Mrs. Helen Cordon expects to leave
this week to spend the winter in the
south with her brothers. She will
go to Chattanooga. Tennessee, to vis
it her brother Roy and family and ex
pects to be gone three mouths or
more.
A force of men are at work this
week putting new timbers and found
ation under one of ttie water tanks
at the depot. The tank will be moved
back 14 inches, housed underneath
and equipped with a heater to pro
tect it from freezing.
C. T. Xoell and ,von Kd were in
town Saturday morning on some
business matters. Th is was the fir.t
time Mr. Noell had been to town
since he moved onto the farm near
Nehawka some weeks ago. He said
he had been to Nehawka once; had
teen too busy on the farm looking
after stock F.nd milking the seven
cows but he liked the job fine and
much better than trancing the
streets of Weeping Water as nipht
watch in which capacity he served
for many years.
Among those who will move from
the Weeping Water mommunity next
March when the annual moving time
comes is the H. Lee Marshall far"ily
who expect to go to Minong. Wiscon
sin, to take charge of and start im
proviiiEr a tract of S00 acres of land.
This is land that was purchased by
Mrs. Marshall's brother. Will CrJb
tree. who has headquarters at Wash
ington. D. C. as secretary of the na
tional board of education. The tract
is in the heart of a rich dairying
country and promises to be a very
valuable holding when improved and
worked.
Trouble in getting fuel is not
merely a matter of coal shortage.
From Sunday to" Tuesday the city
light and water plant was out of fuel
oil and had to use kerosene in the
engines. Tuesday a car of crude oil
arrived which will last for some time
and of course kerosene is generally
available here as the Doty and Stand
ard Oil companies' supply tanks are
located here. However kerosene is
just about twice-as expensive as fuel
oil. , 1
We are fortunate Jut as this time
in having oil burning engines instead
of coal fired steam engines. Al
though a good many think a steam
plant for Weeping Water would be
more economical and serviceable

released by Tuesday morning the lo
