Bought First Pound of Butter
Although married thirty-five years,
Mr. and Mrs. Paul Schewe last week
bought their first pound of butter.
Up until then they had churned all
the butter used in their home and
had never thought of buying any.
In that length of time, they sat down
io auuui j4,ovv meais, and a lot or
butter was required, but they al
ways managed to have some of their
own making. Then last week a slip
of some sort occurred as you know
such things will sometimes happen in
the best of regulated families and
lo and behold, they were without but
ter and had to go to town and buy
a pound. That is a record, we would
say, deservng of a place in Ripley's
"Believe It or Xot."

Making Progress with Well
The new well which is expected to
supply the Murdock water system
with an abundance of water, is be

southwestern part of town and is
now down about 35 feet. It is being
cased with steel casing. The hole Is
to be decreased in size from 52 to 42
inches in diameter and will be sunk
an addition 20 feet after which an
other reduction in size will be made
and so on down, until it reaches the
contemplated 110 feet, where a solid
rock strata is expected to exist. There
the size will be reduced to 12 inches
in diameter. If adequate water is
found the well will be gravel packed
around the smaller casing and the
larger casings removed. In this man
ner it is expected to keep the fine
sand that has caused trouble in so
many other wells, out.

Rev. E. C. McFadden, in charge
of the parishes of Syracuse and
Avoca was ordained a priest by Arch
bishop J. J. Glennan at Kenrick Sem
inary in St. Louis, Mo., June 12,
1914. Father McFadden entered the
army the day after war was de
clared and was commissioned as
First Lieutenant Chaplain in the
regular army and became a captain
before his resignation from the army
after the war.
Father McFadden served as pastor
of the Milligan-Tobias parishes un
til 1935, when he was transferred to
Syracuse and Avoca. Father McFad
den is very active in the American
Legion, being at present commander
of Massie-Richards American Legion
post Xo. 100 of Syracuse. He served
at Department Chaplain of the Le
gion in 1932-33 and is past county
commander of Otoe county. At pres
ent he is state chaplain of the 40
s rf th American Leeion and
AAV4 - "- ,
Legion 12th district Chaplain. 'He
served one rear as state chairman of
Junior baseball and is at the present
time one of the three members of
the Legion's state baseball committee
administering the Junior baseball
program over the state.
The Journal congratulates Father
McFadden on his twenty-five years
of priesthood. Knowing him very
well, we have always found him to
be very capable and fair-minded a
man who has the interest of every
one and especially the younger gen
eration at heart. His administration
of the Junior baseball program in
1937 was most successful, because in
all the little difficulties that arose
he made team managers see the point
that they themselves should have
been teaching the boys, namely, that
winning games is not all-important;
the important thing is good sports
manship win or lose.
His administration of the two par
ishes has also been most successful,
and we rather guess because he has
applied the same philosophy to re
ligion that he brought to American
t Ao-nn Tiininr baseball at a time
JUiCIVF.. W .
when slightly other ideas prevailed
among the managers.
VILLAGE PROUD AS BIRTH
PLACE OF FIRST TRACTOR
MoGREGOR. Ia. (UP) A marker
will be erected soon in the little vil
lage of Froelich, la., to designate
the spot where the first gasoline trac
tor was built.
The location is beside Highways
18 and C2.
A bronze plate on the marker will
state:
"In this village John Froelich built
the first gasoline tractor i that pro
pelled Itself backward as well as for
ward. More far reaching in its ef
fect than any other event in modern
agricultural history, it moved out of
this village and into the world in
1892."
Froelich operated a feed mill and
elevator and got his idea from watch
ing a steam engine being used for
threshing. He noticed that in the
apareely settled Dakotas, for Instance,
difficulty always was encountered in
getting water for the steam engines.
Froelich realized little financial
gain from his invention although he
organized a company and manufac
tured gasoline tractors at Waterloo.
