Nebr. 8 8 8it Gass County Woman's Prize Winning Kitchen Mrs. Walter Farmer of Near South Bend Beceives $200 Check from National Magazine Because Mrs. Walter C. Farmer and her husband did most of the work themselves, the total cost of Mrs. Farmer's improved kitchen that won first prize of $200 in Successful Farming's prize-winning kitchen contest, was only $1S2.85. The Farmers, whose address is RFD 1, Ashland, reside on a farm northwest of South Bend, which they purchased several years ago. "It would be hard to measure the satisfaction and genuine joy my im proved kitchen has brought to me," Mrs. 'Farmer wrote to the magazine that sponsored the contest. Describing the changes made, she said: "One entered the old kitchen from a boarded-up shed-poreh which hid most of the light. One small. Ion and narrow window greeted the visi tor. To the right, poked off in the corner, stood the range with its black pipe running full length diagonally across the room to the chimney on the opposite wall. The reservoir was in the corner, dark to see and hard to fill from the wind mill, with a bucket in your hand, it was up six steps and a turn or two to the corner. To the left of the win dow in a nook were hooks for wraps and a sink (no running water we did the running). In the east wall a small door led to a pantry a very small pantry from which doors swung open into the dining room The floors, unpaiuted pine, liad to be scrubbed every day. The walls once a brilliant blue, were blackened with smoke and there were large areas where the plaster was missing and lath grinned thru. The wood work was painted brown. "Perhaps, because I was born and raised on the prairie and do not care for city life, I longed for vision windows, plenty, of them, for fresh air, light and view. We live on hill from which we can see for miles We have a beautiful picture of our state capitol against a sunset sky, 25 miles distant. Wg can see other towns, too, the trees, a river, and the trains as they leave their long threads of smoke on. a . frosty morn ing. Could you see any of this from our old kitchen?. You wouldn't have known it existed!" And from thi3 inconvenient and unattractive kitchen, Mrs. Farmer goes on to tell the magazine readers how she and her. 'husband drew the plan to change the room about, clos ing a door here, and putting a win dow in its place, providing built-in cabinets and cupboards and a double tub sink right in the center, under a double window, and surrounded by every sort of built-in convenience. When the work was completed (and they did practically everything ex cept the plastering) it was redecor ated and pictures taken and sent to the magazine. The project closed December 31 and the pictures and story of Mrs. Farmer's improved kit chen appear in the May issue of Sue ccssful Farming. NOT TO BUY ANIMALS Frank Cramer of the Tlattsmouth Rendering Works, was at Omaha the first of the week to attend a meet ing of the operators of rendering plants in this section of the state, lome seventeen being represented. The members of the group attended the mectinpr held at 26th and L streets and where a program was out lined. While the members of the jroup had been , engaged in close competition for, Jhc securing of the dead animals and prices had been high. It was decided. Mr. Cramer ctates that hereafter the plants will haul off the dead . animals free of cost but will pay no price for the dead animals. TO VISIT IN WYOMING Mrs. Everett Gooding departed Sat urday afternoon for Casper, Wyo ming, where she will visit at the home- of her brother, John Speck, and also with her brother, Carl Speck, who is recovering from the effects of injuries sustained in an auto acci dent. Carl is expecting to undergo a bone operation inthe next few days to restore him the use of one leg that has been giving him much trouble. Thomas Walling Company Abstract! of Title Phone 334 - PUttimoutn M urray W. G. Boedeker has purchased a new 1939 Buick four door sedan. Mrs. W. O. Troop was a visitor in Plattsmouth the greater part of last week. Dr. It. W. Tyson,, wife and their little daughter were guests for the day last Sunday at the home of the mother of Dr. Tyson, Mrs. L. A. Ty con. Mr. and Mrs. George E. Nickles were in Omaha last Sunday visiting And Mr. Nickles went back to Omaha the following day to look after some business matters. Joseph Martis, Sr., who has been conducting the service station at the old livery barn site, with the begin ning of work on highway No. 1 moved his business to Plattsmouth. Mr. and Mrs. Llcyd Lewis were en tertaining last Sunday and had as their guests Bud Fitch and wife of Union and Mr. and Mrs. Earl Merritt of Murray. All enjoyed a very fine visit and an excellent dinner. Earl Merrit has accepted a con tract to paint and decorate the home of the father of Mrs. Will