Writes of Old
Friends' Visits
Former Murdock Residents Meet
Many Old Time Friends Who Are
Visiting in the West.
Boise, Idaho, Sept. 20, 1937.
Dear Journal:
The writer thought it might prove
interesting "to your readers to hear
from far off Idaho, from one of your
subscribers ho has read the Journal
from its infancy. While we have been
here for 27 years the coming Octo
ber, we still find the columns of
news gathered by our old friend
Briggs very interesting indeed, al
though the ranks of' our old friends
and acquaintances is getting thinner
and their names appear less often.
Two weeks ago yesterday, on a
Sunday we were delightfully sur
prised to have visit us Mrs. Alyce
Hartung Miller, of Kansas City, a
granddaughter of Louis Neitzel. She
was with her husband and another
young couple Scurlock by name, who
were on their way to Baniff, Canada,
to attend some convention. We
showed them a good time and quite
naturally they were plaased
our little city.
The following Sunday we
again surprised and delighted
with
were
with
a visit from former Xebraskans, this!
time it was Mrs. J. Goehry and her
daughter Martha, with Joe Burt, a
i
grandson, as chauffeur; they are now J
residents of Lincoln. This party was I
making a tour of the far west visit-j
ing their relatives. Not having seenj
these good people for years, it was I
a glorious reunion of old friends who
had formerly lived in Murdock.
Who should roll in yesterday aft
ernoon (the third Sunday in a row)
but our son Kranci3 who brought hi3
grandmother and aunt Minnie Guth
mann from Plattsmouth for a month's
visit with their relatives here; after
which they will take the Portland
Rose for home again. They report a
very fine overland trip in a new
Studebaker and saw some wonderful
scenery on the vay. Having made
this trip via automobile several times
before, they chose a new route and
in that way they get to see new
country every, trip out..Franci3 says
that his passengers are both very
fine travelers.. .... . , ... , ...
We are just wondering who from
the east may drop in upon us next
Sunday, making it four in a row.
II. R. NEITZEL.
SAVE ANNUALS FB0M FROST
Gardeners can save many of their
favorite annuals from the first heavy
frosts and prolong enjoyment of their
bloom by taking them indoors before
cold weather kills them.
The following flowers, according
to the Ferry-Morse Seed Institute,
may successfully be taken up and
grown for several weeks indoors:
Ageratum, begonia, calendula, carn
ation, coleus, pinks, dimorphotheca,
lobelia, dwarf marigold, pansy, pe
tunia and snapdragon.
The advent of killing frosts must,
of course, be anticipated. About 24
hours before removing the plants
soak the ground in which they are
growing. In digging up the plants,
take as much of the soil in which
they are rooted as,can be contained
in the flower pots. Cut away two
thirds of the plant growth, place the
pots in a sunny window and treat the
flowers as ordinary house plants. Be
cause of their nature, the plants
should continue growth and flowering
if properly treated.
