She with the husband have lived happily on the farm a short distance from Weeping Water and ever ready to do a kind turn to any one needing a friend.

The funeral services were held at the Congregational church here Wednesday afternoon, with in terment at Oakwood cemetery. Will They Build New Koad? There has been a good deal of agitation regarding changing the road which runs west from Weeping Water which has been over a hill and a considerable detour, but which is desired to have road run straight west of town, and some have offered to donate neat sums for the changing of the road. The road is to be macadam ized for four miles west and it is de sired by some to have the road straightened at the same time. While there are a number of people willing to contribute to the expense, it is a guess whether they will be able to get together enough money to accomplish the desired change.

Bryant Motor Co. Sales and Service University Workers Find Fossil Fields Republican River Valley Near Red Cloud Reveals Traces of the Early Animal Life. LINCOLN If the great P. T. Bar num were alive today, he would be more than mildly interested in the fossil fields of Nebraska. First the University of Nebraska museum made history for the state when it uncov ered and later mounted the giant form of "Archidiskodon," the world's largest elephant. And now Nebras- kans have another fossil gem to talk about Titanotylpus, probably the world's largest camel. Just how large the creature was, officials are not sure, but they do know that one of its vertabra meas ures all of 11 inches in length. Com pare this with a human vertebra measuring not more than an inch. The story of how this giant "pad foot" was discovered (for that is what Titanotylpus means) is interest ing. While investigating the terraces of the Republican river valley near Red Cloud one day, C. Bertrand Schultz, senior field man for the musem and several student paleonto logists found the lower jaw of this same kind of camel. Since finders are privileged to name their new speci mens. Dr. E. H. Barbour, director of the museum and Schultz named the new monster Titanotylpus Nebras censis, thus becoming another sci entific achievement for the state and the institution. Since the lower jaw had now been found, the problem was to locate the other skeletal remains. This was not accomplished, how ever, until the very close of this sum mer's field work in western Nebras ka. Digging along eroded canyon walls in the snd hill region of the state this fall, Schultz and his staff "bumped" into several bones of the big camel. .But the surprise of it all came after several hours of work when it was found that this deposit contained not just one or two speci mens of this new form, but a whole herd of them. The necessity of returning to the university at once made it possible for the group to ship back to Lincoln only a few fossil bones. Friends of the museum remained on the job for several days working the site and shipping back wha.t bones they could unearth to the .museum laboratories. The season for field work being prac ticaly at an end, Dr. Barbour does not anticipate that many more camel bones will be uncovered this year. Early next summer, however Schultz and the museum staff will head directly for the camel site and will finish the task of bringing to light the massive bones of Titanotyl pus. The next step is the mounting which will be done by experts in the preparatory laboratories, and finally its formal presentation to the public thus to become another prehistoric creature whose towering frame will thrill the hearts of countless num bers of museum visitors. A last minute check revealed that the university has now received a metapodial bone, various veretebrae, both neck and back digits, a skull, which measures approximately three feet, a part of a lower Jaw, various heel bones, a tibia, and several of the ankle bones. LONGER SCHOOL HOURS. LESS HOME WORK VOTED j CLEVELAND (UP) The aver age high school student prefers lone; er school hours and shorter home work assignments, according: to a "survey-at-random" made at East Technical East and Lincoln high schools here. Although home work is decreasing in grade schools," it still is the night mare haunting the upper gradesmen. A majority of students at the three schools surveyed, said they would be willing to stay longer at school and there complete their home work if long week-end assignments and night ly work were eliminated. A national youth administration survey of 800 parents showed that the average student studies 1.39 hours at home. Parents requested home work assignments to be made 1.71 hours long, the survey disclosed.

