They are planning to move the sawmill to the eastern part of the county. This community is about as much interested in airplanes as in arctic dog teams, but it could use a re fund of tax on gasoline used on the ranch. Had Henry Ford worked just thirty hours of the 144 the world’s transportation would have never known the thrill of rolling along in a Model T. — I was one of the more than 17, 000,000 republicans who voted for Alf Landon and a somewhat less number for Lloyd Gillespie, but have seen nothing yet to alter that choice. Hiawatha strides have been made in science, industry and learning, but with 18,000,000 citizens—not of the “rough neck” class—at large t with unmentionable venereal dis * eases there is something to do yet. A neighboring editor tells of “thousands of geese” hovering around a lake in his vicinity. A lone hundred of these wild crea tures of the air make a big showing and much noise. Count ’em over, brother. ■ For the eighth consecutive April, ' Rafe Shaw was over in east Swan Monday making out assessment schedules. Assessors are taking them as yearlings this year if the calves become a year old after April 1. Its the fashion to put everything thru the court test tube and some old timers from the prairie may see about this action of the assessors, A Chambers business concern has closed out their store at Amelia, but the many friends of the Lind says, who have managed the store, will learn with pleasure that they are stocking up to continue the business as their own. They pur chased the building some time ago which has been their home and place of business so this change is effected with little effort. _r* In his 1932 ^cpeptaoce speech Mr. Roosevelt said: “We must . rightly and morally prevent the re f turn of the saloon.” The Nebraska '' legislature in its wisdom has just enacted a law increasing penalties for drunken driving. The country has licensed two and one-half times more places to turn out drunken drivers 'than ever before in our history. Such are some of our human, inconsistences. f The southwest was favored with a good rain Monday night, after a trying day of wind and dust that held something of the terror of the visitations from the “dust bowl” three years ago. The green of spring had already begun to show on meadow and distant hill and was needing the rain to quicken growth. Tuesday morning held promise of additional showers.

Jake, as wc all knew him, had been handicapped by a slight stroke that apparently effected his memory but prior to that time he was always noted for his quick wit, which made him a favorite with all who had the pleasure of meeting him, or the good wife who preceeded him in death in July last year. Their de votion to their church a»nd their family were paramount. They both lived to a ripe age and the vast throng of Menonitc friends near and far, turned out to attend the funeral service and accompany him to his final resting place, bore mute testimony of a man who had made a place for himself in the hearts of many. It was a source of satisfaction to meet a vast number of the decend ents of those Menonites who orig inally settled around us, and 1 will never forget their cheerfulness and appreciation for all their neigh bors. Their achievements and never failing cheerfulness was ever no ticable down to the last. In about the early nineties, when I first used to mingle with them they always appeared to be of a progressive nature and when I met my old schoolmate, Mose Schuitzer, the other day I said, “Mose, this is the first time I’ve seen you since I traded my watch that Dennis Keeley made me a present of when he left here, to you.’’ Mose said that his business is now that of a jeweler. There was not a house in this neighborhood that was not built by the Menonites. Christ Ernst had i. staff und^r his control that could build anything and wouldn’t squeeze the last cent you had out of you either. Undoubtedly he was the one that built the Menonite church that stands on the old Dan Yantzi homestead, which was al ways noticable for its attendance and today it just stands as a re membrance of the past, and a rest ing place for those who are at -tached to their peaceful home. We all unite in expressing our sym pathy to his many relatives and many friends. E. E. ALPHA CLl’B The Alpha Club met at the home of Mrs. Mary Widtfeldt Wednes day, April 14. Eleven members, three guests and ten children were present. The guests were Mrs. E. G. Grover of Omaha, Mrs. Hans Egger of Columbus, and Mrs. Lloyd Whaley of O’Neill. This meeting was children's day and the members gave their most outstanding childhood mem ory in answer to roll call. Very favorable reports were given on the food sale,.which was held in March. Several of the members have heard from their capsule friend and are quite curious to know' who it is. After the business meeting, Marie Lnnsworth gave a report on the child welfare law, and Evelyn Sim onson gave a report on eugenic children. Mrs. Widtfeldt then served a delicious luncheon. This court situation is developing so fast that some of these days we expect to see the girls go into di vorce court taking their judges | with them. They used to say that hell was paved with good intentions and maybe that is why so many people go there driving ninety miles an hour.

Check delivered prices in your town and see for yourself. — .. —' i • Of course, first cost doesn't prove “low cost” — you must consider operating cost also. The “60” has definitely estab lished itself as the most economical ear in Ford history. Ford cars have been famous for economy for 34 years, so that means something! Owners who have driven it thou sands of miles report that the Ford “60” averages In-tween 22 and 27 miles on a gallon of gasoline. You can prove those figures — on the open road — in a car pro vided by the nearest Ford dealer. • When you’ve finished your per sonal check-up, ask yourself: “Do I want to save money the day I buy my ear and every mile 1 drive it?” “Do 1 want a safe, roomy, com fortable car of advanced design — created from the finest materials to the highest precision stand ards?” There’s only one answer, of course — the 1937 Ford V-8. ford V-S A A •' “»»'*”■ *■*»«»• Pricaa h /U TriaspMtaUti chufis, B»gln at Vl■ V State ad Frtaal tan atri This price In for the fiO-homepower Coape Mpilpped with front and rear bumper*, spare tire, bora, windshield wiper, sun visor, glove compartment, and ash tray. $J5 A MONTH, after usual down-payment.
