the road south and west of here, affording an nutlet to the out side world via Elmwood and the O E-trect highway. In Borne places the snow was drifted 1T feet high and required plenty of shoveling to clear the way. The force cf men assisting him kept faithfully at the job, and it wa3 due to their efforts that the south outlet was opened up bo soon after the letup in weather came. The Phone Didn't Work During the time the weather has boon so very severe and furnaces were kept fired to capacity in order to keep homes warm, L. Neitzel, who had heard that old dry batteries add to the intensity of the heat when thrown onto a bed of hot coals and also aid in clearing the chimney of any soot accumulations, lessening the danger of fire due to chimneys "burning out," gave the matter a trial. While firins: the furnace one day, his attention was directed to 1 two dry cell3 lying on the ledge ofj the furnace. He unhooked the wirea' from them and pitched them into! i r.e urepoi, wnere ine cnemicai com rcsiticu of the dry cells did just what it had been claimed they would. No more was thought of the mat ter by Mr. Xcitzel, but a little later, when his wife sought to use the tele phone, rhe .found it would not work. A trouble call was reported to the i Murdo:!; manager who notified the ; service man at Weeping Water. He drove to Elm wood and walked from J there to Murdoch, and upon tracing j the trouble, found the batteries were j missing. New ones were connected ; and the phone restored to working j order. The joke is on our genial j hardware merchant, but he will still tell you the batteries worked by in creasing the heat in the furnace. However, he will probably not try it again, or if he Z sci, will get his bat teries from some o:hei source. Ship Stock by Eail Fred Stock, Sr., shipped a car load of fattened cattle to the South Oma ha market last week. Martin Dome meier also shipped a car cf hogs to ; the same market. Paul Stock and city to see their stock sold.