Bible School Sunday, November 21st "Christian Workers" I Cor. 3:10-15; Gal. 6:6-10. In last Sunday's lesson we gave especial attention to the "Christian Minister" and today to the "Chris tian Worker," but both are laborers together with God. The church is designated as a building (See Eph. 2:20-22) where many kinds of work ers are used, but above all the work er must be a specialist, skilled in doing his work well, for they build for eternity. Here is the weakness most apparent, the church very sadly lacks skilled workers; therefore the superficial work, hence the great loss from our Sunday schools the church does not hold her scholars. We are laying here special emphasis on the teaching of God's word. Jesus was a "worker." He says. "We mustjpoor material than not work at all. 'work' the works of him that sent! A man may thus save his soul even me, while it is day." (John 9:4). It j though his work goes up in smoke, is arso called "labor" ' (Matt. 9:37): The fire to which Paul here refers by the Apostles called "service." is simply a symbol of judgment, like (Rom. 1:9; Col. 3:24). This work, labor or service con sists of moulding character, making known to the world the love of God a? manifest in Christ Jesus, who. is the foundation of our salvation, that in Him alone man can be saved, and j through Him can become a living' stone in the building (the church). To impart this knowledge to men requires the highest kind of skill. No one who has not experienced the regeneration, justification and sanc- tification through the mercy of God and the washing of the Holy Spirit j in the blood of the Lamb of God! from all sin. should undertake to lead souls to Christ, if they have not gone the way themselves. Of all labor, this is the most im portant no unskilled "workmen" can be used. How often do substi tute teachers do more harm than good. (This applies equally to the pulpit). In the erection of an edifice sys-jon within. To sow to the spirit is tern order must be observed; howj simply to live a spiritual life, in the much more then is this true in build-I power of the spirit of God, led by ing the Kingdom of God, for, a3 the spirit, energized by His spirit, as stated above, we are building for keeking the will of God himself. The eternity and we must use good ma-! injunction not to be weary in well- terial back sliders can wreck the building often have done great harm to the church. See to it that men are really converted before they are taken into the church. The over ambitious minister who wants to make a good showing at conference, of having increased the membership of his charge, has been gathering "cheap" material wood, hay, stub ble that will not stand the test in "that day." How much "inf lamable" material some churches contain! Stella Tridle, and one son, Lester Champlain, both of whom live in Ne braska City. She vas reunited in marriage to John Wf Root at Nebraska City, Feb ruary 17, 1908. He preceded her in death November 4, 1928. She has made her home in Eagle since 190S and has been a member of the Eagle Methodist Episcopal church since 1911. She leaves to mourn her passing, her daughter and son; one brother, Roy Gandy of Omaha; a number of grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Miscellaneous Shower. A miscellaneous shower was given at the home of Mrs. Joe Rudolph, Thursday evening, November. 1 1th, in courtesy to Miss Pauline Wall, who is soon to wed Paul B. Johnson. After the guests had written re cipes and bits of advice for the bride-to-be, a varied program of entertain ment and games was enjoyed.

Keen, Ax Lesson Study! By L. Neitzel, Murdock, Neb. But what shall be said of the great mass of members who have talent and refuse to use it; those who will not accept any responsibility; who sit idly on the sidelines,criticise and find fault with the work and work ers, but do nothing to help or bet ter conditions. The thought is over whelming that, they will some time wake up when too late and cry out in despair: "Must I go there empty-handed Thus my dear redeemer meet? Not one day of service give Him, Lay no trophy at His feet? "O ye saints, arouse, be earnest. Up and work while yet 'tis day; Ere the night of death o'ertake thee Strive for souls while still you may." It is better to work ga;bering fire which tests true value of gold or silver. Another way of Christian work is considered as sowing. Preaching and teaching js sowing. The seed3 plant ed in the mind3 of pupils are bound to grow, be it good or bad seed. How oft does Paul and the apostles warn aeainst false teachers and false doc trines; they are likened to cancer (see II Tim. 2:17). Then again it refers to men's lives; they act and live and seem to think they can sow to the devil and reap hot the devil's pay. That is a dangerous thing to do; all nature proves that what we sow we reap only we in variably reap vastly more than we fow. O the folly fo." men to make themselves believe that they can de ceive God. If not checked, the har vest of corruption begins here and continues in the life to come. The bloated face, the sensual leer, the sullen brow tells of what is going doing is much needed, because of man growing tired so easily. Life may seem long and dreary waiting for the harvest may try , our- patiencer-r-but a harvest will follow sure. May Christian workers take courage, sow good seed, wait patiently for the har vest it will come in "due season." "And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament, and they that turn many to right eousness, as the stars for ever and eer." (Dan. 12:3). by the guests, which she will find very useful in her new home. Delicious refreshments were served by the hostesses.
