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

Canada about 1880, Jacob Erb.
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

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.

1937 Ford V»8
• If you think that “all low-price
cars cost about the same” — for
get it I They don't.
Ford makes a car — a 60-horse
power economy Ford V-8 — that
sells from 30 to 60 dollars under
the prices asked for any other car
of comparable size. The lowest
Ford prices in years!
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.