Minford, W. W. Coble of Omaha and will get it the work as soon as he completes the work which he now has on hand. George Wiles of Weeping Water and a grandson were in Murray last Monday morning looking after some business and while here Mr. Wiles was enjoying a very pleasant visit with his old time friend, Wm. Sporer. J. D. Lewis, father of Mrs. Earl Merritt who makes his home with a son, Lloyd Lewis, over near the river with the son were visiting in Mur ray at the home of his daughter and calling to see his physician. Dr. R. W Tyson. Mr. Lewis has high blood pressure and it is with difficulty that he is able to be about. Old Livery Stable. The building of the overpass on highway No. 1, which has put the old livery barn into the disrard, recalls the. time when the Lockrige black smith shop was on the east side of the railroad and Joe Shaw also had a blacksmith shop on the south side just east of where Henry Heebner now lives and Jack Shaw had a liv ery stabTe where the post office now is and following same was occupied by Dr. B. F. Brendel as stables for his horses when he was practicing medicine in Murray years ago. - 1 -f Fix ".Up 'Detour Road. The road leading north from Mur ray one mile and thence cast to the pavement near the home of Frank Scott has been selected as a detour while work on the overpass is in progress. It nas oeen given a coat oi gravel to protect it in bad weather. Going south the old highway will be used until one has gone a mile, then the road leading east has beenrad ed, but as yet not graveled. The main road was "closed a few days ago in order that there shall be no in terference with the work when it is started. A road has been provided for Herman RIchter and Joe Martis which allows them to get to their re spective places. Detour Means Detour. Since the detour -and the closing of the road leading from the Murray corner service station, that work on the road may not be hindered, W. L. Seybolt who is endeavoring to care for the station himself, has to ex plain to the traveling public that the detcur sign really means that the road is "Closed to travel. There are many who come thinking they can ?et through, not taking the sign at its face value, but after continuing on the road find it rcaly means what it says. Viaduct Causing Many Changes. Some houses have been moved back from the front of the lot and others are in process of being moved. This ..hanges the topography of the town- ite. The Joe Martis place has been moved, while a house which was pur- hased by Fountain Will is to be transferred to the lot he recently ourchascd. The new grade will come the "door of the old livery stable! John leere lemonslrafion Wednes., May 3, 1:30 P. M. DEMONSTRATING John Deere Tractors, Llodels A.9 D. and II. Plowing - Cultivating - Discing - Listing One mile west and a quarter of a mile north of Murray ON THE GARDNER HAMILTON FARM MURRAV HARDWARE and leave a high bank just in front of the door, making the place un tenable. This building was erected more than forty years ago by James Flemming, who operated it for a long time and then disposed of it to Will Crosser who later sold the building to David Amick who operated a liv ery stable for a time, who in turn sold it to D. C. Rhoden, who operated it until he passed away when it was leased to A. D. Bakke who operated a garage1 there for a time and later was used by George W. Rhoden for a service station and In turn a number of people used it, until Joe Martis took it over and with preparations for construction of the overpass has moved his service station to Platts mouth. Thus it would seem during the near half hundred tycars the building has served its purpose and is destined to go the way of the world. To Work in New York City. Herman Breadenkamp, who has been for the past more than a year with the W. L. Seybolt service sta tion has a friend in New York City who secured a job for Herman in a bakery and last Friday he departed for the east, stopping in Chicago for a day before continuing to New York City. Change Light, Telephone Lines. A crew of workmen have been changing the electric light wires into Murray that it may not interfere with the new overpass on highway No. 1 and now have the lines changed so that there is no interference. Like wise the telephone company is changing their lines. Radio listeners in Murray were very much disap pointed because they were unable to hear the program being broadcast from Shenandoah by a group of Mur- day entertainers. Arrived at Coast City. Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Lewis who a short time ago departed for the west, having in view as their destination Pacific Grove, California, where they formerly resided and where there was a bit of employment awaiting him, white they arrived there right and that they would write again soon.
