MYNARD CHURCH NOTES
What is the cure for indifference?
That question we hear asked time
after time. There is a story told of
a jack rabbit that was sitting lazily
on his hind feet watching the setting
sun. All of a sudden he thought it
was time to move and he went some
place.
The motto is don't set up and sit,
get up and git. This will cure indif
ference when practiced by the indi
vidual. Or in other words put a lit
tle enthusiasm into whatever your
hands find to do. At a county fair up
in New England there was a constant
crowd around a certain exhibit, which
created quite a bit of excitement, and
a great deal of admiration, and was
the occasion for many remarks. The
exhibit was marked Raised on an
Abandoned Farm. This exhibit in
cluded twenty-two varieties of pota
toes, several varieties of wheat, oats,
barley, rye squash, mellons, beets,
carrots, turnips and onions. Someone
asked how could a man from the city
make a success of farming. The rea
son: He loved his work, and therefore
i he made a success of it, he really got
something out of it because he was
willing to put something into it. We
wonder why so many people get so
little out of the church.
They fail to put anything into it.
A mother went home from the
morning service, and said she did
not enjoy the sermon that morning,
it was no good. Her little girl was a
philosopher and said, "Mother, what
could you expect for a penny."
Let us put a lifile enthusiasm into
the church, and see if we don't get
something out of it.
You may not like everything the
preacher says or does. I wonder if he
likes everything you do or say. Let
us be reasonable Christians, and
come out to the Children's service
Sunday morning and enjoy this ser
vice. Sabbath school at 10 o'clock.
Children's service at 11.
II. A. McKELVEY,
Pastor.
HOME FROM BRIEF TRIP
From Tuesday's Pally
The Elmer Webb family arrived
home last night from a four day

Creighton Saturday evening, being
the major precipitation of the past
three weeks. A little rain fell at
Center Friday evening, at the same
time a small twister was cutting a
narrow swath in the vicinity of Mc
Lean, some 2( miles cast. Farm build
ings were destroyed and many head
of live stok killed, but residents
saw the approaching storm in time
to take refuge in caves (nearly every
farm home up that way has one) and
no lives were lost.
At Pierce three inches of rain fell
Saturday afternoon in a comparative
ly short, time.
The Webb family were accompan
ied home by Miss Ida Mae Lang, a
I Knox county young lady who has
been engaged in teaching for a num
ber of years and who will seek a
school in southeastern Nebraska for
the coming year.

ADDS NEW LINE
The Rosen Auto company of Platts
mouth has taken on the Allis-Chal-mers
agricultural farm machinery
line. This line will be carried in ad
dition to the line of new and used
cars which they have been carrying.
The Allis-Chalmers All Crop Har
vester which they are now fea
turing is designed especially for the
mid-western farmer. It will harvest
by itself 83 different crops among
which are our own crops of wheat,
oats, rye, alfalfa, clover, barley, and
timothy. This machine will reduce
the cost of harvesting by at least
60. It is mobile and can be trans
ported without demounting any parts,
since it has a total clearance of eleven
and one-half feet. This machine de
spite the fact that it has a five foot
cuting bar can harvest at the rate of
2 acres per hour; and will travel at a
ground speed of three to five miles
per hour.
Several of our farmers have al
ready purchased these machines.
Among the satisfied owners are Al
vin McReynolds at Nehawka, Mal
vin Wiles at Weeping Water, Ed and
Chas. Howard at Murray, William W.
Wetenkamp at Mynard. Many others
are contemplating buying this ma
chine. Another product which they are
featuring, which has achieved inter
national fame, is the Allis-Chalmers
championship plows. During the past
season an A-C strictly stock plow was
entered in the manufacturers class at
four nationally famous plowing
matches, and won all four champion
ships. This plow conies in a two,
three, four, and five bottom sizes. It
has such features as poser lift, light
draft, and other features.
The Allis-Chalmers tractor was the
first to come out with rubber ties.
Since that time, other major manu
facturers have followed their ex
ample. This tractor is light, power
ful, cheap operating and is available
in all types of wheels.

Missouri River
Reaches High
Point Today
Crest Thought to Ee Here During
the Day, Altho Stream Still
High- Near Blair.
From Wednesday's Daily
The Missouri river ac this point
was still at a very high stage today
and showed a two inch rise over that
of yesterday or ltl.7, but the exper
ienced rivermen who have grown
familiar with the old muddy, are of
tho opinion that the stream is now
at it? cret.
The Hood waters are now well over
the bottoms near the mouth of the
sewer creek and have seeped up near
the residence of the Ray Ikrold fam
ily and the water from the main river
also has grown close to the C rover
Pledge homo straight east of the Bur
lington station and near the river
bank. In several places the water is
peeping through the corn land of T.
II. Pollock east of the pumping sta
I'on, seeming to come in from one of
the drainage ditches that have been
built east 'of the road.
Water ha come up around the
Grebe place along the Missouri and
near the railroad bridge but has oc
casioned but little wory to these vet
eran dwellers of the Missouri banka
and who have had many years of ex
perience with the river in its angry
moods.
At Blair the river was reported
near its anticipated crest of ItJ.S feet.
Weary CCC men and farmers had
given up the hopeless task of saving
a dike about five miles north of the
city which had broken in three places
during the day and flooded a thou
sand acres of land. The crews, which
have been working in shifts day and
night since Monday morning, turned
their attention to another dike about
three miles south of Blair.
Already between two hundred and
three hundred acres of corn and
wheat in that section were covered
with a foot of water on the farm
owned by Deputy Sheriff William
Gustin.
This dike, only six feet thick, al
ready had 10 feet of water behind
it Tuesday night, and it was feared
efforts to save it might fail before
the river flood crest passes.
The crest of the flood reached
Bellevue this morning at 10 o'clock
and a dike that was used to pro
ted the farming land was broken
and some 400 acres of wheat wire
under water. The dike was on the
farm of J. A. Hippner and it is
thought the dike may have been tam
pered with and weakened permitting
it to be cut out by the water.
held their last meeting Tor this club
year at the home of the president,
Mrs. Nellie Long, when a picnic din
ner was enjoyed by the members and

followed by entertainment which had
been prepared by the entertainment
committee for the occasion.

ciability. All pronounced .Mrs. Long
a royal entertainer.
