This gentleman is Amsdel Sheldon and to meet him is a pleasure and a -rare treat. The Sheldon home is one of the most comfortable in that section' of the county and well situated to both Avoca and Weeping Water. Mr. Sheldon is a member of the family that has written their names in the history of Nebraska and a worthy representative of this race of sturdy strong Americans. He was born in Windsor county, Vermont, September 27, 1839, and came to Nebraska in 1858, settling in Berlin precinct, Otoe county, where he made his home until 1884 when he located in Avoca precinct. Mr. Shelaon was married in 1S74 in Otoe county to Miss Celia Ellis, whose parents had been among the early settlers of that county. While diiving to Weeping Water a few days ago the writer had occasion to make a stop at the Sheldon farm and the few minutes visit with this splendid pioneer citizen was more than enjoyed and the inspiration of his Americanism is something that will long remain with us. UPHEAVAL CONTINUES From Wednesday's Daily. Just what to do in regard to the cobble stone paving on Main street is one of the problems that is bringing gray hairs to the heads of the may or, councilmen and street commis sioner . at the present time. The block on Main street between Fifth and Sixth has within the past week become filled with bulged up sec tions of paving caused undoubtedly by .the softening of the soil in which the paving is laid and heavy vehicles passing along the street have caused portions of the cobble stones to sink and others to bulge up and makes the street resemble one of the battle fields of Europe with the numerous holes and piled up stones.

He came back displaying boundless enthusiasm over the trip and describ ed fluently the many unique and in teresting features which were offered at this convention of the makers and salesmen of Delco-Light, the well known farm, electric plant. Some of the more striking fea tures, says. Rosenthal were, first the opening session on Thursday morn ing when talks were made by R. H. Grant, general manager, and other officers of the company. These talks, he stated, had to do largely withthe general proposition of the 6pread and development of electrical equipment for the rural communities and many valuable new' electrical products were announced. On Thursday afternoon, the whole convention body of some 1590 mem bers were taken on a trip through the great Delco-Light factory, largest of its kind in the world and covering more than a million square feet of floor space. On Thursday night the feature was a comedy with music, produced and presented" exclusively for the Delco-Light organization. Friday's program dealt with in timate service and financial problems and included, also, a striking parade of factory employes representing each department. The keenest inter est and enthusiasm were displayed on every hand, declares Rosenthal clear up to the culminating feature, the annual banquet for the entire convention body, on Saturday night. Prominent speakers delivered stirring talks, and at the conclusion, motion pictures were shown of many of the important features of the three-day convention. Rosenthal declares that a his opinion electricity is one of the most important forces- offered the farmer today and that that opinion was strengthened by what he saw and heard at the tremendous gathering of salesmen of electrical products. An electrical 'exposition conducted by about 100 manufacturers of electri: cal appliances was a valuable fea ture of the convention, he adds, and concludes that when . all farmers come to use electricity as they will one day, the result will be a most valuable saving of time and laboi and the unquestioned addition of un told comfort and enjoyment, made possible by .the enjoyment of the ad vantages that electricity alone af fords. URGE ACTION ON RE LIEF LEGISLATION American Legion Post Here Endorses Action of National Committee . in Stand for Needed Relief From Wednesday's Dally. The special meeting of the Amer ican Legion last evening took up the matter of the proposed legislation looking to a' suitable and acceptable settlement of the relief legislation pending before congress. The na tional executive committee has just completed the plans for what is known as the four-fold settlement plan providing for farm loans, home settlement, whereby the service men can secure aid in founding a home in either the city or the country, the plan of vocational training or a cash compensation plan of $1.50 per day as long as a man was in service after April 6, 1917. Any of these may be accepted by the men if the bill is passed and will give every man an opportunity of getting some suitable settlement. The local post adopted resolutions favoring this plan and a wire was "sent to both Senator Hitchcock and Norris as well as Congressman Rea vis, urging them to take a stand for this proposition when it should be brought before congress. , - It wa a rather . disappointment that more of the service men. were not present as the matter was one of importance to every one who has served more tlian six months in the service of the nation. .

