Be Sure to Hear This Speaker
Leon Ray Livingston, traveler,
author and orator, better known as
the "A-No. 1 Wanderer," will speak
at the Murdock Evangelical church
Thursday evening, March 2nd, at
7:45 p. m. His subject will be:
"Where is My Wandering Boy?"
Mr. Livingston has had a strange
career. Running away from home in
San Francisco at the age of eleven,
he roamed about the country for
thirty years. When he finally re
turned, he discovered that his par
ents had died of broken hearts be
cause of his disappearance. He set
tled down to a life of industry and
usefulness, married and has reared
a family. He is now giving all his
time to the runaway children prob
lem and is trying to show American
youth what a serious mistake they
make when they desert their homes.
He tells parents why children run
away, where they go, the things they
experience, and how to keep them
at home.
In his travels. Mr. Livingston has
covered 520,000 miles at an expense
of $7.61. He knows the life of the
runaway. He has a vital message
out of his own experiences of the
broken past.
Approximately SO.000 girls and
200,000 boys run away every year;
40,000 girls and 35.000 boys arc
never seen again by their parents,
who usually die of broken hearts
and grief.
With millions of unemployed men
and numberless young people tramp
ing aimlessly from place to place,
this message should be instructive
and beneficial. He reveals the tricks
of tramps and their marking of
homes: he teaches how to distin
guish the unfortunate man, who hon
estly seeks employment, from the
vagabonds who not only spread foul,
if not deadly diseases, but educate
harmless young runaways to dyna
mite safes, robb banks, commit other
burglaries and even murder.
Knowing the tramping fraternity
and seeking to build American youth
life without a broken past on the
road, he invites young and old to
hear hi3 message.

Mrs. Frank Sheldon, pioneer resi
dent of Nehawka, is quite ill at her

on him and mangled his leg. He was

Rose, and placed in the hospital.

the mangled leg at once.
Dave Stewart Seriously HI
Dave Stewart, 50-year-old bachel
or, who has long made his home in
Nehawka is seriously ill in the Uni
versity hospital in Omaha.

from his chimney and no commotion

Instead of the modern day mile-a-minute

eighteen until he was twenty-two,
Mr. Woods was the owner of a fine
team of driving horses, the equal cf
which one seldom sees nowadays, and
a buggy that rode as smoothly as
any baby carriage of today. He re
called that many times after calling
on a gay lassie at Greenwood, he
would leave for home at a none too
early hour in the morning, winding
the lines around the dashboard and
falling sound asleep only to awaken
as the team passed over the rail
road at Alvo on his way home. A
few years after his marriage this
trim method of transportation gave
way to a farm team and lumber
wagon as they journeyed to and from

Those were really and truly the good
old days and there is no gainsaying
the fact, as any man of about Mr.
Wood's age will admit.