BUSINESS IS HUMMING THERE New Buildings Being in Course of Erection and "Manufacturing Plant Snowed Under While on his rounds of news gath ering over the county last week, the Journal field representative tarried briefly in the hustling village of Ne hawka. noting the activities of peo ple there and jotting down a few items of exceeding interest, .which we reproduce below: Buildinsr Two New Houses Frank Sheldon, one of the progres sive citizens and ever a booster for Nehawka, is again comin:? to the front in an endeavor to supply the needed places of abode for those de siring to make their home ,in the town. He is Just now having con structed two concrete block houses for workmen who are employed by the Sheldon Manufacturing Co., and who are badly in need of a place to live. . Sheldon Company Enlarging The Sheldon Manufacturing com pany, which is being kept more than busy manufacturing cement mixers, is preparing .to provide' room and manufacturing facilities to enable them to cope with an increasing de mand for the Sheldon mixer, and with this end in view Mill, during the coming summer, erect two ad ditional buildings, one for housing the foundry where the castings used in their product will be made, and the other for the manufacture of the steel barrels used in the mixer. The Sheldon, company does more than any other one concern to keep N'ehawka before the public, and in addition further boosts the town by iffording employment 10 a large lumber of its citizens. Home Again from Hospital - Little Harriett Stone, daughter of Carl V.- Stone and wifyj, who has been troubled with hernia, was tak an to St. Catherine's hospital in Omaha some ten days ago, where he underwent an, operation. She was accompanied by her parents, who re mained at her bedside until it was assured that she was progressing nicely, when the father returned, leaving the mother there until last Saturday when she was able to ac company the little girl home. Mr. Stone went up Saturday morning to assist them home, and although the trip made the little patient rather 3ore, she is progressing nicely fol lowing a rest. Excellent Time Enjoyed The Rebeccah assembly, - of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows of Nehawka gave one of the most pleas ing and laughable farces imaginable at the Odd Fellows hall last Satur lay, and one that struck the people who attended as being genuinely funny. The title of the play was "Deacon Oubbs," and while it would be a 3cream played by a company of ut ter strangers, the filling .of the cast from among Nehawka people made it even more enjoyable. The part of "Deacon Dubbs, from Sorghum Center, West Virginny," was taken by J. W. Magney, and in this he demonstrated wonderful abil- ty and not a move did he make but that he was greeted- with a laugh !rom the audience. Chalmer Switzer toolc the part of mos Coleman, ta young barrister reeking fame and a chance to make a living, proving to be the sport of Mie company. J. J. Pollard, who took the part of Rawdon Cowley, a wolf in sheep 8 clothing, was in reality a true personification - of the part he sought to represent. H. L. Thomas, justice of the peace and auctioneer as well, proved a most happy blend ing of these two characters and al though known as .Major McNutt, was net so nutty after all. H. M. Pol lard as Deuteronomy Jones, a ' rural swain, knew well his part and dem onstrated a talent for the part he took far in excess of what might be reasonablj' expected among home tat ent players. k As a schoolma'am who was aDie to care for nerseit ana to solve the difficult problems which confronted her, Mrs. J. W. Thomas was more than a success. Miss Phil Iena Popover, who was smitten with the charms of the Deacon was the part assigned to Mrs. H. M. Pollard and she was there wnen.it-came to showering undeniable attentions up on the erstwhile calm, church man. Wilma St. John, a girl of untold' wealth, was ably ptayed by Miss Emily Dale and "Trixie" Coleman, just girl and full of the "Old Nick," to the extent that she kept every body guessing and the animals "all stirred up, was adequately handled by Mrs. J. J. Pollard. 'Yennie Yohnson," the hired girl from Sweden, and who always said the wrong thing at the- right time and the right thing at the . wrong time, wa really a "Yumping Yeho siphat" and a fun-proroking charac ter that kept tha audience in an up-, roar of laughter. Thitt party was ex-! ceedingly well played by Ruth Hiu ton. Miss Verna Harris presided at the piano and during an intermission be tween the acts. Mrs. C. E. Alford favored the audience with an excel lent reading. , V "-7 I K. M Mm . t it m torn . Cowitrllt 1317 SHIRTS!
